1、2017-2018 學年高二上期中考試英語試卷（解析版）一、閱讀理解1、閱讀理解According to body Ianguage expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actuallydeterm ines a lot about the type of pers on ality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positionsthat affect personality.Phipps found that worriers, those who stres

2、s the most, tend to sleep in the fetal （ 胎兒的） position. He found that this is the most com mon bedtime positi on, with nearly 58 percent of people sleepingon their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up （ 蜷曲）,the more comfort we areseeking, according to Phipps.The sec ond most com mon

3、 positi on is the log. Sleep ing with a straight body,with arms at each side, as if they are sta nding guard at Buck in gham Palace, in dicates stubbor nn ess,and these people （the 28 perce nt who sleep this way） ofte n wake up stiffer tha n whe n they went tosleep.“ The Ion ger you sleep like this,

4、 the more rigid your thinking is and youcan become in flexible, which means you make thi ngs harder for yourself, ” acco rd ing to Phipps.Yearner （向往）sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style on their side with arms stretched out in fron t, look ing as if they are

5、 either chasing a dream or perhapsbeing chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the bestresults, explained Phipps. These people ofte n wake up refreshed and eager to face the challe nges ofthe day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar （奇怪的）of sleep styles is the

6、 freefallerposition.This sleep style makes up 17 perce nt of the populatio n. They sleep face dow n with arms stretched out.These people, accord ing to Phipps, feel like they have little con trol over their life. Not only is this thestra ngest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and peo

7、ple may wake up feeling tired andhave no energy.Inconclusion,Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good nightssleepset you up for the follow ing day and our sleep ing positi ons can determ ine how we feel when wewake. ” 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案，并將選定答案的字母標號填在題前括號內(nèi)。（1）Which sleep ing positi on in dicates tha

I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town waswonder

10、ful and the people were very friendly.The area was very quietand peaceful, and fairly deserted.The last eve ning of our vacati on, however, we all heard stra nge footsteps followingclosely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre.Weturned around and noticed a fairly young ma

11、n moving very rapidly across the beach and gettingcloser to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We could nt see his face and he was approaching usvery rapidly. The mans actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that wed better try to makeit to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I did

12、nt like my dads voice; Icould hear fear in it. Itwas late andwe were all alone. We did nthave any cell phones on us. I n ever saw Dad as worriedas he was then and I knew that something was terriblywrong. The sense of fear startedto overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in tow n. Now, the

13、 ni ght was rapidly turninginto a dan gerous situati on.We could hear the mans footstepsgettingcloser. Dads face was almost pale.The so-called intruder （侵入者）had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden,the nearby vending （自動販賣）machine started going crazy and spittingout cans ofsoda! The no ise a

My pare nts were shak ing, but weall turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs,and actuallysaved us, but no one was around at all.

In deed scie nee is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation（誘惑）to drag it into problems where it ma

17、y notbe helpful. David Brooks, author ofThe Social Ani mal, The Hidde n Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist thetemptati on.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest bookThe Social Ani mal,however, is more amb

18、itious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set ofweighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has scienee revealed about huma n n ature?What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while othersarent?To answer these questio

19、ns. Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, youmight expect the book to cover a variety of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unu sual,and perhaps unfortun ateway. In stead ofintroducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, p

20、erhaps in orderto keep the readers attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the scienee of child development and as they beg in to date we hear about the theory of sexual attract ion. Brooks carries this throughto the death of one of h

21、is characters.On the whole, Brookss story is acceptable if unin spired. As one would expect, his writingis mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed, for in sta nee, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to th ink on his own. While Haroldand Erica are certa i

22、nly not strong characters, the more serious problems withThe Social Animallieelsewhere. These problems partlyinvolveBrookss attempt to tran slate his tale into scie nee.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案，并將選定答案的字母標號填在題前括號內(nèi)。(1)The author men ti ons the functions of scie neeat the beg inningof the passage toA、show the val
