"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. "I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organized the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.Yousafzai praised Rahman's work during the ceremony. She spoke through video conferencing. "All children have the right to be protected from violence no matter if it is physical or mental, offline or online," she said. "Cyberbullying damages that right."(1)What does Sadat Rahman devote himself to?A.Battling online violence.B.Helping poor children.C.Being a brave fighter.D.Removing school bullying.(2)What caused Sadat Rahman to start his project?A.People's lack of education.B.His own experience of being bullied.C.A girl's death from cyberbullying.D.The wide use of mobile phone apps.(3)What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The March for Our Lives event.B.Human rights activists in the world.C.A horrible mass school shooting.D.Some previous winners of the prize.(4)What can we infer from Yousafzai's words?A.Rahman's efforts have paid off.B.Cyberbullying should be got rid of.C.All children have the right to fight against violence.D.Children are faced with physical and mental bullying.4.Americans have changed, at least when it comes to their apple preferences. The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp(夺取)the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture(口感)and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding(培育)program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness(酸味)to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.(1)How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.(2)What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.(3)Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.(4)What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones.翻译:在以超快的速度与自己对弈数千场,并从获胜位置中学习之后,Alpha Zero独立地发现了几种翻译:著名的国际象棋策略,甚至发明了新的策略。

It is a world­famous castle.BNew Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maori. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before - in the 14th century.For a long time the British government was not very interested in there far away islands. It was made a British colony (殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’ land. So in 1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two people. The next 50 years were very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from the new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200,000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42,000.By this century the two people have lived in peace. For many years the “British” New Zealanders looked down on the Maoris. But in recent years they have had equal rights, andthe Maori language is one of the languages of the country with English. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live on North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.4. The Maoris began to live in New Zealand ________.A. after 1770B. before 400C. in the 1300sD. 1,400 years ago5. After the first visit to New Zealand, the British government showed little interest in it because ________.A. there were dark-skinned people living thereB. New Zealand was an island countryC. the Maoris did not know the English languageD. it was too far away from Britain6. When the British settlers first came to New Zealand, the native people________.A. were afraid of themB. were kind to themC. hated themD. fought against them7. Wars between the Maoris and the British settlers _______.A. broke out in 1840B. made 42,000 Maoris lost their livesC. brought diseases to MaorisD. lasted more than fifty yearsCIn the 1940s, Lena Horne was the first African­American in Hollywood to sign a long­term contract with a major movie studio. Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant. During this period, African­American actors were mostly l imited to playing servants or African natives.But this refusal also limited her movie career. Horne was generally only offered the role of a nightclub singer. Her characters did not interact with white characters in these movies. This way, her part could be cut from the version of the movie that played in Southern States.Lena Horne later wrote that the movie producers did not make her into a servant, but they did not make her into anything else, either. Lena Horne once said that World War Ⅱhelped make her a star. She was popular with both black and white servicemen. She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops. During one event, she noted that German prisoners of war were permitted to sit closer to the stage than black soldiers. These experiences led to Lena Horne's work in the civil rights movement.She protested racial separation at the hotels where she performed. She took action so that she and her musicians would be permitted to stay in those hotels. Black musicians at the time generally stayed in black neighborhoods. Lena Horne also sang at civil rights gatherings. She took part in the March on Washington protest in 1963. It was during this event that Martin Luther King Junior gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.Lena Horne performed in a strong and expressive way. One expert said she was not warm and amiable like white female singers at the time. Instead, she was a fierce black woman.8.I n the 1940s, an African­American actor may most properly play the ro le of ____A. a gentleman from Britain.B. a police officer of America.C. a servant of a hotel.D. a famous singer from Italy.9. From Paragraph 2, we know that Lena Horne's deal with MGM ______.A. won her a lot of respectB. didn't bring her any good rolesC. made her popular in the USD. made her become a famous singer10. When Lena Horne saw how German prisoners and black soldiers were seated, how did she most probably feel?A. Angry.B. Satisfied.C. Interested.D. Moved.11. Paragraph 4 mainly tells about Lena Horne's ________.A. hope for a bright futureB. effort she put into musicC. effort against racial separationD. relationship with Martin Luther King JuniorDTo country walkers, they are the plants to be avoided. But to gardeners, it appears that stinging nettles (大荨麻) may be attractive as they are now being sold for £7.99 to those who wish to boost the wildlife in their flowerbeds.The website sells stinging nettles in its “weeds (杂草) and wildlife plan ts” section, and says supplies have already been snapped up by eager buyers.The product description tells gardeners: “Many people are now planting these in their gardens for wildlife. They are important food for the caterpillars (幼虫) of red admirals (赤蛱蝶), peacocks, and tortoiseshell butterflies. If you live in the town and there are not wildlife friendly plants in your garden, this one has to be your first choice.”It also suggests the nettles could make a “healthy snack” for people as the plant is rich in vitamins A and C, iron, potassium, manganese and calcium. They can be used to make a delicious soup.Chris Bonnet from the website told the Daily Mail: “Some call them weeds but we don't want to hurt their feelings. After all, a weed is only a plant in the wrong place. For gardeners who want to do their bit for the nation's wildlife they're a must.”“Also available on the site are dandelion (蒲公英) plants for £3.99 each and buttercups (毛茛) for £5.99. Although many gardeners are trying to remove dandelion plants and buttercups from their lawns, supplies of the dandelions are also said to have been snapped up. Buyers are advised they should be planted to provide yellow flowers.”Mr Bonnet added: “While plants such as buttercups and dandelions may seem like weeds in the middle of a lawn, if they are planted in a flowerbed they can look beautiful andreally make a garden beautiful. Demand has been surprising. We are having to clear extra space in our nursery so we can grow more.”12.The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.A.scareB. increaseC. protectD. harm13. What do we know about stinging nettles?A. They can be eaten by humans.B. They are harmful to the environment.C. They are popular with country walkers.D. They look great in the middle of a lawn.14. What can be inferred from Chris Bonnet's words?A. Buttercups and dandelions are weeds.B. It's not easy to take care of a flowerbed.C. His website is expecting a promising market.D. Stinging nettles are more useful than dandelions.15. In which part of a magazine can we probably read this text?A. Travel.B. Culture.C. Nature.D. Fashion.七选五:TOP 4 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN FITNESSBrain fitness has basic principles: variety and curiosity. When anything you do becomes second nature, you need to make a change.

hitmovie Up-in reparation for a more ambitious journey and a new record.Fearless Trappe,from North Carolina,stepped into the cartoon themed home before flying above the Leon International Balloon Festival in Mexico more than a week ago.The 38-year-old Trappe was using the event as a warm-up for his planned trans-Atlantic flight scheduled for next summer.He aims to complete the 2,500-mile journey in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons.The brave man is learning to sail a lifeboat,in case he needs to ditch into the ocean during the danger-filled adventure.He sill fly at between 18,000 feet and 25,000 feet,beating his previous world altitude record of 21,600 feet,and must fly uninterrupted a distance ten times longer than his previous world record of 230 miles in order to succeed.The adventurer Trappe,who holds records for crossing the Alps,flying the most cluster balloons,and the longest distance,has spent his entire career,building up to this ambitious plan.“I didn’t wake up one day and think:‘I’ going to fly across the Atlantic,’”he said.“Every attempt before this was prepared for this fight,I’ve been training for a long time”.1.The adventurer flew across the English Channel to______.A.test the balloons B.launch a houseC.shoot a hit movie D.prepare for breaking a record2.To finish the journey,he will fly a distance of______.A.2500 miles B.18,000 feet C.25,000 feet D.230 miles 3.About the ambitious journey,which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.When he will fly B.How high he sill flyC.How far he will fly D.How long it will take him4.How many world records does Jonathan hold?A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five5.What does he last paragraph imply?A.Trappe can’t sleep worrying about the adventureB.Trappe was born to set world recordsC.Trappe always keeps his ambition in mindD.Trappe never thought of crossing the Atlantic before4.(15分)Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher,and the teacher will ask us some questions.Sometimes,the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class.When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics,remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying.You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent,waiting to hear what you have to say.You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember,too,that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you.The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation.You must take special care that you can be heard.1.When you speak to the class,you should speak ______.A.as slowly as possible B.in a low voiceC.loudly D.forcefully2.Usually,when you speak to the class,the class is ______.A.noisy B.quiet C.having a rest D.serious3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house.A.not very different from B.sometimes the same asC.sometimes not the same as D.not the same as4.If you are having a conversation with an official,the most important thing for you is ______.A.to show your ability B.to be very gentleC.to make sure that you can be heard D.to put the official at ease5.The main idea of this passage is ______.A.that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB.that we must speak loudlyC.that we must keep silent at any timeD.that we must talk with the class5.(15分)You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings,you say hello,and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood?Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negativeperson is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A.make a comparison B.offer an evidenceC.introduce a topic D.describe a daily scene2.How can negative people have effect on us?A.By influencing our emotion.B.By telling us the nature of life.C.By changing our ways of thinking.D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.3.Some negative people base their happiness on ______.A.other people’s pity for them B.making other people unhappy C.building up a positive attitude D.other people’s respect for them 4.According to the passage,to reduce negative people’s influence on us,we are advised to ______.A.change negative people’s attitudes to lifeB.show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC.make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD.communicate with negative people as little as possible5.What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A.Favorable.B.Critical.C.Indifferent.D.Supportive.三、语法填空(本题共计1小题,总分20分)6.(20分)Every four years, millions of people gather in summer 1______ (watch) soccer games. This year, the World Cup kicked off on June 14 in Russia.Leading up to the most exciting sporting event, Live It Up, the official World Cup song, was released on May 25.2______ (perform) by US artists Nicky Jam, Will Smith, and Albanian singer Era Istref, the song has a line that goes, "One life, live it up, 'cause we got one life."With a great melody and catchy lyrics, the song stands for "the 3______ (excite), the celebration and the unity 4______ people all over the world will share during the 2018 World Cup". In fact, ever since the first official World Cup song came out in 1966, the relationship between soccer and music 5______ (grow) stronger and stronger. As The Telegraph put it, "Listening to 6______ (inspire) music encourages people to take more risks."One of the greatest soccer 7______ (coach), Giovanni Trapattoni, even believes that listening to music can teach players great lessons. "It is the intervals, speed, and rhythm 8______ help you learn the logical skills you need to read a game." he said.Indeed, the right music can make all the difference. As Colombian musician Juanes said, soccer and music have a lot 9______ common. "You need your feet for soccer and you need words for music, but they arouse one and 10______ same thing--- passion."四、书面表达(本题共计1小题,总分30分)7.(30分)假定你是李华,你的英国朋友Chris来信询问你校开展“最美校园”活动的情况。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). Once students recognize it, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue , encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.51. A. B. C. D.52. A. B. C. D.53. A. B. C. D.54. A. B. C. D.55. A. B. C. D.56. A. B. C.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.(A)The first step in exercising for most people is determining whether or not they should. This is particularly true with anyone over thirty-five, especially if they have been heavy smokers. Likewise, young adults who have been very inactive should proceed slowly and with caution. A physical evaluation from a physician is recommended, preferably one that includes an exercise-stress test. While a person is exercising, a stress test detects cardiovascular(心血管的) problems that might not show up when the body is at rest. This is done by monitoring blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen cons umption, and the heart’s electrical activity while exercising.Whatever exercise program is selected, it is important to start with warm-up periods. These should include stretching exercises, jumping jacks(原地跳跃运动), or active walking. The idea is to increase heart rate and circulation slowly without placing a sudden strain on the heart or the muscles that are starting to work.The next phase in developing an exercise program is to determine the amount of exercise that is enough to condition the muscles and cardiovascular system without overly straining the body. This involves taking one’s pulse and finding one’s target zone. This target zone, or safe-training pulse rate, is established by subtracting one’s age from 220 and then taking 60 percent to 80 percent of that total. If you are just starting to exercise 60 percent is recommended; 80 percent is recommended if you are already in good condition.36.What is NOT mentioned as a part of a stress test in Paragraph 1?A.Watching the heart’s el ectrical activity.B. Examining the blood pressure.C. Observing oxygen consumption.D. Increasing blood circulation37.The word “overly”(Line 2, Para.3) in the context best means ____.A)liable B)excessively C)extensive D)readily38.In order not to place much strain on the body, if you are a beginner and at the age of 45, the safe-training pulse rate suggested would be ____.A)105 B)220 C)140 D)17539.The author writes the passage mainly to recommend ____.A)that heavy smokers should quit smoking for the sake of their healthB)that we should proceed with warm-up periods after doing exercisesC)that young adults should live an inactive life instead of doing exercisesD)that we should take up physical exercises in the light of our physical condition答案:36.D)Increasing blood circulation. 参考原文第一段最后一句This is done by monitoring blood pressure(B), pulse rate, oxygen consumption(C), and the heart’s electrical activity(A) while exercising.37.B)excessively, 翻译为“过量的”, 最适合.38.A)105. 首先参考原文公式(220-age) ×60%~80%, 然后对照原文If you are just starting to exercise 60 percent is recommended得出算式(220-45) ×60%=105.39.D)that we should take up physical exercises in the light of our physical condition.参考译文:对多数人来说从事锻炼的第一步是确定是否应该参加锻炼。

AWhen Thanksgiving is drawing near,many families are getting ready to enjoy a tradition that goes back hundreds of years:baking and eating delicious pie.Two classic desserts will battle it out at holiday tables.Is pumpkin pie better than apple pie?Yes—pumpkin pie is perfectThree reasons why pumpkin pie is better than apple pie1.As one of America’s first crops,pumpkin has become fall’s signature flavor since the early18th century.Even300years ago,Americans knew it was the best pie.2.With its warm,comforting mix of cinnamon(肉桂),nutmeg(豆蔻),and other spices,delicious pumpkin pie gives you perfect bites that melt in your mouth,which simply can’t be beaten.3.As a bonus,pumpkins are packed full of vitamins and nutrients that are good for your body.So cut a perfectly shaped slice of pumpkin goodness and dig in.No—apple pie all the wayThree reasons why pumpkin pie is not better than apple pie1.Apple pie is just about as old as our country and even appeared in America’s first cookbook. Have you heard the expression“It’s as American as apple pie”?No one says that about pumpkin pie!2.There are countless variations on the classic,with different spices and flavorings,dried fruits and nuts,and different crusts(酥皮).Apple pie is the clear winner for people who love the balance of fruit and buttery pie crust.3.To quote another expression,“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”That means apples are nutritious and help keep us healthy.Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue,click here to vote in our debate.Vote YES if you think pumpkin pie is better than apple pie or NO if you don’t.We’ll publish the results next week.21.What do pumpkin pie and apple pie have in common?a.They are full of nutrients.b.They have similar flavor.c.They have deep roots in America.A.abB.bcC.acD.abc22.Where can the text be found?A.On a menu.B.On a website.C.In a magazine.D.In a cookbook.23.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To invite readers to vote in a debate.B.To distinguish pumpkin pie from apple pie.C.To advertise pumpkin pie is better than apple pie.D.To encourage baking and eating pie at Thanksgiving.BEugene Newman Parker,a leading figure in heliospheric(日球层的)physics for the past half century,passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15.He was94.Hailed(誉为)as a visionary in the field of heliophysics,Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.NASA even stated that“the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr.Eugene Parker.In2018,Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”,a continuous stream of charged particles(粒子)that flow off the sun.It can become violent,causing space weather that impacts the Earth.When Parker’s research was published in1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism and ridicule by the scientific community.The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空),and was thus completely empty of any matter.But,there were no errors in his study or his calculations,and the theory was later proven to be correct in1962,when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative,expect trouble.But think critically about it because if you’re wrong,you want to be the first one to know that.”Parker never co-authored a paper with his students,thus urging them to be independent.Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.His son Eric said,“My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a‘big dog’our dad was in the field.”They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death,they traveled to Lund,Sweden,to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.24.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.B.The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.25.Why did people view Parker’s theory of“solar wind”skeptically at first?A.It went against the popular opinion at that time.B.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.26.What did Parker suggest young researchers do?A.seek close cooperationB.learn by trial and errorC.avoid high expectationspete against others27.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage?A.straightforward and generousB.responsible and accessibleC.intelligent yet meanD.distinguished yet modestCAccording to body language expert Robert Phipps,the way people sleep at night actuallydetermines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers,those who stress the most,tend to sleep in the fetal position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position,with nearly58percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up,the more comfort we are seeking,according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body,with arms at each side,as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace,indicates stubbornness,and these people(the 28percent who sleep this way)often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this,the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,”according to Phipps.Yearner(向往型)sleepers are next on the list.About25percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front,looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics,always expecting the best results,explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style makes up17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people,according to Phipps,feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles,but also the least comfortable,and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion,Phipps has only one more thing to add,“A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”28.What is the main idea of the passage?A.A Good Night's Sleep Sets You Up for the Following DayB.Your Personality Depends a Lot on How You Sleep at NightC.How You Sleep at Night Affects What You Do the Next DayD.Which Sleeping Position Helps You Sleep Comfortably29.Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?30.The underlined word“rigid”is closest in meaning to“________”.A.stubbornB.flexiblefortableD.strange31.Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A.The fetal position.B.The log position.C.The freefaller position.D.The yearner position.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy,nut,and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to makingmilk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some“really bad”dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母).This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelf life and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company’s website,when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates84%less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.productsC.peopleD.reasons33.The company’s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently availableC.the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.their worry that farm animals were poorly treated34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.Fresher Milk,Better FutureD.Making Milk without Cows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。

高二上学期期末考试(英语)试题含答案

高二上学期期末考试(英语)(考试总分:120 分)一、阅读理解(本题共计4小题,总分37.5分)1.(7.5分)Beijing Imperial Court Food(宫廷菜)Imperial Court Food is a style of food with origins in the Imperial Palace and it is well-known for the original features of the raw materials and carefully selected ingredients. In addition, the dishes are decorated with different colored vegetables and fruits in various shapes. Each dish has a special name, such as Yu Feng Huan Chao. Today, Imperial Court Food has become an important school of Chinese cooking with several places offering this special taste. While expensive, it is worth trying.Fangshan Restaurant is the most famous one offering the first-class Imperial Court Food. The restaurant is made up of three parts and it can hold 500 people eating at the time. It is decorated in imperial style with the design of dragon and phoenix. Here is the best place to experience the life of the Chinese emperors in former days. Now, it serves nearly 800 kinds of Imperial Court Dishes. Among them, Man-Han Banquet is the most famous.The layout(布局) of the restaurant follows the imperial palace. When eating in the restaurant, diners are served by waitresses in traditional imperial clothes.The dishes and snacks cooked in this restaurant are worthy to be tried. And, the traditional performances at night is one of the restaurant's attractions.Both of the food and services of this restaurant are so good. You can also enjoy some wonderful performances in this large courtyard.(1).Imperial Court Food stands out because of the following EXCEPT ______.A.pleasant namesB.reasonable pricesC.selective materialsD.pretty decorations(2).If you'd like to try Man-Han Banquet, which restaurant should you go to?A.Da Zhai Men.B.Royal Palace.C.Yushan Restaurant.D.Fangshan Restaurant.(3).In which restaurant can you enjoy Chinese traditional performances?A.Da Zhai Men.B.Y ushan Restaurant.C.Fangshan Restaurant.D.Royal Palace.2.(10分)The capital of France―Paris, also has a traffic problem like all big cities: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气). So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (“Velib” comes from vélo liberté, or “bicycle freedom”) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy(25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle―they'll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. ”(1).What can we know about the Velib scheme?A.Its bikes have no baskets.B.Its bikes are light and colorful.C.It aims to make traveling easier.D.It owns more stations than the subway.(2).How much should you pay for using a Velib for 40 minutes?A.€1B.€ 29.C.€ 30.D.No money.(3).Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?A.The cost is rather high.B.It`s hard to find a Velib station.C.It's not suitable for a long journey.D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.(4).What s the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Uncaring.D.Worried.3.(10分)Researchers at Harvard Medical School have confirmed that people who suffer a heart attack when there is a marathon taking place nearby have a 15 percent higher chance of dying within the next month than if the event strikes on a non-race day.They found that, despite the group of emergency services personnel usually present along the 26.2-mile route, the traffic is often so blocked up by road closures that key minutes are lost getting patients to hospital.“When it comes to treating people in the pain of a heart attack, minutes do matter―heart muscle dies quickly during a heart attack,” said Dr Anupam Jena, who led the research.Previous studies have examined death rates among marathon runners to assess the cardiac(心脏的) risks of endurance training. This is believed to be the first research analyzing impact of such races on those living nearby.The investigators examined 10 years' worth of patient records analyzing death rates among older Americans, 65 years of age and over, within 30 days of having a heart attack or a cardiac arrest(心脏停搏) near a major marathon.Death rates among patients hospitalised on the day of the race were compared with those hospitalised five weeks prior or five weeks after the race, and researchers also compared death rates among people living close to the event and those living in areas unaffected by street closures.“When cities host big marathons, or when people participate in races, they don't think that there might be a chance that a person not taking part in the race could die because of the event,” said Jena.(1).What did the scientists find from the research?A.Marathon races do harm to the players.B.Major marathons see many athletes die.C.Most people suffer a heart attack during races.D.Marathon increases the chances of heart attack death.(2).What can we learn about the research trom paragraph 4?A.It is hard to avoid dying during marathon races.B.Treatment is usually absent during a heart attack.C.It is a research on effect of marathons on nearby people.D.It is suggested that people should give up marathons.(3).What may people think of the result of the research from the text?A.Astonishing.B.Regretful.mon.D.Coincidental.(4).Where is the text most probably from?A.Local sports games.B.Science and technology.C.Health and medicine.D.Environment and energy.4.(10分)A recent study suggests that vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal, and prevent scarring(结疤). The vitamin, which is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunshine, is believed to help protect against burning.Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons why the body produces the chemical.The research from Birmingham University, has found they may also help relieve other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and recorded their levels of vitamin D. They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and fewer scars.Professor Janet Lord said:“Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse results in burn patients including life-threatening infections(感染), death and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve the condition for burn patients.”Professor Lord and her team are now focusing on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future.The amount of reduction in patients' vitamin D levels was not related to the severity(严重程度) of the burn, so levels may also be decreased in minor burn injury, suggesting taking vitamin D pills could also help people with everyday burns. Public Health England nowrecommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.(1).What does the new study find?A.People with low vitamin D levels get burned easily.B.Vitamin D helps with the recovery from burn injury.C.Vitamin D pills aid in reducing the swelling from burns.D.Vitamin D is more beneficial to serious burns than minor burns.(2).What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.The severity of one's burn reflects his vitamin D levels.B.Vitamin D pills are more needed in the autumn months.C.Burn patients lacking vitamin D are at high risk of infection.D.Minor burns have no effect on patients' vitamin D levels.(3).What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The researchers.B.Vitamin D pills.C.Previous studies.D.Some kinds of vitamins.(4).Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Vitamin D: A Necessity for Our HealthB.Vitamin D Pills: When Are They Needed?C.Vitamin D: How Much Does the Body Need?D.Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns &. Prevent Scarring二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分12.5分)5.(12.5分)China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. __1___ Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.In recent decades, a series of wildlife protection movements have been carried out by the central government. __2___ The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these success stortes.The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AVenice is the “Queen” of the Adriatic Sea(亚得里亚海). Every year thousands of people from all over the world travel to Italy to visit the city. Do you know why they like to go there for a visit?Venice is a very beautiful city. It is quite different from other cities in the world. There aren’t any roads and streets in the city, so there aren’t any cars and buses. There are many canals(运河) in the city. There is one big canal and o ne hundred and seventy-seven small canals. People move up and down the canals in boats to go to work, go shopping or visit their friends.But Venice is sinking. It is going down and the water is up. In 2040 Venice will be under water. The Adriatic Sea will cover the city. The Venetians (威尼斯人) love their city and want to stay there. So they want to save Venice from the sea. They do not want to leave. How can they save Venice? They can build some strong huge walls and gates in the sea. The gates will close to keep too much water out. Thus Venice will not sink.21.From this short article we know Venice is______.A .a very beautiful woman of the Adriatic SeaB .the most important woman in ItalyC .a very important and beautiful place of the Adriatic Sea.D. the most important city in Italy22. People from all parts of the world go to visit Venice because _____.A. there are 177 canals in the city.B. it is sinking into the Adriatic Sea.C. there are a lot of kinds of boats on the canalsD. it is not only beautiful but also quite different from other cities23. The Venetians usually go to work or visit their friends _____A. by busB. by bikeC. in carsD. in boats24. Because the Adriatic Sea will cover it, the Venetians _____.A. have to leave Venice in 2040B. will try to do something to save their cityC. want to stay there until the water covers the cityD. do not love the city any longerB.People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological(生态的) balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed(处理)of. But while more and more new and complex goods are produced, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizers cannot restore the balance.Whatever its underlying reasons there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only c ompanies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the produces we use in our daily lives.25. The main cause of pollution is _____.A. our ever-increasing populationB. increased amounts of a natural substanceC. the release of artificial or natural substance into the environmentD. the production of new industrial goods26.

Life for these people is different from that for younger Americans. Most senior citizens retire, or no longer work full time. Also it is unusual for people of this age to live with their children and grandchildren. Grandparents tend to live in their own houses or apartments away from their families.For many senior citizens, the years after 65 are not enjoyable. They feel unproductive when they no longer work. Their lives lose meaning. In addition, they may feel lonely being away from their families and the contacts (联系) they had in their work. Moreover, they become more worried about their health as they grow older. If they live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.Other senior citizens enjoy their lives. They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and travel. They associate with their fellow senior citizens who have common interests and who are free too. Many senior citizens move to retirement communities (社区) located in warm climates. Some senior citizens continue to work beyond retirement age. Many find new jobs and professional opportunities after they retire.The number of senior citizens in the U.S. is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. Nowadays the average (平均的) age of Americans is more than 74 years. Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles, senior citizens are gaining social influence (影响力) in the country, both politically and economically. What they care for is how to receive a wider audience (听众) than ever before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.29.
