1、2019届杭州二中高二年级下学期期末统测模拟试卷第一部分 听力 略第二部分 阅读理解第一节AThe letter that would change everything arrived on a Tuesday. It was on ordinary morning in mid-April that smelled of clean washing and grass cuttings. Harold Fry sat at the breakfast table, freshly shaved, in a clean shirt and tie,with a slice of toast
2、that he wasnt eating. He gazed beyond the kitchen window at the clipped lawn.“Harold!” called Maureen above the vacuum cleaner. “post!”He thought he might like to go out,but the only thing to do was mow the lawn and he had done that yesterday. The vacuum tumbled into silence, and his wife appeared ,
3、looking cross, with a letter. She sat opposite Harold. Maureen was a slight woman with a cap of silver hair and a brisk walk. When they first met, nothing had pleased him more than to make her laugh. To watch her near frame collapse into unruly happiness. “Its for you”, she said,He didnt know what s
4、he meant until she slid an envelope across the table, and stopped it just short if Harolds elbow. They both looked at the letter as if they had never seen one before, It was pink, The postmark says Berwick-upon-Tweed.HedidntknowanyoneinBerwick.Hedidntknowmanypeopleanywhere.Maybeitsamistake. “Ithinki

10、uired as homework around the country for their students. In New York, for example, the Arlington Central School District, an hour outside New York City, requires all middle school students to read at least one book before returning to school in the fall. The requirement, according to the letter that
11、 went home to parents, supports reading for pleasure and provides a springboard(跳板) for reflection in the fall. Everyone agrees that reading raises achievement, and research shows that students who read over the summer develop reading skills, while those who do not often slide backward, losing up to
12、 two months of what they learned while in school Most of the summer slide happens among low-income students, which over years can result in a big achievement gap. “As a parent and teacher I think required summer reading is a must!” says California educator Constantina Possidon. “I teach at a low-inc
13、ome school, and every August the kids levels have dropped and we spend a month or two catching others up. But Chris Janotta, a teacher in Illinois, says required reading can be a turn-off for kids. The purpose behind is good, but anytime reading is required, it at once has a stigma that makes many c
14、hildren not want to do it, he says. So whats the answer? If educators know that kids who read over the summer achieve more while those who dont fall further and further behind, how can they get all their students learning? Kim Broadley, an educator from Missouri, may have the solution-its all about
15、the choice. Rather than a list of required reading or suggested reading that meets academic need, we should offer kids a list of books you wont be able to put down to keep kids doing summer reading, she says. There are tons of books that students will fall in love with and that can be used as hooks(
16、钓钩) to the academically required books.24. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Reading is an important part during summer holidays. B. Summer reading is of great value to students.C. Many schools encourage summer reading. D. Schools have a lot of reading tasks.25. What can we know abo

A study in 2019 that compared more than 30 countries found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this?_
28、31_ Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.People in Britain drive on the left said of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. _32_33_ If you are in a queue of traffic, then dont try to push
29、past the vehicles in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn, otherwise people may get angry with you.You must stop at traffic lights when they are red. In many other countries, it is ok to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isnt an

In the UK you could have lots of trouble if you do this.If another driver flashes their cars lights at you then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first. _34_._35_.

With my _48_ for the boy, I paid special attention to him and spent time with him when I could. The days flew by fast. _49_, before I knew it, it was the final night of

Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the childs physical, sensory, communicational and social development.Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, wh
46、o pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten. There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education.Studies have shownthat orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure i
47、n school, and even in life.Further studies show that poor children who take part in HeadStart programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison.There are also negative parts to putting a child in form
48、al education programs too early. TimeMagazineonline explains that the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first grade work. I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished h
49、igh school. Yet parents have been sure that theearlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier. Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementaryyears, studies also show that this head start is re
50、ally a false start, as the gains are lost in middle and highschool years.It seems that environment is a bigger factor on lifes success than early education.Head Startprograms have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle schoolchildren.Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.阅读：ADB；CCBA；ADB；BFDGE完形：CBBCA DACDD ABADC CADCB语法：differences; how; for; a; less; strongly; burning; be finished; that; whose作文略第 6 页
