xx-2019学年高二英语下学期第五周周考试题1、 阅读理解（每题2分）A I was never very neat,while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, Thanks.Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.1.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldnt find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the authors shoes beneath her bed.2.The author tidied up the room most probably because _.A.she was scared by Kates angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so3.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.4.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend KateB.Hard Work Pays OffC.How to Be OrganizedD.Learning to Be RoommatesBMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theaters 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the buildings end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to pete. He added that the theaters location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.” Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping plex on the land where the theater is located.

After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office. In the teachers office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions, “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的) ? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it cant be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet? He was angry: “Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English? Dont you speak English at home?” “No, I didnt speak English at home,” I replied. I was sure my son would leam English in a couple of months, and I didnt want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who e to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?” Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”. Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left. As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的) . Speaking more than one language allows people to municate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other placessomething very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.9.The teacher asked the author to meet him at his office .A.to discuss Scolas in-class performanceB.to get Scola enrolled in kindergartenC.to find a language partner for ScolaD.to work out a study plan for Scola10.What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.BreakingB.Following.C.Attending.D.Disturbing.11.The authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as_ .A.criticalB.casualC.positiveD.passive12.This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A.medicineB.educationC.geographyD.historyD American government suggests that children and teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But less than half of the children and just 10% of the teens meet these suggestions. Whats the deal. Its reported that about 44 million US kids participate in organized sports (such as baseball, softball and soccer). But a new study says just one-quarter of kids get the government-remended amount of exercise when they show up for team practices. The study, published online last month in a medical journals says younger kids and boys do better than teens and girls. The study looked at 200 kids aged 7 to 14 who played on soccer, baseball and softball teams.The kids wore sensors to measure their activity during practices. During each practice, kids averaged 30 minutes of downtime (停工期).“ It is not clear how much physical activity is provided by youth sports practices, say the California-based authors of the study. “Much of the time may be inactive, such as receiving verbal instructions and waiting for turns.”Whats a parent or coach or kid to do? The authors of the study suggest increasing the number of practices, extending the time of practices and changing it up(加快) during practices. For example, the coach could give each player a ball at the same time.Rather than focusing on one players skills, its best to get the whole team moving.But, the study says, the bottom line is that team sports arent enough exercise. For a child to meet the US physical activity suggestions, the kid will have to do more than just join a team. Exercise is also necessary during breaks, during physical education class, after school and even on the way to school.13. According to the text,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Only 10% of the teens cant meet the suggestions about physical activity.B.About 11 million US kids can get enough amount of exercise in team practices.C.The new study was published on a famous magazine last month.D.Teens do better than girls and younger kids in the new study.14.The underlined word “extending” in Paragraph 5 means _.A.giving support or confidenceB.being smaller or fewerC.making something longer or largerD.causing to move or go quickly15.The passage is probably written for _.A.physical teachers and parentsB.doctors and nursesC.class advisers and researchersD.kids and headmasters16.Whats the best title of the passage?A.Necessary for Kids to ExerciseB.Kids for Fun?C.How to Keep FitD.Not Enough Exercise?
