"You know I don' t want to put my family at risk, I don't want to put myself at risk to travel during a pandemic and go back to Pakistan, and even if I could delay the program for a year, it is not certain that I will get the visa again. "said a Pakistani student.Many students say they need to be in the US for more than attending class. As a PhD student, the library is an extremely important resource for them, although it is because of COVID that those services have been closed, which means even this advantage is gone. "You know more than 90% of the international students who were studying in the US when COVID -19 hit and college campuses were closed have to remain in the US and this creates such trouble in their lives and such uncertainty that is unreasonable.” said a lady from a university. Students outside the United States say the new ruling has disrupted their plans to return. "I know it is a fact that when it comes to rules, guidelines, laws and stuff like that, international students are sort of treated as low-level citizens. Even I can’t even use the word 'citizen' to begin with because that's what they make clear we are not." The government said that the policy speaks for itself and that online coursework is not worth a visa. So far, not any sign of change has been within sight. As students are waiting for the policy to improve , their fall programming and their future remain in limbo.24.Why would international students prefer to stay in the US during the pandemic?A.They couldn't delay the program for a year.B.They can make full use of the library resource.C.They can learn better with their classes moved onlineD.They wouldn't bring any potential threat to their family.25.What do students outside the United States think of the new rule?A.The new rule treats them as American citizens.B.

UnbelievableCDancing with your grandma for 15 minutes a week promotes positive feelings and improves her state of mind, a study claims. Doctors from Israel are encouraging younger family members to have a regular visit to their grandmas and have a dance with their grandmas.And they found a 15 minute boogie (布吉舞) once a week lifted the spirits of the elder family members and helped strengthen the familial bond. In fact, it is called Dance Movement Therapy (DMT). DMT across the generations, complete with eye contact, was found to promote positive feelings and improve spirits for the elderly.The grandparents reported a bright state of mind, happy memories and uplifted spirits. Dancing has also previously been linked to improved muscle strength, balance and endurance (耐力). For the grandchildren in the study, the weekly boogie changed how they view aging and allowed them to come to accept the eventual death of their elderly relatives.The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, assessed how dance affected general health of 16 dance movement therapists (治疗师) and their grandmothers. DMT was taken seriously due to the fact that it is easily accessible and does not cost more to practice. The researchers were eager to examine a low-cost method to treat issues commonly faced by an aging population— such as limited mobility and depression(抑郁症). Grandchildren were instructed to make eye contact and encourage playfulness and touch. They were also told to mirror their grandmothers’ movements and give them time and space to rest when needed.The sessions were recorded and then analyzed while diaries and interviews captured the opinions and feelings of the participants. As well as the benefits to the health of the senior, the experiment also changed the idea of the younger family members.28. What should the young people do when dancing with their grandmas? A. Follow the grandmas’ steps. B. Look at the grandmas’ eyes. C. Move the bodies as long as possible. D. Talk with their grandmas in gentle voice.29. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. Dancing brings the young happy memories and uplifted spirits. B. Dancing enables the senior to accept aging and death of their old relatives. C. Dancing benefits both the senior and the young in the new study. D. Dancing is linked to improved muscle strength and balance in the new study.30. Which of the following is the best advantage of DMT? A. Inexpensive. B. Relaxing. C. Attractive. D. Pleasant.31. What is the best title for the text? A. What does DMT Mean? B. Dancing: a Good Way to Stop Being Senior. C. Why Don’t You Dance 15 Minutes Every Week? D. Dancing with Grandparents is Good for Health and Family Ties.DAfter weeks of lockdown, the French are more eager than ever to get away from the breathless cities. But the busy traffic will also serve as a reminder of another annual summer trend here. The French have the unfortunate distinction of being the European champions(冠军) for abandoning pets that have become too cumbersome for their summer trips. Animal shelters up and down the country are evidence of this unique and sad tradition.Betty Loizeau has run a shelter just north of Toulouse for more than 20 years. “Owners call up to say where their pets can be found, or drop them off in boxes outside the shelter under the cover of darkness. The excuses they typically give are that they’re going on holiday, having a baby, moving house, or they have a new partner with allergies, .......” For shelters like this one, it is the busiest time of the year. Between 100,000 and 200,000 pets are abandoned in France each year, with 60% of these incidents occurring over the summer. The figure is close to 16.000 in the UK. “Pets are increasingly seen as an impulsive(冲动的) buy,” says Marina Chailland, a vet(兽医) who has studied the social relationship between the French and their pets. “A certain breed(品种) of cat or dog is fashionable and owners want one, just like a new smartphone,” she says. “Of course, when it goes out of fashion they desert it for an upgrade a couple of years later, when a new breed is considered fashionable.” She also points to the issue of pets being given as gifts as a reason why so many are abandoned. “Often parents will get pets for their children and when they grow up and lose interest in them, out goes the pet.” Over the summer, owners discover that hotels charge extra for animals or even ban them completely. This explains why you will often see frightened, lost, dogs wandering near freeway service stations or beach resorts.32. What does the underlined the word “cumbersome” in para. 1 refer to? A. Disturbing. B. Enjoyable. C. Boring. D. Impressive. 33. Which of the following is true according to the passage?In fact, the French don’t like pets at all.There are various excuses for people abandoning pets. Between 100,000 and 200,000 pets are abandoned in the UK each year.Pets are admitted into the hotel for free in summer.34. When is the busiest time for a pet shelter in France? A . In spring. B. In summer. C. In fall. D. In winter.35. Why does the author mention the smartphone in paragraph 5? A. To explain why the French abandon the pets. B .To explain how the French like a smartphone. C. To explain why the French dislike pets. D. To explain how costly a smartphone is in France.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Ways to Avoid Fighting with Your MomLife is a struggle, but if you have a bad relationship with your mother, you should cool your passion, because mother-children relationships are very important. 36 Don't give her the silent treatment.If you think that the silent treatment will always help you achieve a desirable result, then you're mistaken. 37 By all means, you should take immediate action to stop this cold war.Avoid deeply rude words.If you're quarreling with your mother, you should be careful with what you say to her.38 Although you'll apologize for your bad behavior, the words you've expressed and the feeling of hate will live in her heart forever.Don't draw other family members into a conflict.Say that you have a terrible habit of drawing your brother and dad into conflict between you and your mother. 39 As a result, small and unimportant mother-child fights will grow into long-lasting family conflict.

The dark night air was cold and a little wet, and the street lamp gave little light.Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned around and there stood a man in a large coat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very few parts of his face could be seen.Frank said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at this hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, he began following the stranger quickly.The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. About half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground on the other side of the wall.Paragraph 1:Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Frank couldn't just stand in the dark and wait.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2020下高二年级期末考试英语答案一、听力：1—5 BACBA 6—10 CCABC 11—15 ACBAB 16—20 ACCBA二、阅读：21-23 DDC 24-27 DBAC 28-31 BCAD 32-35 ABBA三、七选五：36-40 EDGFB四、完形填空： 41-45 ADBCC 46-50 DCDCA 51-55 DBABC五、语法填空：length 57. built While / Although / Though 59.completing that 61. of were made 63. increasingly 64. will become 65. more popular 六、写作参考范文:第一节Dear Mr Hall，I hear that you're not going to go back to your country in the coming winter vacation, so I'm writing to invite you to spend the Spring Festival on February 11th.It's traditionally a time for family reunion, so my parents and grandparents will all be there. We'll make dumplings together and have a big dinner, gathering around the table and praying for next year's good luck. We'll also play card games and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. You may even get a gift from my parents. I sincerely hope that you can accept my earnest invitation and can reply to me at your earliest convenience.Yours，Li Hua第二节Paragraph 1：Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do. Everyone living in this town knew that Oakfield House was filled with precious artwork worth millions of dollars. It was clear to Frank that the family sleeping inside was in great danger. Would the man have a weapon? Would he be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside? Frank's heart was racing with fear. He reached for his cellphone to call the police, but found it out of power. If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office, but it was too late． Paragraph 2：Frank couldn't just stand in the dark and wait. He had to do something，even if it meant risking his own life. At his feet he silently found several good-sized stones, and then he threw them with all his strength right at the windows of the house. The clatter woke up the people inside the house and a light came on upstairs. The big man froze, not quite knowing what had just happened. Lights came on everywhere in the house and within a minute the night was filled with the sounds of police sirens screaming toward Oakfield House． 七、阅读CD篇解析：C. 人与社会一生活一关心老人本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种关心老人的方法: 和老人跳舞。28. B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句，可知通过眼神交流，跨代人的舞蹈治疗能够促进老年人的积极情绪，改善心情，即要看着老人的眼睛，故答案为B。29. C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，每周的布吉舞给老人带来好的精神状态和美好回忆，而对于参与研究的孙辈来说，每周一次的布吉舞改变了他们对衰老的看法，让他们能够接受年长亲戚的最终死亡，因此AB说反了；根据第二句“previously”可知，舞蹈与改善的肌肉力量，平衡，耐力有关系是之前的研究，所以D错；而第三段告诉我们舞蹈给老人和年轻人都带来了好处，故答案为C。30. A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句，可知舞蹈运动疗法因其操作简便、成本低而受到重视，即便宜是这种疗法最大的优势，故答案为A。31. D 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，可知文章介绍了一种有效的关心祖父母的方法舞蹈治疗，这种方法有助于双方的健康，同时加深了家庭的纽带，故答案为D。D. 人与自然一人与动物一浪漫多责任少?法国“荣登”全欧宠物遗弃冠军国宝座本文是一篇说明文。经过几周的封锁法国人比以往任何时候都更渴望逃离这个令人窒息的城市。但繁忙的交通也会提醒人们这里每年夏天的另一个趋势。法国因抛弃宠物而荣登欧洲冠军，举国上下的动物收容所就证明了这个独特而悲伤的传统。32. A 猜测词义题。法国因抛弃宠物而荣登欧洲冠军，而这些宠物对他们的夏季旅行来说太麻烦了。举国上下的动物收容所就证明了这个独特而悲伤的传统。33. B 细节理解题。文章第二段最后一句可知，法国人遗弃宠物给出的借口很多：度假，生小孩，搬家，或者新伴侣对动物过敏等等……34. B细节理解题。文章第一段说宠物被遗弃是因为它们成了夏天外出旅行的法国人的“cumbersome”，举国上下的宠物避难所就是证据；第三段For shelters like this one, it is the busiest time of the year. ......with 60% of these incidents occurring over the summer. 60％的抛弃宠物事件发生在夏季; 最后一段又说夏天法国酒店额外收取宠物费甚至禁止携带宠物入住。综上细节可知，夏季是宠物避难所最繁忙的季节。35. A推理判断题。根据本段可知，饲养宠物就如人们对待新款手机一样，当一款手机过时的时候，人们就会换新款的手机，作者以手机作为类比，来说明法国人遗弃宠物的一个原因。八、听力原文：Text 1W: Today is Bastille Day, the French national holiday! M: I know, but I’m not French. I’m from Germany.

The Oscars are organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It is also known as “the Academy”. The Academy, which was started in 1927, is made up of people who work in the film business. The first Academy Awards presentation was held on May 16, 1929. (17) The famous golden Oscar statues represent the greatest honor that an actor or a filmmaker can achieve. 15 little statues were awarded, honoring artists, directors, and other participants in the filmmaking industry of the time, for their work during the 1927-1928 period. At the start, there were just 36 members, but now there are more than 6000. (18) These members decide who wins the Oscars. Everyone who wins an Oscar can become an Academy member. The most important Oscar is the Best Picture Award. (19) It is given to the best film of the year. Other important awards are for the best actor and the best actress. Today, up to 25 regular awards are presented for outstanding individual or group efforts of the year.
