湖北省武汉市黄陂区2016-2017学年高二英语寒假作业试题第一天英语作业1.阅读理解in the us and britain, the slogan around colleges was “save water. shower with a friend.” now, wuhan university has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. it charges students for the amount of time in a shower. before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student id card. the clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. it pauses when a button is pressed for soap. an integrated circuit(ic) card reader at each tap shows the time. no money, no water. the benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. the university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. some might be embarrassed if their time is up and theyre still covered in soap. they have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“its a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the id card,” said ren, a freshman in wuhan university. the university is also considering some students suggestions that they be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower. not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. but many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “in my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said dai zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.a similar system has been installed in other universities. shanghai normal university introduced it at its fengxiang campus in september. the bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. one male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.25the underline word “flaw” (paragraph3) most probably means_.a. perfection b. fault c. pity d. advantage 26since the new system has performed, _ of water can be saved.a. one half b. one third c. a quarter d. two thirds27it can be inferred from the passage that_.a. the new operation can solve the water crisis.b. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.c. a similar operation has been set in other universities.d. the new operation can raise students environmental awareness system.28in which column can you find this passage?a. people. b. society c. campus life. d. lifestyle2.填词 if you had no arms and no legs, would you be able to swim, use a computer and go fishing? you might think

roof. then they began to develop the solar roadway. the solar roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. they predict that the solar roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the solar roadways. each solar road panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. the inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. the top of the solar road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need. according to the inventors, the solar roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved solar road panels in their parking lots. the inventors say their solar roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. the federal highway administration has given brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring . 24. in the inventors opinion, the solar roadway _. a. is too expensive to build at present b. will bring them a large sum of money c. can provide as many data as present computers d. costs no more money than current roads25. the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _. a. the panelsb. the vehiclesc. the researchersd. the inventors26. it can be inferred from the text that _. a. the solar roadway is not available for gas-powered cars b. $100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lot c. the solar roadway has already been put into use d. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere27. what can be the best title for the text? a. the influence the solar roadway has on people b. the great changes on the roadway c. solar-powered smart road of the future d. the solar road a much faster roadb ask most people how they define the american dream and chances are theyll say, “success.” the dream of individual opportunity has been home in american since europeans discovered a “new world” in the western hemisphere. early immigrants like hector st. jean de crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. his glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many european readers: in letters from an american farmer (1782) he wrote. “we are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的) and unlimited, because each person works for himself we have no princes, for whom we toil (干苦力活)，starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world.” the promise of a land where “the rewards of a mans industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” drew poor immigrants from europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories. we americans have heard many illustrations of the american success stories. theres benjamin franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. in the nineteenth century, horatio alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became americans best-selling author with rags-to-riches tales. the conception of success haunts us: we spend million every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” the myth of success has even affected our personal relationships: today its as important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business. but dreams easily turn into nightmares. every american who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success inevitably implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the “right” neighborhoods, wear the “right” clothes, eat the “right” foods. these symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all, yet work as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens. 28. what is the essence of the american dream according to crevecoeur? a. people can fully enjoy individual freedom. b. people who are honest and work hard can succeed. c. people are free from exploitation and oppression. d. people are free to develop their power of imagination. 29. by saying “the rewards of a mans industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” (para. 1), the author means _. a. laborious work ensures the growth of an industry b. a companys success depends on its employees effort c. the more hard-working one is, the bigger his returns d. a mans business should be developed step by step30. the characters described in horatio algers novels are people who _. a. succeed in real estate investment b. became wealthy after starting life very poor c. earned enormous fortunes by chance d. became famous despite their modest origins 31. what is the contradiction of american culture according to the author? a. the american road to success is full of nightmares. b. status symbols are not a real indicator of a persons wealth. c. what americans chase is not often consistent with their beliefs. d. the american dream is nothing but an empty dream. 家长签字：_签字日期：_第四天英语作业 1.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 writing a news article is different from writing other articles or informational pieces，becausenews
