郑州市高二英语期中试题练习

When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper.

And many times, the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to.

However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child.

All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends.

A. teach parents the ways to keep theft children safe

B. show solutions to developing children’s character

C. explain the main reason for violence acts in schools

D. analyze an education problem and give opinions

A. A toy that can be used for entertainment.

B. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school

C. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong

My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlynd, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry muffin (松饼). As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.

This young man had no hair on sides of his head and a tuft (一簇) of blue spiked (竖起的) hair on top of it. One of his nostrils (鼻孔) was pierced, and attached to the ring that ran through the hole was a chain that draped across his face and attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.

Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped in her tracks when she saw the teen. I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.

I was wrong.

My Granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a gracious “Thank you very much.”

On our way to the car, I commended Caitlynd for her manners in holding open the door for the young man, she didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmotherly talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.

As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.

The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teen was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door.”

I saw the partially shaved head, the tuft of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.

In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.

63. What did the author think of the young man?

A. Polite. B. Uncommon. C. Frightening. D. Funny.

64. Caitlynd helped the young man because _______.

A. she was scared

B. she didn’t notice his book

C. she wanted to avoid him

D. it would be difficult for the young man to open the door

65. The underlined sentence suggests that _______.

A. the author was ashamed of herself

B. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom

C. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter

D. people should have more freedom to express themselves

66. The author intends to tell us that _______.

A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his looks

B. we should allow people more freedom to dress differently

C. we should be more helpful and tolerant to people

D. we shouldn’t be too critic of people in life

D

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them，often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times, there were inquiries(调查)into the causes of the disasters or the problems.New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries，however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
