2019-2020年高二英语下学期5月阶段性检测试题第一部分 阅读理解第一节：请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） AThe latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer. All the stores are selling it; everyone wants one. Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food. However, that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods. In case youre thinking of buying a steamer, Ive done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best.l Folding SteamerThe simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel (不锈钢) version.Advantages: This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the centre allows for easy lifting and its easy to clean.Disadvantages: It only holds small dishes. Also, if you put too much water in the pan, it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery. If you put too little water in and let it get dry, you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables.l Steaming PanThis is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers, which sits on the oven ring. The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living.Advantages: This is an excellent steamer, lightweight, easy to clean, and of all the steamers Ive tried, this cooks the fastest. Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top. Its easier to store. Disadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen. You cannot see the food cooking from the top. It doesnt supply a dish for cooking rice.For serious users of steamers, I remend having one of each version. If you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type. 1. Why did the author carry out the survey?A. To inform people of different steamers.B. To run an advertisement for steamers.C. To find out a suitable steamer to buy.D. To learn how to cook with steamers.2. What can we learn about the folding steamer?A. It es in different kinds of shapes and sizes.B. It is designed for large families.C. It is able to clean itself.D. It is easy to take out.3. According to the author, you should _.A. use steamers to save cooking timeB. buy a steamer with dishes suppliedC. do a survey before choosing a steamerD. buy a folding steamer if you want to tryB A Dangerous Journey On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their trip around the world. Earhart had trouble shortly after takeoff. The weather was stormy, so she had to fly at 3,000 meters (10,000 feet). Going this high, the plane used gas quickly. After about twenty hours, Earhart and Noonan approached Howland Island. The island was only about 105 kilometers (65 miles) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldnt see it. Near Howland, a ship, the Itasca, was waiting. Earhart contacted the ship: “Gas is low,” she said. The Itasca tried to maintain contact with her but got no response. Finally, the Itasca called for help. People searched for Earhart and Noonan for days. Despite the searchers efforts, they found nothing.Missing! What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. During the flight, she probably headed in the wrong direction because the sun was bright and it was hard to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of gas, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived the plane crash, swam to an uninhabited (无人居住的) island, and later died there. Still others think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity. Although the first theory seems most likely, none of these ideas has been proven. Today, people are still looking into Earharts and Noonans disappearance. (Noonans body has also never been found.) Whatever happened, Amelia probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “Id like best to go in my plane.”4. Why was flying to Howland Island difficult?A. Earhart was sick after takeoff.B. The sun was too bright and shining. C. Their plane was damaged.D. It was very far from New Guinea.5. Which statement would the writer most probably agree with?A. Amelias plane probably ran out of gas and she died at sea.B. It is possible that Fred Noonan killed Amelia Earhart.C. Amelia Earhart probably died on an island in the Pacific.D. Fred Noonan might still be alive today. 6. What does the underlined word “go” in the last paragraph mean?A. fly B. leave C. dieD. travelCIt is important for countries to develop. Sometimes development can do more harm than good for a country. Therefore, this development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. It focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one that is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earths natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things. The list is almost endless. For all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. On top of this, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity. As people are being more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are being more and more popular.In many parts of the world, tentative(试验性的) steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are training to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelectricity to provide power for their small villages. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world. This will mean good things for our future, our childrens future and our grandchildrens future.7. We know from the passage that sustainable development _.A. means to develop slowly B. can bring little good to the peopleC. has ended the environmental destruction D. is an idea being discussed8. It is important to preserve the natural resources because they _. A. consume the energy for important things B. are running out C. provide the energy for people to use D. are being produced at a high rate9. Hydroelectricity means _. A. using the sun to provide electricity B. using wind power to produce electricity C. using water power to produce electricity D. using water to protect the environment10. What is the authors attitude toward sustainable development? A. Critical. B. Positive.C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. 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。 Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment. Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 11 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywoods Oscars, turn 50 years old. The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of edy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 12 Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 13 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience dont mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all. 14 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they cant just run away. They must win over their parents. Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 15 They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where its still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.A. Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.B. There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.C. Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.D. Bollywood films are mostly ic romances with light-hearted incidental music.E.Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.F. The result is a fun-filled musical.G. So if youre tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the following Bollywood films.第二部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。A Gift of ChangeFor years I was unhappy with most of the gifts I received for my birthday, Christmas or other occasions.

As you know, there has been an activity of “Construction of an energy-saving society” in our school recently. I think it is of vital importance because our society is facing the increasing danger of lack of energy. In our daily life, we shouldnt waste any food or paper. It is also advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags. Besides, I think the government should make it a rule that those used textbooks should not be thrown away when we graduate from school, because most of them are in good condition and can be recycled. Actually, there are quite a lot that we can easily do: for example, try to take buses or bicycles instead of driving cars, etc. All of these will definitely help to construct an energy-saving society. Yours, Li Hua
