鹤岗一中2020—2021学年度高二下学期期末考试试题英  语  时间： 100分钟     满分：120分第一部分  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和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AUnsolved Mysteries about the Planet EarthMystery 1: Where did water come from?Water covers more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and that makes the Earth earn the nickname “the blue planet”. Then where did water come from? The most popular scientific theory states that the H2O came from several violent asteroids(小行星) covered with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since the Earth’s formation. However it happened, though, it’s certainly worked out well for the Earth life forms.Mystery 2: What about all the oxygen?Another thing is the planet’s oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it. After that, the level of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it’s remained at about the breathable level we know today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady?Mystery 3: What caused the Cambrian(寒武纪）Explosion?The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then, life had consisted mostly of microbes. But at the beginning of the Cambrian period complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before. Suddenly, life forms had brains, eyes, and bones. Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.Mystery 4: Will we be able to predict earthquakes?We still haven’t been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes. We can certainly try, but our current technology cannot predict them exactly. We know that earthquakes start when the rock cracks underground and the enormous energy released in the process causes vibration, which generates earthquake waves, but we haven’t figured out why that happens, or how to predict it.1. What was created by creatures on Earth?A. Water.       B. Oxygen.   C. Bacterium.      D. Ice.2. Which of the following talks about the Earth’s advanced species?A. Mystery 1.      B. Mystery 2.  C. Mystery 3.      D. Mystery 4.3. What do we know about Mystery 4?A. It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.B. It will be solved in the near future.C. It is the most difficult mystery to solve of the four.D. It is the oldest mystery of the four.BHave you ever heard about Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Surely, they are all about finding the best deals on holiday gifts for yourself and family members. And have you heard about Giving Tuesday? Here is something about it!Giving Tuesday is observed annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which encourages people to help those in need by making financial donations or doing good in their local community. The “Global Day of Giving” was started in 2012 by New York City nonprofit 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation. Unlike Black Friday, Giving Tuesday serves a more altruistic purpose. In its first year, the movement brought in almost $10 million for charities, and things have only improved since. In 2019, many Giving Tuesday social media campaigns worldwide helped raise an amazing $ 1.9 billion from 27 million donors! Over the past five years, many higher education institutions have also been using the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to ask alumni (毕业生) for donations. In 2019, the University of Michigan, which calls it Blueday, received 5887 gifts totaling over $4 million, while Pennsylvania State University raised $710 000 to benefit over 85 University programs.Though donating money certainly helps, there are many other ways to support the great cause, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can video tutor kids struggling with online learning, or team up with an adult to get groceries or medications for an elderly neighbor. Alternatively, call on your peers (同龄人) to help you with a service project that addresses an issue close to your heart, or pick one from the several ideas suggested on the Giving Tuesday website. You can also donate your gently-used clothes and toys to local shelters, or mail a handwritten note to a grandparent or a friend you miss seeing.What are you going to do to make a positive difference in your community on Giving Tuesday? Let us know by adding your comments below!4. Why does the author mention Black Friday and Cyber Monday in Paragraph 1?A. To make a comparison.    B. To lead to the topic.C. To arouse readers’ interest.   D. To express his doubt.5. What’s the aim of Giving Tuesday?A. To promote the development of economy.B. To attract people to buy more holiday gifts.C. To call on more universities to donate money.D. To encourage people to help those in need.6. What does the underlined word “altruistic” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Selfless.       B. General.  C. Specific.       D. Complex.7. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Where people can offer their kind help. B. What people can do on Giving Tuesday.C. How people can stay safe during COVID-19. D. Why people need to support the great cause.CFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes(音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. When people invite me to a concert, I just say, “No thanks, I’m amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”8. Which of the following is true of amusic?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.9. According to Paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _______.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system10. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics11. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics’ strange behaviours.B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusics.DIn one of the world’s most forbidding environments, Polar bears spend their summers roaming (漫步) the Arctic on large pieces of floating ice. They drift(漂移) for hundreds of miles, finding mates, hunting for seals, and fatting themselves up for the winter. Without the floating ice, the world’s largest bears could not survive. Yet at this moment, the polar bears’ Arctic habitat (栖息地) is melting away under it because of global warming.Over the past three decades, more than a million square miles of floating ice has disappeared. Scientists predict that, if the current rate of global warming continues, most, if not all, of the bears’ floating ice will be gone by 2100. As a result, the world’s polar bears could face global dying out by the end of this century.Already, the ice on the southern edge of the polar bears’ habitat is melting about three weeks earlier than in the past. The loss of those key weeks leaves the bears less time to hunt, eat and store up fat. Once the ice melts, the bears must fast for up to eight months on land until the floating ice returns. As a result of early melting, there has been a 14 percent decline in the Hudson Bay polar bear population over the past ten years—a fall clearly caused by global warming.Besides, a growing number of polar bears may be drowning (溺水) as they are forced to swim more often, and for longer distances, looking for ice sheets(冰原). According to a report by the US Minerals Management Service, researchers observed four dead polar bears floating 60 miles off Alaska in September of 2006 and said it was likely that many other bears swimming far off shore also drowned. Scientists have concluded that the worldwide population of about 20,000 polar bears is likely to become smaller by more than 30 percent in the next 35 to 50 years alone.12. What do polar bears usually do in summer?A. Look for relatives.     B. Hunt for food.C. Store crops up.     D. Make friends with seals.13. What disaster will happen to polar bears by the end of this century according to the text?A. Global drowning.     B. Global dying out.C. Global hunger.     D. Global roaming.14. What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?A. The bears will have to stay hungry longer.B. The bears will have to roam faster.C. The bears will have to stay quieter on land.D. The bears will have to face a faster fall of its population.15. Why do polar bears have to swim more often and farther?A. To search for food.    B. To build up bodies to survive.C. To find places to land on.  D.To escape being hunted.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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。有两项为多余选项。How to Quiet a ComplainerTalking to a complainer can stress you out, but with the right tools you can lighten the mood for all.  16   Some complainers will stop if you change the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is caring much about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.   17   Therefore, you can keep using it.Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you prove that you’re listening. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard so far and you know that I’ve got it?” Using “I” statements (“I’ve heard…”) rather than “you” statements shows that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down.   18  Challenge the person to act. When a complainer is always telling you about her latest problem, ask nicely what she’s done to improve it. That isn’t the usual direction that a complaining conversation takes.   19  Be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.   20   You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down—especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.A. Change the subject.B. Continue the subject.C. You don’t need an excuse to stop it.D. Therefore, you can keep complaining it.E. Hard as it may be, avoid saying the word “you”.F. However, this direction may help to shortly end a complaint.G. This method is especially effective on those who are mindlessly expressing.第二部分 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Darius and Johntel both love basketball and are captains of their high school basketball teams.
