2016年暑假已经到来，家长在在暑假中一定督促孩子认真完成作业和注意假期安全。精品学习网高中频道为大家提供了高二英语暑假作业测试卷，供大家参考。

一、美文晨读

Dave needed to pack for Saturday’s fishing trip. He went into his hall closet, where he had more than 20 rods and reels. Nowadays he went fishing twice a year at Big Bear, a huge lake in southern California about 7,000 feet up in the mountains.

California tries to boost the fishing industry by sponsoring a Free Fishing Day twice a year, once in June and once in September. That sufficed for Dave. He went mostly because it was a social event with a few friends, not so much to catch fish. Even by itself, the scenic drive up a twisty two-lane road was worth the trip. Not to mention the big, beautiful houses and trees that lined the shore of the lake.

Packing was a project in itself. Dave had even created a computer file named Fishing Trip. It was a checklist of 45 things to take to Big Bear. He took two rods, because on Free Fishing Day you were allowed to fish with two rods instead of the usual one rod. He took a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, two pair of socks, a heavy hooded denim jacket, winter gloves, and a scarf. He also took flip-flops, shorts, a T-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat, and a lightweight raincoat. If you go to Big Bear in June, you’d better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine.

He packed a couple of magazines to read just in case the fish weren’t biting. He and his friends joked that the fish were always biting - in the spot you just left or the spot you were headed to.

After about an hour and a half, Dave had gathered all the items on his list into a neat pile next to his door. He went to bed knowing that tomorrow’s weather and fishing were unpredictable, but the good time with his friends was a gift.

三、七选五

We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our life. Instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves.  1

The item listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely.

1.Breathe into pain

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running away.  2  When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness.

2.  3

We’re often confused at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start the process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome.

3.Spend time alone

For most of our life we’re surrounded by people: our friends, family members and strangers.  4  When you spend time in solitude(孤独), you’re free from the influence of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you’ll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into life.

4.Get out of yourself

5  But in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depth of yourself, you come away with a new understanding.

Now, it’s time to share that, not through telling others, but through being with others.

A.Have a light heart

B.Ask your heart what it wants

C.Is there anything I’m hiding from myself?

D.How often do we really spend time alone?

E.This may seem to go against the last tip to some degree.

F.We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds.

G.When we run away from sadness, it gets stronger and more real.

四、阅读理解

A

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
