He was known for making movies that offered sharp social comment. Wilder was one of the first directors to do this. Between the middle l930s and the l980s, Billy Wilder made almost fifty movies. During that time he received more than twenty nominations(提名)from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He won six of the Oscar awards.

In l950, Wilder made Sunset Boulevard. This movie told of an aging actress in silent movies. She plans to return to movies though facing many problems.

On February 14, people look forward to getting cards from friends-cards that say, “Will you be my Valentine?” Did you ever wonder why? And what does that even mean?

As i t turns out, people have been celebrating Valentine’s Day for centuries, in one form or another. In fact, historians say it may begin with a Roman holiday that goes back more than 2,000 years. They say Valentine’s Day has its roots in an agricultural festival called the Feast of Lupercalia—a festival that was celebrated every year on February 14, just as Valentine’s Day is today.

Around 500 A.D., a Roman Catholic Pope named Gelasius decided to replace the Feast of Lupercalia with a Christian festival. So February 14 became a day to honor Saint Valentine. Why?

According to legend, Saint Valentine had been thrown in prison several centuries earlier for disobeying a Roman emperor. The legend says that while Saint Valentine was in prison, he fell in love with the jailor’s daughter and sent her a note he signed, “From your valentine.”

That’s supposedly where the tradition of sending Valentines began. The Saint Valentine’s Day celebration eventually spread to France, England and other countries.

At first, people used to exchange hand-written notes with their Valentines. But in the 1840s, a woman named Esther Howland created the first commercially produced Valentine’s Day greeting cards in the United States. Nowadays, according to one report, more people send cards to friends around Valentine’s Day than on any other holiday except Christmas. Today, Valentine’s Day is no longer a religious holiday. It’s just a day to show your friends you appreciate them. Chocolate and flowers are among the most common ways people show that appreciation. In fact, the people who keep track of chocolate sales say that more than $1 billion worth is sold around Valentine’s Day.

And according to the National Retail Federation, people will spend $2.1 billion this year on flowers. But you do n’t have to buy anything for your Valentine. A home-made card is just fine. After all, it’s the thought that counts.

25. The writer uses several questions in the first paragraph in order to ______.

A. highlight the importance of festivals

B. lead to the topic of Valentine’s Day

C. criticize the customs of celebrating festivals

D. tell people how to celebrate Valentine’s Day

26. What does the second paragraph tell us?

A. The Feast of Lupercalia was celebrated every year before February 14.

B. Valentine’s Day begins with an American holiday over 2,000 years ago.

C. According to historians, Valentine’s Day is rooted in an agricultural festival.

D. Around 500 A.D, a Christian festival was replaced with the Feast of Lupercalia.

27. The und erlined word “legend” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A. a famous person admired for being extremely good

B. an old, well-known story about magical events

C. an interesting note written by a famous person

D. a computer produced a long time ago

C

Winter is a very special time in Northern Norway. Winter also means skiing, and Narvik can offer some of the best skiing in Norway. The view and light change frequently and no two days are the same. For many people, the northern lights are an unforgettable sight, and in Narvik the sky is especially clear and great for watching at night.

The tourist season lasts from February to April, although May can be fascinating too, often with fantastic dry snow and an unbelievable light lasting well into the evening.

Ski hire

Cross-country skiing

Off-piste skiing（非场地滑雪）

In order to explore Narvik’s off-piste opportunities, you need to know the dangers when choosing routes. It is suggested that you bring necessary equipment such as a shovel （雪铲）and a GPS locator. Ask Narvikfjellet for an experienced guide. With a guide, you can explore Narvik’s special off-piste areas in a safe manner.

Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason fo r some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.

A person can be irradiated(辐射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

32. How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A. By damaging its heart.

B. By killing a few cells.

C. By hitting any place in its body.

D. By killing many cells in important organs.

33. The word “deformed” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning to _________ .

A. unnatural

B. normal

C. usual

D. proper

34. What can we infer from the passage?

A. We can’t detect radioactivity even with modern equipment.

B. Only radiation at very high levels can kill an animal or human being.

C. If a few cells are only damaged, healthy cells will take the place of dead ones.

D. Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is.

35. What’s the author’s main purpose in wri ting this passage?

A. Discussing the cause of cancer.

B. Solving the mystery about radiation.

C. Emphasizing the importance of protection of radiation.

D. Introducing the nuclear power.

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。

Getting older

No one really knows how and why people change as they get older. 36 . Aging is a complex and varied process that varies in how it affects different people and organs. In fact, e ven in one person, different organ systems “age” at different rate.

At a certain point in our lives our body systems will begin to weaken. 37 . It may become more difficult for us to see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives.

38 . A good diet plays an important role. The amount and the type of exercise we get are another two factors. 39 . But scientists studying the aging problem want to know: Why do people grow old? They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer.

40 . Many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living. Physical activity may become less, but often we get better understanding of the world and ourselves.

What we consider the old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon who knows, with so many advances in medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in centuries, rather than in years!

A. Our living condition is yet another.

B. Many factors decide our health.

C. Our strength may become weaker.

D. As for diet, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.

E. There is nothing to be afraid of as the old age comes.

F. Symptoms include a lack of energy, slow reactions and poor memory.

G. Also, no theory sufficiently explains all the changes of the aging process

Like most creatures on earth, humans come with a circadian clock (生物钟). Even though an average adult needs eight hours of 41 a night, there are "short sleepers", who need far 42 sleep, and morning people, who always get up early. Then there are the rest of us, who 43 alarm clocks to get up in the morning.

For those who want to get up early and don’t depend on the alarm clock, there is 44 . Actually, sleep experts say that with a little self-control, 45 people can reset (重置) their circadian clocks. But it's no t as simple as forcing yourself to go to 46 earlier. You need to produce a sort of jet lag (时差) but you don't have to 47 your time zone. And stick it out until your body 48 resets itself.

To start, move up your wake-up time 49 20 minutes a day. If you 50 rise at 8 a. m. , but really want to get up at 6 a. m. , set the alarm for 7:40 on Monday. The next day, set it for 7:20 and so on. 51 , after you wake up, don't 52 in bed. In theory, you'll gradually get 53 about 20 minutes earlier each night. Besid es, 54 has a very special relationship with our brain. So turn off the computers and televisions to 55 extra light exposure as it is near bedtime.

56 light exposure, another big 57 for a would-be morning person is the weekend. Sleeping late on Saturday sends the 58 an entirely new set of scheduling. By Monday, a 6 a.m. alarm will feel like 4 a.m. 59 biology has a kind of memory of Saturday's staying-up late. This might totally 60 a week's effort.

41. A. rest B. sleep C. exercise D. work

42. A. deeper B. longer C. more D. less

43. A. focus on B. believe in C. rely on D. set in

44. A. hope B. doubt C. difficulty D. support

45. A. other B. most C. few D. no

46. A. school B. church C. work D. bed

47. A. count B. abandon C. leave D. forget

48. A. shape B. clock C. building D. language

49. A. for B. with C. by D. to

50. A. rarely B. regularly C. constantly D. temporarily

51. A. Otherwise B. However C. Therefore D. Then

52. A. sleep B. eat C. stay D. read

第二节语法填空(共l0小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Below, we share some research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals.

Choose a goal that 61 (matter), not just easy win.

A meaningful goal — 62 that truly inspires you to change — requires going deeper. Think about what you want in the coming year, then ask __63___(you) why you want that. For example, if you want to quit 64 (smoke), ask why you want to quit? Then,

if you want to quit for your health, ask why do you want good health?

Set up your goals positively.

How you describe your goal makes a big difference. Focusing on what you want to bring into your life —not what you want to avoid —will make you more likely to___65__ (actual) struggle for it.

Prepare for failures (in a good way).

Moments of failure can’t 66 (avoid), but most of us give up the goal entirely when slight ___67__(failure) become more and more. The moment you fail, often the first instinct (本能) is to push the goal away. It’s so uncomfortable to be in that condition of being 68 (guilt) and doubtful.

Your task is not to avoid failures, 69 to plan for them. For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack with you.

70 conclusion, wise choices and full preparations are reliable measures to reach our goals.

I recently took an eye examination and the doctor told me that I have to wear glasses all the time. He also told me not to read in poor light because of it would be bad for my eye. It’s August now or the new term is about to start. I’m quite nervously about wearing glasses to school, because it will be first time for my friends to see me wearing glasses.

Text 10

M: Mr. Grey was the manager of a small office in London. He lived in the country, and came to work by train. He liked walking from the station to his office unless it was raining, because it gave him some exercise.

One morning he was walking along the street when a stranger stopped him and said to him, “You may not remember me, Sir, but several years ago I came to London without

a penny in my pockets. I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money,

and you lent me five pounds, because you said you were willing to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the way to success.”

Mr. Grey thought for a few minutes and then said, “Yes, I remember you. Go on

with your story.”“Well,” answered the stranger, “are you still willing to take a chance?”

2018年秋高二英语期中试题学生卷

高二英语期中考试题 一、阅读理解（共5大题；每小题2分，共40分） A On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man. The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever. Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim（认领）it soon." After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it's you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here." The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr. George Sang?" The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?" "It's a lottery ticket （彩票）," said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang's name was seen. "Is it?" he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist. The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, "At that time you needed money to pay the tuition （学费）and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn't you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?" The violinist said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever." Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us. 1.What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday? A. He walked around the New York railway station. B. He waited for the train to Vienna. C. He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna. D. He played the violin to make some money. 2.Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper? A. The hat belonged to George Sang.
