Do you like swimming? Yes? Well，how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice，practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success. Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.1. We should learn English by ________.A. listening and speakingB. reading and writingC.A and BD. swimming2. What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A. Don't make mistakes.B. Study hard.C. Try not to speak English.D. Don't be afraid.3. What's more important for senior school students?A. Listening.B. Speaking.C. Reading and writing.D. Learning.三、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。

第十四天一、美文晨读Empty Nest SyndromeWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”. In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.二、词汇训练1. My elder sisters and brothers have moved away from home and are _____（自立的）now.2. Her _____（座右铭）is3. I like her _____（方法）4. John is very _____（博学的;有见识的）5. The still water _____（反射/照出/映出）6. My life is _____（完全地）7. He was a _____（进步的）thinker.8. I cannot write without _____（灵感）.9. It needs no _____（解释）.10. It is the only _____（文学的）magazine in the area.三、语法填空Do you want to be the best student in your class? Be the envy of all of your friends in school and be the 1 of your teachers and parents !First, a best student must study hard. This is the primary task of a student. Remember, if you don’t do anything, you will be nothing. Ask questions in class if you do not understand something. In addition, try to enjoy all the 2 you learn at school and work hard on them. It seems that hard-working students can have success more 3 .Second, good study habits are very useful. For example, when you prepare for a test, make 4 that you have all of the proper materials including books, pencils, paper, calculators, etc. Underline the words that you do not understand. And try marking some of the themes mentioned in the book. Then, come up 5 study questions and try to answer them. You’d better stop to take a 6 every hour to refresh your memory.Don’t forget to try asking your parents 7 help. They have personal learning experiences and can help you with your studies in many ways. Usually, the students who ask their parents for help can do 8 in class than those don’t.Lastly, remember to never give up. You are already on your way in becoming the best student! The truth is that it doesn’t 9 to fail if you pick yourself up and try even harder. 10 a lot of the famous peopl e were all once failures, they never lost heart and managed to climb to the top and succeed1. ________2. ________3. ________4. ________5.________6. ________7. ________8. ________9. ________ 10 ________四、阅读理解AThe English language is changing fast, thanks to the rapid progress of technology. We all have a choice：we can either bury our heads in the sand and spendthe rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well, or we can embrace（拥抱）the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age and call it “weblish”.“You can’t avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety oflanguage comes along, it inevitably impacts on the language as a whole,” says Dr.David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics（语言学）at the University of Walesin Bangor, whose book Language and the Internet has just been published.The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not that there are so manynew words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In thepast, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they livedin a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac（which is a computer,not a raincoat）. Spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing（引不起食欲的）canned mea t, it now stands for unwanted “junk” email.Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing“hvc wth vrbs”havoc（混乱）with verbs］, but the conventions of email communication place little emphasison “perfect spelling”.Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs（“Please bookmark this site”）,and verbs become nouns（“Send me the download”）. Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives（dial up, logon, print out, pull-down, upload）, while others are created from simply pairing nouns：cyberspace, ethernet, Internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak.1. The best title of this passage would be “_______”.A. Keep Up with the Latest WeblishB. Keep Up with the Latest Development in EnglishC. Newly-invented English WordsD. Technology and English2. We can infer from the first paragraph that________.A. some people wish Shakespeare were still aliveB. people may have different attitudes towards weblishC. all people welcome weblishD. weblish causes fear among people3. The third paragraph is mainly about ________.A. different meanings of English wordsB. the rapid changes of English wordsC. the difficulty in understanding words related to computer and the InternetD. common words used on the Internet4. The author thinks the main difficulty people in keeping up with weblish is that______.A. old words take on new meaningsB. there are so many new wordsC. the technology is changing too fastD. weblish words are full of spelling mistakes5. David Crystal would probably agree that _______.A. people should not accept weblishB. weblish can cause misunderstandings among peopleC. weblish will destroy the English languageD. people should know something about weblishBFlorian Albert, the only Hungarian to win the European Footballer of the Year award, died on Monday aged 70, the Hungarian Football Association said in a statement. The former Ferencvaros forward, who turned 70 last month, won Europe’s top individual award in 1967 and made 75 appearances for his country, scoring 31 goals. He died following complications（并发症）after heart surgery last week, the Football Association reported.Born in the village of Hercegszanto in southern Hungary in September 1941, he became known as “The Emperor” in his homeland, and stayed a oneclub player for his whole career. He made his debut（首次上场）for Ferencvaros as a 17yearold in 1958 and in all he made 537 appearances, scoring 383 goals before retiring in 1974.Despite the brilliance of Hungary’s Magical Magyars team of the early 1950s, the European award, which began in 1956, passed them by and Albert remains the only Hungarian to win the honor.“You know what is so special about the Golden Ball—the defenders never took it away from me.” he told Nemzeti Sport, Hungary’s spo rts daily newspaper on his 70th birthday last month.Florian Albert, the former Hungary striker and European Footballer of the Year, died in hospital at the age of 70, the Hungarian news agency MTI said Monday.As well as winning four Hungarian League titles with Ferencvaros, he was also part of the Ferencvaros team which won the 1965 InterCities Fairs Cup, precursor （先驱）of the UEFA Cup, beating Juventus in the final in Turin.A tall and elegant player, with excellent close control, Albert was joint top scorer with four goals in the 1962 World Cup finals along with five other players including Garrincha and Vava of Brazil. He was also named Young Player of the Tournament.Albert’s son, Florian Albert Jr., also played for Ferencvaros and Hungary and the club’s stadium is named after him.There have also been concerns recently regarding another Hungarian great, Gyula Grosics, the goalkeeper of the Mighty Magyars of the 1950s. He is recovering in hospital following a fall, but was not in any immediate danger, a hospital spokesman said at the weekend.6. What did Florian Albert die of?A. A heart disease.B.

河北省高级中学2018-2019学年高二上学期英语寒假作业10Word版含答案

中学2018-2019学年高二年级寒假作业英语学科（第十二期）完成时间：2019年2月14日（正月初十）星期四班级学号_______ 学生姓名__________ 家长签字________第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分）阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe temperature of your body should be always just the same, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer （温度计）when your are sick.The body keeps the same temperature all the time ,because it balances the heat it produces and it gives off. It is always burning up food and , producing heat. It can produce heat faster when it needs to give off heat than when it becomes too warm. Let’s see how this happen.The heat of your body is given off mainly through the skin. When you are cold, your skin is tight and shows “good flesh”. When you get chilly, you must dance around to keep warm or else you will shiver. Then your muscles begin to work, burn up fuel, and produce more heat. It is not pleasant to shiver, so you usually prefer to warm up by exercise, or put on more clothes to keep heat in.When you are warm, the skin is loose and soft. It is so supplied with blood that heat is given off rapidly. If you get too warm, you begin to sweat ,and more body heat is used in evaporating the moisture（水蒸气）from your skin. You wear less clothing, too, in warm weather or warm room, so that warm can be given off freely. You feel less like exercising because your body is warm already, and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.You can see from the way you feel differently in different kinds of weather. In summer, when it is warm, you feel tired and lazy. You do not care to work or play, but enjoy lying and doing nothing. When you get out of doors in winter, the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to play.1.Which is another title suitable of the passage?A．The Patients’Temperature B．The Body Temperature Should Always Be the Same C．The Body Temperature D．The Temperature and Your Skin2.How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?A．It is always producing heat from food. B．It gives off the heat produced in it.C．It balances the heat it gets and loses. D．It stops producing heat when necessary.3.When one feels chilly, which of the following will he do?A．His skin becomes tight in order to keep warm.B．He does exercises to make his muscle produce more heat.C．He puts on more clothes to keep heat in.D．He keeps shivering to produce more heat.B“High tech”and “state of the art”are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing (制造业的) system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens (微波炉), etc. “State of the art”is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest ways and technology. Something that is “state of the art”is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art”is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution（革命）. Every computer company claimed (声称) that its computers were “state of the art”.Computer technology changes so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art”has become as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell how “high tech”and “state of the art”have developed.B．To give examples of high tech.C．To tell what “high tech”and “state of the art”are.D．To describe very modern technology.5.What can we learn from the passage?A．American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.B．“High tech”describes a technology that is not traditional.C．“State of the art”became popular later than “high tech”.D．A lantern out of a big orange pumpkin is “state of the art”.6.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art”has become popular. B．“State of the art”means something that is the best one can buy.C．With the development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become unpopular.D．All the producers claim that their products are “state of the art”nowadays.7.The best title for the passage is .A．Computer TechnologyB．High Tech and State of the ArtC．Most Advanced TechnologyD．Two New Expressions第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

寒假作业(14)Unit 2 Bridging Cultures-高二英语人教版(2019)选择性必

（14）Unit 2 Bridging Cultures——2021-2022学年高二英语人教版（2019）寒假作业第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AFinding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China. When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a thought-out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015, after accompanying her father on a business trip to China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice. "If Mrs. Wang needed this service, maybe other parents would as well," Jessup thought.After returning to the UK, Jessup borrowed £1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database(数据库) with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major personality characteristics, like honesty and optimism.In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but later, she started to charge fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations. She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on studies.1. What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?A. A suggestion from a business partner.B. Her interest in Chinese culture.C. A Chinese mother's request.D. A character from a play.2. What did Mrs. Wang want her daughter to be in the future?A. A woman with achievements.B. A famous actress.C. A successful businesswoman.D. A western culture expert.3. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?A. It offers free service.B. It's updated every day.C. It's operated completely by itself.D. It is easy to manage.BFinding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China.

He invited her to try to paint on the van, and the plan was formed."People were like, 'Oh, you shouldn't do that; people are going to draw all kinds of horrible things on there, you know.' 'You're asking for trouble.''' Sherman said. "People really haven't drawn anything bad on there; they always draw cool things."He started driving it several years ago, and frequently found drawings when he parked it in at the movie theater or grocery store. When he found someone drawing on the bus, he left them alone to finish before talking with them. "It's always a positive conversation," he said. Sherman, a licensed marriage and family therapist, said the bus seemed to provide something people were missing. He took it each year to the Out of Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk in Salt Lake City and let people draw on it there."A lot of people are really disconnected in society. And a lot of people suffer in silence," he said. "Anywhere I can find a little small connection, I think it just alleviates a little bit of a burden somewhere for somebody to know that—you're seen and you matter.""I've just noticed how many meaningful connections have come as a result of or have comebecause of the existence of the Chalkbus," McKinnon said. "Because the Chalkbus exists, I've made friends that I wouldn't have made. I want people to have peace, love and happiness."1. How did Sherman react when seeing someone painting on his bus?A. He watched him/her in a cold manner.B. He stayed angry but kept silent.C. He fought with the person.D. He watched him/her and then talked with the person.2. What's the meaning of the underlined word "alleviates" in Para. 7?A. Relieves.B. Bears.C. Accepts.D. Improves.3. What's the best title of the passage?A. Immoral behavior happening in publicB. "Chalkbus" inspires drawing and connectivityC. "Chalkbus" promotes young artists born in collegesD. Newly-born style of art—Chalkbus drawing4. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A guidebook.B. A scientific fiction.C. A fashion magazine.D. A news report.DOver the centuries the French have lost a number of famous battles with the British. However, they've always felt superior in the kitchen. France has had a reputation for cooking excellence for centuries, and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world. But according to a recent survey, that reputation may no longer reflect reality.In the survey, 71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day, while only 59% of the French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s. Once upon a time, the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes, using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a result, there's much morediversity in British food now, compared to French food which tends to be very traditional.Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women don't cook as much as they used to because most of them need to work and don't have much time. They tend to buy readymade or frozen dishes, but many of them make up for it on the weekend. There's also a difference between Paris and the countryside. It's true that people in Paris don't cook much, but elsewhere, cooking is still at the heart of daily life.For many French people, opinions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier, the food editor at a magazine, was asked about British food, he replied, "I don't go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that I'm not a fan at all."1. Which of the following statements can best describe present British people?A. They cook less at home than the French every day.B. They no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetables.C. They are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foods.D. They buy more cookbooks than French people do.2. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. French women cook less often now.B. The French prefer ready-made dishes.C. French women seldom cook on the weekend.D. Cooking is at the heart of people's life m Paris.3. What is Bernard's attitude towards British food?A. He would love to try it.B. He shows no interest in it.C. He considers it worse than before.D. He considers it better than before.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The history of British food.B. The history of French food.C. The change in British food.D. The change in French food.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese. The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do.Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis, which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese. But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either.I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese. In fact, high achievers in English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese. It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue. Qian Zhongshu, Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples.Another trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of "worth". It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on, with pitiful results. This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority. But this is not a sound argument either as students still need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them.Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject. There should be a robust(安康的) foreign language education program, as a foreign language improves a student's future job prospects. Bashing(鞭挞) English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies.To be constructive, we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students' time learning English is spent more effectively. There are a few things that could improve English education, such as assessment design，learner motivation and teaching style，I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning. The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified. People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests, when the dialogue should be taken a step further, to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well, Chinese included.【小题1】In paragraph 3 Qian Zhongshu, Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are mentioned to _____.A. show respect for their capabilities of learning languagesB. prove English and Chinese are not contradictoryC. confirm the importance of learning English in ChinaD. tell the readers English Education is to blame【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?A. The TV program Writing in Chinese is very popular at present.B. Good results of learning English are not worth so much time.C. Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams.D. Sacrificing English can improve Chinese language education.【小题3】. In the writer’s opinion, what should be done to solve the argument?A. Increasing time spent in learning Chinese.B. Increasing time spent in learning English.C. Reducing the weight of English in examinations.D. Improving the learning outcomes effectively.【小题4】Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. English education is still important in China.B. Chinese education is more important in China.C. English contributes to the failure in teaching ChineseD. Ways to make improvements in learning Chinese.BAt the moment, there are two reliable ways to make electricity from sunlight. You can use a panel of solar cells to create the current directly, by liberating electrons from a semiconducting material such as silicon. Or you can concentrate the sun’s rays using mirrors, boil water with them, and employ the steam to drive a generator.Both work. But both are expensive. Gang Chen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Zhifeng Ren of Boston College therefore propose an alternative. They suggest that a phenomenon called the thermoelectric〔热电〕effect might be used instead—and they have built a prototype〔原型〕to show that the idea is practical.Thermoelectric devices are not new. They are used, for example, to capture waste heat from car engines. They work because certain materials generate an electrical potential difference within themselves if one part is hotter than another. That can be used to drive a current through an external circuit.The reason thermoelectric materials have not, in the past, been applied successfully to the question of solar power is that to get a worthwhile current you have to have a significant temperature difference. (200℃ is considered a good starting point.) In a car engine, that is easy. For sunlight, however, it means concentrating the heat in some way. And if you are going to the trouble of building mirrors to do that, you might as well go down the steam-generation route, which is a much more efficient way of producing electricity. If the heat concentration could be done without all the equipment of mirrors, though, thermoelect ricity’s inefficiency would be balanced by the cheapness of the equipment.In their view, three things are needed to create a workable solar-thermoelectric device. The first is to make sure that most of the sunlight which falls on it is absorbed, rather than being reflected. The second is to choose a thermoelectric material which conducts heat badly but electricity well. The third is to be certain that the temperature gradient〔梯度〕which that badly conducting material creates is not wasted by poor design.【小题1】The following methods can be adopted to make electricity from sunlight EXCEPT .A. putting a panel of solar cells into useB. concentrating sun’s rays with mirrorsC. creating a solar-thermoelectric deviceD. building a practical solar prototype【小题2】Why was the application of thermoelectric materials a failure in the past?A. Because it’s hard for them to build enough mirrors to make it work.B. Because 200℃ was hard to reach at that time even in a car engine.C. Because of the failure of having a significant temperature difference.D. Because it was hard to focus the sun’s rays with equipment of mirrors.【小题3】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Thermoelectric Device --- the Best Method of AllB. A New Method of Making Electricity from SunlightC. How to Create a Workable Thermoelectric DeviceD. Solar Power --- a New Energy Trend in the FutureIV.书面表达〔满分是26〕阅读下面的一那么通讯稿，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

高二英语寒假作业

高二英语寒假作业Dear Teacher,I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As the winter vacation approaches, I would like to express my excitement to spend some quality time with my textbooks and accomplish the English assignments you have graciously given us.To start with, I plan on making the most out of this holiday by organizing a study schedule. I believe that having a structured plan will help me stay focused and motivated. I intend to allocate a specific time each day to revise the grammar rules and vocabulary that we have learned so far. This will not only reinforce my understanding but also ensure that I don't forget any important concepts.Furthermore, I plan to enhance my reading skills during the vacation. I have compiled a list of novels and short stories recommended by you and my classmates, ranging from classic literature to contemporary works. By diversifying my reading material, I hope to improve my comprehension skills and expand my vocabulary. Additionally, I will write summaries for each book I read to practice my writing skills.In addition to reading, I will listen to English podcasts and watch English movies to practice my listening skills. I find this to be an effective way of familiarizing myself with different accents and improving my understanding of spoken English. Moreover, I will take notes while listening to improve my listening skills, as well as annotate any unfamiliar words or phrases to expand my vocabulary.Writing is another major aspect of English that I would like to focus on during the winter vacation. I plan to write at least one essay per week on various topics. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with some essay prompts to work with. Furthermore, I will practice writing formal letters and emails, as this is a useful skill for future correspondence.Lastly, I am aware that language learning is not limited to academics, and I plan to broaden my cultural knowledge as well. I will research and learn about English-speaking countries' customs, traditions, and history to gain a better understanding of their way of life. This will not only improve my cultural competence but also help me contextualize the language and make learning English more enjoyable.In conclusion, I am looking forward to a fulfilling winter vacation focused on improving my English skills. By creating a study schedule, reading extensively, practicing listening through podcasts and movies, writing regularly, and enriching my cultural knowledge, I am confident that I will make significant progress. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout the year. I wish you a peaceful and restful winter vacation.Sincerely,[Your Name]。

高二英语寒假作业二试题

高二英语(yīnɡ yǔ)寒假作业AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exames than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(明晰(míngxī)度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find outwhether using a laptops increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly〞 by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were give either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on howwell they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as manynotes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The reseachers’ report said , “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disapears.’’In another experiment aimed at testing long- term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exame.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. Most and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can______.A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be__________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to_________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the bebfit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textpaperC. a science magzineD. a finance reportB(Q= Question; A= Answer)Situation ⅠQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.SituationⅡQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something? A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.SituationⅢQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: NO. Try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作(dòngzuò)) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.SituationⅣQ: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened. A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!〞is short for, “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.〞SituationⅤQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复(huífù))to it?A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “ Yes,〞you can say if ever asked, “ I saw it.〞 No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.25. You will get annoyed in a theater when____.A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him.27. The underlined word “belated〞in Situation Ⅳ probablymeans___.A. predictedB. returnedC. cancelledD. delayed28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other’s mannersC. Proper manners to offer help to othersD. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survivethrough their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it〞.Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌(zhēnjūn)) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just theright amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees〞, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees〞 with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies〞 or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“ We didn’t take any notice of it,〞 Simard says sadly,“ Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.〞 If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “the opposite is true〞 in Paragraph 2probably means that trees__________.A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. “Mother tress〞 are extremely important because they________.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies〞31. The underlined word “it〞 in the last paragraph refers to_______A. how “tree societies〞 workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G＆G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员(gùyuán)) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the jo b. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,〞he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.〞Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G＆G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G＆G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪(qíng xù)). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most imp ortant habit for a person’s success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard-----but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,〞 Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.〞The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve a s guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers’ lives. Those courses are, in part, why G＆G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G＆G must ____.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can ____.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G＆G has grown into a large company.B. G＆G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G＆G may become more successful in the future.D. G＆G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面(lǐmiàn)选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AA machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membrane(膜) designed to only let water molecules〔分子〕 get through.Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology."It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends onhow sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. MattiasRonge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stunt(惊人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've installed exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers are cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produced - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."24.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the machine?_______.A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local tap water .B. The amount of water the machine produces is too small.C.The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the International Space StationD. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?A. How the machine works.B. Who developed the machine.C. How the machine was invented.D. Why the machine was invented..26.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the world.B. People do not like the water the machine processesC. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer.D. The machine is not worth popularizing.BAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A. People seldom work long hours to make money.B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.75. When Daniel was a reporter he _________________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid76. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Child-caring.B. Liz's advice.C. Downshifting.D. Liz's job.77. The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means _________.A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week.CThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House inAtlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, as king them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ 〞The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump〞.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.27. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump〞D. adapted from a movie28. The underlined phrase “tower over〞 in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A. be very pleased withB. show great respect forC. be much taller thanD. show little interest in29. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?A. Because she was rich enough.B. Because she was injured then.C. Because her husband didn’t like it.D. Because she wanted to write books.30. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.DMany Chinese people are confused with the two nations: one is known for its cheese and watches; the other for IKEA and Volvo.The problem largely stems from the fact that both nation’s names are written similarly in Mandarin---Ruidian(Sweden) and Ruishi (Switzerland)------which begin with the same symbol, according to the Swedish Consul General Victoria Liu in China.In an effort to put an end to the mix-up, the Swedish and Swiss governments have launched a competition on a website, asking Chinese people to come up with funny ways to help differentiate the two countries. Submissions can be accepted as a blog post, cartoon, photo, short film or in any other format.The winner with the best submission will receive a 12-day trip to Sweden and Switzerland and will be expected to report back on his/her impressions of both countries following the trip, the website states. Entries will be accepted until November 20.The organizers have also devised a humorous campaign logo with objects and people associated with Sweden and Switzerland on separate maps of each country. Sweden’s map features meatballs, a Viking, as well as t wo male cartoon figures with a heart between them symbolizing gay marriage, which remains illegal in Switzerland.Switzerland’s map features cheese, the Alps and a picture of Roger Federer.China may not be the only country struggling to tell Sweden and Switzerland apart. Residents of Spanish-speaking countries also fall victim to the confusion as Sweden is spelt “Suecia〞in Spanish while Switzerland is called “Suiza〞.Sweden and Switzerland aren’t the only places that have caused confusion among people. Last month, , a British holidaymaker hoped to explore the architecture of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, but instead mistakenly caught a flight across the Atlantic to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada following a confusing booking blunder. Earlier this summer, two US holidaymakers were flown to the wrong continent after an airline confused two airport codes.63.What can we learn about the competition launched by the two governments?A. The winner of the competition will receive a 24-day trip altogether to both of the countries.B. The winner will report his/her impressions on the two countries in his/her submission.C. T he competition is held among all people around the world.D. The competition is held in order to stop people’s confusion about the two countries.64.Why does the author mention the British holidaymaker?A. To show us many people are confused by Sweden and Switzerland.B. To prove airports make mistakes about people’s places too.C. To explain Spanish-speaking people make mistakes too.D. To prove many people are confused about some places.65.In which part of a newspaper could you probably find the passage?A. TourismB. News reviewC. BusinessD. Culture66.What does the underli ned word “devised〞 mean?A. Compared.B. Collected.C. Invented.D. Installed第二节〔七选五共5小题，每一小题2分，总分为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优选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, ele ctricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power pany. Workers from the power pany soon arrivedon the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.“You should have been killed,” he said.So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was well serious with me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.Through this experience, I learned that it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective. Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock of my life”.5.The underlined word “disregard ”in the second paragraph means “________”.A．pay no attention to B．take notice ofC．consider D．follow6.

It's about an hour's train ride from Princeton University to the north of New York City.DElectric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles," but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity es from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something - usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just the coal is burned somewhere else so it looksclean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes - "If I can't see it, it's not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas （or another fuel） and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat - at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far - so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the waste is in one spot.13. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Electric cars are not actually clean .B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.C. People cast doubts on electric cars' batteries.D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.14．The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run __________.A．not less than 25 miles.B．more than 25 miles.C．not more than 25 miles.D．no less than 25 miles.15．It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A．being green is good and should be encouraged in munications B．electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something.C．zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment.D．electric cars are now the strong vehicle pared withgasoline-powered cousins.第二节(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。

The robots are designed to act like fish, other underwater creatures and plants. The scientists are working with several universities and research centers as part of a group called subCULTron. The European Union gives money to the project as part of its Horizon 2020 program whose aim is to take great ideas from the lab to the market and support science and innovation (创新) in Europe. The scientists want to use the artificial intelligence of the robots to help humans understand what is happening under the water of the Venice lagoon (鴻湖).SubCULTron, a collective artificial intelligence project, plans to create the biggest shoal(鱼群) of robot fish in the world. The project's aim is to improve knowledge of the seabed and try to turn human abilities into h-tech items.Alexandre Campo, a computer scientist, says the scientists have looked at the way animals learn to work in groups to understand how robotscan learn to work together. The subCULTron project wants its robots to learn to work together so they can watch out for changes and new problems in the water.One problem the researchers had in the beginning was how the robots would communicate with each other. Wi-Fi and GPS equipment don't work underwater. Instead, the robots can use sonar (声呐) and an electric field.Another problem was charging batteries. The robots come up to the water' s surface and stay near a boat or a power station to charge without any electrical cables. Besides, how to be waterproof, especially for some key pads of the robots, was really tough. Fortunately, a special mixture has been created to be pinned on the robot, which successfully stands the test of water.The health state of the lagoon is pretty good. There are no industrial polluters, and the city now has a modern sewer (污水管) system. It's not like before when all the waste flushed diretly into the water. The robots in Venice will continue their work until 2019. The subCULTron project hopes they develop into “an artificial society underneath the water surface” that serves “a human society above the water”.1.What can we learn about the project in Paragraph 1?A.Its researchers are all from universities.B.The European Union has financially supported it.C.It uses robots to clean the waters in and around Venice.D.It is aimed to support science and innovation worldwide.2.What can we infer according to Alexandre Campo?A.Scientists have got an idea for robots from the animals.B.The robots are working separately to perform their tasks.C.SubCULTron is to turn human abilities into hi-tech items.D.The health state of the lagoon has greatly improved recently.3.The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph probably refers to “_____”A.scientistsB.animalsC.robotsD.humans4.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?A.Robots are coming into our cities soon.B.Animals can tell us how to clean the water.C.Waters in Venice have been greatly cleaned.D.Robot fish watch out for the waters in Venice.7、 Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers (消费者) have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (标签). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a morenutritious and safer product, then you’d better save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories(种类)of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed(分析) the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards(). And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and morenatural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.1.What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?anic food helps you save money.anic food contains much more nutrients.anic food is worth the high price.anic food is not always nutritious.2.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.anic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB.traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC.both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD.there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food3.What is the author’s attitude toward organic food?A.DoubtfulB.UnconcernedC.PositiveD.Supportive完形填空8、 When Dave was eighteen,he bought a secondhand car for $ 200 so that he could travel to and from work more 1 than by bus.
