1、 天全中学20152016学年下期高二第11周周考英 语 试 题（满分100分 时间40分钟）命题人：龚敏 班级： 姓名： 成绩： 第一节：阅读理解（8*4=32分） A When I first told people I was going to work in Cameroon(喀麦隆)，the most common reaction was：“Why？” The second was：“Its in Africa; youll die！” The third：“Where is that？”So let me give some answers. I was offered a jo
2、b that looked interesting in a part of the world Id never been to before. Id also long had an interest in Africa，so I decided it was time to find out the reality.A small amount of research showed that in more than 40 years since gaining independence，Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars.
3、 Not only were there no wars，but Cameroon is a food exporter to the region.Now，after three years，I can say that these have been the healthiest years of my life! No malaria or any of the other frightening diseases you read about when Africa is mentioned. The worst thing that ever happened to me was a
4、 bout of food poisoningonce.So what is it like to teach here? Well surprisingly not so different from teaching anywhere else.Most students come to us with a bit of English in their heads. Cameroon is a bilingual country with French and English as official languages，while there are also close to 200
5、local ethnic languages in a country of 16 million people. French is the dominant language，spoken by about 80% of the population.The local school system is very traditional and somewhat strict. Perhaps not surprisingly when there can be up to 150 students in the classroom (of which maybe 30 have the
6、books，and there are probably seats for 70)Like anywhere，students appreciate it if you know a bit about their country，and not just Roger Milla (top scorer of the 1990 World Cup，in case youre wondering)It helps if you know the names of the ten provinces，know who the first president was，or can say a wo
7、rd in a local language.So in conclusion：Cameroon isnt just football. Nor is it war，poverty and disease. Its just life and people，like anywhere else.1On hearing the writers decision，most people _.Adidnt understand him Bconsidered it as a jokeCadmired him Dlaughed at him2According to the passage，Camer
8、oon is _.Aa country full of diseases Bpeaceful after liberationCa poor country，especially lack of foodDquite different from others in education3What can we infer from the passage?AFood export may lead to many frightening diseases.BMost students in Cameroon do not need books.CCameroon is not as bad a
9、s people commonly believed.DThere must be a lot of people suffering from food poisoning.4What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean?AleadingBeasy Conly Dwonderful BJapans youth are losing interest in science and as a result，threatening the nations industrial progress. According to Jap
10、an Science and Technology Agency，young Japanese are surrounded by high-tech devices(设备)，but are not interested in how they work.Japanese businesses have succeeded partly because theyve a great many engineers. A drop in interest could lead to a decline in their numbers and quality. “In the past，the y
11、oung had a big interest in science and technology.” said Hirano，director of the agencys policy department.There are two main reasons for the problem. The first is known as “black box syndrome” of modern technology.Electronic devices depend on tiny silicon chips，which can only be made in big factorie
12、s，whose workings cant be seen by the eyes. The devices，unlike machines of the past driven by gears and wheels，are simply boxes.Young Japanese，brought up on video games and at home with computers，enjoy using modern technology，but this is a passive interest and different from the curiosity about how t
13、hings work. “You need an active interest to get interested in science. This is declining in the young.” said Hirano.About two thirds of Japanese in their 20s use PCs，twice the number of those in their 50s.But only 40% of those in their 20s say they are interested in news about science and technology
14、，compared to 60% of the 50 to 60 year olds.“Another reason for it is that life in modern Japan is too comfortable，”he said，“A wealthy society reduces peoples desire to modernize and develop their country. To a degree，you cant avoid this when the fruits of science and technology are fully developed.”
15、 Similarly，science in Europe and the US has also suffered a lack of interest. 5. Japanese youths interest in science is dropping probably because_.Ascientists dont make much money in JapanBthere are too many scientists in Japan alreadyCscience is more difficult for young people to learnDtheyre not c
16、urious about how high-tech devices work6The underlined word “their” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.AJapanese businessesBJapanese engineersCJapans youths Dhigh-tech devices7Why does science meet the same problem in Japan，the US and Europe?APeople are satisfied with the convenience high-tech devices brings
17、 to them.BPeople believe they dont need to develop their science any more.CPeople think high-tech devices destroys the environment.DPeople dont want to live the modernized life.8Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AOlder people are probably more interested in science in Japan
18、.BElectronic devices are made of parts that can not be seen at all.CJapans youth live too comfortably to take interest in science.DAbout onethird of Japanese people in their 50s use computers. 第二节：完型填空（20*2=40分）I have always been an independent person，but I have come to know that being independent d

32、y？”“Its in Africa；youll die！”和“Where is that？”可知，很多人对作者要去喀麦隆工作是不能理解的。2解析：选B。细节判断题。根据第三段中的“.in more than 40 years since gaining independence，Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars.”可知B项说法正确。since gaining independence与答案中的after liberation意思相同。3解析：选C。推理判断题。作者在第三段就说独立后的喀麦隆不但没有战争，而且是非洲地区的食品输出国
33、。第四段中作者又说在这里的三年是他一生中最健康的时候。串联起来不难看出作者实际上是在证明喀麦隆绝对不像人们所想象的那么差。4解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据该词后的“spoken by about 80% of the population”(被80%的人说)可以判断出法语是主要的语言。B篇【解题导语】本文分析了日本的年轻人对科学的兴趣日益下降的主要原因。5.解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，日本的年轻人对科学的兴趣减弱是因为他们对高科技产品的运作方式不感兴趣。6. 解析：选B。代词指代题。根据第二段前两句可知，日本企业成功的部分原因是有大量的工程师。而日本的年轻人对科学的兴趣日益下降
34、可能会导致工程师数量的减少和素质的降低。故their指代“日本工程师们的”。7. 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，一个富裕的社会会降低人们发展国家的欲望，也就是说，人们的生活太过安逸。在欧洲和美国出现同样的问题也是同样道理。8.解析：选B。正误判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，电子设备依赖微小的硅片，它们的运作方式是眼睛看不到的。故B项说法错误。第二节：完型填空（20*2=40分）【解题导语】独立并不意味着要拒绝帮助，接受帮助比拒绝帮助好，这是作者通过自己的亲身经历领悟到的道理。1解析：选A。struggle with表示“与作斗争”，根据上下文可知作者还在与是否要寻求帮助作斗争。2解析
35、：选A。根据下文的“when my offers”可知，作者甚至会给别人提供帮助。3解析：选D。当作者给别人提供帮助而被拒绝时，她很少会心甘情愿地走开。这与下文作者拒绝别人的帮助时，对方还是留下来陪她的经历有关。occasionally“偶尔”；frequently“经常地”；usually“通常”；seldom“很少”。4解析：选D。有时一个人的独立是骄傲、勇敢、顽强和运气的结合。range“一系列”；symbol“象征”；way“方式”；mix“混合，结合”。5解析：选C。根据文章第一句以及下文的内容可知，作者是一个非常独立的人。6解析：选C。根据6空后面的“choosing instea
36、d to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way.”可知，作者曾经旅行时从不问路。money“金钱”；equipment“装备”；direction“方向”；suggestion“建议”。7解析：选C。根据第一段的最后一句可知，此处表示“一切都变了”，故选C。8解析：选A。下文提到作者的未婚夫死了，此处应指他受到了箱型水母的攻击。attack“攻击”。9解析：选B。根据“25 years old”及13空后面的“Seans death”可知，此处指Sean三分钟之内就死了，故选B。10解析：选A。由上文可知，作者正遭受着未婚夫突然去世
37、的打击，再结合11空后面的“two young Israeli women stayed”可知，周围的人在问作者是否需要陪伴。company“陪伴”。11解析：选B。作者固执的骄傲和习惯的力量阻止她接受别人提供的帮助。prevent“阻止”。12解析：选A。尽管作者反对，她们还是留下来陪作者。in spite of“尽管”；in case of“以防万一”；in terms of“就而言”；as a result of“由于”。13解析：选D。根据下一句中的“It was listed as drunk drowning.”可知，警方尽力地掩盖Sean死亡的原因。cause“原因”。14解析：
38、选D。Sean因受水母攻击而死亡，警方掩盖其死因是为了避免影响到当地的旅游业。15解析：选A。could have done表示“本来能做，而实际上未做”，此处指那两位以色列女士本来能够走开的，但她们还是留下来陪作者。16解析：选C。她们反而宁可延误自己的日程安排，也不扔下作者不管。instead“反而，却”。17解析：选A。参见上题解析。18解析：选B。while表示“尽管”。尽管作者当时没有意识到这一点，但现在她相信，如果没有这两位好心的女士，她不会从这场灾难中幸存。19解析：选A。参见上题解析。survive“幸存；存活”。20解析：选B。根据下文的“.because it not on
39、ly.of life.”并结合全文可知，此处表示“接受帮助比拒绝帮助好”。第三节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)【解题导语】 如今手机上瘾现象非常严重，对人们的生活有着很大的危害。文章告诉我们是我们的自控力和自我约束力差而导致此种现象，并非手机本身的问题。1【解析】 考查一般过去时。根据时间状语“on Oct.22”可知，此处是在描述发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时。【答案】 had2【解析】 考查固定短语。be absorbed in“专心致志，全神贯注”，是固定短语。【答案】 absorbed3【解析】 考查现在分词。根据语境可知，此处表示“火车与他擦身而过，把他摔在了地
40、上”，train和throw之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。【答案】 throwing4【解析】 考查固定结构。serve as意为“起作用，产生效果”，此处表示“这应该给人们起一个警告作用”。【答案】 as5【解析】 考查连词。根据语境可知，此处表示“尤其是当过马路的时候”，故用when或while，【答案】 when/while6【解析】 考查副词。幸运的是，这个男子与死亡擦肩而过，但是这个事件迫使驾驶员停下了火车。在句首应该用lucky的副词形式，即Luckily。【答案】 Luckily7【解析】 考查动词不定式。force sb.to do sth.意为“迫使某人做某事”，为
41、固定结构。【答案】 to stop8【解析】 考查非限制性定语从句。因为这件事耽搁了18分钟，导致路线上其他火车的运行中断了。此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的“An 18minute delay”。【答案】 which9【解析】 考查名词。分析句子成分可知，此处作主语，意为“手机上瘾”，故用addicted的名词形式addiction，意为“上瘾”，addict作为名词时，意为“对着迷的人”，此处不符合语境。【答案】 addiction10【解析】 考查形容词比较级。whats even worse意为“甚至更糟糕的是”，even修饰比较级，故用worse。【答案】 worse
42、第四节 ：短文改错（10*1.3=13分） Nowadays millions of people of all take pleasure in a hobby which is both and fun.And every year more and more people start a stamp collection of own and discover an interest which can even last lifetime.Starting your collection of stamps easy because they are .Holiday and birthday postcards and letters by your friends and relatives can provide you stamps from all over the world.But once youve started collecting seriously，you will probably want to join the Stamp Collectors Club which to add more stamps to your collection. 版权所有：高考资源网()
