高二英语下学期下册试题

Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”Lehane told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”

A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.

    The city’s “psychology cafes”,which offer great comfort,are among the most popular places.Middle-aged homemakers,retirees,and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love,anger,and dreams with a psychologist.And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel.“There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,”says Maurice Frisch,a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church.“People have few real friends.And they need to open up.”Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people had normal lives,these cafes wouldn’t exist,”she says.“If life weren’t a battle,people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.”But then,it wouldn’t be France.

I often dream of a teacher, I dream of standing on the platform in the classroom and give lessons to lovely boys and girls. I teach them, play with them, but watch them growing up. I am always young when I was staying with them. I know there is not easy to be a teacher. You have to learn in order to teach.

Only in this way can you be good teacher and win respect from them. Though I am a student now, I will work as very hard to make my dream come true.

Parents should stop complaining themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted (坚持) that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling (四肢摊开) himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was only a quick look at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don't know what to do with him these days," she said. "He's forgotten all the manners we taught him."

He hasn't forgotten them. He's just decided that he's not going to use them. She admitted (承 认) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.

Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don't like your dress, it's ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.

"Where did we go wrong?" her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

A.a specialist in teenager studies                         B.a headmaster of a middle school

C.a parent with teenage children                       D.a doctor for mental health problems

B.the way that parents often complained about themselves C.the opinion that a child has of his parents

       High in thick bamboo forests in the misty,   71  (rain) mountains of southwestern China   72  (live) one of the world’s rarest mammals: the giant panda, also called the panda, Only about 1,000 of these black-and-white   73  (relative) of bears survive in the wild.

       Pandas eat almost nothing   74   bamboo shoots and leaves.   75  (occasion) they eat other plants, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99% of their diets.

       Pandas eat fast; they eat   76   lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day   77  (do) it. The reason is   78   they digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot-up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours-so they eat fast.

       Pandas’ molars(臼齿) are very broad and flat. The shape of these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems they eat to get the bamboo to their mouths,   79   hold the stems with their front claws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for grasping things. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don’t go into areas   80   people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas.

You might have heard about identity theft: it’s what can happen when a thief gets enough of someone’s information to commit fraud(诈骗). Why should people care about it? Because recovering a stolen identity can be a timeconsuming and expensive process. Imagine that someone pretends to be you: they use your name; they even convince businesses that they’re you and they open a credit card in your name, get a cell phone in your name, or buy things using a credit card that has your name on it.

ID thieves can be creative about getting your information. There are some low—tech ways they get it: sometimes they steal garbage, going through it to find personal information» or they steal mail.

There are high—tech ways, too: ID thieves might put software onto your computer without you knowing it—it can happen when you open an email attachment, click on a popup (弹出窗口) advertisement, or download some music files. Some software lets a thief see everything on your computer, and record everything you type on your computer.

Unfortunately, even if you’re really careful with your personal information, thieves can still get it. Sometimes, they hack (入侵) into computer systems at stores or schools, hospitals or businesses. They look for personal information to use or sell to other thieves.

It’s pretty easy for you and your family to make it harder for a thief to steal your identity. You can start with the lowtech defenses: being careful with your mail and garbage. Tear anything that has personal information on it before you throw it away. And be sure to take care with your purse, your wallet, or your backpack.

Practice some routine higher-tech defensive plays, too: protect your computer by installing (安装) and turning on an up-to-date firewall along with anti-spyware and anti-virus software. Once you are online, be careful with your personal information. Some sites might ask for a credit card number, stop and check if they really need that number. When you get email or pop—ups on your computer, don’t respond automatically. Emails that ask you to reply or click a link could be thieves trying to trick you into giving them your personal information. It’s a technique called “phishing”, because the thieves are fishing for your information. Stop and think before you click.

25. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers that       .

A. people worry about identity theft

B. it is important to avoid identity theft

C. it is too difficult to recover a stolen identity

D. thieves manage to obtain personal information

26. What can we learn from the text?

A. Schools can be targets for identity thieves.

A. It becomes more and more serious.                               B. It is out of control at present.

C. It will eventually be stopped.                                    D. It can be prevented in some simple ways.

28. The underlined word “palys” in paragraph 6 probably means       .

A. tasks                              B. games                                  C. exercises                       D. actions

29. Which of the following is an effective way of preventing identity theft?

One of the first signs visitors encounter(遇见)at most museums isPlease do not touch the exhibits. However at the new Hoy tocael Prado exhibition at Madrid’s Museo Nacional Del Prado, the officials don’t just encourage the habit, they insist upon it. That’s because this art display has been specially created to enable visually(视觉的) impaired(受损) patrons(顾客)to experience the joy of the works of some of the world’s most famous artists just like able-bodied people can.

The 3-D masterpieces(杰作)is the idea of Estudios Durero. The creators began by taking high resolution(高清的)images of the original works. They then used a special ink to add different 3-D materials to the paintings. This allows blind visitors to feel features like hair, skin, cloaks, etc. so that they can create a visual image of what the art looks like in their minds. Since the blind can see some colors, equal importance was given to the colors in the paintings.

The Museo Nacional Del Prado is the world’s first major museum to create one with versions of their most famous work of arts. As to why it has taken so long for it to come up with this bright idea, Fernando Pérez, the museum’s keeper says it is not because of lack of interest, but a lack of resources. Pérez explains, “There are now new technologies to provide answers that were earlier not possible, such as the paints in 3-D, and apps.” Now that they have it all figured out, people plan to continue offering similar exhibitions in the future.

As one blind visitor said, “For us the sense of sight is the sense of touch. My view is to touch, and usually I can’t see the paintings others see in a museum—someone would have to explain them to me. But in this exhibit, I have the chance to see it with my hands.”

27. Why can the paintings in Hoy tocael Prado be touched?

A. They are created by the famous artists.

B. They are specially designed for the blind.

C. They are all made of unique materials.

D. They are displayed in a special way.

28. The second paragraph is mainly about______.

A. how the 3-D masterpieces were created

B. why the museum displayed its masterpieces

C. what special effects the 3-D masterpieces have

D. who are the creators of these 3-D masterpieces

29. Why did it take the museum so long to come up with this concept?

A. The museum has no interest in it.

B. The painters don’t allow using their works.

C. There is a lack of stuff in the museum.

D. Technology set a limit to the museum.

30. The last paragraph implies that______.

A. the blind depend on touch to live

B. the blind are usually ignored by the museum

C. the exhibition has been a huge success

D. paintings should be explained in the museum

Instagram made a survey of people aged between 18 to 34 years old that live in France, Germany and in the United Kingdom, asking them how they share and connect digitally (数字地) and visually. According to results from the survey, the new trends and behaviours found may offer a window into the future, and how our world may be seen by the Millennials generation. The first statistic to see, is how Instagram changed the view of Instagramers.

Nearly a quarter of Instagramers admit that Instagram has changed how they see the world. Press and news Instagram accounts are sharing news from all our the planet, such as BBC News, RT or NowThis.

While conducting the survey, Instagramers are shown the same image on five digital platforms. They describe images on Instagram as more imaginative, creative, distinctive, inspiring and cool.

    Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important.
