Having taught in_36_for 17 years, I had no 37 about my ability to hold their attention and to 38 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted,“ 39 !”The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 40 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尴尬) was over, I quickly 41 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect-perhaps 42 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.My students 43 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually _44_ by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. 45 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 46 theme（主题）.“Didnt I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical(哲学的)framework of Western thought and laid the historical 47 for all the works well study in class,” I complained. “How 48 they say I didnt teach them anything?”It was a long term, and it 49 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 50 of my students. I thought a teachers job was to raise _51_questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible.

The boat was eighty feet long, flatbottomed, with big wooden eyes on both sides in the front and was colorfully painted at the back.People came to know that it was a sailing boat from Fuzhou in distant China. The boat had sailed round the Cape of Good Hope（好望角）up the western coast of Africa, and finally to England. It had covered fifteen thousand miles-more than half of the distance round the world.Although it was unexpected, the Chinese were warmly welcomed. The boat carried goods such as silk and tea as well as a number of gifts from the Emperor of China for the Queen of England.People had always mistakenly thought of the Chinese as a people not used to sea. However, from centuries of trading and sailing in dangerous seas, the Chinese had learned how to build good boats and sailed them well. The coming of this sailing boat to London proved once again that the Chinese could sail to distant countries in the world.56. The boat was considered unusual because_.A. it was a small wooden boatB. it carried Chinese silk and teaC. it had traveled fifteen thousand milesD. it looked strange in several ways57. According to this article, which of the following is TRUE?A. The distance round the earth measures less than thirty thousand miles.B. The Chinese Emperor gave silk and tea to the English Queen as gifts.C. The Chinese boat came to London by accident.D. The Chinese people were not good at sailing in dangerous seas.58. The boat reached London by sailing _.A. round the southern end of Africa B. up the west coast of EnglandC. through the Arctic Ocean D. round Asia and Europe59. The writer wants to prove that a long time ago the Chinese _.A. carried silk, tea and other goods to EnglandB. could reach many parts of the world by seaC. could sail along the Thames RiverD. surprised Londoners with an unusual boatBFor nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program, a view of space was possible. People could see full views of the Moon, explore Mars(探测火星), and study2020学年度第一学期期中“四校”联考高二英语试卷 第5页 共10页the outer space beauty. All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers(天文学家)who worked to show people how other worlds in space might look.Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to use his artistic ability and his knowledge of astronomy in art. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination and careful attention. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets. His painting of Mars included moonlike craters(火山口)that were first photographed by the astronauts in 1965. His 1930 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by the astronauts in 1976.The artist-astronomers, including Rudaux, made people interested in outer space by painting what turned out to be exact portraits of the planets.60. The passage tells us_.A. the surprising exactness of space artistsB. the popular success of Lucien RudauxC. the imaginations of great artistsD. the likeness between the Moon and Mars61. According to the passage,artist-astronomers spent their lives _.A. exploring the planets B. studying paintingsC. painting the planets D. producing spaceships62.

In 1965, the astronauts photographed _.A. a spaceship B. a planet C. craters on the Moon D. a paintingCWho owns the sea? The ships of all countries sail in the open seas. Not long ago, all countries could fish and hunt in the oceans as they pleased. But now, the countries using the sea must work together to protect the animal life in the seas.In 1870, there were millions of valuable fur seals in the Berling Sea. Ships came from all the world to kill them.Man wanted the animals fur and their oil from their bodies. By 1930, only about 130,000 seals were left there in the seas and the oceans. Even the hunters themselves knew that something had to be done to protect them, otherwise the seals would die out or disappear from the earth forever.Four countries owned the land near the seals northern home. In 1911, these countries began plans to control seal-hunting. The governments of these four countries, Japan, Russia, Canada and the United States, where the animals rested and gave birth to their young,formulated a policy that only male seals that did not have mates were to be divided among the four governments.2020学年度第一学期期中“四校”联考高二英语试卷 第6页 共10页Today, large herds of seals swim in the Berling sea again.

Only one country could hunt or kill seals.DThere are no seals in other parts of the world besides the Berling Sea.DSix people are sitting around a big table. They are very important people. They aretrying to make a very important decision. Thats why they are all wearing colored hats.But only in their minds.When making a decision people have to struggle with different choices. They have tobe creative enough to use their imaginations. But they also have to know enough of thefacts to stop their imaginations using them.All these factors sometimes make it hard for people to decide what to do when theyare given a difficult question. And what if we cannot afford to get the answer wrong?Enter Edward De Bono. Professor De Bono comes up with ideas, which help people workout how to think. And the “six-hat technique” is one of the best known.The idea is to separate out the different parts of the decision, making process so that each can help people come to the right decision. Each of the six very important people is given a different hat. The white hat deals with information and sticks to the facts. The red hat talks about “gut reactions” how he or she feels about what is going on. The yellow hat looks at all the benefits that could come from a decision. The black hat warns about2020学年度第一学期期中“四校”联考高二英语试卷 第7页 共10页everything that could go wrong. The green hat wonders whether there are other good ways. And the blue hat runs the whole meeting.This technique has proved itself in many businesses. Managers find that it is an effective way of making sure that meetings are useful and constructive. Individuals can be given a particular hat for a whole meeting. Or the whole team can wear the same hat for part of the time and then move on to the next. And best of all, it keeps meetings short.Though it was intended for the world of business, the “six-hat technique” can also be used outside work. Some parents use it to teach children the difference between what they want to do right now and what is really good for them. Individualscan use it as a way of cutting through the confusion and making the right decision.69What does the writer think of the imaginations used in making a decision?A. They must be used properly. B. They should be used very little.C. They are often dangerous. D. They are more important than facts.70. Which of the following is true to the “six-hat technique”?A. It is only suitable for six people. B. It is suitable for any number of people.C. It is only suitable for business D. It is suitable for anything but businesses.71. The underlined “gut reactions” probably means _.A. results of a decision B. ideas for a decisionC. feelings about the decision that one has to makeD. feelings about an idea or event just after hearing about itEGiving Back Fair WayThe Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos
