In 1919, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford went on their European honeymoon. The two international idols had divorced their previous spouses and were concerned about how they would be greeted. They needn’t have worried. In London their car was surrounded by admiring women who pulled Mary out of the car to shake her hand, still grateful after two years for her efforts selling war bonds (债券). In Paris they couldn’t get any sleep with crowds gathering below their hotel room to sing and play for them. In Amsterdam they attended a party and were mobbed by other guests who wanted to get close to them. The athletic Fairbanks placed his wife on his shoulder and escaped through the window. Finally, they found privacy in Hamburg, where their movies were not shown because of World War I. For an hour the famous newly-married couple walked on the streets unnoticed until bored Mary turned to her husband and said, “Doug, I’m sick of this. Let’s go back to one of those countries where they mob us.”Joan Crawford had similar feelings. Once in the 1930s she was staying in New York getting over her breakup with Clark Gable. Tired of staying around her hotel feeling so down, she told her entourage they should go out and get some fresh air. The entourage, who had trouble keeping up with the star’s quick pace, were shocked when she walked away from their planned road. “Oh my God. She’s going into Grand Central Station!” Someone shouted, “Look, it’s Joan Crawford! And she was mobbed.” It took them thirty minutes to escape the crowd and get back to their hotel suite. Her hair disheveled, her dress torn and her face scratched, Crawford leaned against the door out of breath. “Oh, oh my! That was wonderful. Let’s do it again!”24. What did Douglas and Mary worry about before going to Europe?A. Nobody would greet them.            B. They wouldn’t be welcomed.C. Their war bonds wouldn’t sell well.     D.

She fell ill after arriving in a new place.D. She didn’t really enjoy privacy so much.26. What did Joan Crawford think of her being mobbed in New York?A. Amusing.   B. Enjoyable.   C. Dangerous.   D. Embarrassing.27. What are the two stories intended to convey?A. Stars may feel down from time to time.B. Stars deserve people’s love and respect.C. Stars need both privacy and public attention.D. Stars are not always popular around the world.CEvery summer artists perform at Fringe (边缘) Festivals around the world. Fringe Festivals are a celebration of strange art. They have all kinds of performers—from dancers, musicians and actors to everything in between. The shows give artists a chance to create unusual art. For festival goers, each show is a time to experience something different.The first Fringe Festival was held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947. That was also the year of the first Edinburgh International Festival. Artists from around the world traveled to Scotland for the Edinburgh International Festival. They performed at arts centers throughout the city. Eight local theater companies did not receive an invitation, however. In response, they performed at smaller spaces around Edinburgh. These artists performed wherever they could, including churches and even on the street. They started their own cultural event and named it the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.What started as an alternative to the mainstream has now become the world's largest arts festival. Today, there are hundreds of Fringe Festivals taking place around the world. The one in Washington, D.C., called the Capital Fringe Festival, is in its tenth year. It was held in the month of July.Julianne Brienza founded the Capital Fringe Festival. She went to a school for the performing arts, but now sees herself mainly as an organizer of the festival. Brienza believes that fringe performance art is special and can have a powerful effect.The Capital Fringe Festival takes place in different locations throughout the D. C. area. Some performances happen in traditional theaters. Others happen in unusual settings like old, empty buildings or stores after business hours are over.Brienza says the purpose of Fringe festivals is to explore the limits of art in unique environments. Since 2006, the event has made more than $1. 7 million. It is the second largest Fringe Festival in the U. S. and its popularity has grown every year. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe continues throughout the month of August.28. Who may be interested in Fringe Festivals?A. Strange art lovers.  B. Professional artists.  C. Classical musicians.  D. Traditional culture supporters.29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Why Edinburgh became the global art center.B. How the first Fringe Festival came into being.C. When the Edinburgh International Festival was held.D. Where the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was celebrated.30. What can we know about the Capital Fringe Festival?A. It is the world's largest arts festival.     B. It has no fixed places for celebration.C. It can never be accepted by the public. D. It has a longer history than other festivals.31. Which of the following may Brienza probably agree about Fringe Festivals?A. They raise people's love of festivals. B. They limit the development of arts.C. Formal arts are looked down upon.     D. Chances are offered to unusual arts.DSome scientists have traced the increase in earthquakes, especially in areas not known for the presence of fault lines or past seismic（地震的）activity, to human actions. The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down as you want, and the ground isn't going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified a variety of large scale human activities that can result in earthquakes.Scientists have confirmed over 700 places where human activities have caused earthquakes over the last century. While many human-related earthquakes are mild and don't cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.Scientists believe most human-related earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth's surface to get natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability that leads to collapses that cause earthquakes. Another human activity leading to earthquakes is fracking (水力压裂) for oil and gas, including the high  pressure waste water processing that usually goes with fracking. In this process, water, sand and chemicals are pressed underground under high pressure to break rocks to release natural resources.Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80, 000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7. 9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line.These aren't the only human activities that can result in earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities, such as construction of skyscrapers and nuclear explosions.32. What does the underlined part "fault lines" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Regions with active human actions.     B. Places associated with natural balance.C. Zones where natural resources are rich. D. Areas where earthquakes tend to happen.33. What do mining and oil producing have in common?A. They break the balance of nature.     B. They destroy the stability of rocks.C. They use high pressure to get resources. D. They do much damage to Earth's surface.34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. The 2008 earthquake is the worst in history. B. Construction of dams should be stopped.C. Tons of water must cause earthquakes.     D. The location of a dam matters much.35. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Nature punishes humans by means of earthquakes. B. Progress has been made on earthquake research.C. Humans are to blame for some earthquakes. D. Earthquakes are no longer nature-made.第二节（共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go planned, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. __36__ They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience.

Farman's friends cheered when they saw it.It was understood that something as precious as a bicycle would be shared with everyone.Well，almost everyone.After a few days of watching Farhan and the village boys learning to ride，Aminah and her friends grew bitter.They spent afternoons on the hill just north of the village，sitting in the shade of a mango tree and watching the lazy stream flow at the foot of the hill.They could hear the boys cheering and laughing on the other side of the hill.“Why don’t they let us ride，Aminah？”asked Fatima.

He should share with her."An older sister commanded respect.As they talked, the boys' screams grew closer. Aminah looked up and saw her brother on his bicycle at the top of the hill. "Look!

The boys cheered as he began to speed up.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。Suddenly，Farhan lost control of the bicycle，heading in the direction of the girls，toward the stream.      Farhan looked at Aminah，then at his bicycle，then back at his sister.              中天高中2022-2023学年第二学期期中考试试卷高二英语参考答案一．听力1-20BCCAB/AACCA/CBBAA/BCCBB二．阅读理解21-23CDD 24-27BDBC 28-31ABBD 32-35DBDC36-40EADGB三．完形填空41-55BCDAB/ADCBC/ADBCD四．语法填空56-65Covering/based/copies/which/recognition/intelligent/a/It/wider/have grown五．应用文略
