2015学年江苏东台三仓中学高二上期中英语试卷（带解析）

1. Does any of this sound familiar? “I’m too tall.” “I’m too short.” “I’m too fat.” Are you putting yourself down? If so, you’re not alone. As a teenager, you’re going through lots of changes in your body. As your body changes, so does your body image (意象). Body image is how you view your physical self — including whether you feel you’re attractive and whether others like your looks.
If you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are, even if you don’t fit some media “ideal”. This healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, becoming more independent from your parents and challenging yourself physically and mentally (精神上). Some people think they need to change how they look to feel good about themselves. But all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself. Here are some tips on doing these:
Recognize your body is your own, no matter what shape or size it comes in. Try to focus on how strong and healthy your body is and the things it can do, not on what’s wrong with it or what you feel you want to change about it.
Identify which aspects of your appearance you can change and which you can’t. Everyone has things that they can’t change and need to accept — like their height, for example, or their shoe size. So don’t forget that real people aren’t perfect and perfect people aren’t real.
If there are things about yourself you want to change and can, do this by setting a goal for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat healthily. Then follow the course of your progress until you reach your goal.

2. Imagine shopping for clothes online and being able to run your hand across the screen of your computer or smartphone to feel the materials. That kind of simulation (仿真) technology could be available within the next five years.
“We’re talking about reinventing how computers interact （互动）with humans,” said Bernie Meyerson, IBM Vice President. Extending our sense of touch is one of the innovations (创新) IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the company’s annual “Five in Five” list.
Smart machines will also be able to listen to the environment and highlight （强调；突出）the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing is not possible today, but with an advanced enough system, it’s actually possible.
In the near future, personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos.
Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze on your computer or cellphone, tiny sensors (传感器) in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules (分子) in your breath. “It can give you an alarm and says, ‘Hey, you are probably sick, go to see your doctor immediately,’” Meyerson says.
Mark Maloo is a computer science professor from Georgetown University. He hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a role in future innovations. He believes there’s little doubt that advances in computer technology over the next five years will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives.
【小题1】The purpose of the text is to show us

A．how smart machines will replace humans

B．what our lives will be like in the future

C．how to go shopping on the Internet

D．why IBM wants to invent these smart machines

【小题2】In the future, if you buy clothes online, you may      .

A．feel the materials of the clothes by touching the screen

B．ask your computer to give you some advice

C．ask your computer to make the decision for you

D．save a lot of money by using a smartphone

【小题3】How will a smart machine figure out that you are probably sick?

A．By analyzing the thousands of molecules in your breath.

B．By analyzing your comments about your body condition.

C．By referring your condition to doctors.

D．By asking you to describe how you feel.

3. Only about 30 percent of people in the US know how to perform CPR (心肺复苏术). Recently, a 9-year-old boy showed a Georgia woman how to perform CPR on her newborn baby.
Susanna Rohm said she had experienced a parent’s worst nightmare (噩梦) — her 2-month-old son, Isiah, was not breathing. “I noticed he looked pale. I looked at his arms and his legs and they were limp (无力的),” Rohm told a local newspaper. “Then I noticed that he looked like he wasn’t alive.” Indismay, she dropped and broke her cellphone. Rohm had to run into the street, screaming for help.
“I had him in my arms and screamed over and over. Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, ‘Go and ask your parents to call 911,’” Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, showing Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt helped as well.
Rocky said he had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking we’d better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared,” Ethan said. “I told her to push on the baby’s chest five to ten times a minute with only two fingers, tilt back the baby’s head, plug the baby’s nose and breathe into the baby’s mouth,” Ethan said in an interview.
At last, Isiah began crying and was breathing again. He spent two nights in a local hospital. “If the little boy hadn’t shown me what to do right there, my baby would probably not be alive right now,” Rohm said.
【小题1】We can learn from Paragraph 1 that in the US,      .

A．CPR is considered important by most people

B．most children are taught how to perform CPR

C．many parents don’t know how to perform CPR

D．kids must learn how to perform CPR on babies

【小题2】What does the underlined word “dismay” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Panic.	B．Anger.
C．Excitement.	D．Joy.

【小题3】What did Rohm do when she saw the two boys?

A．She asked them to call 911 as soon as possible.

B．She asked them to teach her how to perform CPR.

C．She asked them to ask their parents for help.

D．She asked them to help her perform CPR on her baby.

【小题4】What Rohm said in the last paragraph shows that she was      .

A．grateful	B．regretful
C．surprised	D．ashamed

4. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. I’ve learned that through my personal experiences. A few months ago, I woke up deaf in one ear. I did not pay much attention to it at first. It felt that I had water in my ear. However, I began to hear less and less out of that ear. I even had to ask people to talk into my other ear so that I could hear them. I didn’t realize how serious it was until late in the day (为时太晚). One evening, when I was sitting on my bed doing chemistry homework, I fell off my bed. When trying to get up, I was incredibly dizzy (头晕的).
I went to see a doctor and he told me that hearing loss was common. However, hearing loss is usually bilateral,or occurs in both ears. He said that my hearing should come back within a week. After about a week the dizziness eventually went away, but the hearing loss did not. The medicine helped and I gained some of my hearing back. After many hearing tests, the doctor diagnosed (诊断) that I had permanent hearing loss in that ear.
School became harder for me because I couldn’t hear my teachers. I was very depressed. Finally, I bought a hearing aid. With the hearing aid, my hearing is almost back to normal. It makes school and group conversations easier.
My friends, teachers and even complete strangers always ask me questions about hearing loss. I answer them patiently. I never get offended because I know this is new to them. I am delighted that I can teach them something new.
What I have learned from this particular situation is that when things are desperate（绝望的；急切的）, there is always something good that can come out of it. My experiences have given me an opportunity to teach people about hearing loss and also taught me about the value of hearing.

A．the author’s hearing loss was cured after the treatment

B．the author is unwilling to talk about his hearing loss with others

C．the author took some medicine to treat his hearing loss

D．the medicine that doctors gave him didn’t work at all
