2019-2020学年重庆市万州第二中学高三语文期中考试试卷及答案
2019-2020学年重庆市万州第二中学高三语文期中考试试卷及答案一、现代文阅读（36分）(一)现代文阅读I(9分)阅读下面的文字，完成下面小题。
在中国传统文人的生活和理想中，诗书画集大成于自身是最高标准，最为众所周知的如王维，他的诗画面感极强，其画诗味更浓，苏轼在《东坡题跋书摩诘〈蓝田烟雨图〉》里评价：“味摩诘之诗，诗中有画；观摩诘之画，画中有诗。
”又如王羲之，他的《兰亭集序》，其实就是为一个雅集一个派对写的序，诗人在喜悦得意的时候信手挥就的书稿被后世奉为书中圣帖，传说唐太宗最大的心愿就是将《兰亭集序》带进坟墓。
如此等等，几乎所有的古代文人都很难从诗人、画家、书法家的身份里单独剥离出来，时代、生活方式和审美传统等因素造就了中国古典艺术的特殊品质，诗书画成为中国文人身上最显著也最耐人寻味的标志。
但是这个艺术传统，在急速变化、眼花缭乱的当代社会中保留起来更为艰难和稀有，尤其是当代文学领域，能够称得上诗书画全能、带有传统文人风韵的更是凤毛麟角。
至于当代的社会中，这种境界就更为稀有。
目前还活跃在文坛的作家中，文学、绘画、书法兼修的，贾平凹算是一位。
从上世纪70年代公开发表作品以来，贾平凹的写作题材和体裁都很广泛。
其诗和散文汲取了中国传统文化的精妙，用现代语言融会贯通，呈现“既传统又现代，既写实又高远”的境像。
近年来影响颇大的长篇小说《废都》《秦腔》《古炉》《带灯》《老生》《极花》等，每一部都用不同的艺术手段呈现不同的社会现实。
同时，他的书法绘画作品亦在朴拙厚重中气韵流动，极具古风。
贾平凹承载了中国传统文化中诗书画一体的美学传统，难怪汪曾祺称他作“鬼才作家”。
当然，作家并不是要一味追求这三种艺术的技术性，恰恰相反，他应该努力打破技艺本身的束缚，力图达到诗书画意相融相生的境界。
对于绘画和书法，他反对那种仅仅对技艺本身的追求，认为过于追求技法会使作品格局变小，千篇一律，“没有精神意象的现实作品不是现实主义作品，我画莲喜欢画出藕、茎和花，莲花就是藕的精神之花，这朵花是艳丽的，洁净的，艳丽和洁净得又无比哀伤。
2019学年重庆市高一上学期期中考试语文试卷【含答案及解析】
2019学年重庆市高一上学期期中考试语文试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、现代文阅读1. 阅读下面的文宇，完成后面试题。
名士家风两晋南北朝的各个家族，权势虽有大有小，有久有暂，有长有消，但其为“权势”则一，其于家风则有异。
“家风”二字，完全可以对等译为家族精神文化传统。
当时士人好教子弟，诫子弟，以至南北朝之末有集大成式的《颜氏家训》一书，正是向后世传递自家传统，当时又好修撰“家谱”“家录”“家传”之类，也是提醒后世保存家族传统，如谢灵运《山居赋》有云：“家传以申世模。
”便明言以家传申述家族文化模式的用心。
各个家族的家风除有“共相”外，又有相对而异、保持甚久的“殊相”。
何为陈郡谢氏家风的殊相？《南史·谢晦等传》史官评论说：“谢氏自晋以降，雅道相传。
”显然，“雅道相传”便是谢氏特有的殊相。
“雅道相传”四字甚好。
“雅道”是一种精神文化风貌，“相传”正是现代所说的文化传承。
“雅”“俗”这对价值判断，其标准因人而异，因时而异。
在儒学兴盛的汉代，以言行合于五经为雅，以悖于五经为俗。
在老庄玄学流行的魏晋六朝，则以高蹈出尘、任情背礼为雅，以尘务经心、拘挛礼法为俗。
如当时语云“处官不亲所司，谓之雅远”、“以偃蹇倨肆为优雅”，可以看出那种喜尚不理政务、任诞放达的价值取向。
在魏晋六朝，雅是名士风流的同义语，“雅道相传”的谢氏家族便得此种精神风貌。
《晋书·谢安传》说时人比谢安为王导，只是“文雅过之”。
王导、谢安都是东晋名相，是王谢两家在政治上的最有成就的人物，也是两家家风的典型代表。
“文雅过之”不仅是王导、谢安二人之异，也是王谢二家之异。
王导的五世孙、南齐名臣王俭曾说：江左风流宰相，唯谢安一人而已。
他也不能不承认在名士风流方面，其高祖王导终不能不让谢安一头。
在我看来，谢氏文化传统的殊相是名士家风，这种家风的精神底蕴是庄老心态，这种心态的结构是重情轻礼。

万州二中2018-2019学年高一上期中期考试语文试题一.现代文阅读(一)论述类文本阅读(本题3小题，9分)汉字美学骆冬青汉字美学要关注汉字独特的美学创造的智慧，即汉字构造的原则。
汉字的造字原理，以许慎《说文解字》所论影响最为深远。
甲骨文的发现，固然令汉字造字在人们的视野中变得更加复杂，来自远古的蛮荒之气、野性的思维，渗透到原初的汉字形态中，值得我们从美学思维的层面进一步探索；许慎揭示的“六书”说，在思维层面对汉字的造字原理，做出了堪称经典的阐说，或许可以进行进一步的归纳和补正，但其无疑已为探讨汉字美学提供了一种深刻的致思方向。
汉字构造以象形为根基，图象先于声音的原理，就是造字层面上的美学阐论。
汉字美学真正的起点，正在汉字创造的美学原点之中。
这种关于造字的美学探索，也就与汉字从甲骨文、金文、篆书、隶书、草书以及楷书的不同书体的变易有关，更与汉字最终的“方块字”形态相关。
其中奥妙，虽与书写的物质变迁、技术要求等相关，却更应当在一种美学的思维下予以理解。
但最根本的，却在于汉字造字的美学原则的探索。
这些原则的发现，当与汉字创生的原初情境息息相关。
由此原理、原则的探索，自然引入关于汉字美学、汉字文化精神的探讨。
汉字之中的文化积淀，是与汉字的构成相关的。
例如，一个“中”字，一个“道”字，所包含的中国文化内核，需要多少部论著才能阐释清楚？西方文字也有类似情形，汉字之不同则在于字形、字音的分析中已经包含着深刻的文化史的内容，这种对中国文化史内容的积淀，成为汉字美学又一深刻的方面。
若深究“文”①之含义，则“文化”本身即为“审美化”的重要体现。
所以，在汉字中积淀的文化史，包含着许多美学的内容，需要进行深入研究。
每个汉字都是一首诗、一个故事、一段历史，还是一种哲学。
而这些内容，与其他文字不同，是深刻地蕴涵于汉字的训释之中的。
训诂学或传统的小学②之所以重要，显然并非“识字”那么简单。
或者说，广义的“识字”，正包含着深刻的文化内涵，而审美的感悟乃是其中的重要内容。

2019-2020学年重庆市万州中学高三英语上学期期中试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ATheBest Placeto Camp in Each StateWashington-SecondBeach, Olympic National ParkCampers put up their tents right on the sand of thisPacific Northwestbeach. Make a campfire, photograph sunset over the sea and try to absorb this charming spot with your entire being.Alaska-Bartlett Cove Campground, Glacier (冰川) Bay National ParkIn a state full of natural riches,Glacier Bayis a wonder, home to high peaks, whales, 700 miles of coastline, and light blue glaciers that flow directly into the sea. Set within temperate rainforest along Bartlett Cove, the park's only campground is impressively green and an easy jumping-off point for boat tours.Arizona-Havasupai Campground, Havasupai ReservationGetting to Havasupai is a challenge. Permits are snatched (剥夺) up almost instantly, and even if you get one it's a 10-mile hike from the border to reach this rural campground that hugs Havasu Creek. Make the journey, however, and you're rewarded with a series of great waterfalls and natural pools.Arkansas-BuffaloNationalRiverAmerica's first national river travels 135 miles through the Ozark Mountains, winding its way over rapids, forming peaceful pools and passing rocky cliffs topped by green forest. Plan a float trip and absorb the scenery ata leisurely pace, pausing for hikes to visitLostValley's caves or the 200-foot waterfalls.1.Which state may attract people preferring glaciers?A.Alaska.B.Washington.C.Arizona.D.Arkansas.2.What makesArizonaa popular camp choice among tourists?A.The blue glaciers and green rainforests.B.The winding national river and cliffs.C.The soaring peaks and long coastline.D.The beautiful waterfalls and pools.3.What can you do when camping inArkansas?A.Take a long trip on foot.B.Visit caves and waterfalls.C.Put up a well-equipped tent.D.Enjoy a view of sunset.Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learnedwas so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.4. What do we know about fika?A. It is a waste of time.B. It is a way to balance life and work.C. It is all about drinking coffee.D. It is a Swedish social tradition.5. What does the author think of Swedish people?A. They are friendly.B. They seem a bit cold.C. They appear really rude.D. They are interested in other's life.6. Why does the author like walking?A. It is fun and not very tiring.B. It is good exercise on cold days.C It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D. It gives her the chance to eat the local food.7. What's the author's advice for students going abroad?A. Be confident.B. Be careful.C. Be open- minded.D. Be hard- working.When I was a child, I attained high grades in my academic study. However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirely willing to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clear and commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.8. Why did the author start to learn fencing?A. Because she needed to train her coordination.B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.9. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A. By observing flawless attacks.B. By practicing on their own.C. By offering guidance to each other.D. By competing with other teams.10. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A. Strong determination.B. Hard work.C. Athletic strategy.D. Team support.11. How did the author feel when she got her point?A. Unbeatable and respectful.B. Sweaty and ashamed.C. Energetic and secure.D. Proud and thankful.DIt was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.12. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A. It was taken by train to the west.B. It was a suggestion from their friends.C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.13. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A. He could have lost the camera.B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.14. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A. Kind and straightforward.B. Rich and generous.C. Creative and capable.D. Careful and admirable.15. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Seeing is believing.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. The longest journey begins with the first step.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

得益于中国在互联网、大数据、云计算等领域的卓著进步，人工智能在国内发展迅猛。
在可以预见的未来，中国的人工智能产业将在自动驾驶、智慧医疗、智慧金融、机器人等领域获得蓬勃发展。
从娱乐、出行到支付手段，人工智能悄然改变着我们的生活。
今年7月，国务院印发了《新一代人工智能发展规划》，指出人工智能成为国际竞争的新焦点、经济发展的新引擎，带来社会建设的新机遇，同时人工智能未来发展的不确定性也带来了新挑战。
在这些新挑战中，最令普通人关注的，或许就是人工智能时代的“人机关系”：高阶人工智能有没有失控风险？未来的机器会不会挑战人类社会的秩序，甚至获得自主塑造和控制未来的能力？随着人工智能日新月异的发展，很多人有了这样的担心。
人工智能会带来福祉还是挑战，是许多文学、影视、哲学作品不断探讨的主题。
近年来大众传播对人工智能的关注，无形中也加重了人们对“人机关系”的焦虑。
以音源库和全息投影技术为支撑的“二次元”虚拟偶像上台劲歌热舞，人工智能用人脸识别技术与深度学习能力挑战人类记忆高手，“阿尔法狗”击败各国围棋大师，攻占了人类智力游戏的高地……尤其是一些以“人机对战”为噱头的综艺节目，通过混淆人工智能的概念，人为渲染了一种人机之间紧张的对立气氛，既无必要，也缺乏科学性。
事实上，现在所有人工智能仍属于在“图灵测试”概念下界定的“智能”，无论是将要盛行的根据神经网络算法的翻译程序，抑或是基于量子计算理论的各种模型，在未来很长时间内都将是从属于人类的工具。
作家韩少功提出了“当机器人成立作家协会”的有趣假设，从文学的角度解释了自己对于人机对立关系的看法。

2019-2020学年重庆市万州第二中学高三英语期中考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.B. Millennials are financially independent after college.C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?A. It increases the consumption of household products.B. It may continue despite job growth.C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.D. It is new in American culture.3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce millennials' living habits.B. To stress the importance of financial independence.C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.BJapan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with nohealth issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.4. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job.B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.5. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.6. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?A. Smart and brave.B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient.D. Careful and peaceful.7. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D. They should be used together with traditional tests.CThe idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including workstress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.9. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.10. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.11. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.DA new study suggests drinking coffee as soon as someone wakes up from a poor night’s sleep greatly affects metabolism(新陈代谢) and blood sugar control.In the study, published in theBritish Journal of Nutrition, UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments. In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink uponwaking—first from a normal night’s sleep, and then again after a poor night’s sleep during which they were woken up for five minutes every hour. In the third, their sleep was similarly disrupted, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drink, which mirrored the calories of a typical breakfast, in each experiment. Results showed that one night of disrupted sleep did not worsen the participants’ blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies’ ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee across a range of different metabolic markers, scientists at the University of Bath found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This simple study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed moves some coffee drinkers’ heartstrings. As up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go.” said Professor James Betts, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism at the University of Bath.12. How did UK researchers get the result of the experiment?A. By making comparisons.B. By consulting journals.C. By questionnaire.D. By assumption.13. What can we learn from the experiment?A. One night of poor sleep surely affects blood sugar.B. Drinking coffee after breakfast does harm to health.C. Having strong drinks has a good effect on metabolism.D. Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health.14. What does James Betts think of the study?A. It makes no sense.B. It remains to be continued.C. It is limited and blind.D. It is particular and explicit.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Much Coffee to Drink MattersB. Does Coffee Really Wake Up an Appetite?C. How Does Drinking Coffee Affect One’s Sleep?D. Drinking Coffee before Breakfast Harms Metabolism第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年重庆市万州第二中学高三英语期中试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.A. let him spend a meaningful summerB. encourage him to do more walkingC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2. The book caught the author's eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much3. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. Mum's Strict Order.B. My Passion forReading.C. Reunion with My Beagle.D. The Charm of a Book.BI have a memory of being about five years old, picking up a beautiful grilled(烧烤的）cheese sandwich made for me by my hard —working mother and turning it over to see that theother side was burned. Suddenly what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect. Mom had tried to hide that fact from me. There was no question; I ate it anyway without complaining. However, that moment has stuck in my mind for many years. Now, at the age of 43 as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the "academic mother" of hundreds of students every year,I find that I believe inThe Grilled Cheese Principle.Here is what I mean Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy right? But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten, or I have made myself, I realize that most of the grilled cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side. The thing is that although it is a ly easy thing to make, I can also easily lose focus, and before long the sandwich is burned. For my mother, the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to her being distracted. For me,I have tended to burn the first side,but then I more carefully monitor the second side.Either way,the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deservesSo, I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention. When I am multi-tasking, I am doing none of the tasks well. And when I allow myself to be distracted, I am not in the present moment — not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the processSo now, I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention.4. How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?A. She ate it with some complaintsB. She showed no interest.C. She thought it was still perfectD. She was deeply impressed with it5. What doesThe Grilled Cheese Principlemean?A. Even simple things deserve full attentionB. Losing focus makes the sandwich burnedC. Self-made sandwiches are always burnedD. we should make only one sandwich at a time6. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. Everything cannot be done well without full attentionB. Moms always like to lie to kids when they have done something wrongC. We can lose focus more easily when we do easy things.D. Multi-tasking can be an obstacle to the achievement of tasks.7. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Nothing is perfectB. Learn to appreciate the burned sandwichesC. Devote yourself to one thing at a time.D. Never do multi-tasksCTofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was "polluting a national park". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues（途径，手段）with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him."While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself," said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar withcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange "mined" anational parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide attention, this type of "ruining" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.8. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?A. Add them to fuel.B. Feed them to animals.C. Burn or bury them.D. Make them into cakes.9. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?A. It lasted 15 years.B. It was signed by Treuer.C. It was made in about 1998.D. It was broken by Del Oro.10. What was Treuer's finding?A. Orange peels contain much fibre.B. Orange peels can make soil richer.C. Orange peels rot away in a short time.D. Orange waste ruined the national park.11. What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Disapproving.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Admirable.DPeggy Whitson's job demands a daily twohour workout in a gym where weight has no meaning and the view changes at 17,000 miles an hour.Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November, 2016, when she began her third longterm stay at the International Space Station. After returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut feltmatter-of-factabout the age milestone.“It wasn't a record I was seeking for,” Whitson said. “I was 42 and 48 for my first two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s. I don't think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in their 60s before, so it's just a matter of time before women start flying in space at this age”.On the earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water skiing. She shared what it's like to live in microgravity: “It's like you're in a swimming pool, but you don't have to worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I'm going to float to the other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for your brain to grasp, but it's amazing how fast you adapt.It's a big shock for the body to come back to Earth—everything is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again. Back pain was really the most dramatic for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.”12. How long did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space Station?A. About 300 days.B. About 708 days.C. About 107 days.D. About57 days.13. What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage?A. Amazing.B. Not surprising.C. Enthusiastic.D. Unbelievable.14. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Peggy Whitson likes swimming most.B. Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space.C. Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.D. There had been female astronauts over 60s flying in space before.15. Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say?A. You can still be successful and do physical things when old.B. I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.C. The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.D. I feel lucky that I am physically well after the whole journey.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

万州二中2018-2019学年高一上期中期考试语文试题一.现代文阅读(一)论述类文本阅读(本题3小题，9分)汉字美学骆冬青汉字美学要关注汉字独特的美学创造的智慧，即汉字构造的原则。
汉字的造字原理，以许慎《说文解字》所论影响最为深远。
甲骨文的发现，固然令汉字造字在人们的视野中变得更加复杂，来自远古的蛮荒之气、野性的思维，渗透到原初的汉字形态中，值得我们从美学思维的层面进一步探索；许慎揭示的“六书”说，在思维层面对汉字的造字原理，做出了堪称经典的阐说，或许可以进行进一步的归纳和补正，但其无疑已为探讨汉字美学提供了一种深刻的致思方向。
汉字构造以象形为根基，图象先于声音的原理，就是造字层面上的美学阐论。
汉字美学真正的起点，正在汉字创造的美学原点之中。
这种关于造字的美学探索，也就与汉字从甲骨文、金文、篆书、隶书、草书以及楷书的不同书体的变易有关，更与汉字最终的“方块字”形态相关。
其中奥妙，虽与书写的物质变迁、技术要求等相关，却更应当在一种美学的思维下予以理解。
但最根本的，却在于汉字造字的美学原则的探索。
这些原则的发现，当与汉字创生的原初情境息息相关。
由此原理、原则的探索，自然引入关于汉字美学、汉字文化精神的探讨。
汉字之中的文化积淀，是与汉字的构成相关的。
例如，一个“中”字，一个“道”字，所包含的中国文化内核，需要多少部论著才能阐释清楚？西方文字也有类似情形，汉字之不同则在于字形、字音的分析中已经包含着深刻的文化史的内容，这种对中国文化史内容的积淀，成为汉字美学又一深刻的方面。
若深究“文”①之含义，则“文化”本身即为“审美化”的重要体现。
所以，在汉字中积淀的文化史，包含着许多美学的内容，需要进行深入研究。
每个汉字都是一首诗、一个故事、一段历史，还是一种哲学。
而这些内容，与其他文字不同，是深刻地蕴涵于汉字的训释之中的。
训诂学或传统的小学②之所以重要，显然并非“识字”那么简单。
或者说，广义的“识字”，正包含着深刻的文化内涵，而审美的感悟乃是其中的重要内容。

AFamous resorts (度假胜地) on the earthMaldivesMaldives is famed as the last paradise (乐园) on the earth. It's made up of more than 1,800 coral islands, spreading over a sea area of about 90 thousand square kilometers on the Indian Ocean. People in Maldives believe in Islam. They must observe the religious rules strictly. However, tourists don't need to follow these customs inside hotels, but they must do as the locals when they enter the community of the local people.Jeju IslandJeju Island, also known as the “Islands of the Gods”, is the biggest island of South Korea. It is a volcanic island with a pleasant climate. Its yearly average temperature is 16 ℃, which makes it the most attractive vacation stop in Northeast Asia.

Behind the counter(柜台) was a lady like no one I’d ever seen.“Excuse me,” I said. She looked up and said, “I’m Miss Bee.”“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go and get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There’s no one here except you and me and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket from that pile.”I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortcharged me, and other times she overcharged. Going to the store was like going into battle. All summer long she found way s to trick me. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce “bicarbonate of soda” and memorized its location on the shelves than she made me hunt for it all over again. But by summer’s end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you’re a meanie!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed and said, “I know what you thinkof me. Well, I don’t care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get ol der you’ll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd…Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Had I ever been overcharged since?25. What did the author’s grandmother always ask her to do during her summer vacation?A. Make lists for her shopping.B. Buy something in the general store.C.

The author mentioned her daughter to __________.A. show her satisfaction with her kid’s homeworkB. inform readers of her irresponsibility for her kidC. tell readers Miss Bee’s influence on herD. express her disagreement to Miss Bee28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. An unforgettable summer travelB. Being a responsible motherC. Mean lady giving a precious lessonD. Making a meaningful life listCDo you know what Fear and Faith have in common? Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future. Both believe in something that has not yet happened. So I ask you, if neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive future?I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road and the negative road. And our bus can’t be on two roads at the same time. So we have to make a choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring to the present.I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any fear. There are times when fea r is a gift.A healthy dose(剂量) of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future.It moves us to smell the cheese and expect change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. Some fear is good.However, what I have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the hearts and minds of far too many people. This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations to either act unreasonably or to not act at all. They are either hurrying in a million different directions because of fear. In both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.The answer is the positive road paved (铺满) with faith and a belief that your best days are not behind you but ahead of you. With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. You look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that sacrifice(牺牲) your future success. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus on solutions instead of problems.Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. Fear or Faith. The choice is yours.29. According to the passage, we can know that ________.A. both Fear and Faith trust something in the futureB. Fear and Faith have nothing in commonC. neither negative nor positive future will happenD. people usually choose to believe in the positive future30. What does the writer mean by saying “our bus can’t be on two roads”?A. We must choose either a positive or negative roadB. We should choose the positive roadC. We usually choose the negative roadD. Our belief about the future depends on our choice31. If we have faith in future, we will ________.A. have the best days ahead of usB. be committed to saving moneyC. stay away from any challengesD. take powerful actions today32. What does the writer intend to tell us in the passage?A. Fear is closely related to faith.B. We should have faith in a positive future.C. Life is full of fear and faith.D. Wrong decisions sacrifice our future success.DTraditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: Eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quitsmoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol. Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendation s on that list, not just four. They’re discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: Adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.When that news started coming out, doctors began adding sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But as an expert in heart disease, I don’t think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top. I believe that getting enough sleep – at least seven to eight hours per night for most people –is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.Sure, I’d prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I’d pick sleep because when you are well-rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you’re exhausted, everything in life is more difficult.33. What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions?A. They should be reconsidered.B.
