2021-2022学年安徽省桐城市桐城中学高二下学期月考(7)英语试题(Word版)

安徽省桐城市桐城中学2021-2022高二下学期月考（7）英语试卷ADifferent exercises produce different results,as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories：endurance（耐力），strength,flexibility,and balance.Many people often only focus on one exercise type,but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.EnduranceEndurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate.By doing endurance exercises,you are working to keep your heart,lungs,and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.StrengthIf you want to build up your muscles,then strength exercises,which are also known as "resistance training"，are right for you.Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks.Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones. FlexibilityFlexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles.This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion,posture,and ability to breathe deeply,and blood flow.Also,it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.BalanceBalance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults,helping them stay independent.Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground.Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.1.How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine according to paragraph 1？______A. By combining different exercise types together.B. By having sufficient rest between their workouts.C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.2.Which of the following helps build up muscles？______A. Balance training.B. Resistance training.C. Endurance training.D. Flexibility training.3.Which part of the body gets the most exercise in balance-related exercises？______A. Legs.B. The neck.C. The waist.D. Arms.BIf you dream of a world where neighbors share with each other and you don't have to spend money at a store every time you need something,then your local Buy Nothing Group might be the perfect fit.The clever idea began in July 2013，when two friends,Rebecca Rockefeller and Liesl Clark,from Bainbridge Island,Washington,wanted to develop a hyper-local gift economy.So far the Buy Nothing Project already has 6，000 groups in 44 countries.The basic idea is that anyone can ask for what they need and anyone can give it.The official rules are simple："Post anything you'd like to give away,lend,or share among neighbors.Ask for anything you'd like to receive for free or borrow.Keep it legal.No hate speech.No buying or selling,no trades or bartering（物物交换），we're strictly a gift economy."There are no strings attached,all participants have equal standing,and gifts and requests can be large or small,items or services.Lending and borrowing is allowed,too.There are no rules about how to post,though people are encouraged to share personal stories about themselves,their gifts and requests,as this helps to build harmonious communities.In the opinion of Clark and Rockefeller,asking for something isn't seen as a begging and giving isn't an act of charity；this is about accessing pre-existing abundance within the community and redistributing（再分配）it in ways that benefit everyone. "We've seen the gift of an old wedding ring to a young woman who simply wanted to feel loved.We've seen the gift of someone's company for an elderly person who lives alone," shared the two women. "So many gifts have been unique and inspirational."The local Buy Nothing Groups have operated on Facebook up until now,but that's about to change.A new Buy Nothing App will launch its beta version（测试版）soon to select communitiesin the US，Canada,and Australia,and eventually to all participants worldwide.The hope is to give access to users who aren't on Facebook and to give Buy Nothing communities their own official home.4.What can we learn about the Buy Nothing Project？______A. It has made a great profit.B. It has been growing rapidly.C. It made strict accessing standards.D. It was once rejected bycommunities.5.What is forbidden according to the rules of the organization？______A. Giving away too small items.B. Sharing something too expensive.C. Expressing your feelings on what you share.D. Giving with the expectation of a gift in return.6.Which is one purpose of the Buy Nothing Project？______A. To make people work easily.B. To develop the local economy.C. To encourage a selfless lifestyle.D. To build harmonious communities.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______A. The Project will give people easier access.B. The Project isn't popular in developed countries.C. The government hasn't officially approved the Project.D. Small communities are the main targets of the Project.CPlants have a metabolic（新陈代谢的）signal that adjusts their biological clock in the evening to ensure they store enough energy to survive the night,a new study reveals.The research---involving scientists from the University of York---suggests this signal might provide important information to the plant about the amount of sugar available at dusk and therefore how to adjust metabolism to last the night.Plants make use of sunlight to make their own sugars from photosynthesis（光合作用）during the day and store them to provide energy during the night.The ability to predict sunrise and estimate the length of the night,and adjust metabolism accordingly,is vital for plant survival and to maximizegrowth.This depends on a biological clock to drive rhythms of about 24 hours.Dr Mike Haydon,formerly from the Department of Biology,University of York and now based at the University of Melbourne said："We think this metabolic signal is acting rather like setting an alarm clock before bedtime to ensure the plant's survival.Plants must coordinate photosynthetic metabolism with the daily environment and adapt rhythmic physiology and development to match carbon availability."The researchers discovered a set of genes known to be controlled by the chemicalcompound---superoxide（超氧化物）.Most of these genes are active in the evening,including key genes that act in the biological clock.They found by controlling the production of superoxide,they also controlled the effect of sugar on these biological clock genes in the evening.Superoxide as a rhythmic sugar-related signal acts in the evening and affects biological gene expression and growth.8.Why do plants adjust their biological clock in the evening？______A. To survive the night.B. To have a good rest at night.C. To keep the same rhythm at night.D. To absorb more nutrition from the soil at night.9.When do plants have the highest amount of sugar according to the text？______A. In the morning.B. In the afternoon.C. At dusk.D. Atdawn.10.How do plants predict sunrise and estimate the length of the night？______A. By metabolizing.B. By photosynthesizing.C. By absorbing sunlight.D. By setting the biological clock.11.What functions as the controller to drive plants' rhythm？______A. Metabolism.B. Sugar.C. Superoxide.D. Photosynthesis.DWhen we think about the big carbon problems we have to deal with,paper isn't the first thing that comes to mind.However,an article in Energy Monitor, "The Paper Industry's Burning Secret"，describes how the paper industry is Europe's fourth-largest industrial energy user.It also has a hugeglobal impact：Authors Adrian Hiel and Dave Keating,both North American journalists working in Brussels,write that greenhouse gas emissions（排放）from paper production make up 0.6%of the world's total.The problem is that to make paper,you need pulp（纸浆），made from either wood or recycled material,and it then takes a lot of energy to dry it out and turn it into paper.NGO Environmental Paper Network's Luisa Colasimone told Energy Monitor that making a ton of paper and a ton of steel use the same amount of energy.Additionally,recycling of paper isn't as wonderful as it has been said to be,and it is not a free pass,as many people think.Colasimone told Hiel and Keating："The vast majority of paper products are short-lived.They're thrown away and their carbon ends up in the atmosphere within two to three years."According to a recent study from the University College London （UCL），if all wastepaper was recycled,emissions could increase by 10%，as recycling paper tends to rely more on fossil fuels than making new paper.This shows that recycling is not a guaranteed way to address climate change. The UCL release states："The researchers reported that paper accounted for 1.3% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2012.About a third of these emissions came from dealing with paper in landfills.Researchers said that in coming years,the use of paper would likely rise,with the move away from plastics leading to increased demand for paper packaging."The UCL study concludes,recycling is no panacea（灵丹妙药），and as Hiel and Keating note,the carbon footprint of making paper is a very big indeed.12.Why does the paper industry have a huge global environmental impact？______A. It needs plenty of water.B. It creates a lot of various gases.C. It has much energy consumed.D. It wastes a great deal of wood.13.What does the underlined word "deal" in the last paragraph probably mean？______A. Bargain.B. Problem.C. Amount.D. Agreement.14.What's the most researchers' attitude to recycling paper？______A. Supportive.B. Pessimistic.C. Unclear.D. Uncaring.15.What might be the best title for the text？______A. The challenges of paper production.B. The urgent carbon problems to be solved.C. The environmental effects of recycled paper.D. The environmental impact of paper production.Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful Are you a happy person？How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general？Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.(1) Different people may interpret "success" in different ways：some of them measure it in money,other ones in positive changes to people around them and the world in general.

Daddy explained that he had tried everything to get home forChristmas ， but without success ． At the last minute ， several workers had decided to drive ． But the nearest guy lived miles away ． So daddy started walking on Christmas Eve until he arrived home ． He had walked all night to get home to his family ．Though the presents that year were wonderful ， the best gift was not found under the tree ． Daddy's special surprise made this my most memorable Christmas ．4.

Parents' Wonderful Gifts on Christmas MorningMany of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance．These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection．Of the common berries，strawberries are highest in vitamin C，although，because of their seeds，raspberries contain a little more protein （蛋白质），iron and zinc （not that fruits have much protein）．Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants （抗氧化物质）．The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants．As for cherries （樱桃），they are so delicious who cares？However，they are rich in vitamin C．When combined with berries of slices of other fruits，frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick，cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream"．For this purpose，select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter．Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze．If you like，a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown．Frozen bananas will last several weeks，depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer．If you have a juicer，you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit．Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert，to be eaten right away．This makes a fun activity for a children's party；they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below．8. What does the author seem to like about cherries？A. They contain protein．B. They are high in vitamin A．C. They have a pleasant taste．D. They are rich in antioxidants．9. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas？A. To make them smell better．B. To keep their colour．C. To speed up their ripening．D. To improve their nutrition．10.

A traveltextbook．magazine．paper．brochure．Watching Nick Veasey's "Exposing the Invisible"，I am captured by the intersection（交集）between technology and art，something Veasey does quite well．Veasey has taken a high-tech field，in which he is an expert，radiography （X 光照相），and turned it into an art form in its own right．What makes it so impressive is that through the use of what was designed as a "functional technology"，he changes the way that we see the world．He also redefines how a technology，invented for one purpose，can in fact be the parent of another end．Radiology （放射医学）is a complex technology，requiring expensive equipment．19th-century photography required a complex set-up，dangerous chemicals and a deep understanding of the science behind it．In addition，19th-century photography was seen far more as a "functional technology" than as an art form in its own right．The main purpose was to record "important events" or "important people"．This is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience．Take a look at old photographs of your grandparents or great grandparents．See how they sit rigid and formal before the camera．Having your picture taken was in many ways similar to having your leg X-rayed．This was what the complex and expensive technology created - a very formal and nervous occasion．All of this changed for photography in the 1930s when the Leica company replaced large and heavy "view cameras" with small，hand-held cameras．At the same time，the Agfa company released an entirely new kind of film - 35mm plastic rolls with multiple exposures．The days of sitting stiffly and formally before a heavy camera with a single piece of sheet film in it were over．This made photography vastly simpler，but it had a much deeper impact．Now，for the first time，photographers were freed from the expensive equipment，the lights and the studios．They were able to move freely with their cameras and take multiple exposures．They could visit exotic （异国的）places．The entire process，together with the mechanics of photography，was changed．And so was the product．Photographs became more immediate and far more powerful．In effect，photography，which had been a "functional technology" with very specific ends，became an art form in its own right．This did not happen quickly．An exhibit entitled "The Family of Man"，created by Alfred Stieglitz，opened in the Museum of Modern Art in 1955．Stieglitz has long been credited as the man responsible for having photography seen as an art form，and his artistic work certainly helped the invention of Leicas，but it was with the arrival of that far simpler and cheaper technology that photography，as an art form，came into its own．12. Why does Nick Veasey impress the author so deeply？______A. He is a successful doctor．B. He is an expert in radiography．C. He is a pioneer in the field of high technology．D. His works make people see the world differently．13. The third paragraph mainly talks about ______ ．A. why radiology appeared in the 19th centuryB. the basic information on 19-century photographyC. how Veasey began his career in radiographyD. people's attitudes towards photography in the 19th century14. The underlined sentence "it had a much deeper impact" in Paragraph 4 implies that ______ ．A. photography would experience a revolutionB. The 35mm film would be used in more fieldsC. photographers would earn more by taking photosD. the Leica company would cooperate with the Agfa company15. What would be the best title for the passage？______A. Tips on taking a beautiful pictureB. The development of the Leica companyC. The transformation of technology into artD. Alfred Sstieglitz - the founder of modern photography二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)What to Do When Someone Doesn't Like You When someone tells me，"I don't care if people like me，" they are showing me the emotional wall they use to block the hurt of rejection．As humans are social animals，all of us care if people like us．Based on the need for social connection，your reactions to rejection and negative judgment can range from minor hurt to breakouts of depression． 16The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction．Ask yourself，"What am I feeling？" 17 Any betrayal or embarrassments in your heart？Identify what feeling has shown up in your body so you can choose what to do next．18 When you sense yourself shutting down or feeling defensive，ask yourselfwhat the person actually meant to do to you．Did they truly mean to offend you，or make fun of you？Your brain works very hard to keep you safe，so it will judge a situation as threatening if there is any possibility of social harm．When our brains sense a possible threat，we react as if we were personally attacked．Take a breath to relieve the stress． 19Finally，if you believe the person doesn't like you，ask yourself if this matters． 20 If not，what can you do to release your need to be liked by this person？And，what can you do to stay neutral and not return the dislike？The more you can come to accept others as who they are，the more you can move forward with your goals regardless if someone likes you or not．A．If you can，look the person in their eyes．B．Do you feel any fear or anger in your head？C．Ask yourself what is true about the situation．D．Often people do not realize the impact of their words．E．Will the person's judgment of you impact your work or life？F．The ability to let a show of dislike roll off your back is a learned skill．G．This will ground you in the present and take you out of your trembling mind．16.

2023-2024学年安徽省安庆市桐城中学高二下学期开学教学质量检测英语试题

2023-2024学年安徽省安庆市桐城中学高二下学期开学教学质量检测英语试题LocationSt Helena is one of the remotest islands on Earth. The subtropical (亚热带的) British Overseas Territory sits in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, 1,200 miles from the west coast of Africa and 1,800 miles from the east coast of South America.Size PopulationSt Helena is only 16 km long and 9 km wide and the population is 5,000. This is 1/3 the size of the Isle of Wight, and the same size as Disney World Orlando. This is also the same size as San Francisco-yet the island has just 0.5% of San Francisco’s population. With an extremely low-crime community, you can freely explore the island’s natural and built attractions in peace.ClimateAs a subtropical island, St Helena’s temperature is 15-28℃ all year round. While the four seasons are not recognized on St Helena, the “cooler months” are generally June to September and the “hotter months” are December to March. St Helena is free from ex treme weather events, with even thunderstorms only occurring perhaps once a decade.AccessibilityUntil 2017, St Helena did not have an airport and was only accessible by sea. Reaching the island meant a five-day ship voyage from Cape Town, South Africa. However, since October 2017, the island’s first and only airport has enabled passengers to reach the island in just a six-hour flight.1. In what aspect are St Helena and San Francisco alike?A．Climate. B．Population. C．Crime rate. D．Area.2. What can best describe the climate of St Helena?A．Tropical. B．Mild. C．Dry. D．Extreme.3. How could visitors gain entry into St Helena before 2017?A．By plane. B．By car. C．By ship. D．By train.For a long time, I kept a selection of books on a shelf next to my bed tha t I called my “heart books”. To qualify for a place on the shelf, a book had to be not only one I loved, but one that mattered. There was one book that never made it onto that shelf, though I read it in high school: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books on writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it. Then I took it with me to a park, read the first few chapters, and opened my notebook to write.It’s a fairly straightforward writing book. Goldberg’s method is simple: you choose a topic, set a timer, and write for 10, 15, or 20 minutes without picking up your pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing topics: anyone who has taken a creative writing class may have encountered these things. It’s not earth-shattering. There was nothing particularly new or unusual about the book so I can’t say why it attracted me so much. But it changed everything. I went from being someone who enjoyed writing to being a writer.During my teen years and early twenties, following Goldberg’s method was at the core of my identity. No matter where I was or what I was doing, I filled notebooks. When I eventually started writing fiction, I did the same thing. The “I” in my notebooks became someone else, but I held to the same practice.This writing practice led me to a writing group in Boston. It led me to my current career. It led me, in so many ways, to myself. Becoming a writer allowed me to become so many other things: an activist, a business owner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I found my confidence. It was where I became curious about the world. From that, everything else has followed.4. How did the author encounter Writing Down the Bones?A．By following a selection of “heart books”.B．By referring to a book list about writing.C．By recommendation of Natalie Goldberg.D．By seeking writing books on a bookshelf.5. What does the word “earth-shattering” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?A．Trivial. B．Remarkable. C．Appropriate. D．Amusing.6. What can we infer about Writing Down the Bones?A．It inspired the author to be a writer.B．It was the first novel the author read.C．It made the author start to love writing.D．It is one of the books the author reads most.7. Which of the following is answered by the last paragraph?A．What is the author’s life like right now?B．What did the author do in the writing group?C．How has the writing practice shaped the author?D．Why did the author give up the writing practice?Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts.A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australia suggests that it’s not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, a s moving from one location to a significantly different one—it’s the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might cause us to forget something that we need to buy.”Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode.The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!8. Which of the following would most probably be “doorway effect”?A．You missed a call and forgot to ring back.B．You read a book and forget what it is about.C．You entered the office and forgot what to get.D．You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now.9. What can we learn from the passage?A．All memories are linked in the brain.B．Memories are clearly separated in the brain.C．Not all the memories can be found in the brain.D．Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain.10. What can we infer from Baumann’s research?A．Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.B．Walking through open doors results in memory loss.C．A sudden change of the scene boosts intelligence development.D．An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect.11. What does the author think of “doorway effect”?A．Insignificant. B．Beneficial.C．Influential. D．Damaging.As people become more aware of the importance of eco-friendly power sources, we have devoted much time to inventing creative devices. A newly developed paper battery promises to make a big difference to single-use electronics.The battery is crafted from sustainable materials, which not only strengthens its eco-friendliness but also makes it cost-effective to produce. This combination of biodegradability (可生物降解) and affordability makes it attractive for a wide range of applications. Another standout feature of this paper battery is its flexibility in terms of shape and size. Unlike traditional batteries that are available in fixed sizes, this paper battery can be tailored to meet diverse requirements.In reality, the paper battery is enough to power an LCD alarm clock. “While it won’t be charging up your computer anytime soon, there’s lots of potential for low-powered sensors. We present a printed paper battery developed to power single-use disposable electronics and to reduce their environmental impact to the lowest level,” write the researchers in their published paper.The battery is based on a metal-air electrochemical cell. Made from sodium chloride salt-diffused (氯化钠盐扩散的) paper, it can measure as little as one square centimeter, and is based on printed inks. All that’s n eeded, then, is a small amount of water, as little as two drops. This dissolves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. The battery starts producing power around 20 seconds after water is added, according to the experiments carried out by the team.Although the performance decreases over time as the paper dries out, it can be topped up to some extent with more water. The researchers say they want to improve the efficiency of the battery in the future, and get it working fo r longer. “With a rising awareness of the e-waste problem and the emergence of single-use electronics for applications, there is a growing need for low environmental impact batteries,” write the researchers.12. Which is a feature of the paper battery?A．It is made from single-use materials. B．It is costly to put together.D．It can be produced in diverse shapes.C．It can be used to charge up yourcomputer.13. What can we learn about the paper battery according to the text?A．It can be applied to any electronics.B．It is able to supply energy to our cell-phones.C．Its power can be refilled by adding some water.D．It has reduced the environmental impact to the lowest.14. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?A．What the paper battery consists of. B．How the paper battery works.C．Where the paper battery can be applied. D．Why the paper battery is popular.15. What is most likely to be the focus of future research according to the researchers?A．How to get rid of impacts of single-use electronics.B．How to improve the efficiency of the paper battery.C．How to reduce the demand for single-use electronics.D．How to raise people’s awareness of e-waste problems.For many young adults, what to do after finishing high school is a question that is not easy to answer. For some their path is clear, but for others a number of possibilities lie before them. 16 You are not too sure about the direction you want to take and would like to explore your options. Or maybe you have a desire to travel and experience other countries before settling down to further studies. 17 What to do during your gap year can be tailored to suit your needs, interests and budget. Let’s look at a few ideas that can just help you!18 You can become a babysitter in your community or work on an oil field in another country. This can really help you to gain insight into yourself when you decide what you are passionate about. 19 Choosing a sporting adventure in another country, either playing or coaching will be an amazing experience. In addition, giving back to the community by volunteering in a local charity is also how you would like to spend your time.From these experiences, you will learn much more than just how to do a job. Aside from your photographs, your most treasured possession will be that new experiences challenge you and allow you to grow. So whether you are going abroad or going to your local community center, one thing is for certain — a gap year is definitely not just filling a gap. 20It never occurred to me to think about my future job till I entered high school.

If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to do water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1、The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A.you might feel wellB.it can make you healthyC.you might easily do lots of thingsD.it can save your life2、The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A.collect somethingB.do some water sportsC.send letters to your friendsD.play basketball with your friends3、There are lots of advantages of being a good team player other than _________ .A.work well with other peopleB.keep you fit and healthyC.have a good social lifeD.improve your English4、The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A.good habits to keepB.skills to haveC.things to doD.sports to playChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I travelled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare（罕见）.Yet, since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found there are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—sliver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars can't provide.Eager to be a part of this Chinese culture, I bought a bicycle. Since the weather wasgreat that day, I couldn't wait to jump up on my bicycle and started for home.My first ride home was orderly（守秩序的）.To be safe, I stayed with a pack of bikers while cars on the streets appeared suddenly now and then. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was like crossing highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.5、According to the writer, why are bicycles still popular in China today？A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are fast and don't pollute the air.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.6、The writer decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______ .A. to ride it for funB. to experience local cultureC. to use it for transportD. to improve his riding skill7、How did the writer feel about his street crossing？A. It was boring.B. It was lively.C. It was difficult.D. It was wonderful.8、Which of the following best describes（描写）the writer's biking experience？______A. The writer enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The writer took great pleasure in biking.C. The writer was praised by other bikers.D. The writer was annoyed by the air while riding.Each morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a bench in the park. The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day, the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, "Excuse me. I want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning." " Sir, " said the poor man, " I am a failure. I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel." The rich man said, "Tonight your dream will come true. I'll pay for the best room in that hotel for you a whole month."A few days after, the rich man went into the poor man's room to ask him how he was enjoying himself. To his surprise, he found that the man had moved out of the hotel back to his bench. When the rich man asked why, he said, "You see, when I'm sleeping on my bench, I dreamed I am there, in the big hotel. It's a wonderful dream. But when I was there I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream, and I couldn't get any sleep at all."9、The poor man lived in ______ before he met the rich man.A. the hotelB. his homeC. the parkD. the car10、Every morning,the poor man sat on the bench and ______ .A. waited for the rich manB. looked at the rich man's hotelC. looked at the rich man's carD. enjoyed the clean car11、Every night the poor man dreamed of ______ .A. sleeping in a hotelB. becoming richC. owning that hotelD. being the rich man's friend12、The poor man moved out of the hotel because ______ .A. he didn't want to live in such a fine roomB. he didn't like the rich manC. he couldn't pay for the roomD. he couldn't get any sleep at allLike all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem：lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes （废气）.So the city began a project to improve the situation.Under the Velib project （'Velib' comes from velo liberty, 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 （25 kg）, and they are all gray 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 project 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 project 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."13、What can we learn about the Velib project？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.14、If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay ______ .A. FreeB. ?1C. ?29D. ?3015、Why do some people disagree with the Velib project？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.二、七选五16、Books have a beginning, a middle and an end. ①_______ To properly read a book, you should pay attention to its importance. For non-fiction (纪实文学) books, it is important to read text in its entirety but think about only the major points the author is trying to express.Choose a well-lit and quiet place to read your book. ②_____ You are more likely to concentrate on the words on the page if you are not affected by noises or other things.Decide how much time you want to devote to the reading. You may want to adjust this time allotment (分配) according to how long and difficult the reading material is.③_______④_______ If you own your book, use note-taking symbols in the paragraphs. For example, if you find something that is important, put a star or a few words next to it. If you are unsure of something and it needs more research, put a question mark next to it.Write answers to questions at the end of your reading and give definitions (定义) of important terms. For every 100 pages of text you should have at least three to five pages of written notes. ⑤_______ If you are using a computer to take notes, don’t copy and paste text from your reading.A. Write in your book.B. Make a detailed plan.C. Use your own words to answer your questions.D. As such they should be read from start to finish.E. Turn off your cell phone and television so that your attention won’t be disturbed.F. Therefore, stop every now and then to think about the structure and main content.G. For example, spend 4 hours on detailed reading of a 250-page book and 1 hour on note-taking.三、完形填空（20空）My job is to provide at-home services for the elderly and those who are disabled. My client （客户）was an 86-year-old woman who had been 1 cancer for the past four years. The last few months of her life took all her 2 but none of her joy in life.Each day I appeared at her 3 , she would ask, "Have you heard any good 4 lately？" I'm not good at remembering jokes and 5 had a funny story to tell her, besides it always seemed that the only joke that would come to my mind sound 6 to her. Then, I got the bright idea to copy Grace's Kid Stories that I 7 on my bookshelf at home. Every day I would have one more 8 thing to tell my wonderful friend.

Taking more than one day tocomplete.BNorth Americans value independence,and Europeans value togetherness.I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago,when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France.On my first day,Pierre,a Ph.D.student,tapped me on my shoulder and asked："Coffee？" I nodded and followed him to the common room,where other grad students were filing in.I sat there,cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes,while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here.The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics.But mostly,the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down,to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you're going through. The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada,where I spent most of my workdays in isolation.I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day.At lunch,Pd keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth,trying to power through my to-do list For 9 months,I struggled to figure out why I couldn't exactly copy the results of another study.I didn't want to trouble my advisor too much.I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.How much we were missing!Researchers need community because good ideas don't just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts.It's helpful to bounce ideas off others,and,to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems？Probably not.But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma.My time in France has taught me that it's important to create space for organic conversations about lab life.A scientist's life can feel isolating,but it's not necessarily so when you're connected to a supportive community.4.How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France？______A. A little nervous.B. Very happy.C. Somewhat excited.D. Quitecurious.5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？______A. Cultural ceremonies in France.B. Various topics of the chatter.C. The benefits of coffee breaks.D. Lab culture in French style.6.What was the author's life like back in Canada？______A. Comfortable and fulfilled.B. Busy and lonely.C. Tense but satisfactory.D. Boring but healthy.7.Why does the author write this passage？______A. To introduce the coffee break in Europe.B. To explain the difference between cultures.C. To recall his personal experience in France.D. To convey the importance of a supportive circle.CCheating is considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities.Colleges and universities across the US have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating.We frequently hear about "the good old days"，when Americans were better,happier,and more honest.But were they more honest？Maybe yes,a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he'd overcharged a customer.It's the kind of story we think of as myth.But in the case ofLincoln,the story is true- unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree.Washington's first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, "I cannot tell a lie.I did it with my ax." What is important in both stories,however,is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.And these are just two stories out of many.Students in the last century usually didn't read "fan" stories.They read stories that taught moral values.Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied,cheated,or stole came to bad ends.Parents may have further emphasized those values.It's difficult to know.We do know that children didn't hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes- there weren't any.The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character.For that reason,there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society.Although signs of dishonesty in school,business,and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past,could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty？There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow （起伏）.When times are hard,incidents of theft and cheating usually go up.And when times get better such incidents tend to go down. Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow.But it doesn't seem linked to the economy.Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities,they are less likely to cheat.Surprisingly, - a person may feel "they don't trust me anyway," and be tempted to "beat the system." Distrust can be contagious （传染的）.But,so can trust!8.Why does the author mention the two stories of Lincoln and Washington？______A. To show Lincoln is more admired than Washington.B. To introduce the topic to be discussed.C. To compare them with the presidents today.D. To prove honesty used to be very important in American character.9.What lesson do all the stories try to convey？______A. Those who do something evil will have to answer for it.B. Those who steal will be put to prison.C. Those who cheat will be sentenced.D. Those who don't behave themselves will die young.10.What may be a main reason for dishonesty in society？______A. Family life.B. Fun stories.C. Economic condition.D. School education.11.The underlined sentence ' ' means ______ .A. Distrust will result in dishonesty sometimes.B. The measures to stop cheating in schools are badly taken.C. Dishonesty is a long-time discouragement.D. There will never be an effective way to stop cheating.DA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it.Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see.Some last a few minutes before they give in.But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school,something amazing has happened.A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular,adventurous,confident and dependable.The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely,easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible.Actually,the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns.But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant （有抵抗力的）person.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman,writer of Emotional Intelligence：when it comes to predicting people's success,brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together,how one's ability handles stress,for instance,affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use.Among the ingredients for success,researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%，the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously,some few fear EQ invites misuse.12.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text？______A. Make the readers amused.B. Prove the scientist's wisdom.C. Introduce the topic of the text.D. Show us how to do an IQ test.13.The experiment with the four-year-olds shows us that ______ .A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successC. emotional intelligence won't show up until teen years.D. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence14.The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______ .A. positiveB. negativeC. impatientD. friendly15.From the passage we learn that ______ .A. EQ does not have any connection with IQB. The higher a person's IQ is,the higher his or her EQ isC. Brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about mostD. Scientists haven't discovered the way EQ and IQ work together"I'm sorry" are two very important words playing a big part in daily life.You might apologize while pushing your way through a crowd or using the last of the printer paper at work.It's easy to say "I'm sorry"，but true apologies are a different story.You may have trouble finding the right way to send meaningful apologies.Or you may wonder how to properly demand an apology if the other person is at fault？(1) Apologize sincerely. (2) It can even repair your reputation that you can be trusted.But your relationship will remain tense if your apology seems casual.So you have to be truly willing to apologize.Apply specific principles.A meaningful apology comes down to the three R's -- regret,responsibility and remedy （补救办法）.Firstly,communicate your regret.Show the other person you have recognized your error and can sense his or her pain.Then take complete responsibility.Don't make excuses or blame the victim. (3) Offer to make up for the harm you caused or promise you wouldn't repeat it again.Don't expect immediate forgiveness.Most people hope for immediate forgiveness while apologizing,but that may mean you don't respect the others' emotions and all you care about is yourself.So give them some time to come out of the pain after your apology. (4)(5) If you're the offended one,describe what's changed in the relationship and your true feeling.For example,you could say,"Although there's a disagreement between you and me,I want us to be friends again.But I've been hurt,and I'd like an apology.I need you to acknowledge what you've done."A.Ask for an apology if necessary.B.Don't claim an apology if you're offended.C.However,they would refuse to apologize to you.D.A genuine apology can help repair your relationship.E.With the following tips,you'll find these are not hard.stly,show that you're working to improve the situation.G.After all,they were hurt and it would take them a while to recover.16.

桐城市桐城中学2021-2022学年高二下学期月考（8）英语试卷AThe Most Breathtaking Theaters in the World Shakespeare's Globe Theater（London ，UK）The original Globe Theater was built by Shakespeare's company in 1599，but was destroyed by fire in 1613.A replica was built in 1997 just meters from the original site.The new 857-seat structure has several modern features.It has the first and only straw roof permitted in London since the great fire of 1666.Shakespeare's Globe,21 New Globe Walk,Bankside,London；+44 20 7902 1400Margravial Opera House（Bayreuth,Germany ）Built in 1745，the UNESCO-isted Margravial Opera House is regarded as the finest baroque theater in Europe.The stage has a depth of 27 meters and was the largest in Europe until 1871.Much of the original materials remain,along with original structures,such as the twin staircases.Margravial Opera House ，14.Bayreuth,Germany；+49 9 21 7 59 69 22Teatro Amazonas（Manaus ，Brazil）There can't be many theaters located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest,and the Teatro Amazonas is certainly the most breathtaking.The theater was built in 1895 and was designed by Italian architect Celestial Sacardim.Work took 15 years,largely thanks to the decision to source supplies from all over the world.Amazon Theater,Centro,Manaus,Brazil；+5592 3622 1880National Centre for the Performing Arts（Beijing,China）The National Centre for the Performing Arts（NCPA），built in 2007，is an arts centre in Beijing.Designed by French architect Paul Andreu,the NCPA is the largest theatre complex（建筑群）in Asia.The NCPA includes value in both ancient traditional Chinese architecture and modern architecture.It was specially designed to improve the red walls of ancient buildings and the Great Hall of the People in order to fit in with the surroundings.NCPA，No.2 West Chang an Avenue,Xicheng District ，Beijing；+ 86010 6655 09891.Where does the theatre with its longest survival time lie？______A. In London.B. In Bayreuth.C. In Manaus.D. InBeijing.2.Which of the following was designed by an Italian architect？______A. Shakespeare's Globe.B. Margravial Opera House.C. Teatro Amazonas.D. National Centre for the Performing Arts.3.How is National Centre for the Performing Arts special？______A. It features modern architecture.B. It receives worldwide supplies.C. It is a multifunctional theatre.D. It matches its surroundings.BWhen a typical kid hums （哼唱）a tune,it's usually something like" Twinkle ，Twinkle ，Little Star ，"not Finnish composer Jean Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D Minor.So when Nygel Witherspoon began to hum the very difficult concerto （协奏曲），his family guessed that he should have music lessons.He was ，however,just 3 years old."He was calm,with an ability to focus," recalled David Holmes,Witherspoon's cello （大提琴）teacher from age 3 to 16.Witherspoon is a familiar name in his hometown.He has inherited his talent from both sides of his family,including his aunt,the late jazz vocalist Shirley Witherspoon.The 17-year-old doesn't see himself as competitive."I think it's more important for students to have a supportive environment than a competitive one," he said. "It's great to have a support system,where you can be yourself and improve right along with others doing the same thing. Witherspoon's love of music blossomed as he attended viola （中提琴）lessons with older siblings （兄弟姐妹）.Their teacher,David France,noticed that the little boy was a sponge （海绵）. "He'd absorb everything they did, "France said.Witherspoon was given a box violin,but he wanted to play the big one- -the cello.He loved its size and tone.That's when he was matched with his teacher Holmes.Witherspoon's drive is inspired by the connection music provides.He recalled that he and hissiblings performed as a chamber trio （室内乐三重奏）at their grandmother's nursing home.The positive reaction from residents gave him motivation."It's so important,whether it's hip-hop or classical," he said. "Music is the universal language.It connects all of us. "His mother runs an in-home daycare where lucky children can hear Witherspoon s concertos as background music.Witherspoon finds the noisy environment helpful in terms of learning to focus and play with distractions.As he practices in the kitchen,sometimes children toddle （蹒跚学步）up to listen. Despite years of performing,Witherspoon said he still gets nervous sometimes. "But once I'm on stage,I connect with my instrument and try to tell a story with my music.4.How was Witherspoon different from other kids when he was 3？______A. He began to teach himself music.B. He was able to hum very difficult tunes.C. He had already made up his mind to learn violin.D. He could already play the songs to which he'd listened.5.What does Witherspoon think is important for music learners？______A. Practicing hard.B. Being very competitive.C. Being in a supportive environment.D. Having a good teacher from an early age.6.What is France's impression of Witherspoon？______A. He is a fast learner.B. He is a creative player.C. He works very hard.D. He is open- minded.7.What is the main purpose of Paragraphs 8 and 9？______A. To stress how music connects people.B. To compare Witherspoon's performance with his siblings'.C. To show that motivation plays a big role in music studies.D. To show how studying music helped Witherspoon overcome difficulties.CBy 2050，the United Nations says,we're going to need 70 percent more food to feed the nine billion people living on Earth.Sara Menker says the problem may be even more urgent than theU.N.suggests.In 2017，she gave a TED talk in which she said a "tippingpoint,"beyond which global food markets become too overloaded to function effectively,could come in just a few years. "We discovered tliat the world will be short 214x1012 calories by 2027，she said.Or,in more familiar terms："A single Big Mac has 563 calories.That means the world will be short 380 billion Big Macs in 2027.That is more Big Macs than McDonald's has ever produced."Menker cannot change the world alone.But the firm she started,Gro Intelligence,is providing information that food companies,insurers,lenders and policymakers use to make food production more effective,and perhaps help protect against that tipping point.Gro tracks 650xl012 data points daily-from sources such as government and local foodreports,satellite photos,long-term weather forecasts and greenhouse gas measurements-and creates computer models so that food companies,such as Unilever and Yum!Brands,can know how prices are likely to trend,calculate surpluses （过乘!））and shortages,and be more flexible when climate change makes food supplies harder to predict.A type of artificial intelligence known as machine learning is key to dealing with the data because,as Allison Tepley of Gro's staff put it, "The best information is often local information,but it's often in local languages,in different forms and it all needs to be puttogether.55Gro has sounded warnings on African swine fever in China （which cut pork production 30 percent in 2018），in East Africa in 2020 and global inflation （通货膨胀）in food prices.8.What is the problem mentioned by Menker？______A. Food shortage.B. Overloaded markets.C. Overpopulation.D. Wrong prediction by the U.N.9.What does Menker mean by her words in paragraph 2？______A. The problem is serious.B. Her discovery is more accurate.C. Big Macs contain too many calories.D. McDonald's should increase productivity.10.What does Gro do to help food companies？______A. Get resources.B.

A language-based approach.C. A food-related disaster.D. A production-centered policy.DEuropean researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust.The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future.Researchers from the European Space Agency,or ESA，carried out the experiments at a laboratory in the Netherlands.The team says ESA's experimental "plant" was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated moon dust.The dust is part of a material known as regolith,a top layer of dirt and rock pieces that sit on the surface of the moon.Samples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight.However,the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass,so it is not easily available for use.Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing.The oxygen extraction process is carried out using a method called molten salt electrolysis （熔盐电解）.This includes first placing the regolith in a metal container.Calcium chloride salt is added to the mixture,which is then heated to 950 degrees Celsius.At this temperature,the regolith remains solid.Next,an electrical current is passed through the material.The researchers say it is this step that results in oxygen being extracted from the regolith.The study reported that up to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted during the experiments.ESA's long-term goal is to design an oxygen-producing "pilot plant" to operate full-time on the moon.The first technology demonstration of the system is expected to take place in the middle 2020s.Beth Lomax,a lead researcher on the project,said, "Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future lunar settlers,both for breathing and the local production of rocket fuel." The researchers reported that "as a bonus"，the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials.ESA and the US space agencyNASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon.NASA has set a goal for 2024 with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods.12.Why is oxygen from moon dust difficult to use？______A. It is tough for human beings to get them.B. It is chemically fixed in materials or glass.C. There exits only a little of it on the moon's surface.D. The conditions of moon dust are worse than expected.13.What is the main idea of the third paragraph？______A. What molten salt electrolysis is.B. Where the value of the study lies.C. How oxygen is extracted from moon dust.D. What is necessary in the oxygen extraction process.14.What is Beth Lomax's attitude towards the possibility of getting oxygen from moon dust？______A. Optimistic.B. Skeptical.C. Cautious.D. Concerned.15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. Recent Studies of Moon Dust by Researchers.B. How Researchers Extracted Oxygen from Moon Dust.C. Potential Significance of Oxygen Extracted from Moon Dust.D. Researchers Report Extracting Oxygen from Moon Dust Successfully.For many of us,nothing is better than burying our head in a good book.Whether it's a crime story or a biography of someone's amazing life,it's good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life.(1) It can be educational and broaden the mind.A good novel can make us happy,or make us cry as we sympathize with characters.A list of books about "bibliotherapy" can be offered to patients.

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Though I know that I can do little to help the animals， I often check dog rehoming websites． Looking through page upon page of pitiful faces looking up， you might be thinking that the only dogs to be abandoned in this country are fierce-looking or large and unruly dogs．Recently， it seems there are some new additions in dog homes． Dogs Trust --- the country's largest dog welfare charity --- says that in the past year over 400 "toy dogs" were handed in， a 44% increase on the year before．"Toy dog" is the traditional term for all little dogs， but in recent years they've increasingly been referred to as "handbag dogs" after the ridiculous manner in which famous people like Paris Hilton carry them around in their ＄ 1，000 handbags， making these dogs the most wanted for impressionable teens． As the popularity of Hilton has waned， however， these dogs are being rudely tipped out of the handbags and given up to charity．In spite of the sad ending that this trend brings for some of these dogs， it can only be a good thing if people become aware that the toy types are still dogs，not dolls to be carried around． If you really are prepared to stick with them，a small dog is just as capable of bringing joy without the need to dress him or her up． A large dog won't sit on your lap while you read the papers or travel happily on the train with you． And a park full of pugs （哈巴狗） would be a happier and safer place than one full of teenage boys and badly trained large dogs． As Edith Wharton said， "My little dog --- a heartbeat at my feet．"1. What is the author's new finding in the dog rehoming websites？ ______A. More "handbag dogs" are given up．B. Some dogs in Dogs Trust are large dogs．C. Teens are likely to play with their "toy dogs"．D. The number of abandoned dogs is increasing．2. What does the underlined word "waned" in the third paragraph most probably mean？ ______A. grown．B. weakened．C. begun．D. worked．3. What might be the author's attitude towards dogs ？ ______A. Large dogs and children make a good park．B. "Handbag dogs" should be forbidden in public places．C. It is good to dress dogs up before carrying them around．D. Keeping small dogs can bring joys in a way．Fifteen-year-old David had spent six months planning a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with his classmates． No one could have known it would end in tragedy．When the group arrived at the starting point for the hike， they found out there was a problem with their permit． To solve it， the five boys and three leaders walk back up to the ranger station （护林站） - only to find out it was closed．When the boys got moving， they'd already drunk most of their water． In the burning sun， temperatures reached 115°F． Even the leaders were having trouble walking on， but the group finally made it down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon． Heat evil was occurring． "My son made it about 100 yards from the river and then dropped，" says his father， Robin． Two boys of them raced to the river to get him water．When the boys arrived， the last rafting （筏运） trip of the day was passing by． As luck would have it， among the waiting riders were a few doctors． They rushed to give David first aid before going for help． But it was too late． David passed away from the heat evil．It's been 21 years since the boy's death， and hiking still holds a strong memory of David for his family． The summer before the tragedy， his father had a long time to devote to his family． David and his dad spent the summer hiking all over the High Uintas， where snow-topped peaks reflect tower over glacier-formed lakes．The photo Robin took of Christmas Meadows there won the Reader's Digest "From Sea to Shining Sea" photo contest and appeared on the July 2017 magazine cover． To Robin， it isn't just a fascinating landscape - it's also a powerful reminder of his late son．4. How many people does David's group consist of？ ______A. 11B. 10C. 8D. 95. Where did Robin take the photo which won the Reader's Digest "From Sea to Shining Sea" photo contest？ ______A. On the High Uintas．B. Where David had been to．C. In the Grand Canyon．D. In the Christmas Meadows．6. What does the passage intend to tell us mainly？ ______A. Take enough water with you when hiking．B. Robin still misses his late son， David．C. Don't hike to the Grand Canyon in too hot weather．D. Doctors can't necessarily succeed in saving every patient．A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online．For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret，I will call her Annie in this article．You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome；she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link thatwill achieve this ．Somebody once said that knowledge is power ，yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power ．Just look at the academics in universities all around the world ；they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world ．In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence ．So knowledge certainly isn't power ．Therefore ，we should change that "wise" statement to "Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit ．"Annie is a typical academic-strong on talk and plans but weaker on actions ．In the period of a twenty-minute conversation ，she stated a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking ．Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker ，but she had taken action on none of them ．At one time she said ，"I'm lost as to what to do next ．"That was my clue to get involved ．"Take action ，" I advised ．All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it ．In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to reviewprogress ．When we finished the conversation ，she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started ．Annie just needs a little encouragement into beneficial action ．7.

How Annie takes actions onB. Why Annie should take actions onher ideas．her ideas．C. What the author suggests toD. What Annie's problem is．Annie．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)It's Time to Put It Away Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realizeit．Don't be addicted to it．Put your phone away，OK？1．Cyber SicknessCyber sickness， also called "digital motion sickness"，symptoms that range fromheadaches to sick feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phoneor watch action-packed videos on your screen．11 Your sense of balanceis different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs．When those inputsdon't agree，that's when you feel dizziness and sickness．2．Text ClawText claw is the unofficial term for pains and muscle contraction felt in thefingers，wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use．12 So if you'realways on your phone，it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands andforearms．3．Eye TirednessDo you stare at a screen for hours on end？If you're doing this，you very wellmight suffer eye strain．13 Staring at your digital devices for a longtime can lead to dry eyes，headaches and tiredness，which can decrease yourproductivity．Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes．4．Text SpineSimilar to the text claw，text spine-discomfort in the neck and spine-happenswhen you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone．14 Beingmindful of how far your spine bends when you're on your phone-and bending it backto an upright position-can help reduce the risk of text neck．5．Pedestrian SafetyPedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users even whencrossing the road．While focused on the cyber world，many of us ignore the potentialdangers of the traffic，and the risks are scary．15A．We should take breaks for a while．B．Traffic rules are more important than smart phones．C．The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs．D．The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age．E．Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the muscles when donerepeatedly．F．To avoid injury or worse，put your phone away until you've reached a safe spot．G．Any activity that requires active use of your eyes-driving and readingincluded-can cause eye tiredness．11.

What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Parag raph 3?A.To avoid doing a dutyB.To choose to doC.To decide not to be part of a groupD.To decide onBOne day I was driving home with a woman. She rolled down the window, fifty feet away from the driveway and spit her gum （口香糖）out of the window. “Couldn’t you just wait five seconds and put your gum where it belongs?” I asked, annoyed. She was not the only one who was gum-lazy. Consider the following. Every time I brush chewed gum under my desk, I shake with fright. At Folsom Middle School, whe never I had to walk by the gum wall next to the girls’ locker room, I felt totally disgusted. When I was young, I walked outside during my dance show in my ballet shoes, always stepping right on a big and juicy piece of bubble gum. I was extremely upset.The worst part of all these incidents is that a trash can is located near. But some people are too lazy to walk towards it.If you can’t be a responsible gum chewer, don’t chew at all. That’s all I’m going to say.Take Singapore as a good example. The chewing gum ban in Singapore was placed. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore, whether for the purpose of trade or personal chewing. However, the ban has been partly lifted with some types of gum, such as medical gum, allowable. This comes with the warning that it is sold only by a druggist, who has to take down the names of buyers. Obviously, the Singapore government gets angry at gum stuck in keyholes of mailboxes and on elevator buttons.Not only is it annoying, but chewing gum can actually do harm to the health. Most gum contains aspartame （阿斯巴甜）, a chemical sweetener （增甜剂）that the US government is now deciding whether or not it is a deadly chemical. If it is, it may cause cancer. Other studies suggestthat aspartame may cause neurological（神经系统的）disorders. Therefore, aspartame is not allowed to use in the US.So just say no to chewing gum.24. What did the author think of the woman’s behavior?A. It was strange.B. It was unacceptable.C. It was dangerous.D. It was violent.25 According to Paragraph 2, the author _________.A. stepped on a piece of gum while dancingB. cleaned gum under her desk sometimesC. was troubled by chewed gumD. often found chewed gum in her locker26. What do we know about aspartame?A. It is proved to be a harmless chemical.B. It is the cause of many kinds of cancer..C. It is being refused by the US government.D. It is the main ingredient of chewing gum.27. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To advise people against chewing gum.B. To criticize people who are lazy.C. To persuade people to buy medical gum.D. To make comments on the ban in Singapore.CMarch 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.According to a poll (民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much slee p as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.28. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. To wake up the sleepersB. To draw people’s attentionC. To serve as a morning callD. To declare the special day29. From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______A. Being healthier is one of the advantages for usB. Sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectationsC. Spending more time on sleeping is a waste of timeD. Enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things30. What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that_______.A. Sleeping is an image problemB. People care little about sleepingC. Lazy people tend to sleep longD. Sleeping is only part of our life31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about people’s sleeping problems.B. To provide an investigation result of sleeping.C. To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.D. To stress the function of sleeping at night.DThe chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps. Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to kno w what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was goingon---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that ch imps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”32. We can learn from the passage that _________.A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plantsB. chemicals in plants help cure animalsC. scientists live with chimps to study their dietsD. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants33. How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?A. By talking with the biologists.B.. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.34. The author wrote the passage to ___________.A. provide a solutionB. test a theoryC. present a findingD. describe an experiment35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Animal doctors.B. Forest plants.C. Chimp’s diets.D. A cure for cancer.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Daddy explained that he had tried everything to get home for Christmas ， but without success ． At the last minute ， several workers had decided to drive ． But the nearest guy lived miles away ． So daddy started walking on Christmas Eve until he arrived home ． He had walked all night to get home to his family ．Though the presents that year were wonderful ， the best gift was not found under the tree ． Daddy's special surprise made this my most memorable Christmas ．4. Why did daddy give up celebrating Christmas with the family ？ ______A. He was unwilling to spend money ．B. He faced a long distance then ．C. He was short of money to travel home ．D.

Parents' Wonderful Gifts on Christmas MorningMany of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance ．These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection ．Of the common berries ， strawberries are highest in vitamin C ， although ， because of their seeds ， raspberries contain a little more protein （蛋白质）， iron and zinc （not that fruits have much protein ）． Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants （抗氧化物质）． The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants ． As for cherries （樱桃）， they are so delicious who cares ？ However ， they are rich in vitamin C ．When combined with berries of slices of other fruits ， frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick ， cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream"． Forthis purpose， select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter． Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze． If you like，a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown． Frozen bananas will last several weeks， depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer．If you have a juicer， you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit．Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert， to be eaten right away． This makes a fun activity for a children's party； they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below．8. What does the author seem to like about cherries？A. They contain protein．B. They are high in vitamin A．C. They have a pleasant taste．D. They are rich in antioxidants．9.

A travelbrochure．Watching Nick Veasey's "Exposing the Invisible"， I am captured by the intersection （交集） between technology and art， something Veasey does quite well．Veasey has taken a high-tech field， in which he is an expert， radiography （X 光照相）， and turned it into an art form in its own right． What makes it so impressive is that through the use of what was designed as a "functional technology"， he changes the way that we see the world． He also redefines how a technology， invented for one purpose， can in fact be the parent of another end．Radiology （放射医学） is a complex technology， requiring expensive equipment． 19th-century photography required a complex set-up， dangerous chemicals and a deep understanding of the science behind it． In addition， 19th-century photography was seen far more as a "functional technology" than as an art form in its own right． The main purpose was to record "important events" or "important people"． This is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience． Take a look at old photographs of your grandparents or great grandparents． See how they sit rigid and formal before the camera． Having your picture taken was in many ways similar to having your leg X-rayed． This was what the complex and expensive technology created - a very formal and nervous occasion．All of this changed for photography in the 1930s when the Leica company replaced large and heavy "view cameras" with small， hand-held cameras． At the same time，the Agfa company released an entirely new kind of film - 35mm plastic rolls with multiple exposures． The days of sitting stiffly and formally before a heavy camera with a single piece of sheet film in it were over． This made photography vastlysimpler ， but it had a much deeper impact ． Now ， for the first time ， photographers were freed from the expensive equipment ， the lights and the studios ． They were able to move freely with their cameras and take multiple exposures ． They could visit exotic （异国的） places ． The entire process ， together with the mechanics of photography ， was changed ． And so was the product ． Photographs became more immediate and far more powerful ． In effect ， photography ， which had been a "functional technology" with very specific ends ， became an art form in its own right ． This did not happen quickly ． An exhibit entitled "The Family of Man"， created by Alfred Stieglitz ， opened in the Museum of Modern Art in 1955． Stieglitz has long been credited as the man responsible for having photography seen as an art form ， and his artistic work certainly helped the invention of Leicas ， but it was with the arrival of that far simpler and cheaper technology that photography ， as an art form ， came into its own ．12. Why does Nick Veasey impress the author so deeply ？ ______A. He is a successful doctor ．B. He is an expert in radiography ．C. He is a pioneer in the field of high technology ．D. His works make people see the world differently ．13. The third paragraph mainly talks about ______ ．A. why radiology appeared in the 19th centuryB. the basic information on 19-century photographyC. how Veasey began his career in radiographyD. people's attitudes towards photography in the 19th century14. The underlined sentence "it had a much deeper impact" in Paragraph 4 implies that ______ ．A. photography would experience a revolutionB. The 35mm film would be used in more fieldsC. photographers would earn more by taking photosD. the Leica company would cooperate with the Agfa company15. What would be the best title for the passage ？ ______A. Tips on taking a beautiful pictureB. The development of the Leica companyC. The transformation of technology into artD.
