可克达拉2025学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测高二英语

1、   1.What's your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success comes only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways but not in others.

For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and won surprisingly. As a prize, 2.我得到一张看功夫熊猫（Kung Fu Panda）的票。I was really lucky because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. 3.Thinking that I might be lucky again, I tried joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I never won again. I knew that the other people had a greater artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the drawings made were not of very high standard(标准).

4. 这些经历教了我很多。Though I might have been lucky at first, I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 5.practice makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and more chances.

24、①Research has shown that dogs can help reduce bad feelings like stress and loneliness. Recently, scientists did an experiment which showed that dogs can also tell the difference between the smell of a person when they’re relaxed and when they’re stressed.

②Researchers worked with four dogs. They taught the dogs to use a special smell-testing device (装置) with three openings. The scientists trained the dogs to find the correct opening. Over time, the dogs were given harder and harder smelling jobs. The final goal was to see if they could smell stress in the breath and sweat (汗水) of a person.

③ All day long, our bodies go through changes and produce different chemicals. These chemicals come out in our breath and sweat, changing the way we smell. But it wasn’t known if stress could cause changes that couldn’t be discovered.

④So the researchers collected breath and sweat samples (样本) from 36 different people. They got samples when the people were calm, and also when they were stressed. Then the researchers collected two more sweat and breath samples. The scientists used one of the stressed smell.

⑤ Then came the challenge —the dogs have three choices: a sample from a calm person, a stressed sample from the same person, and a clean piece of cloth. The dogs did 720 tests. They correctly chose the stressed sample about 94% of the time.

⑥The results make it clear that dogs can tell the smell of stress. Scientists say the news could be especially useful in training service dogs, because their job is to help relieve the stress.

⑦ According to Clara Wilson, one of the researchers, the study shows that dogs don’t need to look at or listen to a person to detect stress — breath and sweat smells are enough. She added that the study could also help us understand more about the relationship between dogs and humans, and how much dogs know about how humans are feeling.

【1】The scientists use samples of breath and sweat to test the dogs because _________.

A．they make our bodies smell different

B．our bodies become stronger every day

C．our bodies produce different sweat every day

【2】Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the ________ of the experiment.

A．importance

B．influence

C．process

D．result

【3】The underlined word “detect” might mean “_________” .

A．change

B．reduce

C．affect

D．discover

【4】The purpose of the experiment is to ________.

A．know when people are stressed

B．learn if dogs can smell stress

C．teach dogs to find the correct opening

D．check the breath and sweat of people

25、Dear Mr. Expert,

I grew up in an abusive(虐待的) home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house of my own, and I’m really proud.

Here’s the problem: some of my friends who still live with their parents spend the weekends with me. But now they make mine theirs. They bring boy friends over, talk on the phone, etc.

I enjoy having my friends here sometimes – it makes the place feel comfortable and warm, but this is my home, not a party house, what shall I do?

Joan

Dear Joan,

If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict that you grew up in. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love you, but I also need some personal space. So please call before you come over.”

Edward

【1】We can infer(推断) from the first letter that   .

A. Joan considers her friends more important than her personal space

B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept

C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all

D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends that her friends bring over

【2】According to Mr. Expert, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feeling?

A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.

B. She does not understand true friendship.

C. Her family experience stops her doing so.

D. She does not put her needs first.

【3】The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means   .

A. free life B. angry fight

C. bad manners     D. sad feeling

27、

Since the year 2022 is the Year of the Tiger, do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? What’s their personality like? Are they brave, strong, tenacious（顽强的）and sympathetic? If so, then they are a typical “tiger”.

In Chinese culture, tigers are considered the king of all beasts.

They symbolize power, energy, protection, generosity and unpredictability. Tigers are regarded as fearless creatures, so that’s why in China you can see images of tigers on the walls of temples and houses to ward off disasters and danger.

Tigers have an important cultural significance not just in China, but across Asia.

▲ . For example, strong economies in the East — Singapore, South Korea, China’s Hong Kong and Taiwan—were called “The Four Asian Tigers”. In the book Life of Pie, Canadian writer Yann Martel chose a Bengal tiger as the partner for Indian boy Pie on his survival adventure in the Pacific Ocean. French fashion brand KENZO takes the tiger as its main theme when it tries to show Eastern elements with European design.

Instead of tigers, lions are considered as the king of all beasts in the West. Brave warriors（勇士）were given the name “the lion”. In Europe, the animal is a national sign for England as well as for Norway, Spain, Belgium and 13 other countries.

But in the West, tigers are also seen as a very powerful animal. In English, if you want someone to calm down, you can say to them, “easy tiger”. Another famous phrase is: “Eye of the Tiger”, which means fierceness and strength.

Tigers are also one of my favorite animals. I first learned about the beauty of tigers as a child, while watching animal documentaries. If you ask my mom, she’ll tell you that my most precious toy while growing up was my toy tiger, which I still treasure dearly to this day. As a young animal lover, I felt so sad that they were an endangered species and I wanted to help protect them.

Just like tigers serve as a symbol of protection in Chinese culture, we can only hope that in the upcoming Year of the Tiger more people can learn about tigers and help protect them and their habitats from further destruction.

【1】________ is NOT the personality of people born in the year of tiger.

A．Being brave and strong

B．Being tenacious

C．Being fearless

D．Being hard-working and warm-hearted

【2】The writer mentions Life of Pie ________.

A．to introduce this book to readers

B．to express his love for this book

C．to show tigers’ cultural meanings in westerners’ eyes

D．to call on people to protect tigers which have been endangered

【3】Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ?

A．However, people in the West firmly believe that tigers, though they live in the East, have a very special meaning for them.

B．However, it is interesting to note that tigers are more popular in the West than in the Eastern countries.

C．As they mostly live in Asia, for many people in the West, they have become a cultural symbol of Eastern countries.

D．Though they mostly live in Asia, many people around the world have already realized the importance of protecting them.

【4】The last two paragraphs are mainly about ________.

A．what the writer’s childhood is like

B．what the writer has done to protect tigers

C．why tigers are endangered

D．a fact that it’s important to protect tigers

28、   Last year Kang Jian 【1】（go）to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it 【2】（interest）that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys【3】（be）American brands, they were made in China.” Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted 【4】（buy）a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before 【5】（find）a pair made in America！”He realized that 【6】（America）can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact, ” he continues, “there were many other things made in China—footballs, handbags, pet 【7】（food）, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China！”Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. 【8】（however）, he hopes that in the future China will also get 【9】（good）at making high technology products that people can buy in all 【10】（part）of the world.
