Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones.Sports 1 : BasketballWe expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.Sports 2: GymWe will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Ten activities, skipping, baseball, dive, shoot, badminton, bowling, boxing, cycling, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.Sports 3: HikingHiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost $75/hr. Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.Sports 4: SwimmingThe Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from ourschool. Four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e.2:45 pm to 3:45 pm).Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.21.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.  A.students taking part in basketball will walk to the courts.  B.every student can gain admission to one of the four sports.  C.hiking students can have a regular rest in the shade of trees.  D.students taking up the four sports should bring bottles of water.22.It can be concluded that__________.  A.each sport will take only one hour.  B.students will be charged for the four sports.  C.all the sports will take place at Kowloon Peak.  D.teachers will accompany students on each sport.23.The purpose of the memo is to ________.  A.attract students’ interest in the programme.  B.require the parents to select a sport for their child.  C.help the staff explain the programme to the parents.  D.remind teachers and lifeguards to be present on time.BA HOLIDAY jet pilot said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman. But his reply was even ruder.“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbors’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.（a）Maureen said, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess(空姐)asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.（b） “I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter.” She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free(免税)cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”（c） Mr. Ferriday went on: “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my planes.”Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’s no smoking policy.（d） “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen.“He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.The second half of the story has been in wrong order.（Parts a-d） Choose the rearranged order which you think is right.  A.c, a, d, b B.c, a, b, d C.a, c, b, d D.d, a, b, c25.Maureen Harkavy ______ on the plane.  A.accepted the warning             B.agreed to the warning  C.refused to do what she was told to  D.was so shocked that she wrote to the airline’s chairman26.In the answer letter to Maureen Harkavy, the airline’s chairman ____ .  A.made an apology to her for his worker’s rudeness  B.actually completely agreed with what the pilot said   C.said that she had the right to smoke on his plane   D.made sure that he would solve the problem27.The passage is mainly to _______.  A.praise the pilot  B.criticize the woman  C.support the company  D.tell a storyCWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it." Simard says sadly."Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees_______.  A.compete for survival      B.protect their own wealth  C.depend on each other      D.provide support for dying trees29."Mother trees" are extremely important because they_______.  A.look the largest in size in the forest     B.know more about the complex "tree societies"  C.seem more likely to be cut down by humans   D.pass on nutrition to young trees30.The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to________.  A.how "tree societies" work     B.how trees grow old  C.how forestry industry develops    D.how young trees survive31.What would be the best title for the passage?  A.Old Trees Communicate Like Humans    B.Trees Are More Amazing Than You Think  C.Young Trees Are in Need of Protection    D.Trees Contribute to Our Society DA Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women admiring South Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as idols. There is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the popularity for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.Of course, You Who Came From The Star has been the subject of hot online discussion throughout Asia.Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.The success of South Korean TV dramas can be attributed to the joint efforts of the country's government and TV series makers. The three TV stations, SBS, KBS and MBC, control the majority of South Korean TV market, each specializing in a different area and catering to people of different ages. The productions use advanced technologies such as high-speed photography and computer-generated effects, creating a real-life visual impact.In fact, recent years could be said to be the time of rebirth of South Korean TV dramas. Many netizens even said at the time that South Korean TV dramas had become pass because of their stereotyped（陈旧的）themes: traffic accidents, and cancer and other incurable diseases. But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs, which Chinese directors can use as examples, as well as inspiration, to improve their productions.32.The first paragraph mainly tells us that _______________  A.Chinese women show great interest in the South Korean actors.  B.The actors from South Korean are very popular in China .  C.The TV series You Who Came From The Star is on show now.  D.The South Korean TV series gains great popularity across China.33.From the 2nd paragraph , we know that___________  A.the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a best seller  B.You Who Came From The Star is a best seller.  C.the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is very hard to read  D.the hero in You Who Came From The Star has difficulty reading the book.34.What are the reasons for the success of South Korean series?  ①the joint efforts of the government and TV series makers.  ②advanced technologies   ③their stereotyped themes  ④their changing themes and creativity   A.①②③             B.①②④               C.②③④             D.①③④ 35.What do you suppose the writer will continue to write?  A.The stereotyped Korean series.  B.The rebirth of South Korean TV dramas.  C.Some specific suggestions for Chinese TV makers.  D.The brief introduction of the South Korean TV dramas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。How to Bring a Friendship BackWhether from lifestyle adjustment, conflict, or the development of different interests, everyone sees a friendship fade from time to time. Maybe you've come around and want to see an old disagreement solved.  36   Fortunately, there are clear and constructive steps you can take to indicate your interest in reconnecting and begin the process of bringing a friendship back.Take the first step.   37    If you want to reconnect, make yourself available and invite your friend to meet with you. A phone call or an email is quick, easy, and respectful way to convey your interest in speaking or spending time together.   38   The depth of your previous friendship, and the degree to which you've grown apart are important factors when considering how you should approach an old friend. For example, if you simply haven't seen or spoken with someone in a while, reach out casually. A message on an online media platform that you both use may work.Don't worry about how long it's been.Don't feel as though your friendship has ended or become less important. Friendships often change when people get married, move, or have kids. If you're missing an old friend, there's a good chance your friend misses you as well.  39  Be persistent (坚持不懈的), but not over-eager.If your friend doesn't respond, you can try to convey your hopes to reconnect again.  40   Allow time in between contact. If they simply don't respond, accept the fact that they may not be ready or willing to reconnect at present.  A.Don't rush though.  B.Reach out in the right way.  C.Don't wait for your friend to reach out.  D.It is always appropriate to try to reconnect.  E.The more personal approach will indicate your interest in reconnecting.  F.Maybe you simply want to reduce the distance between you and an old friend.  G.Take care not to make them feel as though they are under pressure to respond.  第三部分  英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节  完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）   阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Not too long ago I had a chance to watch a hawk(鹰) teaching her baby birds to fly, through which the baby birds are coaxed(哄) to leave the nest.

Experts from the Children’s Hospital in Boston, US, have said that some teens don’t get enough of this important nutrient.Vitamin D can help bones and muscles grow strong and healthy. If a person is short of vitamin D, he or she may have problems like rickets(佝偻病) and osteoporosis. Rickets is mainly found in children. Osteoporosis, the thinning of bone, is a common problem as people get older.Studies in these years have found that vitamin D may also have other uses. If someone is short of vitamin D, he may have heart problems or die from some cancers.The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight. But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun. Also, even skin color has an influence. Darker skinned people get less vitamin D than lighter skinned people. Older people get less vitamin D than younger people. You can also get it from foods. Some food such as cheese and eggs have some vitamin D. but most of vitamin D in American diet comes from food like milk with the vitamin added.Now more doctors are testing for vitamin D in their patients. But some doctors worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might be bad for their body. At the same time, skin doctors tell people to be careful with sunlight.       高二英语半期考试参考答案第一部分 听力1-5 ABAAA    6-10 CCBCC    11-15 CBCBC     16-20 CACBC第二部分:阅读理解第一节21-23  BDC     24-27  ACBD    28-31  CDAB    32-35 DABC第二节36-40  FCBDA第三部分  英语知识运用第一节41－45：BCCAD       46-50: BCABD      51－55: CDBDD        第二节novelist      57. a       58. where      59. was published      60. its     61. and        62. to give     63. with      64. failed       65.totally第四部分：写作第一节Dear Tom,I’m delighted to know that you are interested in Chinese characters but sorry to learn that you have difficulty in writing them.
