Althoughyoung people have more choices nowadays than in the past, the test is still animportant, life changing event. That's why local authorities and parents have doneeverything possible to make sure the test goes smoothly.One measure taken lately is traffic control around examination sites. It aims tocreate a peaceful environment so that students taking the exam are not distracted.Some are willing to cooperate. They understand students are all under greatpressure. What's more, they say traffic control is just temporary. It doesn't last a verylong time. So, it's not a big deal.However, not everyone thinks so. Some people argue that the first and the mostimportant lesson students should learn before graduation is to respect other people'sinterests. It is not reasonable to disturb other people's lives for the Gaokao. Thesecond reason is that they think many parents are too sensitive to the Gaokao. One'sfuture depends on one’s self, not on society.1 綦江中学 2018-2019 学年 上期半期考试 高 2020 级英语试题 命题人 ：蓝晓红 审题人 ：彭彰勇 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分 30 分 ) 第一节 (共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分 ) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、 B、 C 三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup. Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face. “Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境 )—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was 5 fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard, however, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like?” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?” In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us. 24. Why did the girl complain to her father? A. Because of her father’s busy work. B. Because of her tiring job. C. Because of the food her father cooked. D. Because of her hard life. 25. Why did the girl’s father cook potatoes, eggs and coffee beans one day? A. Because he thought his daughter was hungry. B. Because he wanted to convey the importance of one’s attitude towards adversity. C. Because he wanted to show his daughter how to do cooking. D. Because he wanted to show his daughter the different physical characteristics of potatoes, eggs and coffee beans. 26. What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 4th paragraph? A. thick B. hard C. easily-broken D. strong 27. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Challenges and responses B. Father and daughter C. A chef and coffee beans D. Adversities and a chef C For most people, graduation means the end of years of hard work. But my graduation day was not. I still remember that weekend two years ago. Many families flew in from across the country to watch our class walk across that stage. But we had seen the economy turn from bad to worse in my senior year. We graduates with degrees, but very limited prospects (前途 ). I gathered up everything I couldn’t carry and put it into storage. Knowing the small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, I drove to Southern California to find work. But after I sent off a bunch of job applications, I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before. Now the day came for me to pay off my student loans(贷款 ). Every morning I woke up, I felt anxious. How I hoped what happened to me was just a bad dream! Days felt like weeks, weeks like months. I felt painful and helpless in those months. And the most discouraging part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress. So I began to write. Putting words on a page made everything seem a little brighter. And writing gave me hope. If you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need! I channeled my frustration(挫折 )into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero featuring a little fish who simply refused to give up on his dream. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree---just a lot of hard work and perseverance(毅力 )---I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to improve. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months 6 later, I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after. If you work hard and give it time, things will always get better. Even if things seem hopeless now, don’t give up. Usually, our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream. All we need is the courage to push beyond the river. 28. Many families got to the author’s school to __________. A. have fun at a school party B. attend the graduation ceremony C. check the economic situation D. watch performances given by students 29. What’s the author’s attitude towards the frustration? A. Scared B. Unconcerned C. Negative D. Positive 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The frustration the author had in his university B. The struggle the author had in choosing his career C. The suffering the author experienced while writing D. The difficult situation the author was in 31.What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A. All roads lead to Rome B. Where there is a will, there is a way C. Wisdom comes from experience D. You can’t get something for nothing D What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any especially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. 7 32.What is the passage mainly about? A. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths. B. The importance of working hard at school. C. How to face one’s weakness. D. The value of school work. 33.All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting EXCEPT ________. A. history B. mathematics C. English D. technical drawing 34.The writer thinks that a student’s part-time job is probably ________. A. a good way to find out his weak points B one of the best ways of earning extra money C. of great use for his work in the future D. a waste of time he could have spent on study 35.From the passage we learn that ________. A. when trying to find a job, you should ignore your weakness. B. a student whose school performance isn’t good may do well in his future work. C. a student who doesn’t study well can’t find a good job. D. there is no need for a student to study all the subjects well except his/her major. 第二节 七 选五 (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。选项中有两项是多余选项。 How to be a good roommate Roommate horror stories are pretty popular topics of conversation at school. Follow a few simple tips to ensure you’re not the awful roommate everyone’s talking about. Respect each other First and foremost, you need to respect your roommate. · 36 If your roommate is sleeping, keep the noise and light levels down. If your roommate is studying, don’t have loud conversations in the same room. If in doubt, ask yourself whether you would be annoyed if your roommate didn’t do the above things for you. ·Keep it clean. 37 Hair in the shower or bathrooms littered with magazines or dirty clothes. Respect means keeping your side of the room clean. And hopefully, if your roommate sees you keeping your side clean, they’ll be more likely to keep theirs clean. ·Keep your hands off their stuff. 38 If you really need to borrow something of theirs, always ask before you do. If they say no, don’t get angry. Some people just don’t like other people using their stuff. Set basic rules You and your roommate should establish some basic rules. For instance, I really don’t like it when people have phone conversations in the room while I am studying. 39 I’d rather be writing my paper than listening to you tell your best friend about your weekend. So discuss that with your roommate. Make a compromise, but the tie should go to the pers
