2019-2020年高中英语 Unit2 he United Kingdom测试题第一部分 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）ABeing a doctor was the aim of my life. I chose science in high school. It was far away from my home city and traveling alone every day wasnt considered possible. It was not in my fate to be a doctor, so the second choice I considered was to bee a teacher. I always loved helping my younger brother and sister with their studies which in turn helped me in mine. The love and care provided by my teachers and the support of my parents made me what I am today. It has been 24 years, but each day is as new and fresh as the first. Each day has so many memories. Students look so lovely when they share their problems with me whether they are about studies or about home. I learned a lot in the process of solving their problems. I always wanted my students to feel fortable with me, take me as one of them and not treat me like a stranger. I gave my students what they needed and did not force them to do anything. Meeting with old students makes me feel alive. The brightness in their eyes gives me happiness and it keeps me going. Teaching has given me pleasure and satisfaction.Life should be all about gaining and giving away knowledge. Parents should particularly pay attention to their children exploring their hidden talents.

Neighbors had noticed a white truck and trailer (拖车) at the home over the weekend and the replacement (取代) of green grass with dark brown soil but thought nothing of it, thinking it was a routine (日常的) landscaping job.Thompson stayed home from work on Monday, talking to her puzzled insurance pany about a $10,000 problem, and hoping that someone realized their mistake. When that didnt happen, she turned to the news media. By late Tuesday, The Journals story had bee widespread, with 130,000 web hits and links from The Drudge Report and The New Yorker websites.Thompsons patience brought good results minutes after the story first appeared. The landscaper hadnt seen the news, but came to her house at 7:30 pm on Monday to drop off a business card and a note.“He was really apologetic about it,” Thompson said. “Im not happy about it of course, but I am OK that he came forward finally and did apologize for it and is willing to fix it.”Patrick Kukanu, owner of Kupak Landscapes Ltd., said it was a mistake. “Our BobCat guy was supposed to be three blocks down,” Kukanu said. “He had the wrong address.”When the pany realized what had happened on Saturday, Kukanu said several attempts were made to contact the homeowner or neighbors.

DHeres an easy choice: would you rather spend 4 minutes chatting to a good friend or to a plete stranger?Its safe to say most of us would choose our friend. With friends we can “be ourselves”, which means expressing our feelings freely. The problem with strangers is that we have to make much effort: psychologists (心理学家) call it “impression management”. We control our behavior more tightly and our impression management starts being very active. But according to recent research, there are hidden benefits to this effort and a lesson for all of us about how we should treat those we know well.The researchers had participants (参与者) predict how pleasurable it would be to chat with their friends and a plete stranger.They then had a quick chat and rated how good they felt afterwards. What they found was that people enjoyed talking to their friends less than they predicted. On the other hand, they had more fun talking to a stranger than they had predicted.So whats going on here? How can people be having more fun than they imagine talking to plete strangers and less with the person they are in a long-term relationship with?What the researchers found was that it es down to whether or not youre making an effort. Sometimes when we talk to our friends we dont make much effort to entertain them or to present ourselves in the best light. But we do tend to make much effort with strangers.In a follow-up study the researchers told participants to make an effort with their friends and then their enjoyment of the social munication improved in line with their predictions. This suggests that we can all have more fun with our friends if we make an effort.12. When we talk with strangers, we tend to .A. hide our feelingsB. control our behaviorC. express our feelings freely D. judge their first impression of us 13. What did the researchers find?A. It was hard to talk with strangers. B. Most people liked to talk with friends. C. People had more fun talking with strangers. D. Most people preferred to talk with strangers.14. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Our friends are easier to entertain. B. We dont have much fun talking with friends.C. We need make much effort talking with strangers.D. We can have more fun with our friends through our effort. 15. The main purpose of the text is to let us learn about .A. how to municate with strangers B. the benefits of talking to strangersC. the way we should treat our friends D. how to improve our munication skills 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。 Basketball is so popular that almost every country in Asia, Europe and America plays the sport. 16 I have seen people playing indoors and outdoors so many times, but it is mostly played outdoors along the streets. I will list some of the top reasons why people love to play basketball.Basketball is affordable (支付得起的). All you need is a ball and a basketball court. 17 You can have different choices when it es to the prices. On the other hand, finding a basketball court is not a problem either.
