But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had beendriven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teamsof injured soldiers took part. The ne_t year, 1949, five teams took part. Fromthose beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad toStoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled wereheld in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every fouryears the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. Inother years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and notin Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.TheGames have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not meanyou can’t enjoy sport. One small source (来源) of disappointment for thosewho organize and take part in thegames, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee (委员会) toinclude disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a fewmore years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled to understand that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.56. The first games for the disabled were held ______ after SirLudwig Guttmann arrived in England.A. 40 yearsB.21 years C.10 years D.9 years57. BesidesStoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in _______.A. New YorkB.London C.Rome D.Los Angeles58. This te_ttells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann _________.A.is an early organizer of thegames for the able-bodiedB.is welcomed by the BritishgovernmentC.is an injured soldierD.is from England59. From thete_t, we may know that the writer is ________.A.one of the organizers of thegames for the disabledB.a disabled person who once tookpart in the gamesC.against holding the games forthe disabledD.in support of holding the gamesfor the disabledBGary Finkle wasseriously hurt in a swimming-pool accident seven years ago. A heavy-set, bearded man of 27, he is one of thousands of Americans who have lost actually all feeling and movement from their shoulders down. He lives with his wife, Micky, and a female monkey named Jo outside the village of Andes, New York.Gary takes partin an unusual organization called Helping Hands: Simian Aides (猴子助手) for the disabled. Theorganization supplies the disabled with trained monkeys that reduce the disabled person’s dependence on family, friends and hired servants.Using his mouth,Gary controls a small laser (激光)pointer fi_ed on his wheel-chair. With it, he directs Jo to changebooks or the tape-recorder. She brings him drinks from a refrigerator (冰箱) and clears away emptycontainers.When asked, Jo will fetch the remote control (遥控器) for the TV and place it onGary’s working table where he can operate it with his mouthstick. This mouthstick can be used for practically everything: turning the pages of a book,dialing the telephone, changing channels on TV, working at a typewriter orcomputer. If Gary’s mouthstick drops to the floor, Jo will pick it up and gently put it again into his mouth.〝I can’t imagine living without her,〞 Garysays. He will always need human assistance for such things as getting in andout of bed, bathing or changing his clothes. But having Jo reduces his dependence on Micky, making it possible for her to do things in town without worrying about her husband’s safety.60. Gary who was disabled can’t ________.A. stand upto shake hands B.greet guestsC. admirethe things outside D.turn his head61. Before Jocame to the family, Gary________.A.depended completely on his servant B.depended mainly on an assisting machine C. depended on the pity of other people D.depended completely on his wife62. The underlined word 〝her〞 in the last paragraph refersto_________.A.Gary B.Micky C.Jo D.Finkle63. This te_t is mainly about ________.A.why Gary and Jo are good friends B.Gary’s accident as a swimmerC.Gary’s life and e_perience D.trained monkeys that can help the disabledCFor a small town, Manhattan,Kansas has some big surprise. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, withrooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.The HolidayInn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out.

But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours aweek at the Holiday Inn.Ellen soonlearned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend is a good pair of shoes. She paid fifty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usuallyspend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much aboutfood to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.〝A lot ofbusiness people always stay here when they come to Manhattan〞, shee_plains.〝They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But somecouples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Thenthere are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say‘What do you suggest?’ So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say ‘Notvery’, ‘I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread and a fruit Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well, It’s verynice. Really good value.〞Ellen mayget tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people.

The topic of my speech today is how to get along with teachers.Teachers play a significant role in everyone’s growth. People often compare teachers to gardeners, who devote themselves to the development of others. Teachers are also compared to candles, which make their life meaningful by guiding others.As far as I’m concerned, only when we get along well with our teachers can we make more progress. But how can we achieve it?First of all, respect our teachers. Showing respect to teachers is the first step we should take. We should take into full consideration the efforts they make to teach and try to cooperate as much as possible.Then, keep communication going. Whenever we have a problem or a different idea, turn to them and exchange the ideas, which will improve both learning and teaching.Last but not the least, understanding is the best way. Just put yourself in teachers’ shoes. Remember there is always a way out when a problem arises.Please follow my suggestions and we will surely get along well with teachers.Thanks for your listening!听力部份录音文字稿第一节听下面5段对话。

2022-2023学年安徽省马鞍山市红星中学等3校高二上学期11月期中英语试题

2022-2023学年安徽省马鞍山市红星中学等3校高二上学期11月期中英语试题

2022-2023学年安徽省马鞍山市红星中学等3校高二上学期11月期中英语试题Some Favorite European Attractions for Chinese TouristsBicester VillageThe outskirts of the Oxfordshire town is the second most visited UK attraction for Chinese tourists — after Buckingham Palace. Three in four Chinese visitors head to Bicester aided by Mandarin signs and announcements at London Marylebone; others travel by tour bus.King’ s College, CambridgeA famous tree — for Chinese people at least —can be found in King ‘ s College, Cambridge. The willow, ignored by most, is mentioned in a much - loved poem by Xu Zhimo, “Taking Leave of Cam - bridge Again.” Xu spent a year studying at King’s College , where he was entranced (使入迷) by the works of Keats and Shelley , before returning to China to lead its modern poetry movement . Xu died at the age of just 34 in a plane crash and the willow is now considered by his fans to be a mark. A memorial stone can be found beside the tree—an essential spot for Chinese tourists to take a photo.OutletcityGermany’s answer to Bicester Village is Outletcity in Metzingen, the town in Baden - Wurttem - berg, close to Frankfurt, where Hugo Boss was founded. It has little to attract anyone beyond scores of factories. Hugo Boss was the first, but Prada, Nike, Burberry, Armani and Gucci have since followed suit.BonnThe former West German capital is another popular port of all. Chinese people love classical music— particularly Beethoven— making his birthplace an obvious highlight of any trip to Europe. The city’s tourist board offers maps in three foreign languages: English, Chinese and Japanese. VeronaBoth British and Chinese travellers like Venice, Rome and Florence — but Verona typically appears higher on the wish lists of China ‘ s tourists. That’s because of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The play is popular on UK shores, of course, but the love is doubled in China as it was among the first of the Shakespeare’s works to be translated into Mandarin, while its plot is similar to a famous Chinese folk tale, The Butter fly Lovers.1. ________ is the first most visited UK attraction for Chinese tourists.A.Buckingham Palace B.Bicester VillageC.London Marylebone D.The Shakespeare’s birthplace2. According to the text, which part in Germany is equal to Bicester Village in the UK?A.Outletcity. B.Bonn. C.Frankfurt. D.Berlin.3. ________ have something to do with Chinese literature.A.King’ s College, Cambridge and BonnB.Bonn Bicester and VillageC.King’ s College, Cambridge and VeronaD.Outletcity and VeronaIn the past year, Jeanne Raitt has had many roles while working with medical students at the KU School of Medicine-Wichita. She’s been the mom of a 5-year-old son with a serious illness, a patient relying on pain medication, and the daughter of a woman dia gnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.Raitt is among 85 Wichitans who participate in the school’s standardized patient program. She and others in the program have been trained by staff at the Wichita campus’ standardized patient center to role-play patients or family members. The sessions enable students to practice their skills in taking medical histories, communication, interpersonal relationships, and their ability to handle sensitive issues and embarrassing situations.“We provide a safe environment for st udents to practice their clinical skills before they see actual patients,” explains Jennifer Brantley, assistant director of the standardized patient center.Take the case of 55-year-old Ellen Humphries, a college professor who is being seen for abdominal (腹部的)pain. After an exam, students and professors discuss how to treat someone like Ellen, who is educated, well-known in the community, and who isn’t willing to stick to medical recommendations.“This is a great way to give medical students hands-on lea rning and training,” says Raitt. “I love watching how students learn about the variety of the cases and seeing how willing they are to accept feedback from us. Plus, it’s a bonus to get a little checkup now and then.”For Natashia Gafford, being a standardized patient has provided her with reassurance that future doctors will be able to handle different situations. Gafford, who is the mother of six boys, particularly likes it when her role-playing corresponds with real-life issues she can relate to, such as advocating for her children’s health. “It puts my mind at ease as a parent to know that doctors will learn how to take parents into consideration,” she says.4. What did Raitt experience last year?A.She took part in a medical program.B.Her son suffered from a serious illness.C.She relied on pain killer to relieve pain.D.Her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.5. What is right about Humphries?A.She suffered from very rare abdominal pain.B.She refuses to follow doctors’ advice.C.She is a well-educated doctor herself.D.She enjoys a not good reputation in her neighborhood.6. What does Gafford say about her role-playing experience?A.It arouses her interest in medicine.B.It builds her confidence in doctors.C.It helps her recognize common childhood illnesses.D.It offers her a bonus of regular checkups.7. What can be the best title for the text?A.How to become a doctor: A step-by-step guideB.Doctor-patient relationship: A technical modelC.Why sticking to medical recommendations mattersD.Standardized patients teach skills and sympathyHeat can kill. It lowers a worker’s ability to concentrate and leads to notable increases in workplace injuries, research suggests.Yet, for reasons including financial need, workplace pressure and a lack of awareness of the health impacts of high temperatures, many people continue to work past their heat tolerance. Outdoor workers, notably those within the construction and agricultural industry, are the most affected by rising heat. Even the fittest people in the world are impressionable like the Olympic athletes collapsing in the baking heat of Tokyo.There are some easy ways to reduce the risk of heat exhaustion (热衰竭). Optimizing work hours to avoid workers being out when the sun is at its hottest may have the greatest effect on employee health.Individualized, wearable sensors could be a useful tool for determining likely heat exhaustion. Early adoption of these devices would be a win-win, according to Dr Jennifer Runkle, an environmental epidemiologist (流行病学家): boosting productivity and reducing injury “while ensuring the health and safety of an ageing workforce and reducing the risk of heat exhaustion”.Wider take-up of wearable heat sensors by employees, employers and healthcare providers would also help overcome gaps in heat awareness.“One important finding we discovered in our research with outdoor workers is that there was a mismatch between workers ability to sense heat risk and their actual exposure to extreme heat gained by wearables” , said Dr Runkle.Another aid could be wearable cooling technology, but such devices are limited in availability. One such device is Sony’s Reon Pocket 2, which it launched in April. A weara ble cooling or warmingdevice worn inside clothing, it uses electrical conductors that transfer (转移) heat when electricity is run through them.There are promising examples of companies taking more responsibility for protecting workers from extreme heat, such as managers of bus drivers in Jinan, China. Responsible employers should be providing drinks and shaded rest areas to outdoor workers.8. What does the underlined word “impressionable” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Highly impressive. B.Slightly sensible. C.Easilyinfluenced.D.Hardlyevaluated.9. What did Dr Runkle find out?A.The workforce was ageing rapidly.B.Wearable heat sensors lacked great accuracy.C.Employers attached little importance to heat exhaustion.D.Workers’ heat awareness and actual heat were different.10. Why are bus drivers in Jinan mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To stress the popularity of Reon Pocket 2.B.To show their employers are responsible.C.To reveal they are very tolerant of extreme heat.D.To describe their unbearable pressure of work.11. What can be the best title for the text?A.Adjustments to Work Hours Can Be Life-saving.B.Campaigners Are Calling for Workplace Protection.C.How Can New Technology Protect Outdoor Workers?D.How Were Body Temperature Monitors Invented?Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty frightening. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age--related memory loss.After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, th at’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says.“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways.” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a widely known to boost the brain.12. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A.Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.B.Inability to recall details of one’s life experiences.C.Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D.Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.13. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A.Check the brain’s cognitive reserve.B.Stop medications affecting memory.C.Turn to a professional for assistance.D.Exercise to improve their well-being.14. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for fight against memory loss?A.Having regular physical and mental checkups.B.Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.C.Engaging in known memory repair activities.D.Staying active both physically and mentally.15. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “boost” in the last paragraph?A.Reduce. B.Benefit. C.Increase. D.Depress.You form an impression ofa person based on his postures, gestures and facial expressions, as soon as you meet, or even see him. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 16 . Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. 17 as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. 18 because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should havé a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.19 . You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust’in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eve contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. 20 .Farming and GardeningAgriculture has a long history in China. Much of the wisdom _________ by early Chinese scientists is still useful for farmers and gardeners today. One of Chin a’ s early agricultural scientists was Jia Sixie, who lived in the sixth century AD. He spent his time doing _______ into agriculture. He collected information, did experiments and learnt from the _______ of farmers.Around 540 AD, he wrote a book called Qimin Yaoshu.The book is about both farming and_________ It includes advice on the following _________ growing green vegetables and fruit trees, and keeping animals. Jia Sixie’ s book is a practical guide for farming. Firstly, as a farmer you should do things at the right time of the year. If you sow seeds and _______ young plants in the fields at the correct time of the year, your work will be less and _______ will be better. The _______of the soil is also very important. Examine the soil on your farm _______. If the condition of your soil is not good, you should improve it. Before sowing or planting crops, you must clean rough ground and ________ weeds. The best harvest is reached when farmers ________ the crops in their fields. For example, do not-plant rice __________ in the same field. But if you plant rice in a field one year and wheat in the field the next year, you will ________ good crops.Other scientists said that wheat should be planted with ________ between the plants, but Jia did experiments and ________ that planting wheat close together was better.21.A.recovered B.discovered C.reported D.impressed22.A.research B.theory C.experiment D.statistics23.A.adventure B.experience C.tradition D.association 24.A.nursing B.producing C.gardening D.trading25.A.programs B.topics C.events D.subjects26.A.grow B.mix C.drop D.throw27.A.results B.bonds C.hopes D.dreams28.A.application B.situation C.combination D.condition29.A.gently B.carefully C.gradually D.frequently30.A.loosen B.relieve C.remove D.lower31.A.surround B.enhance C.change D.improve32.A.one after another B.now and then C.year after year D.here and there33.A.harvest B.collect C.generate D.export34.A.layers B.patterns C.balance D.space35.A.decided B.bet C.intended D.showed阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(一个词)或括号内单词的正确形式.Food is life; it gives us the nourishment(营养) 36 (need) to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy. Brian Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, 37 (say) we also eat certain foods 38 they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. 39 others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good.How does a food become comfort food? 40 is believed by Professor Wansink that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives. “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it.” Now, I often have this soup when I am tired or 41 (worry). And it helps me feel better,” says one of Wansink’ s friends.Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research (研究) at the University of Illinois says “yes”. In his study, the favorite comfort for both men an d women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles, 42 women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods 43 ( much) when they are sad or worried.44 (general) speaking, not all comfort foods are junk foods. About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansink’s study were healthy dishes, soups and vegetables. It shows that a comfort food can be45 (benefit) and good to you.46. 假定你是李华。

After serving for two years in the South Pacific, he returned to his native state and studied at Kenyon College. He later studied at the Dayton Art Institute, where he met his wife. Eileen Schauder.From 1950 to 1953, Winters hosted several local programs. After moving to New York in 1953. Winters earned a spot on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts.By this time , the young comedian had earned a reputation as a pioneer comic and impressionist, in New York City and beyond.In 1956, Jonathan Winters began starring in his own weekly TV variety series, The Jonathan Winters Show.The show made television history the same year, when it broadcast the first public demonstration of color videotape.

A brief introduction to Jonathan Winters’ life.CYoung people today need to see leaders who truly act as role models. It’s no surprise that young people are losing their sense of social value in such a toughsocial situation. One million o f young people are now unemployed. Career services have been cut down and education maintenance allowance is long gone. Student tuition fees have trebled(三倍的)in a single year.It is not enough for young people to believe in themselves. They need support. This is exactly the kind of help on offer to my fellow youth activists at UpRising, a new combination of organizations supporting youth to take socia l action. “Society has given up on motivating young people. It has created a generational idea of what young people are like,” says Ifraah Samatar, who joined UpRising.By the age of 12, she could just speak English fluently. While her mother relied on her young daughter to interpret for her. Samatar was quite exactly the voice of her mother. “It was a real burden. Sometimes I had to leave school and the teachers did not really understand or sympathize. I supported my mother but there was never really anybo dy to support me,” she recalls.Samatar’ s story is not unusual; it resonates(引起共鸣) with the young people in her community in Tower Hsmlets. With 110 languages spoken in the area, families there often turn to their children to meet this need. Interpreting becomes a part of the chil dren’s daily routine.While on the leadership program run by UpRising, Samatar, along with three other young people , set up Inter-Voice, which supports young interpreters and recognizes and celebrates the work they do . UpRising was established five years ago by the Young Foundation , a think-tank based in east London.Samatar is a real role model who can inspire lots of young people not only to change their own lives but also to have a great impact on the lives of those around them. We can find leadership on our doorsteps and within our young people—if only we are given a chance.28. What can we learn about UpRising?A. It does what the society has given up.B. It makes young people know what they are like.C. It helps young people truly act as role models.D. It supports young people to take social action.29. According to the passage, we can know that Samatar_____.A. had to interpret for her mother every dayB. dropped out of school and joined UpRisingC. d idn’t care when nobody understood herD. couldn’t speak English until she was 12 years old30. What do Samatar and other young people do in UpRising?A. They set up Young Foundation.B. They run a leadership program.C. They help young interpreters.D. They interpret for families t hat need it.DFor anyone who has regular trouble with their teeth, science has some good news. Humans could one day grow beaks (鸟啄) ,a biologist has predicted . Unlike teeth, a beak would not rot, chip or fall out. This would make it “more solid and practical”, said Dr. Gareth Fraser.The bad news for anyone worrying about a coming trip to the dentist is that the change in which the teeth would mix together to form a tough, pointy beak is several million years away.Dr. Fraser, biologist at Sheffield University, is interested in why humans grow only two sets of teeth – baby teeth and adult ones --- while some creatures have an endless supply. A shark, for instance, will grow new teeth around once a fortnight. And pufferfish constantly produce the tooth –like material that their beak is made from, meaning any wear and tear is rapidly mended.Dr. Fraser says that he has identified the cells behind this constant regeneration (再生). The nicknamed “tooth fairy ” cells could hold the key to allowing us to grow set after set of teeth. This would allow us to grow extra teeth as needed. It may also be possible for us to grow teeth that are nicer than nature intended.Dr Fraser said: “I guess people will be looking at whether you can make perfect teeth” He added: “With our extended lives and modern diets, the limited supply ofhuman teeth is really no longer fit for purpose. Our research is focused on looking for ways in which we can copy the way that fish create an endless supply of teeth and bring this ability to humans.”But don’t stop taking care of your teeth because it will be around 50 years before we can grow extra teeth as needed. In the shorter term, in may be possible to create material that repairs rotten and damaged teeth, removing the need for fillings.31. What did the biologist predict?A. Humans could one day grow beaks.B. Humans can grow perfect teeth again in the future.C. Human teeth will never rot, chip or fall out in the future.D. Human teeth will be more solid and practical in 50years.32. What does the underlined expression “wear and tear” mean?A. damageB. tirednessC. separationD. old-fashion33. What is the function of “tooth fairy” cells?A. They may help us keep away from the dentist.B. They must allow us to grow set after set of teeth.C. They may allow us to grow teeth that are nicer than nature intended.D. They must allow us to grow extra teeth as needed.34. What can we infer from the passage?A. Human teeth are perfectly fit for the modern diets.B. We needn’t take good care of our teeth 50 years later.C. Humans may create an endless supply of teeth in the future.D. Teeth can repair the rotten or damaged ones by themselves in the future.35. The passage can be classified as___.A. An advertisementB. a diaryC. a reportD. a book review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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
