The following are three of them in 2019.Medicine Prize: PizzaIt’s one of the world’s most popular foods. According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease — if your pizza is loaded with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (类黄酮) to fight against certain diseases. So, if you’re a pizza enthusiast, you now have one more reason to love it!Economics Prize: Dirty MoneyPaper money, the most frequently passed items on the planet, is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria. Which country’s currency is the dirtiest? An international team compared seven countries’ paper money. The Romanian Leu was the only one to carry all three types of bacteria tested. And the US Dollar was also a finalist. Perhaps this will make cashless payments more popular.Biology Prize: CockroachCockroaches (蟑螂) are well known for their survival abilities, but few folks know they can sense magnetic fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (磁性) than live ones. That’s because magnetic properties decrease when the temperature gets higher. So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.21. What do the three prizes have in common?A. They are beneficial to our health.B. They are entertaining and unusual.C. They’ve gained the recognition of the Nobel Prize.D. They are stranger than any other project in previous years.22. What can we learn from the passage?A. People with heart disease should eat more pizzas.B. US Dollar is relatively dirtier than Romanian Leu.C. Dirty paper money leads to cashless payments.D. Dead cockroaches are better magnetic sensors than live ones.In which column can you find this passage in a newspaper?Discovery. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Business.BDeciding to get her money's worth out of the wedding dress on which she spent over $1,000, an Australian woman has been wearing her wedding dress, a year after her wedding. 43-year-old Tammy Hall adopted a new lifestyle-anti-consumerism (反消费主义)lifestyle in 2016, after a trip to India opened her eyes to how much we as a society consumed. She decided not to buy any new clothes or footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide, in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it.But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day?“In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, I’d make sure I could get my money’s worth,” Hall tells PA Real Life.“The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019,” the 43-year-old adds. “Since then, it’s been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym.”Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesn’t really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner will take next summer.24. Why did Tammy Hall adopt a new lifestyle?A. To adapt herself to Indian life. B. To cut down her consumption.C. To save money for her next trip. D. To get prepared for her wedding.25. What did Tammy Hall do to get her money’s worth out of her wedding dress?A. She brought fun to people with it. B. She tried to wear it to earn money.C. She wore it repeatedly in daily life. D. She got it exchanged again and again.26. Which of the following best explains the word “irritating” underlined in paragraph 6?A. Thrilling. B. Annoying. C. Amusing. D. Confusing.27. What can we infer about Tammy Hall?A. She is determined to turn her ideas into practice.B. She values her wedding dress less than her trips.C. She has been struggling to make the ends meet.D. She has influenced people’s lifestyle widely.CAnts keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions, according to new research.For their experiment, researchers from the University of Toulouse and the University of Arizona focused on Argentine ants, which are only 2-3 millimeters long and frequently move from colony (栖息地) to colony depending on how far food is. Tapping into the ants' talent for fast commutes (通勤), the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies. The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch.Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were nearly overloaded, there were no 20-ant pile-ups. And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowded the bridges were because ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions.“When crowding on the path increased, ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any interruption of traffic flow,” the researchers said. “Moreover, ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have. You've probably noticed it on your own commute to work. Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road — a lane-change (车道变换) here, a little acceleration there. Then traffic slows down. But some impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes.“Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives,” the researchers said. “In contrast, ants share a common goal: the survival of the colony, thus they’re expected to act cooperatively to get food.”The research also suggests that the ever-widening of highways may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own agendas, no matter how many other people are on the road, we’ll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may be a good thing. It leaves less room for personal choices and forces us to take a page from the driving handbook of ants.28. What did the researchers do to the ants in the experiment?A. They fed them with much delicious food. B. They trained them to avoid heavy traffic.C. They built bridges linking their colonies. D. They improved their colonies constantly.29. How did the ants behave during the experiment?A. They worked together to remove the road blocks.B. They sped up to get out of the traffic jam quickly. .C. They made their way carefully in the given direction.D. They adjusted themselves for the flow of the traffic.30. What is the biggest cause of the traffic jam in human society?A. Poor road construction. B. People’s inability to adjust.C. People’s selfish driving. D. Too many vehicles on roads.31. What is the text mainly about?A. What ants help us do for driving safety. B. What ants can teach us about traffic jams.C. Why ants drive much better than humans. D. Why ants are best at handling traffic jams.DA rainy day can be a chance to recharge. While you relaxed on the sofa with a movie, the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的) effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that it’s possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, “Why don’t we use water?”A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned.It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop.This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction (摩擦). Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode (电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.“It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is way more than the charge produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his team’s model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water.“The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics.” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic appliances we use every day.” he says.Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab, Oshman says. Next, the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale, such as on an umbrella.32. How did the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By telling a story. B. By raising a question.C. By giving an example. D. By imagining a situation.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The wire. B. The drop of water.C. The surface. D. The electricity.34. What is unique about Ma’s technique compared with earlier experiments?A. The water itself acts as an electrode.B. It is based on the triboelectric effect.C. It produces electricity from water-made friction.D. It uses a surface coated with two different materials.35. What does Oshman say about Ma’s technology?A. It has a promising future. B. It will do well on an umbrella.C. It works well in the real world. D. It will replace batteries someday.第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Supporting OthersWe’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 36 When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 37 In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional it can feel burdensome. 38 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying, “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing they’ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was to him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. 39 Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 40 This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.A. Walk alongside someone and make comments.B. Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends.C. Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.F. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way.G. Just be there, occasional while someone lets out their feeling. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。In college, we were required to do an act of kindness, including preparing lunch for an elderly person.

They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.注意:１． 续写词数应为150左右;２．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.Paragraph 1:Robert was fast sinking.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Thus,Robert’s life was saved.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 莆田一中2019-2020学年下学期期末考试试卷答案高二 英语听力 1-5 CABBC 6-10 ABCAB 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 CACAA阅读理解 21-23 BDA 24-27 BCBA 28-31 CDCB 32-35 DBAA 36-40 EFCDG完形填空 41-45 ACBDB 46-50 ACBCA 51-55 BDDCA 语法填空 56. equally 57. but 58. it 59. to drink 60. spirits 61. what 62. worse 63. if 64. sank 65. off 书面表达应用文Dear students,With the development electric products, an increasing number of students tend to use electric products for taking notes, rather than writing on the paper. As a consequence, our handwriting is not as good as it was in the past. To solve this problem, we should do as follows.Firstly, we should use less electric products while learning so that we can have more time to improve our handwriting. Additionally, it’s necessary that we form the habit of practicing calligraphy every day.Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to us students. Let’s take action right now! I’m convinced our efforts will eventually pay off.读后续写Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and at the risk of drowning himself, he brought Robert to the shore.Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil. 附1：听力原文Text 1W: Do you need anything specific from the grocery store while I am out? I won’t be back until dinner, so tell me now.M: I don’t need anything from the store, but can you stop by the cleaner’s to pick up my work suit? (1)Text 2M: Hi, I’d like to send this package to Chicago through express. (2)W: We have normal, fast, and same-day delivery. Normal delivery will get there by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, fast will arrive by 12:00 tomorrow, and same-day will get there tonight.M: Fast, please.Text 3 W: What would you like today? The same as last time, or something different?M: The same. Just take a little off the top. When you finish that, can you style it like the actor Tom Cruise? (3)Text 4W: Oh, no! Look at what I just did. I knocked over a glass. Can you help me clean this up? M: That’s the second glass this week. You are always falling down or breaking things. You need to pay more attention. (4)Text 5 W: Oh, look at you, you’re wet and covered in mud!M: Football was great today. Playing in the rain is so much fun.W: Rain may be great, but you had better wash up before your father comes home. Dinner will be ready soon. (5)Text 6 M: Are you trying to translate another Russian song? (6) The last one took you a week!W: Well, I’m getting a little faster. I’m halfway done, and it’s only been two days. (6)M: You should try a different approach to learning the language. (7)W: I’m already taking an online class. My teacher suggested this activity, because the students were having too much trouble reading books. She said translating songs will help both listening and reading abilities. (7) Do you have a better idea?M: The first time I studied Chinese, children’s cartoons helped me a lot. They usually have simple language that is often repeated, so I learned many words in that way.Text 7W: Why don’t we go fishing?M: I didn’t know you liked fishing. What would you like to catch?W: I’m not bothered, really. Big fish, small fish, no fish — I don’t care.M: No fish? We can stay at home and catch no fish.W: What I like most about fishing is just being there, next to the water, looking at a river or lake. It’s peaceful.M: How about going to the coast? (8) We could even go out in a boat and catch some big fish. The water should be calm today.W: I hope so. You know I suffer from sea sickness when there are a lot of waves. (8) (9)M: I think we’ll be OK. We don’t have to go far. It will be fun. (8)Text 8 W: So, how does it feel to be home?M: That’s a good question. On the one hand, I’m happy to be back. On the other hand, it feels different here.W: What do you mean? Nothing has changed here.M: I know. I mean I’m not the same person as I was before I left. Now, even though this is my hometown, I feel like I don’t have anything in common with anyone. (10)W: How so?M: Let me explain. Before I left, everyone was single. Now everyone has either got married or had children. (10)W: I thought you had a wife. (11)M: I have a girlfriend. (11)W: I see. So, how long are you back for? (12)M: I have a 14-day vacation, and then I have to go back. (12) However, once my one-year contract is over, I’ll probably come back.W: When will you be back next?M: I’m coming back for a business trip in three months.W: OK. Why don’t we get all our old friends together?M: Sure. It would be nice to see everyone again.Text 9 W: Have you heard the latest news about HS2? (14) It is going to cost a vast amount.M: Yes, and does the UK really need another high-speed railway line like HS2? (13) We have good roads and airports.W: I support it. The part they are building now looks good, but it will cost far too much. (14)M: I read somewhere that China might be asked to build the second part.W: That is a great idea. Look at the wonderful railways they have.M: The Chinese say they could build the line at a much lower price. (15)W: I’m sure they could. I bet they would do it quicker as well.M: I agree. Did you see the story about the hospital they built in a short time? That was amazing! (16)W: Projects in Britain always take so long. Planning takes years, and building takes years. People just want to be able to use it.M: I know. We could learn a lot from the Chinese. It wouldn’t worry me if they took over the railway job. (16)W: The only problem is the distance. China is a long way away.M: They do projects all over the world. Look at the Belt and Road. That won’t be a problem.W: Let’s hope they do it then.Text 10 Today, I’m going to talk about what one community is doing to save energy at present. The people of Davis, California have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by one-third since 1973. All new houses in Davis must make sure that the heat will not escape unnecessarily during the winter. New houses must also face north or south so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer. (18) The laws have had a definite effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50% decrease in the amount of natural gas and electricity used for heating and air-conditioning. There are other energy-saving features about Davis, too. Public buses transport university students throughout the area. There are 24 miles of bicycle paths. And today, there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the number of available parking spaces, the City Council has succeeded in reducing the number of cars in the city every day. (19) Another benefit of the reduced parking is the greater number of small cars. With the intention of saving gas, people are choosing not to drive or driving economical cars instead. (20) Davis has become an energy-saving model for other cities. Well, time is up for today. Next week, we’ll return to our regular topic of national energy alternatives.

The following are three of them in 2019.Medicine Prize: PizzaIt’s one of the world’s most popular foods. According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease — if your pizza is loaded with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (类黄酮) to fight against certain diseases. So, if you’re a pizza enthusiast, you now have one more reason to love it!Economics Prize: Dirty MoneyPaper money, the most frequently passed items on the planet, is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria. Which country’s currency is the dirtiest? An international team compared seven countries’ paper money. The Romanian Leu was the only one to carry all three types of bacteria tested. And the US Dollar was also a finalist. Perhaps this will make cashless payments more popular.Biology Prize: CockroachCockroaches (蟑螂) are well known for their survival abilities, but few folks know they can sense magnetic fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (磁性) than live ones. That’s because magnetic properties decrease when the temperature gets higher. So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.21. What do the three prizes have in common?A. They are beneficial to our health.B. They are entertaining and unusual.C. They’ve gained the recognition of the Nobel Prize.D. They are stranger than any other project in previous years.22. What can we learn from the passage?A. People with heart disease should eat more pizzas.B. US Dollar is relatively dirtier than Romanian Leu.C. Dirty paper money leads to cashless payments.D. Dead cockroaches are better magnetic sensors than live ones.In which column can you find this passage in a newspaper?Discovery. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Business.BDeciding to get her money's worth out of the wedding dress on which she spent over $1,000, an Australian woman has been wearing her wedding dress, a year after her wedding. 43-year-old Tammy Hall adopted a new lifestyle-anti-consumerism (反消费主义)lifestyle in 2016, after a trip to India opened her eyes to how much we as a society consumed. She decided not to buy any new clothes or footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide, in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it.But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day?“In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, I’d make sure I could get my money’s worth,” Hall tells PA Real Life.“The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019,” the 43-year-old adds. “Since then, it’s been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym.”Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesn’t really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner will take next summer.24. Why did Tammy Hall adopt a new lifestyle?A. To adapt herself to Indian life. B. To cut down her consumption.C. To save money for her next trip. D. To get prepared for her wedding.25. What did Tammy Hall do to get her money’s worth out of her wedding dress?A. She brought fun to people with it. B. She tried to wear it to earn money.C. She wore it repeatedly in daily life. D. She got it exchanged again and again.26. Which of the following best explains the word “irritating” underlined in paragraph 6?A. Thrilling. B. Annoying. C. Amusing. D. Confusing.27. What can we infer about Tammy Hall?A. She is determined to turn her ideas into practice.B. She values her wedding dress less than her trips.C. She has been struggling to make the ends meet.D. She has influenced people’s lifestyle widely.CAnts keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions, according to new research.For their experiment, researchers from the University of Toulouse and the University of Arizona focused on Argentine ants, which are only 2-3 millimeters long and frequently move from colony (栖息地) to colony depending on how far food is. Tapping into the ants' talent for fast commutes (通勤), the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies. The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch.Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were nearly overloaded, there were no 20-ant pile-ups. And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowded the bridges were because ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions.“When crowding on the path increased, ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any interruption of traffic flow,” the researchers said. “Moreover, ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have. You've probably noticed it on your own commute to work. Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road — a lane-change (车道变换) here, a little acceleration there. Then traffic slows down. But some impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes.“Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives,” the researchers said. “In contrast, ants share a common goal: the survival of the colony, thus they’re expected to act cooperatively to get food.”The research also suggests that the ever-widening of highways may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own agendas, no matter how many other people are on the road, we’ll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may be a good thing. It leaves less room for personal choices and forces us to take a page from the driving handbook of ants.28. What did the researchers do to the ants in the experiment?A. They fed them with much delicious food. B. They trained them to avoid heavy traffic.C. They built bridges linking their colonies. D. They improved their colonies constantly.29. How did the ants behave during the experiment?A. They worked together to remove the road blocks.B. They sped up to get out of the traffic jam quickly. .C. They made their way carefully in the given direction.D. They adjusted themselves for the flow of the traffic.30. What is the biggest cause of the traffic jam in human society?A. Poor road construction. B. People’s inability to adjust.C. People’s selfish driving. D. Too many vehicles on roads.31. What is the text mainly about?A. What ants help us do for driving safety. B. What ants can teach us about traffic jams.C. Why ants drive much better than humans. D. Why ants are best at handling traffic jams.DA rainy day can be a chance to recharge. While you relaxed on the sofa with a movie, the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的) effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that it’s possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, “Why don’t we use water?”A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned.It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop.This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction (摩擦). Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode (电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.“It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is way more than the charge produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his team’s model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water.“The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics.” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic appliances we use every day.” he says.Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab, Oshman says. Next, the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale, such as on an umbrella.32. How did the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By telling a story. B. By raising a question.C. By giving an example. D. By imagining a situation.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The wire. B. The drop of water.C. The surface. D. The electricity.34. What is unique about Ma’s technique compared with earlier experiments?A. The water itself acts as an electrode.B. It is based on the triboelectric effect.C. It produces electricity from water-made friction.D. It uses a surface coated with two different materials.35. What does Oshman say about Ma’s technology?A. It has a promising future. B. It will do well on an umbrella.C. It works well in the real world. D. It will replace batteries someday.第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Supporting OthersWe’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 36 When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 37 In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional it can feel burdensome. 38 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying, “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing they’ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was to him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. 39 Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 40 This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.A. Walk alongside someone and make comments.B. Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends.C. Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.F. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way.G. Just be there, occasional while someone lets out their feeling. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。In college, we were required to do an act of kindness, including preparing lunch for an elderly person.

They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.注意:１． 续写词数应为150左右;２．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.Paragraph 1:Robert was fast sinking.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Thus,Robert’s life was saved.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 莆田一中2019-2020学年下学期期末考试试卷答案高二 英语听力 1-5 CABBC 6-10 ABCAB 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 CACAA阅读理解 21-23 BDA 24-27 BCBA 28-31 CDCB 32-35 DBAA 36-40 EFCDG完形填空 41-45 ACBDB 46-50 ACBCA 51-55 BDDCA 语法填空 56. equally 57. but 58. it 59. to drink 60. spirits 61. what 62. worse 63. if 64. sank 65. off 书面表达应用文Dear students,With the development electric products, an increasing number of students tend to use electric products for taking notes, rather than writing on the paper. As a consequence, our handwriting is not as good as it was in the past. To solve this problem, we should do as follows.Firstly, we should use less electric products while learning so that we can have more time to improve our handwriting. Additionally, it’s necessary that we form the habit of practicing calligraphy every day.Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to us students. Let’s take action right now! I’m convinced our efforts will eventually pay off.读后续写Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and at the risk of drowning himself, he brought Robert to the shore.Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil. 附1：听力原文Text 1W: Do you need anything specific from the grocery store while I am out? I won’t be back until dinner, so tell me now.M: I don’t need anything from the store, but can you stop by the cleaner’s to pick up my work suit? (1)Text 2M: Hi, I’d like to send this package to Chicago through express. (2)W: We have normal, fast, and same-day delivery. Normal delivery will get there by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, fast will arrive by 12:00 tomorrow, and same-day will get there tonight.M: Fast, please.Text 3 W: What would you like today? The same as last time, or something different?M: The same. Just take a little off the top. When you finish that, can you style it like the actor Tom Cruise? (3)Text 4W: Oh, no! Look at what I just did. I knocked over a glass. Can you help me clean this up? M: That’s the second glass this week. You are always falling down or breaking things. You need to pay more attention. (4)Text 5 W: Oh, look at you, you’re wet and covered in mud!M: Football was great today. Playing in the rain is so much fun.W: Rain may be great, but you had better wash up before your father comes home. Dinner will be ready soon. (5)Text 6 M: Are you trying to translate another Russian song? (6) The last one took you a week!W: Well, I’m getting a little faster. I’m halfway done, and it’s only been two days. (6)M: You should try a different approach to learning the language. (7)W: I’m already taking an online class. My teacher suggested this activity, because the students were having too much trouble reading books. She said translating songs will help both listening and reading abilities. (7) Do you have a better idea?M: The first time I studied Chinese, children’s cartoons helped me a lot. They usually have simple language that is often repeated, so I learned many words in that way.Text 7W: Why don’t we go fishing?M: I didn’t know you liked fishing. What would you like to catch?W: I’m not bothered, really. Big fish, small fish, no fish — I don’t care.M: No fish? We can stay at home and catch no fish.W: What I like most about fishing is just being there, next to the water, looking at a river or lake. It’s peaceful.M: How about going to the coast? (8) We could even go out in a boat and catch some big fish. The water should be calm today.W: I hope so. You know I suffer from sea sickness when there are a lot of waves. (8) (9)M: I think we’ll be OK. We don’t have to go far. It will be fun. (8)Text 8 W: So, how does it feel to be home?M: That’s a good question. On the one hand, I’m happy to be back. On the other hand, it feels different here.W: What do you mean? Nothing has changed here.M: I know. I mean I’m not the same person as I was before I left. Now, even though this is my hometown, I feel like I don’t have anything in common with anyone. (10)W: How so?M: Let me explain. Before I left, everyone was single. Now everyone has either got married or had children. (10)W: I thought you had a wife. (11)M: I have a girlfriend. (11)W: I see. So, how long are you back for? (12)M: I have a 14-day vacation, and then I have to go back. (12) However, once my one-year contract is over, I’ll probably come back.W: When will you be back next?M: I’m coming back for a business trip in three months.W: OK. Why don’t we get all our old friends together?M: Sure. It would be nice to see everyone again.Text 9 W: Have you heard the latest news about HS2? (14) It is going to cost a vast amount.M: Yes, and does the UK really need another high-speed railway line like HS2? (13) We have good roads and airports.W: I support it. The part they are building now looks good, but it will cost far too much. (14)M: I read somewhere that China might be asked to build the second part.W: That is a great idea. Look at the wonderful railways they have.M: The Chinese say they could build the line at a much lower price. (15)W: I’m sure they could. I bet they would do it quicker as well.M: I agree. Did you see the story about the hospital they built in a short time? That was amazing! (16)W: Projects in Britain always take so long. Planning takes years, and building takes years. People just want to be able to use it.M: I know. We could learn a lot from the Chinese. It wouldn’t worry me if they took over the railway job. (16)W: The only problem is the distance. China is a long way away.M: They do projects all over the world. Look at the Belt and Road. That won’t be a problem.W: Let’s hope they do it then.Text 10 Today, I’m going to talk about what one community is doing to save energy at present. The people of Davis, California have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by one-third since 1973. All new houses in Davis must make sure that the heat will not escape unnecessarily during the winter. New houses must also face north or south so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer. (18) The laws have had a definite effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50% decrease in the amount of natural gas and electricity used for heating and air-conditioning. There are other energy-saving features about Davis, too. Public buses transport university students throughout the area. There are 24 miles of bicycle paths. And today, there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the number of available parking spaces, the City Council has succeeded in reducing the number of cars in the city every day. (19) Another benefit of the reduced parking is the greater number of small cars. With the intention of saving gas, people are choosing not to drive or driving economical cars instead. (20) Davis has become an energy-saving model for other cities. Well, time is up for today. Next week, we’ll return to our regular topic of national energy alternatives.
