洛阳市2015-2016学年第一学期期末考试高二英语(二)
It was my first day back home since starting college. A lot had changed in the last year. Not with my hometown but with me. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult; I had a driver’s license. So here I was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recognition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I’m thirsty. Let’s go for a beer.” It was the first time I’d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.
He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer? Well I guess you’re old enough now. Let’s go to Sailors’ Bar. It’s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?”
I had only some vague recollection of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family --- always in trouble. We didn’t talk about him much. “What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven’t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar.
“Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said mournfully. As a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on the condition he returned home.
My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn’t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn’t resist. He was at Sailors’ Bar almost every night. His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after.
“What ruined him was alcohol. He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it’ll end. ‘So’, Tom warned me, ‘beware of your first drink!’
“He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.”
Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors’ Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let’s go in,” he said. But I understood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I’m not thirsty anymore, Dad. Let’s go home.”
46. Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?
A. Because he was thirsty.
B. Because he missed his father.
C. Because he wanted to show he was an adult.
D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom.
47. What was the main source of Uncle Tom’s problems?

B. entertain the son while they walked to the bar
C. recall an interesting period in the father’s life
D. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking

I was going to Paris, which I’d always wanted to see. But now I was frightened to travel alone. I arrived at the train station in Paris. I hadn’t spoken my college French for twenty years. On my first metro ride, I came across an incompetent(不胜任的)thief. I just stared at him, and he stopped his hand from my purse and disappeared into the crowd. Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren’t easy to find. When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily, and I was sweating like a basketball player. I couldn’t stay. Could I? The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire. The bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building. Welcome to Paris. I sincerely wanted to die. I missed my friends. I was entering my third week away from home and my kids, and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and frightened.
The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment. I knew that if I didn’t go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this small room my entire time in Paris. I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual. So I went out. Evening in Paris was light and pleasant. I walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain. No one seemed to be in a hurry. Paris was beautiful. And I was here alone and suddenly not lonely. My sense of accomplishment overcoming my fear and weakness had left me feeling free. I wore out two pairs of shoes during my week’s stay in Paris. I did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation. I returned home, becoming a believer in the power of traveling alone. Now when I meet difficulties I just say to myself, “If I can go to Paris, I can go anywhere.”

Playing the piano may seem like nothing special to you, but what about playing it on fruits instead of piano keys? Lin Hai, a 24-year-old graduate, did exactly that, as he made an electronic board by himself. Wearing thick glasses and a simple T-shirt, Lin looks no different to other engineering students. But under his plain appearance lies a true geek(极客)heart.
When Lin was little, he loved disassembling things to look at how they work. Even though he often failed at putting them back together, his curiosity was never satisfied and he laid hands on everything, except computers. “My parents told me not to disassemble computers because they’re expensive, so I researched the software instead,” says Lin. When he went to university, Lin chose a subject that was related to engineering and programming.
Lin is a typical geek who often spends days in the laboratory inventing new things. His most successful invention is an electronic board he calls “Crazyer”, the one that turns bananas into piano keys. Lin’s Crazyer electronic board was inspired by a similar device built by two PhD students at MIT. Their device is called Makey Makey, which turns everyday objects into touchpads.
Having seen a video, Lin was so impressed by the device that he searched for its website in the hope of buying one. But he found it’s not for sale. For most people, the story would have ended there. But for Lin, it was about to begin: “Why not make my own Makey Makey?” he thought. So he studied the video and website, trying to figure out how it worked. “I found that the mechanism Makey Makey is based on what was similar to that of the electronic lock I built before.” says Lin.
From watching the video to building an electronic board and writing a program for it, Lin spent an entire month bringing Crazyer to life. His hard work paid off. With the money he earns from selling Crazyer, Lin can give back to society. Lin has helped many disabled people by building customized Crazyer boards for them. Another benefit is that the money he earns can support Lin in inventing new things. Lin’s geek spirit is always striving toward new goals.
56. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Lin has attractive appearance and wise head.
B. Lin made his invention on his own.
C. Lin is a little different from other engineering students.
D. Lin’s good at playing the piano.
57. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word
“disassemble”?
A. look through
B. search into
C. take apart
D. focus on
58. From the passage, we can know that________________.
A. “Crazyer” is the most successful invention in Lin’s school.
B. Lin got inspiration for inventing “Crazyer” from others.
C. “Crazyer” works in the same way as Makey Makey.
D. Lin copied the idea of two PhD students at MIT.
59. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Lin’s invention did good to himself as well as others.
B. Lin made a lot of money from selling his invention.
C. Lin will stop inventing new things in the future.
D. Lin’s invention “Crazyer” is designed for disabled people.
60. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. No pains, no gains.
B. Once a geek, always a geek.
C. Great minds think alike.
D. Geek spirit brings great benefits.
D
Characters in novels don’t always do what the writer wants them to do. Sometimes they cause trouble, take on lives of their own, or even work against the writer. It’s not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children’s novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he’d finished his first version, he threw it away and started again.
Of course it’s not the characters’ fault. The problem lies with the author. Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. “It is definitely harder,” King said. “When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.”
This is also true for characters’ ages, added King. “When you have small children, it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time. But your kids grow up. It’s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.”
For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there’s one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: boredom. “I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon,” she says. “She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her. You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with, but I don’t think you can write a book about a character who bores you.”
According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest. “I think I struggled because it’s difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath’s is, without making that feature define him,” Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues, arguing that “when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”.
“That is a fantastic thing to happen,” Mukherjee says, “I celebrate it. It is one of the great, lucky gifts given to a writer.”
61. What can we infer about Steven King’s book Carrie?
A. It was his most difficult book to write.
B. It was the first successful novel King wrote.
C. There were few children featured in the story.
D. Some of its main characters were working class.
62. Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister
Noon?
A. She disagreed with the character’s attitudes.
B. The age difference between the two was too large.
C. She found the character very uninteresting.
D. The historical setting made accuracy difficult.
63. Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ________.
A. are a sign that the story is not realistic
B. are often the most interesting
C. should be praised by all authors
D. need to be researched more thoroughly
64. The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probably _________.
A. famous and successful B. unknown to the readers
C. all from the same country D. just starting their writing careers
65. In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage?
A. Careers. B. Culture.
C. Advice column. D. Lifestyle.

B. The Letter
The murder of a television star appears to be the work of thieves who are quickly caught. But they escape from prison and a young lawyer says she knows who the real criminals are. Written with intelligence, this story is so fast-moving that it demands the reader’s complete attention.
C. London Alive

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
During an official visit to the Maldives on September 15th, President Xi Jinping stated that Chinese tourists should be better behaved when travelling abroad.
“Our citizens should be educated to behave in a civilized way when travelling abroad. Do not throw water bottles everywhere. Do not damage coral reefs. Eat more sea food and less instant noodles. Spend more to help local economies grow,” Xi said to great laughter and applause from the audience.
Chinese tourism abroad has grown rapidly. It is reported that 100 million citizens travelled abroad last year, and that number is expected to double by 2020 as individual wealth grows along with the economy.
Yet the awareness of proper manners has not grown as fast as the number of tourists. Some Chinese tourists have been heavily criticized in recent years for misbehaving while travelling abroad, for reasons such as being noisy, jumping queues and damaging cultural relics. Recently, incidents like Chinese tourists drawing graffiti (涂鸦) in an ancient Egyptian temple have severely damaged the image of Chinese holidaymakers.
In response, the Chinese government has made great efforts to educate Chinese tourists on appropriate behavior when travelling both abroad and within China.
