Now it is time to go out to explore foreign lands and experience the different beaches that the world has to offer.

Anse Sourced’ Argent, Seychelles--With beautiful pale pink sand, clear blue waters, and rock formations that have been shaped by waves and time, this beach’s beauty is enough to land itself on the cover of a travel magazine. And it is one of the most photographed baeches in the world. And don’t worry about any waves as the shores and shallow waters are protected by a nearby reef(礁).

Maldives--Maldives is an island nation off the coast of Sri Lanka and one of the lowest nations of the world, Enjoy the soft sandy beaches, coconut-bearing palm trees, and a diverse sea life that surrounds you. But due to coral dying and rising sea levels, Maldives is expected to sink within the next 10 years.

Freedom Beach, Thailand--Privacy(隐私) isn’t always so easy to find at a beach, but Freedom Beach in Thailand provides a much less crowded, more relaxing location to spend your time. With swimming, snorkeling(浮潜), and beach-side refreshments(点心,茶点), you are able to have the vacation that you deserve! Its neighboring beach, Patong, can get a little crowded and a bit crazy with the large number of tourists present, so escape via water taxi to enjoy yourself and a much cleaner shore.

Matira Beach, Bara Bora--The island's economy is driven by tourism, so you know that all of the locals want you to have a great time and come back soon with all of your friends. With a beach like Matira, that sounds like a great idea! You may recognize the island from Couples Retreat. Remember all of the over-the-water bungalows(平房) that were in the movie?

Ten-year-old Lena Draper decided to reach out to the Marion Police Department on Facebook after getting stuck on the maths questions. Instead of ignoring her request, Ohio officer Lieutenant B. J. Gruber did his best to lend a hand.

Lena informed the policeman that she was stuck on the problem(8+29)×15. He quickly responded: ”Do the numbers in the parentheses(括号) first so in fact it would be 37×15.”

After settling the first question, Lieutenant Gruber was given a more difficult task. Lena asked him for the answer to (90+27)+(29+15)×2. The confident officer responded with what he believed to be the correct answer, advising: ”Take the answer from the first parentheses plus the answer from the second parentheses and multiply that answer by two. Work left to right doing the work in parentheses first.”

But embarrassingly, Facebook users were quick to notice that his maths solving didn’t quite add up. To solve the problem, you must actually add the numbers in the second parentheses and multiply the answer by two, before adding the numbers in the first set of brackets.

Lena’s mum Molly said, ”I didn’t believe her at first. I thought it was pretty funny. I was happy, but not surprised that they responded so quickly. They are wonderful with their communication with the community.”

After Lieutenant Gruber was told about the mistake, he joked: “Hoping it is truly the thought that counts since obviously I can’t! Especially since the answer was wrong, it was very nice for Molly to recognize our attempt to help her daughter with some maths homework.”

It’s not the first time that adults have been left feeling trapped by a maths assignment aimed at kids.

5.What is the text mainly about?

A. A new job is added to the police

B. A new approach to maths problem-solving

C. The Marion Police Department’s Facebook page

D. A policeman helps a girl with her maths problems

6.According to the policeman, the result of the second problem is .

A. 205

B. 322

C. 456

D. 555

7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Some adults are too stupid to help kids with their homework

B. Some homework for children is not as easy as it appears

C. It is stupid for Lieutenant Gruber to make the mistake

D. Kids often ask the police to help them with their homework

C

When I graduated from college I dreamed of being a television news reporter. Having no experience, I had to work in a small town until I finally got my big break in the from of a job in Boston. I made it.

Soon, reality set in. I was too often sent to run after accused criminals out of courts, waiting outside of crime scene tape or at the doorstep of a family still crying for tragedy(悲剧). My breaking point came the day I accidentally informed a young woman that her mother died. It was the worst day of my professional life and the day I decided I no longer wanted to shine a light on these stories. My career was ebbing, and at the same time my personal life was too--I divorced.

My mom had always told me “When you’re feeling extremely upset, go help someone else.”So I started seeking out stories of people who had been in the news under tragic circumstances but were doing something inspiring with their lives: a young girl who was paralyzed(瘫痪的) by an accident but was uplifting her classmates with her positive spirit, a blind and autistic(自闭的) musician who learned to play 27 instruments, a disabled soldier who opened his own art studio. I started to tell and promote stories like them.

Over the last 10 years I have discovered my kindness gift: my ability to see the beautiful side of a person and reflect it back to them and the world. In telling stories of people turning their own hurt into acts of helping others I have become more sympathetic, more grateful and kinder. I have learned kindness is who we are, that our power for it is limitless and that, as we shine a light on it, it grows.

8.What changed the author’s working direction in his job in Boston?

A. The tragedy in the society

B. The low payment of the job

C. The hurt from his divorce

D. The fear of cruel criminals

9.What is the meaning of the underlined word “ebbing” in Paragraph 2?

A. Taking off

B. Getting into trouble

C. Unchangeable at all

D. Dull but important

10.What the author’s mother said means .

A. helping others is a way to escape from reality

B. helping others can comfort your soul

C. the best way of helping others is telling stories

D. it is difficult to make contributions to helping others

11.According to the last paragraph, what does the author advise us to do?

A. To tell inspiring stories

B. To fight against criminals

C. To ignore our own hurt

D. To do as much kindness as possible

D

If you’re wondering when you might get the flu, a new study indicates you should keep an eye on your local weather report.

According to a research published in the Journal of Clinical Virology, if you keep your eye on the weather and watch for the first major dip in the temperature, you can essentially mark your calendar in prediction for an outbreak the flu.

To figure out how the weather and flu outbreak may be connected, researchers analyzed statistics of 20,000 people in an area over three seasons. The number of people who caught the flu was then compared with local weather data.

After each season, the team noticed one consistent finding: The first really cold period with low outdoor

高二英语 出题：李红勤李星玲校对：高二外语组（2016.12） I. 阅读理解(共30分) 第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, a dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the legal owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the legal owner and an old man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week. The old man sat down, made himself at home, and gifted us the dog. After a brief visit, he left, and we were now the proud owners of this dog. It takes experience and knowledge to know that our lifestyle can’t satisfy the needs of this dog; the owner that gifted us the dog was mismatched for him as well. Three attempts to return the dog to his old owner failed. (I think he was avoiding us.) Because our lifestyle didn’t allow us to give this poor dog the attention he needed, he disturbed the neighbors. They got involved. After we shared the story, they gained a new perspective and wisely stepped in to help us find a solution. One week later it was decided that dog would be picked up from us by the old neighbor. He would then return it to the previous owner who was more equipped to care for it. When faced with unexpected challenges in life, it helps to see everyo ne’s perspective. We have to look at one another’s perspective to solve a problem with honesty, experience and knowledge. That’s the sign of a leader. Although the old neighbor typically has little to do with leadership, it did bring a neighborhood together to understand one another and work as a team to solve a problem. 1. Why was the dog taken to the author’s home? A. To find food to eat. B. To seek a proper owner. C. The author was friendly to him. D. The old man couldn’t feed him. 2. What did the author find after he was gifted with the dog?

荥阳高中2017-1018学年上学期实验班 阶段性测试（四）高二英语 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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A “I am not an American,” mark twain (1835-1910) once said, “I am the American.” He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’ Neill called him “the father of American literature”. Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read the adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined. The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure. More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of religion and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the ha rder it is to get rid of it,” he writes in one chapter. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly. For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines… We have gone there to conquer.” He also believed strongly in wo men’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.

Lorna, 16, rushed across and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the front door. They looked upstairs where they saw smoke coming out of the top flat. Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, lost consciousness in the smoke-blackened sitting room. Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety. Suddenly Mane started crying, “My baby, my baby!” “Where’s the baby?” asked Lorna. “In the bedroom,” Mane shouted back.

Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke. “It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna. “I was just thinking of the baby. Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened.” When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to hospital for treatment. It was only when Lorna got back into the saf ety of her own house that she realized the danger she had faced. “I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me,” she said. 1.
