内蒙古赤峰市2020学年高二英语5月下旬周考试题（无答案）

内蒙古赤峰市2020学年高二英语5月下旬周考试题（无答案）第一部分：阅读理解（每小题2分）Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating （振动） , only to find that it isnt?This phenomenon, which scientists call phantom （幻觉的） phone vibration , is very common. Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still.So, what leads to this universal behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brains ability to discover signals from the outside world.When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: it is either vibrating or not. Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is vibrating, or that it isnt.Ideally, you match the four states correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a false alarm. Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you dont miss anything.This is just like the fire alarm in your home - it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But thats a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you.Now, you might still ask: why cant our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals?The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day.“You get a large amount of sensory information thats coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you cant deal with all that information all the time, Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.For example, the rustling （ 沙沙声） of clothing or the growling （咕咕声） of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone -it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think its vibrating. Its not too much trouble to do that, is it?1According to this passage, phantom phone vibration _.A. is common among people with mental problemsB. can measure peoples ability to collect informationC. happens when our brains react sensitively to false signalsD. helps our brains to make quick and accurate decisions2According to Michael Rothberg, which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration?A. A noisy background. B. A lack of much attention.C. A heavy burden every day. D. An overflow of sensory information.3Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage?A. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.B. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.C. To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out.D. To convince us its important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.4What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?A. We should always fully believe our own sense of listening.B. We should just check our phones whenever we think theyre vibrating.C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still.D. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.第二部分：七选五（每题2分）6 From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries like the UK or France 7Talks and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; 8 The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; 9 We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, 10 However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.A. and sometimes these values are quite against each other.B. people from both nations keep the rule that work comes first.C. Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.D. however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.E. instead there was an uncomfortable silence.F. It is quite a common case to meet people from different cultures.G. people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.第三节：完形填空（每小题2分）My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but youd never know it.
