1、浙江省嘉兴市 2019 学年高二下学期期末考试英语试卷 【含答案及解析】 姓名_ 班级_ 分数_ 题号一二三四五总分 得分 一、阅读理解 1. Pink has never been one of the favorite colors of the fashion industry,as its often seen as silly and not cool enough.But this spring,its having its moment in the spotlight,all thanks to the fact that the color is no longer all
2、about being girly and sweet.Instead,pink is taking on a new meaning of independence and power. This shift happened last month during the Womens March.Tens of thousands of women filled the streets of major cities in the US and in countries all around the world to protest(抗议) against the disrespect to
3、 women.What was unusual about the protests is that a lot of people taking part were wearing pink hats,making the streets appear like a “sea of pink“.Even though the hats were without any slogan(标语) ,their pink color is thought to have sent out a message that is louder than any words.“We women have p
4、ower and were not going to sit down and shut up,“ Aileen Gildea,one of the protesters in the US,told The Boston Globe. Now young people are changing their attitudes to pink.They are no longer trying to escape pink,but give new meanings to it instead. “Women who came before us .to be taken seriously
5、they had to get away from the symbols used to make women seem less capable.Younger women dont have that reaction.Theyre more interested in breaking and rebuild those symbols,“Audrey Gelman,a businesswoman in the US,told The Wall Street Journal. So sometimes its not the thing itself that needs to be
6、changed,but the way we look at it.And in the case of pink, what used to be seen as silly may be turned into something really serious. 1. In general,people tend to relate pink to_ . A. independence B. weakness C. power D. sadness 2. According to Aileen Gildea,what were their protests meant to convey?
7、 A. Women actually prefer pink to any other color. B. Women need to get away from those symbols of silliness. C. Women ought to have a bigger voice in society. D. Women should have the right to choose whatever colors. 3. The last paragraph implies that sometimes it is necessary to_ . A. change our t
8、raditional concepts B. show greater respect for women C. have doubts about the so-called “truth“ D. tell something silly from something serious 2. Recently,people in US education have gotten extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a math problem. The 2015 Program
9、 for International Student Assessment(评估) (PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their math,science and reading skills.About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in
10、the assessment in 2015. US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago,leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group.But the situation in math is much more worrying.The US average score was 470,be;ow the OECD(经合组 织) test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among
11、the 72 countries and areas.It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009.So,what is going on with American students math skills? One reason may be that the US does not teach math in enough depth.“Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United St
12、ates,“said Andreas Schleicher,director of education and skills at OECD.“But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties.“In comparison,many high-performing countries and regions in math teach a lot less but focus in much greater dept
13、h, especially when you look at East Asia,Japan and Singapore,according to Schleicher. Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices.“One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going
14、out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently,“said Wendy Kopp,who started Teach for America,in a news program. 1. When it comes to the 2015 PISA results,people in US education are more concerned about_ . A. the US average score B. the differences from the previous PISA C. American st
15、udents performance in math D. American students situation in science and reading skills 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. American students are not interested in simple math problems. B. American students are unwilling to go abroad for further study. C. American math teachers envy high-perfo
16、rming countries better teaching skills. D. American math teachers seldom teach students how to solve complicated problems. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To inform people of American students 2015 PISA results. B. To analyze the causes of American students problems with math. C. To s
17、tress the importance of learning math well to America students. D. To give American math teachers some advice on how to teach math. 3. Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters.They occur almost everywhere in the world,resulting in widespread damage and even death.Co
18、nsequently,scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods.So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions,from deep snow on the ground to human error,which cause flooding. When deep snow
19、melts it creates a large amount of water.Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding.If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet ground,flooding is more likely to occur than when the gro
20、und is not frozen.Frozen ground or ground that is very wet cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams. Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding.When ice begins to melt,the surface of the ice
21、cracks and breaks into large pieces.These pieces of ice move and float down the river,They can form a dam in the river,causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream.If the dam breaks suddenly,then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too
22、. Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding.When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it,the results can be devastating .Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breaks occur,the great force of the water is
23、like a great tidal wave.The dam waters can travel tens of kilometres,cover the ground in metres of mud and litter,and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path. Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur,they do know a great deal about when floods are proba
