内蒙古锦山蒙古族中学2021-2022学年高二下学期开学考试英语试卷

（ 满分：150分   时间：120分钟  ）

第一部分：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。

A

      Imagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!
      The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.
      His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie's jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.
      The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.
      Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).
      The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!
      Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!   

21. The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.       

A、coach     

B、teammate    

C、challenger      

D、record holder

22. What can we learn about the spittlebug?       

A、It likes living on the ceiling.           

B、It is good at flying in the air.
C、It is the same length as a pencil.        

D、It has a wonderful jumping talent.

23. In the author's opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug's jumping abilities are ________.       

A、surprising    

B、promising     

C、doubtful      

D、fearful

24. How does the author develop the text?       

A、By giving instructions.              

B、By making comparisons.
C、By following the order of time.        

D、By following the order of importance.

B

      Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.
      So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don't we use them for collecting energy?
      The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
      The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
      Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
      We just can't wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.   

25. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.       

A、argument     

B、comment     

C、explanation    

D、background

26. When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?       

A、Guide them to a safer place.          

B、Remind drivers to drive slowly.
C、Frighten them away from the road.     

D、Advise drivers to choose another way.

27. From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can ________.       

A、provide heat for drivers in winter    

B、guide drivers who get lost on the highway
C、melt snow and ice soon in winter    

D、help drivers see the road clearly in the sun

28. What is the text mainly about?       

A、Functions of the road in the future.        

B、Development of solar energy.
C、Free energy on the road.                 

D、Solar road of the future.

C

One Canada, Two Languages

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these — Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the British Empire (帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland(中心地带)of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law，have labels(标签)and instructions in both languages.

In Canada’s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.

If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园)or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. However, if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

29. Which country controlled Canada before its independence?

A. France.      

B. Britain.      

C. America.      

D. Germany.

30. Where can you watch French television programs?

A. Only in Quebec.           

B. In Quebec and a few other places.

C. From the two national television networks. 

D. All over Canada.

31. What does the underlined word “bilingualism” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A. 外语教育   

B. 母语教育   

C. 双语教育   

D. 语言教育

32. What do we know about the education in Canada?

A. In English-speaking provinces only English courses are offered.

B. If you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects will be taught in French.

C. The courses in primary schools are all taught in English.

D. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.

Dear Peter,

I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.

Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.

Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese characters more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.

Try and write to me in Chinese next time.

Best wishes!

Yours,
