After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my moms face that shed forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I n

12、o longer had a ride to school the next day. I thought my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a top student ready to start college applications, being late wasnt proper. In my mind, missing these tests means the end of my academic career. I begged m

13、y mom. But she held her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didnt rescue(营救) me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, Ive realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how

17、avoid doing these activities which include long-distance airplane travel, sea-trips, road-trips，even certain movies and video games. However, the French company Boarding Ring promises that it has its way to solve the problem, as long as the users are willing to wear Boarding Glasses!Why do many peop

18、le suffer from motion sickness? It is believed that the brain fails to deal with mixed signals from body parts. For example, when you are looking at your phone on a moving bus, your inner ear realizes the move but your eyes, focused on the screen, think you dont move.Boarding Glasses tries to ease (

19、减轻）motion sickness by making the users eyes and ears transmit the same message. After the brain receives the same message, it will think you are in a moving environment. Though that sounds difficult, the science behind the glasses is surprisingly simple. The plastic frames (框架）,made up of two round

20、frames on the front and two on the side, are filled with some blue liquid. Any movement can cause the liquid to flow around the eyes. This allows the eyes to sense the move and send the correct signal to the brain.According to Antoine Jeannin, CEO of Boarding Ring, Boarding Glasses has been tested.

21、The CEO said that over 95 percent of the users felt better after wearing the glasses. The best part is that Boarding Glasses only has a frame so a single pair can be worn among a group of friends, or even an entire family!24.

24、asses Can Make You See the World Clearly CTiny as they are, bats have the ability to “see” in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation (回声定位法). They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo（回音）, to bounce back of（反弹）objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how q

25、uickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward. This special ability has been copied in the human world for a long time, such as in submarines and planes. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocati

26、on for themselves? American Daniel Kish, who is blind, is known as “Batman”. This isnt because he walks around in a cape (披风) and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled a

27、t echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.Recently, a research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation. Kish, as well as other volunteers, worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the e

28、choes that they produce from clicks. The team found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought. Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, “We found that in some conditions, they were really faint-about 95 percent softer than th

29、e actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this.”Andrew Kolarik, another expert in echolocation, told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get

30、 detected by the cane or a guide dog”.According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said, “Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”27. What does “this special abil

31、ity” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The ability to make noises in the dark.B. The ability to bounce back off objects.C. The ability to measure the distance quickly.D. The ability to use sound waves to echolocate.28. What do we know about Daniel Kish from the text? A. He is fond of riding a bike and hik

32、ing alone.B. He is able to hear echoes he produces from clicks.C. He is called “Batman” because he looks like a bat.D. He conducted the experiment to circulate echolocation.29. What is Kolariks attitude towards the future use of echolocation in blind people? A. Ambiguous. B. Hopeful C. Tolerant D. D

A Breakthrough in echoing.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（答题卡上若选E填涂AB; F填涂AC; G填涂AD）Things only people who have worked overseas c

Usually, your special day ends with the last phone call you get from home and then you can look through all your greetings on social media. 33 You may t

37、hrow a small party with some of your new friends, but its going to be nothing compared with the goodold feasts you used to have with your loved ones back at home. 34 Too often we simply cant tell you if we will be coming home for holidays this season. Sometimes, our working/living permits require us

Thestandard retirement age varies from country to country, but it is generally between 50 and 70, according to the latest statistics, 2011. However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about

55、whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their countries.There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business o

56、r organization if they are made to retire. Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement company policies than the young. A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to older people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65

57、 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that their useful life is over.Allowing older people to work indefinitely (无限地), however, is not always a good policy. Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability. Many young employees have more e

58、xperience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their lifes labor by being given generous pensions and the fr

They can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily (强制地) retire older workers. However, t

60、his can affect the older individuals freedom and right to work. In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual. 遵化市20192020学年度高二年级第二学期期末考试英语试题参考答案第卷第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分)1-5 ABCCA 6-10 ACBBC 11-15 CAACB 16-20 ABBCA第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共
