A．$499 　B．$299 C．$199 D．$99 B At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?” 4. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. He had good sight. B. He made a great invention. C. He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot from school. 5. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story? A. Angry. B. Impatient. C. Sympathetic. D. Encouraging. 6. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The disabled should be treated with respect. B. A teacher can open up a new world to students. C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. C According to the Global Times, it is reported that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed. “Are you drunk ？ ” asked one parent. In another similar video, shot by a Shanxi TV station, a father responded even less patiently — “I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap.” Why don't Chinese families use those words? Theories revolve around the nature of Confucian teaching. “ The parents' responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions，” Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. “They are used to educating children with negative language.” This isn't the first time that China has done some soul­searching about familial love — last year China Daily asked a cross­section of people if they said “I love you” to their parents, spouses, and children. “I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family, and I don't think I will in the future，” one 56 ­year­old man told the paper.“Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.” Still, that doesn't mean that love can't be expressed. In a separate article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31­year­old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face­to­face (“I find it a bit odd”). Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays in June 2012. The pictures went viral online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo. “I didn't sleep the night I heard about it，” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention. “I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.” 7．What can we infer from the text? A．It is not direct for Chinese families to say “I love you”． B．Chinese parents are too proud to express “I love you”． C．Chinese parents are good at expressing positive emotions. D．Young parents in China are willing to express “I love you”． 8．Why don't Chinese parents express “I love you” to their children? A．Because they can't express it. B．Because they are not in the habit of expressing so. C．Because they think it unnecessary. D．Because they think it should be done only among young couples. 9．Zhao Mengmeng expressed “I love you” to her father by ________. A．giving him an album containing their photos B．kissing her father's face and telling him by words C．speaking it out bravely in a TV program D．writing out the three words in a letter 10．What's the author's attitude toward the statements about “I love you”？ A．Opposed.　 B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Indifferent. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。 A good training partner can be a great asset (有用的人) to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one, it could lead you down the road to frustration. __11__ Here are a few things to look out for： Dependable.

Yours Li Hua 第二节 概要写作 （满分 25 分） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。 Are you shy？If you are，you are not alone. In fact，close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days，shyness is becoming more and more common. Now，scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Is it possible to be born shy？Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly，these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result，scientists think that some shyness is genetic. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result，they became shy. At the same time，children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone， they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families. You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries，they found surprising differences. In Japan，most people said they were shy. But in Israel，only one of three people said so. What explains the difference？One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan，when people do not succeed，they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel，the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons，such as family，teachers，friends，or bad luck. In Israel，freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy. For shy people，it can be difficult to make friends，speak in class，and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget—if you are shy，you are not the only one. 2019～2020 学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷 答案 A：BDB B：BDC C：ABAC 七选五 CFEAG 完形填空 CBCDD DACCB CDADA DBABD 语法填空 is; moved; the; owned; from; but; that/which; to accept; happily; players 应用文写作： Dear Wang Dong, It’s really my pleasure to make friends with you. I’m Zhao Gang and I’m 17 years old. I like playing football and reading. I’m good at writing and playing the piano. But I really want to be a journalist after graduating from university. To get good marks, firstly, think listening carefully in class is most important. Then we should ask the teacher questions we have in time.

And I’ll show you our school and my favorite books. Also I can play a piece of piano music for you. 　　Looking forward to your letter. 　　 　 　 Yours, 　 　Li Hua 概要写作 Shyness is common and some reasons may account for it according to scientists. They think shyness may come from genetics，family size and birth place. For instance，younger children or the only child are more likely to be shy；Israelis are less shy than Japanese because of their different attitudes towards failure. To help people suffering from shyness，scientists also give some useful suggestions.
