　　The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of 36 they could find.

The 44 of the ship that had so 45 arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was the Ellen . What had brought her to the exact spot through the darkness and the pathless sea?

While I was thus 53 it,the same bird, for the third time, made its appearance and flew about in the same way as before. I was then 54 to change my course back to the original one. It had not gone far 55 I heard strange noises; and when I tried to make sure where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked.

　　阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项.

　　A

　　In the early part of the twentieth century, racism was widespread in the United States. Many African-Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson(1897-1993) was an African- American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at the Town Hall in New York City.

　　Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist(独唱者) to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as "heard only once in a hundred years". She was a US delegate(代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed(获得胜利) over racism.

　　56. According to this passage, what did Marian do between 1917 and 1929?

　　A. She studied at a music school.

　　B. She sang for religious activities.

　　A. at the Lincoln Memorial

　　B. in Washington DC

　　C. in Europe

　　D. at the United Nations

　　59. This passage shows that Anderson finally defeated racism in the US by ______ .

　　●Never give out identifying information such as Name, Home Address, School Name, or Telephone Number in a public message such as in a chat room or on bulletin boards. Never send a person your photograph without first checking with your parents.

　　●Never arrange a face-to-face meeting without telling your parents. If your parents agree to the meeting, make sure that you meet in a public place and have a parent with you.

　　●Remember that people online may not be who they seem. Because you can't see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. Thus someone who says that "she is a 12 year-old girl" could really be an old man.

　　●Be sure that you are dealing with someone that you and your parents know and trust before giving out any personal information about yourself through E-mail.

　　BBC ENGLISH

　　Learn English with the BBC

　　One of the best ways to learn a foreign language is to follow the method you use to learn your first language. As a child you hear the sounds of your own language and you repeat them. You see the written form of the language around you and little by little you are taught to link the two forms of the language. The BBC uses this method in many different ways.

　　English teaching radio programmes

　　With explanations in 37 languages as well as completely in English, these programmes are broadcast to most areas of the world from London and by some 300 overseas radio stations in more than 100 countries.

　　Courses of textbooks and audiocassettes

　　These audio courses are for people who wish to learn English at home or in the classroom. Although women mostly use the radio series, they can all be used for studying English from beginners' level to advanced.

　　Video courses

　　BBC English programmes have been broadcast successfully on television in more than 100 countries. They can also be purchased(购买) on video, with supporting textbooks and audiocassettes; they form complete courses for home study or teaching.

　　A magazine

　　The BBC English magazine is a bimonthly publication and is a companion to BBC English radio broadcast. It is written by the programme makers and includes programme details, practical home study exercises and features, as well as items of general interest from BBC programmes dealing with science, medicine, technology, etc.

　　English Language Summer School

　　This popular course for learners and teachers of English is held in London every summer.

　　For information on any of the above please write to:

　　While the twins receive some money from the government, the earnings from Reba's concerts go to AIDS and cancer charities (慈善机构).

　　The sisters have set goals for themselves. Reba looks forward to a successful career as a country singer, while Lori said she hopes to get married and have children of her own.

　　"I'm not the only woman at age 40 not to have children," Lori said. "So when it comes, it comes." Meanwhile, "I live wonderfully from day to day."

　　Many years from now, a group of people may board a spacecraft. They will head into space to live together in a new place, or colony. After a few days, they will arrive at their new home, a colony called L5 . L5 is the scientific name for the colony's position in space in relation to Earth and the moon.

　　At the L5 location, the force of gravity of the moon exactly balances the force of gravity of Earth. This balance keeps the space colony in a stable, or steady, orbit.

　　The colonists on L5 would feel weightless, as if they were floating. To solve this "floating people" problem, L5 spins in space. This spinning provides the colony with a force that feels like the pull of gravity. This force gives the colonists a feeling of having weight, just as gravity does on Earth,

　　Inside L5, colonists will see many of the sights they left behind on Earth. There is also much work to do. Some people will be busy providing everyday necessities for human life. Solar engineers will be building sun power stations. In these stations, the sun's energy will be collected, changed into another form of energy, and sent back to Earth. This source of energy could be one answer to Earth's future energy needs.

　　72. L5 will spin slowly to provide ______ .

　　A. a kind of gravity for the colony

　　B. another source of energy for the colony

　　C. protection for its colony

　　D. all above

　　73. L5 is a point located ______ .

　　A. half the distance between Earth and the moon

　　B. where the pull of the moon equals the pull of Earth

　　C. halfway between the moon and the sun

　　D. all away about the moon

　　74. L5 will get its name from its ______ .

　　A. position in space

　　B. unusual shape

　　C. source of power

　　D. usual shape

　　75. What problem on Earth may be solved by building solar power stations in space?

　　A. The energy shortage.

　　B. The need for more space.

　　C. Our need for gravity.

　　D. Our help for more room.

　　高二下学期期中测试题参考答案

　　第一部分:录音原文:

　　Part One You'll hear five dialogues. Listen carefully and choose the correct answer for each question.

　　1.W:What can I do for you?

　　M:Would you please pass me that book on the shelf? I want to buy one for my wife.

　　2.W:What's the latest news about Bill?

　　M:I talked to him last night on the phone. He said he was feeling better and would be back home tomorrow.

　　3.M:How old are you, Mary?

　　W:I'm 19.

　　M:And how old are your brothers and sisters?

　　W:My sister Sally is 19, too. We're twins. My brother Sam is 22 and my other brother Max is 15. Janet, my elder sister, is 29.

　　4.M:What about having a party this Sunday evening?

　　W:Where shall we have it?

　　M:In Tina's flat.

　　5.W:My car has never been running right since I bought it last month.

　　M:Why don't you turn to Bill for help. He's been a driver since I first knew him five years ago.

　　Part Two You'll hear a dialogue. Listen carefully, then choose the correct answer for each question.

　　M:Look, we must make some plans. We don't really want to drive four hundred miles to Edinburgh, do we? Why don't we fly? It only takes about an hour.

　　W:Because we must have the car when we're there. Anyway, it's only 378 miles from London actually.

　　M:Clever! But couldn't we travel around by train or bus? Why do we need the car?

　　W:Well, the point is, we'd have much more freedom if we had the car. And we could camp, which would be cheaper. Ken said they'd lend us their tent, because they're going back to that cottage in the Lakes.

　　M:In that case, we can put the car on the train.

　　W:No, we can't.

　　M:Why not? The thing is, if we drive all the way to Edinburgh, we'll be tired before we get there, and...

　　W:Look, let me explain. I'd love to travel on the sleeper, but it's too expensive for us.

　　M:Oh, well, I suppose you're right. We'll drive. Maybe we could stay a night in Newcastle on the way.

　　Part Three You'll hear a passage. Listen carefully and choose the correct answer for each question.

　　Thank you for calling the National Zoo, one of the most important animal parks in the world.It was first opened over a century ago in 1889 and today the collection contains around 3,000 animals, a number which is increasing all the time.We hope you will decide to visit us and now we'll give you some information to help you to find us and to find your way around when you get here.The zoo can be found in north-west Washington. It can be reached easily by public transport,by bicycle or by car. At weekends and holiday times spaces may be filled by 10:00 a.m. The zoo is open every day except Christmas day, and it's hard to believe, but entrance is free for both adults and children. The park is open from 8:00 a.m. and most of the buildings are open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Thank you for calling ,come and see us soon!

　　Part Four You'll hear a passage. Listen carefully and judge whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

　　E-mail is a new way of communication in the world. It is a means of "meeting" people with similar research interests or problems. E-mailers "write" letters on their computers, then send them through their telephone lines to another one far away who has got a computer. E-mail addresses, either names or numbers, allow mail to be sent to the right places. E-mailing is not a live conversation, but is unlike the usual mail service. Replies can be received at once or within hours, depending on how often the receiver checks his computer.

　　Sending e-mail is far cheaper than making long distance calls. In the past, when the telephone service became more convenient and effective, people made calls instead of writing letters. Now e-mail has brought people back to their grammar, vocabulary, and spelling as their fingers dance over the keyboard of their computer.

　　E-mailing brings people together and makes the world even smaller.

　　One possible version:

　　The Chinese people have been dreaming of going into space for a long time. In the years 1999 to 2002 China sent up three unmanned spacecrafts successfully. On Dec. 31,2002, the launch of the fourth space craft"Shenzhou IV" was another big success and the spacecraft returned to the earth safely on January 5,2003. During its flight, seven scientific experiments were carried out. The purpose of this flight is to make preparations for the launch of manned spacecraft next time. The successful launch and return shows that China is able to send a person into space. In 2003, the first manned spacecraft was launched on the fifteenth of Oct. 2003. The spacecraft spent 21 hours in circling the earth in orbit 21 times. Yang Liwei was the first Chinese astronaut. This successful flight shows that China is the third country in the world which has the ability to send up a manned spaceship into space.
