第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)

第一节(共10小题;每小题3分,满分30分)

A

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about new stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

21.According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?

A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.

B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.

C. They watch TV or read newspapers.

D. They listen to the radio every day.

22. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that________.

A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper

B. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper

C. people can read news stories in other countries

D. people can read news stories about their own country

23. According to the passage, which of the following can you mostly possibly watch on TV?

A. You often play football with your friends after school.

B. Your teacher has got a cold.

C. A tiger in the city zoo run out and. hasn't been caught.

D. The bike in front of your house is lost.

B

Japan has made a lot of noise in recent years about removing the traditional view that women should stay at home while men go out to work. So it was shocking when, on August 7th, Tokyo Medical University (TMU), a distinguished medical school, admitted marking down the test scores of female applicants to keep the ratio of women in each class below 30%.

Their defence was that women are more likely to drop out to marry and have children. To judge female applicants to medical school purely on their academic performance would leave Japan with a shortage of doctors, they said. The admission has caused outrage.

“Doctoring has long been a male field. But it is not the only one. Discrimination is common in banks and trading firms, where stamina (耐力) and loyalty, qualities somehow associated with men, are prized,” says Mari Miura, a political scientist at Sophia University. All this embarrasses a government that has promised to make women “shine”. The policy seems based on the need for more workers rather than on genuine concern for women.

Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, says he wants to bring millions more women into the workforce to make up for a labour shortfall caused by its ageing and declining population. In the field of politics, the record under Mr. Abe’s premiership (首相任期) is disappointing. Just two members of his 20-strong cabinet are women, including Seiko Noda, in charge of women’s rights. Ms. Noda, who makes little secret of her ambition to beat Mr. Abe in a leadership contest next month, has just published a book called Grab the Future, her public declaration for pulling Japan into line with “global standards”. She has almost no chance of winning.

24. According to the passage, what has aroused the public’s shock and rage in Japan?

A. Women being more likely to drop out of school to marry and have children.

B. TMU judging female applicants to medical school merely on their test score.

C. TMU putting a lower grade on female applicants to keep a low percentage of women in each class.

D. Japan tending to abandon the traditional view that women should stay at home while men go out to work.

25. What do we know about Seiko Noda?

A. She is quite likely to win the leadership contest.

B. She never fails to show her ambition in public.

C. She is the only female member in Abe’s cabinet.

D. Her newly released book Grab the Future is a bit hit.

26. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Doctoring has long been a male field in Japan.

B. Professions like banking and trading are tailored to men.

C. Shinzo Abe performed poorly in dealing with labour shortfall.

D. Discrimination against women in careers in Japan is a big concern.

C

In June, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added about 1,000 words and new definitions to its website. The changes are to help users understand a mix of terms, some dating back many centuries. The additions include words such as “brencheese” “deathshildy” and “hip-pop”.

The new entries are part of the company’s update to https://www.sodocs.net/doc/2a16758817.html,, its searchable online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year. But the latest print version has been in process since the year 2000, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company's dictionary operations in the United States.

“Usually, the OED watches usage of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to an existing entry,” she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not followed. That is what happened with “tweet”, a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark. Other times, the company adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past.

“It's funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already obsolete. It’s just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press.

“That is the reality,” she said, of a historical dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855000 entries. So, you get “brencheese”, a rarely used term for when bread and cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is guilty of a serious crime and condemned to death.

The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that combines parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It noted that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U.S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C. Hammer.

The website has added several other terms related to modern culture. They include three popular terms: “binge-watching,” “spoiler alert” and “microaggression”.

Here are a few other new entries if you long to read on.

27. What has OED done recently?

A. It has made changes to its words’ explanation.

B. It has sorted out some words which are out of date.

C. It has helped users to have more convenient use of OE

D.

D. It has taken in more words and new meanings of some words.

28. The underlined word obsolete in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. deserted

B. updated

C. changed

D. explained

29. What will the paragraph following the passage most probably be about?

A. The influence cultures have on the words in OED.

B. The difficulties OED has in choosing the words.

C. The effect modern technology has on OE

D.

D. The new vocabularies OED has included.

30. What’s the best title of the text?

A. OED, a Great Help for English Learners

B. A Brand New Version of OED Website

C. A Better Understanding of Words in OED

D. Examples of OED Choosing Words

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。

Stress occurs when you feel that demands placed on you—such as work, school or relationships—are beyond your ability. 31However, untreated long-term stress can result in serious health conditions including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. 32 Everyone is different, and so are the ways they choose to manage their stress. Some people prefer pursuing hobbies such as gardening, playing music and creating art, while others find relief in more solitary (独自的) activities: meditation, yoga and walking. 33

Do some exercise. Exercise benefits your mind just as well as your body. We keep hearing about the long-term benefits of a regular exercise routine. But even a 20-minute walk, run, swim or dance session in the midst of a stressful time can give an immediate effect that can last for several hours.

34 It may seem difficult to get away from a big work project, a crying baby or a growing credit card bill. But when you give yourself permission to step away from it, you let yourself have time to do something else, which can help you have a new perspective or practice techniques to feel less overwhelmed. It's important not to avoid your stress (those bills have to be paid sometime), but even just 20 minutes to take care of yourself is helpful.

Smile and laugh. Our brains are interconnected with our emotions and facial expressions. When people are stressed, they often hold a lot of the stress in their face. So laughs or smiles can help relieve some of that tension and improve the situation.

Try meditation. Meditation and mindful prayer help the mind and body to relax and focus. Mindfulness can help people see new perspectives, develop self-compassion and forgiveness.

35Much like exercise, research has shown that even meditating briefly can bring immediate benefits.

Earthquake safety is very important and there is more to it than just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes. First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house. Make sure the building has no broken windows and is well repaired. Second, look at the objects in your house. Those in the living room, which are the most likely to hurt us, are computers, televisions and lamps. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t easily move around.

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.

As theboat moved over the waves, I thought back eleven years to my first island visitvia a cruise ship. As we landed, I noticed a sign advertising swimming withdolphins. I looked at my mother; she knew exactly what I wanted, but I was tooyoung. “Maybe some other time,” she said. I think everyone knows thatthose four words usually translate to never. It made me, a little boy,depressed for many days. From that day on, it was my dream to swim with thosegentle creatures. Now,after 15 minutes of travelling, we reached the Sanctuary Bay. As we arrived, I sawthe gray creatures showing off their unique talent before my eyes. We were ledoff the boat, past a back building. Our guide told us we would have the pleasureof spending the next 90 minutes with Kaholo, a young male, and Robola, thelargest female, who is quite famous for having played the lead in the film Zeusand Roxanne. Myfather and I were joined by four others and followed the man once more. He toldus to jump into the water while he let the dolphins into that part of the bay.For the first 20 minutes, we could go anywhere and touch the dolphins as theyswam by.
