Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in
2018-2019学年度上学期期中考试高二级英语试题第12页共12页
which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
14. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?
A. Go shopping. B. Find a house.
C. Join his family. D. Take a vacation.
15. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.
A. a friend of his family B. a Sydney policeman
C. a letter in his papers D. a stranger in Sydney
16. What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Showed. B. Sent out. C. Delivered. D. Gave back.
17. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. From India to Australia. B. Living in a New Country.
C. Turning Trash to Treasure. D. In Search of New Friends.
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
18. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
2018-2019学年度上学期期中考试高二级英语试题第12页共12页
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.
19. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison D. using examples
20. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
21. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.
22. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?
A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.
D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.

25. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A TV interview. B. A food advertisement.
C. A health report. D. A book review.

I am writing to ask for an English editor of our school broadcasting station. I am qualified for the position for the following reasons. First, I have a good command of English communication skills and take great interest in journalism. Second, I was a part-time reporter in junior middle school, which developed my communication and interpersonal skills. In addition, my father is a professional editor, by whom I have been deeply influenced and from whom I have learned a lot.
I really hope I will be one of you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,

(Text 1)
W: I really think if I can get my foot in the door at this company it will do wonders for my career. Do you think you can polish my interview materials?
M: Sure.
W: You know, I’ve researched the company and I think I’m perfect for the job but I’m just not sure how to get it.
M: Well, the most important thing is that you have to have confidence in the interview. Bosses look for people who are interested, enthusiastic and sure of themselves.
W: I know I have what it takes, but I’m worried that my work experience won’t be enough. Do you think I should lie about my experience?
M: No, you should always be honest about your weaknesses. However, by focusing on your strong points and keeping a positive attitude about your abilities, you can take the attention off your lack of experience.
Questions:
1. What does the woman want the man to do?
2. What does the man think is the most important in an interview?

November 11 is now the world’s largest online shopping day. On November 11, 2014, the country’s biggest online shopping company, Alibaba, had more than 35 million yuan in sales—a worldwide record for a single day.
Alibaba, which owns Taobao and Tmall, first set up the unofficial holiday five years ago. The company realized single people might find comfort and happiness in buying electronic equipment and other products online. Soon, just about everyone else did, too. Now November 11 has become the most important day in a year for shoppers, whether they are single or married.

At the same time, Chinese are also doing an increasing amount of shopping on their mobile phones, which is not surprising considering the increasing sales of smart phones. In the first hour of sales, from midnight to 1 am, Alibaba said 24 percent of the orders came from smart phones.
Chinese customers are expected to spend 290 million dollars in online shopping. Bain, a global consulting company, expects online shopping in China to grow at a rate of 32 percent from 2014 to 2014. “Chinese customers are bargain hunters, and that is what is driving the success of November 11,” said Serge Hoffmann, a partner at Bain in Hong Kong.
Questions:
3. How many orders came from smart phones in the first hour of sales that day?
4. What is Bain?

W: HI, Bob, is everything okay?
M: More or less. There is just one thing bothering me, though.
W: Oh? What’s that?
M: Well, I have some students studying for their master’s degree. One of them tried to give me a gift, which made me uneasy.
W: What gift?
M: It’s an Egyptian carpet. The student came to my home a week ago, yeah, last Saturday, and brought the carpet to show his thanks. Seeing what kind of gift it was, I was really uncomfortable. I mean it’s too expensive a gift for a student to give a professor, so I refused it.
W: You refused the gift? That’s terrible.
M: I know, but I really can’t accept such an expensive gift. I explained to him why, but he seemed really upset about it. I think he might have taken it the wrong way.
W: Perhaps. He probably thinks you considered the gift a bridge for a higher grade.
M: That’s what I am worried about. I do understand the respect attached with the gift and I am honored. But I think we need to have a talk to make sure we are on the same page.
Questions:
5. What made the man uneasy?
6. How did the student feel after the man explained to him?
(Text 4)
My mother told me I had been weak in hearing at the age of 5. Putting on hearing aids in the morning was just as normal as brushing my teeth. However, I never believed that it should limit my success in any way.
I have been looked down upon because of my hearing disability. My head teacher told my parents I belonged in a school for the deaf. My classmates told me something was wrong with my brain. People speak louder than usual when they see my hearing aids in my ears. However, my hearing disability has made me a stronger person. I have had to work harder and achieve better grades in school than other students in order to earn the respect of my teachers. In sports, I have had to run faster, hit harder, catch
