江苏省扬州市扬州中学2019-2020学年高二上学期英语期中考试试卷

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    An umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life. When the weather is fine, we certainly don't think of it; only when it's raining, we'll carry it purposefully. But as soon as the rain stops, most likely we'll forget we've put it. It has to wait patiently and pitifully for owner to claim it, otherwise it'll remain alone as a deserted umbrella. Once I suddenly found my longtime used umbrella "disappeared". I really (regret) quite some time for my own carelessness. Several days later, out of my (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar me, I found for the first time that its plastic handle (wear) out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid (much) attention to it.

    It sets me (think). Around us there is always a person giving us support in silence just like old umbrella that protects us from the rain or any bad weather. Will you think of those individuals have helped you get through difficulty when you are leading a comfortable life?

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Silence is unnatural to man. He does all he can {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(make) a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(introduce) to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as{#blank#}3{#/blank#}failure, and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(mean) no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).

    The aim of conversation is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(annoy) as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.

    Those{#blank#}7{#/blank#} hate to pick up the weather as a{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(conversation) opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(learn) anything new. Some of them are content if they are {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(mere) allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears.
