2013年高二上学期期中考试英语试题(带答案)
详细内容
mitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits bees your life purpose.
__3__.These could be panionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
When you make a mitment to live by your being values, it bees easier to make conscious choices rather than reaction ary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.
A.Young people have a different set of values.
B.You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.
C.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.
D.Your being values are the character traits (特征,特点)of the ideal person you would like to be.
E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.
F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.
G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.
2. Why have you been so suessful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly aomplished people are pretty lousy when it es to understanding why they sueed or fail. Th e intuitive answer ― that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others ― is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that suessful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 1
1. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what suess looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.
2. 3
Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.
3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.
Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress ― if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies aordingly.4
It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things suessful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. It's never what you are, but what you do.
Wait for opportunities to appear
Seize the moment to act on your goals
Here are things suessful people do differently
Next I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve suess
You don’t need to bee a different person to bee a more suessful one
Check your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal
Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there

20. People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often aept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error.? 2 ,?when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem.
4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea es quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.
Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

25. We often see wind-horse flags in Tibetan areas. They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures(经文)are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle aident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.
A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.
The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation(默想). Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated(解放的)from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind. Finally, he went straight to heaven.
In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.
We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.
1. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.
A. colors B. styles C. materials D. functions
2. What happened when the monk meditated?
A. He felt very sad about his mistake. B. The scripture was blown into the sky.
C. He was punished by the gods. D. Many wind-house flags were flying.
3. Aording to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.
A. a historical event B. an ancient custom
C. a religious tale D. a vehicle aident
4. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?
A. The wind-house flags are safer there.
B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.
C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.
D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.
26. Researchers have identified an area in the brain that alerts us in less than a second to an uping mistake so we don’t repeat it.
Scientists have long known that mistakes are conducive to learning, suggesting the reason lies in our feeling of surprise which happens as soon as we find out we are wrong. But how the brain manages to learn from mistakes and how quickly it does so have been unknown.
“It’s a bit of a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that we learn more from our mistakes than our suesses,” said lead author of the study Andy Wills, a psychologist at the University of Exeter, “but for the first time we’ve found just how quickly the brain works to help us avoid repeating errors.”
The scientists monitored the brain activity of a group of volunteers as they made predictions based on information read on a puter screen. Then, they were given new information that made many of the predictions incorrect. The participants had to learn from the mistake in order to recognize the error next time around.
The researchers measured activity in the lower region of the brain, near the temples(太阳穴), which is responsible for processing visual information. “By monitoring activity in the brain as it ours, we were able to identify the moment at which this mechanism es into action,” Wills said. Activity increased immediately after the individual saw the new information appear on the puter screen ― within 0.1 seconds ― before there was time for any conscious consideration.
Most previous research had focused on the brain’s frontal lobes (额叶), which are associated with plex thought processes, such as planning and conscious decision-making. This study, announced recently and published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, indicates the brain reacts to mistakes before information even gets processed consciously. The scientists call it an “early warning signal” from a lower region of the brain.
1. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Brain can quickly warn us of potential errors.
B. Brain manages information in different ways.
C. Study has found why people make mistakes.
D. Study has proved any mistake can be avoided.
2. The underlined word “conducive” in Para. 2 probably means “______”.
A. necessary B. helpful C. particular D. harmful
3. Aording to the text, the frontal lobes ______.
A. prevent us from making repeated mistakes
B. oversee thought processes in the brain
C. have nothing to do with making mistakes
D. have something to do with processing conscious information
4. It can be inferred from the text that one key to the study is ______.
A. the volunteers’ brain is in good health
B. the mistake first impresses the volunteers
C. many of the volunteers predict wrongly
D. information is showed on a puter screen
5. Which of the following is NOT true, aording to the text?
A. We have known how quickly our brains work to help us avoid repeating mistakes.
B. It’s well known that mistakes benefit us more than suesses do.
C. Mistakes are always recognized before conscious consideration.
D. A lower region of the brain is the reporter of possible mistakes.
27. The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China. In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁).
Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as “boats_on_land” for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.
In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities.

参考答案
7.【答案】D
【解析】考查倒装句。以“so + 形容词”开头的句子要用部分倒装,可排除A、C; 由 determined 可知用一般过去时。
8.【答案】C
【解析】C考查倒装句及时态
9.【答案】D
【解析】此题考查的是倒装句,only + 状语放在句首使用部分倒装,助动词往前提,因此选D 。
10.【答案】D
【解析】这题考查as引导倒装句,做让步状语从句的用法:结构是:adj./adv..v./n.+as/though+主谓,所以选D,句意是:虽然考试成绩很重要但不是关乎幸福的唯一因素。
11.【答案】C
【解析】考查倒装句。So adj/sdv 放在句首,后面使用部分倒装句。排除ABD
12.【答案】A
【解析】考查状语从句的省略。当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致的时候,可以把状语从句的主语和系动词一起省略,本题if的后面省略了they are.句意:如果没有被小心处理,小小的船很容易就会翻掉。故A正确。

1.C 我走到过道里去伸伸腿。stretch one’s legs:伸伸腿 ,引申为放松一下。

5.A 从下文可知:我原来的邻居是个爱唠叨的人。
6.C 他一开始和你讲话,你就要花上几个小时才能把他甩开。get away from:走开,躲开。
7.C 他搬走,我根本不觉得遗憾。

9.A 由上文可知,这时我的假期就要开始了。

20.【答案】CDCAD BDADB DCBAC ABDAC
【解析】1. 从上文的提示“try to remember a solution from the last time”,表明人们一旦遇上类似的问题,首先想到的是上次碰到这类问题的解决办法。只有问题“类似”,才会想到“上一次”的办法。
2.下文用however表示转折,表明作者观点:有时靠老办法往往不灵,于是人们便开始分析问题,寻找新的解决途径。
3. 从下文的列举看,作者讲的是解决问题的六个阶段,且层层深入(stage:a period in a course of events),而不是在阐述解决问题的六个办法、条件、顺序。
4. 下文next,finally等表明作者在列举分析问题、解决问题的几个步骤,故填first(首先),与下文呼应。
5. 作为分析的第一步,Sam必须查看自行车的毛病出在哪儿。see在此的含义是:examine or recognize by looking。
6. determine在这里意为“断定、确定”的意思,因为只有断定哪个部分有问题,才会找到针对性的解决办法。
7. 下文he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,talked to his friends at the bike shop,表明Sam是在查找有关自行车修理的资料和信息。
8.A 此时的解决方案尚未确定,故只能是possible solutions,下文a possible solution有暗示。
9. at this time表示Sam断定车闸出了毛病的同时即查找修理车闸的资料。
10. 此处用talk to表明Sam与自行车店的朋友通过交谈了解修理自行车车闸的有关资料、信息。
11. 上文Sam所做的一切均属于studying(学习、研究)的行为。
12.下文所举的tighten or loosen the brakes;buy new brakes and change the old ones表明此处应填several。
13. 作者再次以Sam修自行车为例,说明确定问题所在之后如何解决问题,有一些意见、建议可供选择。
14.上文表明有一些建议可供选择,但最终导致解决问题似乎只有其中的一条。
15. 从下文举例看,有时导致解决问题最后的主意纯属意外。
16. 上文提到Sam解决自行车车闸问题有几条建议可供选择:拧紧或放松车闸,买新车闸,更换旧车闸,这时Sam突然发现车闸不灵的原因是一块口香糖将车闸粘住了,最终导致解决问题的办法便是意料之外了。
17.车闸问题的意外发现使Sam立即采取了完全不同的解决办法(既非拧紧或放松车闸,亦非更换车闸)。
18. 发现了问题的症结所在,解决问题便当机立断,毫不迟疑。
19. 既然口香糖粘住了车闸,只需清洗干净就可解决问题。
20. Sam的解决办法经过“检验(test)”获得了成功,他的问题解决了。

Post-90’s generation, a suessful or an unsuessful generation?
It’s true that the post-90’s generation have some weaknesses.Some of them, for example, rely on their parents too much and tend to live fortable lives.Some are even selfish and care little for others.
At the same time, the post-90’s generation desire to learn more about the world around them, and they are independent in thinking.They always keep up with modern science and technology and have many new ideas.
I think the post-90’s generation should carry forward their strong points and overe the weaknesses, and try to tell the world that they are a hopeful generation.
