16、 pale,and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family,”he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others,and Im very worried about him.Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him?There are pro

17、blems psychology doesnt have the answer to,and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically（同情）.The first two times we met,David didnt say a word.He sat there,only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me.I suggeste

18、d we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me.Its not easy to cheat in chess,but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from th

19、e shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company（陪伴）.But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later,when we were playin

20、g chess,he looked up at me suddenly.“Its your turn,”he said.After that day,David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times,about his biking with some friends,and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.M

21、aybe I gave David something.But I also learned that onewithout any words-can reach out to another 高二期末考试英语试卷，第 5 页，共 10 页（含答题卡）person.All it takes is a hug,a shoulder to cry on,a friendly touch,and an ear that listens.24.When he first met the author,David .A.felt a little excited B.looked a little n

24、The authors friendship.D.His exchange of letters with the author.C Recently,I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers(消费者)could buy a 4,000 square foot house for$1.6 million and get a smaller home by the developer valued at$400 thousand for free.This sounds like a fan

25、tastic deal,but I am always wary of any promotion labeled(给加标签)with“buy one get one free”,and here is why.Oftentimes,“buy one get one free”ends up being“buy two at the regular price”.For example,I often see“buy one get one free”ads for orange juice at the supermarket,but the first box always costs o

26、ver$5.00.At the same time,the juices not in the promotion are selling for$2.50 to$2.99 a box.Another problem with“buy one get one free”is that oftentimes you do not need the second item.I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks.If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a“buy one get on

27、e free”promotion,then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it.That creates waste instead of savings.In the case of the San Diego developer,so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses,but the 高二期末考试英语试卷，第 6 页，共 10 页（含答题卡）buyer does not want the cheaper house

28、for free.Instead,he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from his purchase price.I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of“buy one get one free”.Finally,it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend.Knowing the regular pri

29、ce of things also helps you in deciding whether a“buy one get one free”promotion is truly a great deal.28.What does the underlined part“wary of”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.annoyed at B.careful about C.familiar with D.puzzled about 29.Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?A.To show that

30、there are many promotions of food.B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.C.To prove that the second item isnt always as good as the first one.D.To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion.30.What does the house buyer want to do?A.Buy the smaller house only.B.Get

31、 the smaller house for free.C.Buy the larger house for$1.2 million.D.Buy both the larger and smaller houses for$2 million.31.How does the author organize the text?(P:Paragraph)A.B.C.D.D The man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for human

32、s.In an open letter published on Tuesday,Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the worlds population.Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people.Actually,it also has offered opportunities to groups t

33、raditionally not heard a new voice in society.However,he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes(犯罪).“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused,its understandable that many people 高二期末考试英语试卷，第 7 页，共 10 页（含答题卡）feel afraid and unsure if the w

34、eb is really a force for good,”he wrote.Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation.He is looking for help from governments,companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans.His actual plan is called the“Contract(合同)for the Web”.Under thi

35、s contract,governments are called on to take steps to make sure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected.Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web.In addition,companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that

36、 aim to put people first.The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich,quality information for everyone.Besides,people should seek to“build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.”“The path to make the Interne

37、t better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,”Bermers-Lee added,“Making big changes will not be easy,but will be very well worth it in the end.”32.What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?A.It is his greatest regret.B.It stops the progress of humans.C.It needs improving.D.It does

38、more harm than good.33.Whats wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?A.It is misused for bad purposes.B.It is misunderstood by all people.C.It blocks out a new voice in society.D.It is expensive for half the worlds population.34.What are governments called on to do under the“Contract for the Web

41、often when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the“public”at the expense of the“speaking.”37 Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the on

42、e who is speaking.Peoples attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speakers message.So,dont stop speaking when you make a mistake unless its a truly serious one.38 Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.39 And like everything else in life,that takes

43、 practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.40 Its rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.“On the other hand,you probably cant count the times that youve thought,“Im glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!“So surpris

44、e your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.Its better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.A.Do the opposite.B.You want to be an effective public speaker.C.You don t need to apol
