三、阅读理解

A【a】

Love, like rare flowers, can grow in the strangest places. We asked couples to tell us where they met. We received over 700 stories，some sad, some funny, all wonderful. Here is a selection of

the best stories they sent us.

Mike and Alice Brown met on a mountain. They were climbing in Wales in 1999 when the weather turned bad. Alice, an experienced climber, knew the way down the mountain, and she helped Mike and his brother reach safely. Mike bought her dinner to say thank you，and they were married a year later, “We live near the mountains, says Alice, and every morning when I look out of the wi ndow, I remember the day we met. ”

Jim and Donna Dormer, both 62, have an even stronger connection than mountains. Their meeting wasn't particularly interesting—they first saw each other in a bar—but when they started going out, they discovered one interesting fact. They were born in the same hospital. Not only that, but they were born in the same room. Jim says, “I show Donna a photo that my father took in the hospital just after I was born. In the background, you can just see another woman with her young baby. That woman was Donna's mother.”

New York couple Jack Kingsley and Marian Strauss met when he was cleaning the windows of her office on the 105th floor! Marian says, “I was in my office and this wonderfully handsome man was at my window, cleaning. It was a cold day, so I invited him in for a cup of coffee. It turned out that he was from the same town where I grew up. He was charming！” Jack continues the story, “Marian was so friendly，not like most of the office workers we come across. We became friends immediately and then started dating about a week later. ”

1．From the text we know that people sent us their stories to ________.

A. compete for the funniest one

B. share their happiness with us

C. respond to our investigation

D. set good examples to young people

2．Jack Kingsley and Marian Strauss became friends because ________.

A. they both like climbing mountains

B. they were born in the same hospital

C. they grew up in the same town

D. they attracted each other

3．According to the second paragraph, Alice Brown met Mike ________.

A．by accident B．under an engagement

C．in a hospital D．when doing cleaning

4．The author wants to convince the readers of the fact that ________.

A．love, like flowers, needs watering

B．the first impression is very important

C．romance may happen on any occasion

D．opportunity seldom knocks twice

B【b】

Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.

Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.

Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.

We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent－mindedness. Stories about absent－minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent－mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can caus e us great trouble.

5．If you want to have a good memory，you should ______.

A．force yourself to remember things

B．make a conscious effort of practice and exercise

C．never stop learning

D．try hard to remember things

6．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Absent－mindedness stories can bring people fun.

B．Absent－mindedness is more troublesome than forgetfulness.

C．Absent－minded professors are often amused by the incidents, too.

D．Absent－mindedness happens not only to professors but to all other people.

7．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?

A．The Key to a Good Memory

B．“Tricks” of Memory

C．The Dangers of Forgetfulness

D．The Dangers of Absent－mindedness

四、七选五【b】

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.

Try physical activity

When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. __36__ Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.

Share your stress

It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you get a better view of what's troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. __37__

Take care of yourself

You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.

Make time for yourself

Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don't forget, play can be just as important to you over－all well－being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window－shopping or work on a hobby. __38__

Make a list of the things you need to do

Stress can result from disorgani zation and a feeling that “there's so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. __39__

Go ahead and cry

__40__ It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effects of anxiety and

stress.

A．Do what you want to do.

B．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.

C．Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax.

D．Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.

E．Set out to do the most important tasks first.

F．A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety.

G．Laugh when you want to.

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷(含答案)

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷 第二部分：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中，选出最佳选项。 A Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet #Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern. The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom. According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus. To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 21 The writer usually rideshares with _____. A. anyone heading the same way B. people he knows

17学年上学期高二第13周英语周练(附答案)(20200222174434)

We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines and products that scientists and technologists develop. New drugs, faster and safer means of transport, new systems of applied knowledge are some examples of this aspect of science.

First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity — he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions, whether of pure or applied knowledge, and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes. He uses the facts he observes to the full extent. For example, trained observers acquire a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum. He is skeptical —he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available — and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to
