盘锦市育才学校 2020—2021 学年高二下学期期初测试 英语试题 (满分 120 分 建议时间 120 分钟) 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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Seda Hotels Details Seda Hotels, named "Philippines' Leading Hotel Group" by the UK-based World Travel Awards, offer good service, exceptional value and exciting destinations. Although filled with modern equipment, Seda takes pride in its philosophy, "home of Filipino hospitality(热情好客)”, where the best of tradition is applied to a modem-day setting. Seda is the first Asian hotel brand to be named a Certified Gold Service Property by the American Hotels and Lodging Educational Institute, signifying(表明)its following international standards of service. Seda is the Filipino word for “silk”,which perfectly represents its commitment to providing a wonderful hotel experience. It is fully-owned and operated by AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts Corporation(AHRC). Website http://www. sedahotels. com Services Accommodations, meeting rooms, a business center, a lap pool and a gym, in-room dining, daily housekeeping, laundry and dry-cleaning, transportation service and a roof deck bar.

A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people. The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形 成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 24. What can we learn about Jessica Watson? A. She was criticized by the government. B. She eventually canceled her voyage. C. She made a successful voyage. D. She has traveled around the world. 25. What can be inferred about teenagers from the text? A. They have similar abilities. B. They need supports of responsible adults. C. They always make wrong judgments. D. They make decisions on their own. 26. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Parents. B. Psychologists. C. Adults. D. Teenagers. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens B. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals C. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers D. Various Ways to Become Independent C Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface. The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year. Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵 母 ) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread. “The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.” The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation(发酵)and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them. This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space. If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can. All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March. Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different environments. 28. How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ? A. Casual. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Confident. 29. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. Adding yeast on Earth. B. Fermentation and carbonation. C. The preparation work on Earth. D. The mixing of two stages. 30. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage? A. It’s quite competitive compared with other designs. B. It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus. C. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener. D. It has been designed based on similar experiments. 31. What does the author think of the students’ idea? A. It’s meaningful and hopeful. B. It’s extremely complicated. C. It’s creative but impractical. D. It seems like a pipe dream. D Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries—in both the West and the East. Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus—obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel. Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again. 32. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disappear very slowly. B. Disappear mysteriously. C. Change suddenly. D. Change significantly. 33. Which of the following places is named after a person? A. Selector Airbase. B. Raffles Place. C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent. 34. Bras Basah Road is named _____. A. after a person B. after a place C. by its shape D. after an activity 35. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____. A. a ceremony will be held when a place is named B. people prefer the place names given by the government C. the government is usually the first to name a place D. many places tend to have more than one name 第二节 七选五(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 currently job searching?

This movement is growing in 58 (popular) around the world, especially in cities and towns where lawns ( 草 地 ) covers most areas.

The man was named Frederic Callison,52 and a former cook.He came to Sacramento two years ago from Washington in the hope of getting a job as a cook.His plans were stopped and he ended up in this unexpected way ever since.Smart&Final allowed him to stay near the store,as he helped them to push carts for free. But he would not like to ask for money like most of the homeless people.Instead,he decided to use the place as an active job-hunting to change his difficult circumstances.So he made the sign.This was not just words,as his Social Security number and ID were also kept handy.All the documents showed his serious intentions to find work. Martin was amazed by such preparations and asked the man for his resumes.Without hesitation,Callison handed one to him.The resume,which was well-written and had a striking resume headline,claimed that he was a fine cook.Then he began telling Martin about his qualification and work experiences.It was like a real interview,but not so intense and strict. Martin was impressed and inspired by Callison's will and efforts to work.He totally understood the situation of Callison.Efforts and determination of Callison were worth respect,as it was really a difficult goal. Paragraph 1: Michael Martin decided to do what he could to help the homeless man. ____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ __________ Paragraph 2: Frederic was really grateful for such an opportunity. ___________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
