重庆实验外国语学校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Many countries around the globe pride themselves on their lingual diversity. Here are a few of the most polyglot places on Earth.ArubaAruba sits in the far southern Caribbean sea near V enezuela. Dutch is an official language and is taught in all schools, both English and Spanish are also compulsory(必修的)languages in Aruba’s education system. However, none of these languages is considered the native language of Aruba on the street, at home locals communicate with one another in Papiament. Papiamento is an official language alongside Dutch, and it is used regularly in the media and in government.East TimorThis tiny young nation sits in the far south-eastern comer of the Indonesian Archipelago. Once a colony(殖民地)of Portugal, Timor decided to adopt Portuguese as an official language after independence. The local tongue, Tetum, is the most widely spoken language on the street. In addition, English and Indonesian are used throughout the country, and both are officially recognized as working languages.IndiaHindi and English are the official national languages of India, and the majority of educated Indians have knowledge of both, though English is preferred over Hindi in southern India. Each state in India has its own official language (s), most of which differ from Hindi. These languages are used in the local media and on the street.South AfricaSouth Africa has 11 official languages. In many urban areas, English is the lingua franca (通用语). It is also the main language of the government and media, even though less than ten percent of South Africans speak it as a first language. Afrikaans, a Germanic language similar to Dutch, is spoken in the southern and western regions of the country. South Africa has nine official Bantu languages, of which：Zulu and Xhosa are the most common. 1．Which of the following is the official language of Aruba?A．Dutch and Spanish.B．Dutch and Papiamento.C．Spanish and English.D．English and Papiamento.2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Aruba was once a colony of Portugal.B．East Timor lies in the far southernCaribbean sea.C．English is preferred over Hindi in India.D．South Africa media uses English as the main language.3．What do these places have in common?A．They adopt English as an official language.B．They are education-centred places.C．They have more than two official languages.D．They are multilingual communities.The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, IDay, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 4．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Stress.B．Threat.C．Shame.D．Glory.5．According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event?A．Her confidence in her sports skills.B．The efforts she put into exercising.C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats.D．The strong influence of her father. 6．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood?A．She changed the focus into reading.B．She stuck to working out.C．She regularly exercised on weekends.D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To express her love for sports.B．To show her father’s guidance on sports.C．To stress the advantages of physical exercise.D．To share her childhood memories about sports.You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down a river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: single bamboo drifting (独竹漂).Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court in the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became single bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.Yang Liu, an inheritor (继承者) of single bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “Usually, the bamboo under our feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in our hands is about 5 meters. If the length of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current (水流) by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell into the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. Yang also shows creativity when spreading the culture of single bamboo drifting. For example, she includes dance in single bamboo drifting to make it more graceful. As han fu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I’m extremely proud to get the response from viewers that singlebamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and make it known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily. 8．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?A．Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.B．Single bamboo drifting needs lots of skills.C．Bamboo was costly in Guizhou over 2,000 years ago.D．The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.9．What is the biggest challenge in learning single bamboo drifting?A．Keeping balance on a bamboo pole.B．Maintaining a fixed angle.C．Finding the proper bamboo.D．Holding the bamboo firmly in hands. 10．What do the viewers think of single bamboo drifting?A．It’s confusing.B．It’s impossible.C．It’s unbelievable.D．It’s effortless. 11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Balancing with Grace B．Chinese Cultural HeritageC．A Creative Performer D．Transporting Bamboo down the RiverResearchers in China have found a new, genetically (基因上) pure species of the critically endangered Chinese giant salamander (中国大鲵) in the wild. The new species was found in a largely undisturbed part of the Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province. The animals are the only known genetically pure, reproducing giant salamander population in its natural habitat in the country. “The discovery of the new species in a closed nature reserve provides hope that other genetically pure species may still exist in other such places,” said Robert Murphy, a professor at the University of Toronto and one of the co-authors of the study.The Chinese giant salamander is believed to have remained almost unchanged for 170 million years. While Chinese giant salamanders used to be thought of as one species, recent studies have revealed that there are five to eight genetically distinct species in the country. However, the species arc under great threat of extinction due to habitat loss, water pollution and overexploitation (过度开发) of wild populations over the past decades.Chinese giant salamanders have been protected in China since the 1980s. “After the discovery of multiple species of Chinese giant salamanders, China quickly put into place several actions, such as providing additional funding for critical research, establishing a seriesof nature reserves for the species, and promoting cooperation between scientists and biologists,” Murphy said.The researchers are now trying to track down more giant salamanders. Murpby said the discovery opened up new possibilities, such as establishing breeding farms with genetically pure salamanders to help populate ecosystems. In their paper, the researchers also stressed the importance of undisturbed habitats for protecting wildlife. “Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species,” they said.12．Why is the new discovery by Chinese researchers important?A．It confirms the need for more independent studies on biodiversity.B．It proves the genetic transformation of Chinese giant salamanders.C．It suggests the importance of increasing funding for nature reserves.D．It indicates the presence of other genetically pure species elsewhere.13．What can be learned from paragraph 2?A．Some species of Chinese giant salamanders have become extinct.B．Chinese giant salamander numbers have declined in recent decades.C．Chinese giant salamanders have remained unchanged for 170 million years.D．Some breeding programs have been launched to protect Chinese giant salamanders. 14．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．China’s lessons from the past.B．China’s cooperation with other countries.C．China’s efforts to protect giant salamanders.D．China’s ambition to develop new nature reserves.15．What would the researchers most probably agree with according to the last paragraph?A．More closed nature reserves should be established.B．Traditional conservation methods are more efficient.C．Mixed breeding can be used to protect endangered species.D．Large breeding farms are beneficial to the growth of giant salamanders.How to Feel ConnectedIt’s easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in today’s fast-paced world. 16 You can get in touch and feel connected, however, by following the tips below:Consider why you feel disconnected. Knowing what is making you feel disconnected can help you choose the best ways to address it. 17 Ask yourself these questions: Are you keeping yourself occupied with work too much? Do you rely on electronic communication instead of face to face communication? Do you lack friendships that are satisfying?Interact with people in person. Technology is a great way to stay in touch, but sometimes you need to spend time with other people in person. 18 Or simply visiting someone once a week can keep it strong. You can also take steps to feel more connected by making small-talk with strangers who are sharing parts of your day.19 Your loved ones could feel shy, so you may never know how to improve your relationship unless you ask the right questions. Asking them to open the doors can give you some insight on what you can do. Learning this information can help to strengthen your bond.Show your commitment to them. Simply showing up and being there for your loved ones says a lot about how much you value your relationships. Putting in the time shows them that you are committed and want to stay connected. 20A．Ask others what they need from you.B．Sometimes you can feel isolated and distant from the ones you love.C．Be brave to express your love.D．Reach out to people to schedule a time to get together.E．Attending family events can help to strengthen your relationship.F．Targeting your efforts toward those issues allows you to close that distance more effectively.G．You can have a gift delivered to friends on special occasions.二、完形填空Five years ago, my husband and I bought a farm.

At a time when he was on the path to young adulthood, he had no father to guide him on the way. He had a painful experience as a young boy, but learned, with the help of his marriage, to forgive his dad just before his dad died in his 80s. Now, with a wife of 29 years and two successful adult children — Kristine, 27, who works with kids, and Kyle, a software engineer — Kenney wants to pay it forward.“My goal in life was to raise good adults, not good children,” he explains.

And the quarantine (隔离期) was actually the perfect time for him to finally share some key life skills with other kids who might be growing up in difficult situations —maybe they’ve lost a parent or have parents who are absent.So the dad set up a heart-warming YouTube program called Dad, How Do I?, a program that shares instructional videos like how to cook a meal and tie a perfect tie.His practical tips have really touched the viewers, which are growing in number day by day.

It uses stone as door frames (门框) and solid wood in black lacquer (漆) as door leaves (门扇)．Over the past 100 years，many significant historical events have been seen in shikumen houses, such as the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1921.Unfortunately, many Shangbai locals don’t even know about shikumen houses, and they are disappearing due to the development of the city. To make a difference, a group of students from Shanghai International S tudies University has established a studio called “Meeting Shikumen”. “We probably can’t stop them from disappearing,” said Mei Zi, 18, the leader of the group. “But we want to let more people know that shikumen houses exist.”Starting in 2022, the students opened accounts on WeChat and Instagram to share information about shikumen houses, such as the significance of their architectural design and how they reflect Shanghai culture. To draw more young people’s attention to shikumen houses, they also created original IP figures called “Kuku” and “Tiantian”. The students even created a series of WeChat stickers of Kuku and Tiantian, which now have been used by more than 10,000 people.“This project has become a tradition of our university and will be carried on by students,” Mei said. “In the future, we want to interact with international students in Shanghai, by taking them on theme tours of shikumen houses, to share shikumen with people from various cultures.”8. What materials are commonly used in the construction of shikumen houses?A．A mixture of clay and straw.B．A mixture of glass and steel.C．A combination of bamboo and wood.D．A combination of stone and black-lacquered solid wood.9. What is the goal of the “Meeting Shikumen” studio?A．To prevent shikumen houses from disappearing.B．To raise public awareness of shikumen houses.C．To promote the architectural design of shikumen houses.D．To document historical events related to shikumen houses.10. What have the students done to make more young people interested in shikumen houses?A．Created two original IP figures.B．Organised theme tours of shikumen houses.C．Developed an app to introduce shikumen architecture.D．Produced a documentary on the history of shikumen houses.11. What is the stud ents’ future plan for the “Meeting Shikumen” studio?A．To preserve shikumen houses as historical landmarks.B．To establish a museum featuring shikumen architecture.C．To increase global recognition of shikumen houses.D．To spread shikumen houses on social media platforms.Several days of unusual warm weather in northern Greenland have caused rapid melting（融化）. “Temperatures have been running around -12.2 ℃-15.5 ℃. It is warmer than normal for this time of year,” scientists said. The amount of ice t hat melted in Greenland between July 15 and July 17 alone-6 billion tons of water per day-would be enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, according to the report from the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Put another way, it was enough to cover the whole state of West Virginia with a foot of water.For the scientists out on the ice sheet（冰盖）, the warmth has been alarming. “It really makes me anxious,” said Kutalmis Saylam, a scientist who is now working in Greenland. “Yesterday, we could hang. about in our T-shirts, which was not really expected. Since Greenland holds enough ice, sea level would rise by 7.5 meters around the world if ice all melted.”In 2020, scientists found that Greenland’s ice sheet had melted beyond the point of no return. “No efforts to prevent global warming can stop it from finally breaking into small parts,” said researchers.Aslak Grinsted, a climate scientist, said that they were trying to get flights into the camp so they can ship out the ice cores（冰芯）they had recently collected. But the warmth is destabilizing the landing site. “The weather we are seeing right now is too hot for the ski-equipped planes to land,” Grinsted said. “So we store the ice cores in large caves we have made into the snow to protect it from the heat of the summer.” Scientists made use of the abnormal warmth while they were waiting, playing volleyball in their shorts on an ice sheet at the top of the world.Grinsted referred to the temperatures as a heat wave, and noted that the possibility of temperatures getting this hot was clearly connected to global warming.12. How does the author support the topic of paragraph 1?A．By exploring reasons. B．By drawing conclusions.C．By making comparisons. D．By doing some experiments.13. What did Kutalmis mean in paragraph 2?A．He disliked wearing a T-shirt.B．He worried about the warmth.C．He was deeply impressed by the ice.D．He was thirsty for enjoying the sea view.14.

First, the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it. 16 Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 17 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process. 18The following methods may work best for you.● Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.● Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.● 19● Use words, not complete sentences.● Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand. When you do, be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time. 20My life as an exchange student finally began!

It was a snake skin found in our garden.“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear（恐惧地）. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained.“Why do they need to renew（使更新）themselves?” Sarah asked.“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. ”As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced. “Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. ” “I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ra n off.I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories in our deep hearts.1．Father jumped up when her daughter came to him with a snake skin because ＿＿＿＿＿＿.A．he didn’t want to read any moreB．he was in great fear of itC．he wanted to praised her daughterD．he hated snakes2．Father’s patient explanation shows that ＿＿＿＿＿＿.A．his d aughter didn’t want to listen to him at allB．he knew children saw only excellence in the worldC．his daughter couldn’t follow him at allD．he wanted to teach everything to her3．We learn from the reading that＿＿＿＿＿＿.A．the girl seemed to understand what her father saidB．the girl wasn’t interested in the explanationC．the father was good at raising snakesD．the father liked the snake skin betterC15、Dear AliceYou really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time.

Nepal's military predicts the death toll may climb to as high as 5,000. The Chinese embassy in Nepal has said that four Chinese were killed, with five severely injured.The initial(最初的) magnitude-eight-point-one quake struck 80 kilometers east of Pokhara on Saturday afternoon. It was followed by a huge aftershock, measuring seven-point-zero. As for Sunday, two big aftershocks have been recorded in the morning, with the latest in the afternoon with a magnitude of 7.1.This is the most powerful earthquake to have hit Nepal in over 80 years. The tremor（震动）was felt by more than 4.6 million people across South and East Asia.Search and rescue efforts are underway for survivors buried under the rubble(瓦砾) and flattened（扁平的）buildings, but efforts are influenced by rain and aftershocks.

The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people. The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policem an under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the place where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.1．This article is probably taken from ________A．a newspaper B．a magazine C．a storybook D．a guidebook2．Which word best describes the search of the three missing people?A．Helpless B．Tough C．Delightful D．Successful3．Which of the following th ings wasn’t found by the police?A．A touring map.

Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country. Tian showed the reasons for it: lower admission (入学许可) requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate (费率). According to Tian, in public schools in Australia a student should pay A$13,000 to A$15,000 ($10,000 to $12,000) a year.“Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five, which means t he cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places, such as Britain and the US,” said Tian.Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia, was among them.“My daughter is good at English and would like to study abroad early,” said Lin, whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing. “We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good.”Eliza Chui, education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai, said that Australia is attractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English, but also because students are trained to have critical (批判性的) thinking and be independent.1．According to Tian Litie, we know that ______.A．more and more Chinese students study abroad at a younger ageB．more and more Australian universities are open to Chinese studentsC．Chinese students are only allowed to study in Australia from senior high schoolD．a student should pay A$10,000 to A$12,000 a year in public schools in Australia2．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Australia allows Chinese students to study in its schools.B．More and more Chinese students go abroad at a younger age.C．More Chinese junior and senior high school students will study in Australia.D．Australian schools offer Chinese students and their parents one more good choice.3．Lin Lina plans to send her daughter to Australia because ______.A．her daughter has travelled to Australia beforeB．she can’t afford to send her daughter to other countriesC．her daughter is an independent student with critical thinkingD．she learned that the environment and education in Australia are good4．According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A．The cost of studying in American schools is lower than in Australia.B．The exchange rate of the Australian dollar is of advantage to Chinese students.C．It’s more difficult for Chinese students to enter Australian junior high schools.D．Few students choose to study in Britain or the US because of too much money.5．What is the passage mainly about?A．Y ou should think twice before you decide to go abroad.B．More and more Chinese students choose to study abroad.C．Australian schools will attract more and more Chinese students.D．Australian schools have much more advantages than other schools in the world.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假如你是班长李明，你将安排你班外教的儿子Tom来汉的活动。

The good news? V olunteering can be a great way to settle into a new community, meet people, and learn valuable skills.Kajal Patil moved to the United States from India in February 2017. Having previously volunteered for two years as an assistant yoga (瑜伽) teacher in her home country, Kayal was enthusiastic about volunteering and began looking for volunteer opportunities that match her interests on Volunteer Match.Kajal was drawn to a volunteer opportunity with the Meridian International Center to review applications on behalf of the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI). YLAI aims to empower Latin American and Caribbean business and social entrepreneurs (企业家) to transform their societies and contribute more fully to economic development, security, human rights, and good governance.Kajal had previous experience working with the markets candidates were applying from, and the position also allowed her to work remotely. Her role involved reviewing 44 in-depth applications from potential candidates across Latin America and the Caribbean for a four-week fellowship in the U. S. She was responsible for describing the business ideas presented by these candidates, assessing the social impact of their businesses, and determining the strength ofcandidates to carry out their plans.Kajal says that this volunteer opportunity super-charged her existing skills while helping her build new ones such as time management, business analysis, decision-making, planning, and presenting. She is now looking for her next volunteer opportunity and reflects positively on her experience with Meridian International Center. “A new country brings in a lot of new experiences and volunteering helped me to settle into a new environment,” adds Kajal. “By helping others, I felt needed in society. It indeed boosted my self-worth.”4．What is a benefit of volunteering according to the first paragraph?A．It offers opportunities to network with influential individuals.B．It helps people better adapt to new environments.C．It breathes new life into people’s creativity.D．It promotes a sense of responsibility.5．What is the primary objective of YLAI?A．To boost tourism in Latin American and Caribbean countries.B．To provide financial support to Latin American and Caribbean students.C．To assist Latin American and Caribbean entrepreneurs in promoting societal development.D．To develop political relations between Latin American and Caribbean nations.6．What was Kajal’s responsibility when working with Meridian International Center?A．Reviewing and assessing fellowship applications.B．Teaching yoga to fellowship candidates.C．Planning social events for local entrepreneurs.D．Organizing fundraising activities.7．What do Kajal’s words in the last paragraph mainly show?A．The challenges of volunteering.B．The self-improvement through volunteering.C．The process of finding a volunteer opportunity in the U. S.D．The importance of using professional skills in volunteering.Do you remember being asked what you wanted to be when you grew up? No doubt the more imaginative your answer, the more approval you would get. But once we reach adolescence(青春期), there’s far less tolerance for answers like, “I’m going to be a marine biologist, circus clown and journalist!” Now the question translates as You are allowed one identity in this life, so which is it?At university you need to choose a subject to major in, which leads to one specific degree, intended for one type of job. The message that you need to specialise is reinforced (强化) in many contexts. Career guidance books and counsellors give you tests to help you identify your dream job.But what happens if you’re curious about several subjects, and there are many things you’d like to study? If you’re unable or unwilling to settle on a single career path, you might worry that you don’t have one true calling like everybody else and that, therefore, your life lacks purpose. As the saying goes, you’re a “jack of all trades, master of none”.In reality, the ambitious young people of today are more interested in moving around and doing different things. In the modern workplace, people are working flexibly and the individual is in control of their professional life and in a position to make decision s about how, when and where they work. Rather than finding something and doing it forever, the new challenge is to find a way of working that works for you.This new flexible workplace is one where generalists feel at ease. People who have a range of interests are suited to the modern workplace in two essential ways. Firstly, they are used to combining two or more fields and it is at the intersection (十字路口) between seemingly unrelated ideas that innovation often happens. Secondly, people who change roles frequently are less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of their comfort zones. They’re fast learners.8．What does the author say about university students?A．They tend to lose their imagination.B．They feel pressured to choose a speciality.C．They could benefit from career counselling.D．They find it impossible to make decisions independently.9．What does the author suggest in the third paragraph?A．People refuse to choose a career on purpose.B．Everybody should find a passion and stick to it.C．You’ll never succeed unless you find your dream job.D．Some people may be unsure what career they really like.10．What are people like in the modern workplace?A．They rarely decide what they want to do.B．They prefer to stay in the same profession.C．They are constantly challenged to change jobs.D．They are taking control of how they work.11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The importance of continuous learning.B．Advantages of generalists in the future workplace.C．Ways the modern workplace makes use of flexible workers.D．The relationship between personal interests and career choicesOne of humanity’s greatest achievements has been mastering routes across the world’s oceans. Communities separated by thousands of miles have been brought into contact. Customs have been decisively changed by the movement of ships across the oceans. No one drank tea in medieval (中世纪的) Europe, but once contact had been made with the tea-drinking Chinese, tea became the favorite of millions of people from Sweden to the United States.We tend to think that the opening of the oceans was the work of great explorers like Christopher Columbus, especially the 15th-century pioneers who edged their way through uncharted waters to southern Africa, the Indian Ocean and the spice lands of the Indies. But while these men did give the Age of Discovery its name, they didn’t start the exploration of the world’s oceans.There were scores of merchants who developed trade links across the world and started modern globalization. These were the people who really mastered the oceans and brought the continents into contact. Already around 2500 BCE, merchants were setting out from what is now Iraq, the seat of the ancient Sumerian civilization, carrying silver ingots (银锭) to India. On the way, they got copper (铜) from Oman and brought precious objects such as carnelian (红玛瑙) from India. The Indian Ocean became one of the great channels of trade between nations.By 1500 CE, the Portuguese had begun to show interest in what the Atlantic might offer. That interest had resulted in the settlement of unoccupied islands. When European sailors startedentering the Pacific and the Indian Ocean in the 16th century, they found a lively maritime (海运的) world that they could never truly dominate. Since then, the oceans have only continued to tie the world together.In the 21st century, however, new factors have changed entirely the way goods are carried across the seas. The great port cities of the world have been replaced by automated docks. Container ships carry many thousands of containers. Business today operates on a much larger level than it did just two decades ago. And yet, through trade and cultural exchange, the seas continue to connect even the most distant lands.12．Why does the author mention tea drinking in the first paragraph?A．To discuss the health benefits of drinking tea.B．To emphasize the popularity of tea in medieval EuropeC．To show how Europeans started to adopt Chinese customs.D．To highlight the spread of cultural practices through ocean contact.13．What does the underlined part “edged their way” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Dominated the maritime world.B．Settled on unoccupied islands quickly.C．Successfully established a convenient route.D．Carefully moved forward under challenging situations.14．Who are the pioneers of ocean exploration according to the text?A．The merchants from the ancient Sumerian civilization.B．The great explorers during the Age of Discovery.C．The Portuguese settlers of remote islands.D．The European sailors who entered the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.15．What is a suitable title for the text?A．The Impact of Tea on Global TradeB．Ocean Exploration Changed Human HistoryC．Merchants Advanced the Development of CapitalismD．The Transformation of Ocean Shipping in the 21st CenturyEvery living thing depends on the ocean. So when we hear the ocean is in trouble from theeffects of overfishing, climate change, and pollution, it’s easy to feel powerless. 16 But there are plenty of action s you can take that will make a big difference for the ocean.17The more you learn about the ocean, the better prepared you’ll be to inspire change-and help others do the same. Thankfully, there are many ways to educate yourself about the ocean and the challenges it faces, from books and documentaries to websites, museums, art exhibits, and more.Check the labelHelp keep fisheries healthy by choosing sustainable seafood when you grocery shop or dine out. 18 Look for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) labels. Their blue and green fish logos (标识) on your seafood ensure your fish can be traced back to sustainably-managed fisheries and farms.Reduce your carbon emissions19 Decrease the effects of climate change on the ocean by cutting your carbon footprint at home: turn off lights when you’re not using them, walk or ride your bike to work, and demand renewable energy options in your community.Travel smarterConsider booking your next trip through a responsible travel company that’s committed to protecting wildlife and using guides who are aware of rules and best practices. Once you arrive at your destination, be respectful of marine life and habitats. And be careful about your purchases.20A．Increase your ocean IQ.B．Skip the single-use plastics.C．What should be done to travel responsibly?D．What’s the easiest way to make sure your seafood is sustainable?E．Many of these issues will require leadership from governments and businesses.F．In the last decades, the ocean has absorbed 90% of the extra heat created by burning fossil fuels.G．Purchasing items like shark products damages delicate ecosystems and threatens endangered species.二、完形填空Most schools put great importance on how well students can do in math or science, but life skills or social skills are rarely prioritized (优先考虑).

2021-2022学年重庆市高二(上)期末英语试卷(附详解)
2021-2022学年重庆市高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）AStill AliceIn this film,we can catch a glimpse of a family's relationships,fears,concerns and struggles.Alice,the film's main character,deals bravely with Alzheimer's disease：she's the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.Julianne Moore's amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.Not surprisingly,Julianne Moore won the 2015 Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role. ElizabethThis is a wonderful film about Elizabeth Ⅰ，who was faced with the difficult task of becoming a wise and strong monarch（君主）.Cate Blanchett is amazing in the role of the queen-majestic,powerful,and strong-willed-who opens a "golden age" in the history of England.Suspense,passion,betrayal,adventure-all these things are combined in this thrilling and epic（史诗的）movie with perfect scenes and wonderful performances by the actors.Thelma & LouiseLouise is working in a diner as a waitress and has some problems with her boyfriend Jimmy,who,as a musician,is always on the road.Thelma is married to Darry who likes his wife to stay quiet in the kitchen so that he can watch football on TV.One day they decide to break out of their normal life and jump in the car and hit the road.Their journey,however,turns into a flight when Louise kills a man who threatens to harm Thelma.Erin BrockovichThe film is about Erin Brockovich,a strong woman.She may not be a genius,but her persistence （坚持）and concern for the fate of others allow her to achieve the impossible：a victory over a powerful and major corporation that is poisoning people on purpose.When you are about to give up on something,simply watch this movie for motivation.The Devil Wears PradaAs assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor MirandaPriestly,young and smart Andy Sachs has landed a job that "a million girls would diefor".Unfortunately,her heaven-sent appointment as Miranda's personal girl just might be the death of her!1.Which movie shows the struggle against an evil company？______A.

The film is full of fantastic scenes and amazing performances.3.What do these movies have in common？______A. When people are to give up on something,simply look for women for help.B. Women are strong,independent,wise,talented and brave,and can teach us a lot.C. It is extremely difficult for young women to work and get promoted in a fashionindustry.D. It is quite normal for women to help each other when they are in need.BWhen Spring cleaning season arrived this year I decided that it was time to get rid of more than just a Winter's worth of dust and dirt.It was the time to get rid of years worth of accumulated （累积的）stuff as well.This stuff was lining my walls,filling my shelves,and crowding my closets.This stuff was filling my home and my mind and not bringing me one bit of happiness.I couldn't even remember how I got some of it,but I knew I wanted it gone.It turned out to be an even bigger job than I thought. Twenty-year-old bills and receipts were thrown in the trash.Piles of papers were no longer necessary or needed.Broken bowls,dented pans,and cracked knickknacks were finally thrown away.Unworn clothes were taken out of the closet and packed to be given away to the local charity.Old books were boxed up to be passed on for others to read and enjoy.It took several days to get it all done,but in the end I was able to walk through a home that seemed a little less messed.My heart was a lot lighter too.It felt so good to be able to get rid of all the junk and to just focus on the essential stuff in life again.What is the essential stuff？What is the stuff that bring meaning to our day？A loving heart isessential.A joyful spirit is essential.A soul full of goodness and God is essential.And a life full of sharing all of these things is absolutely essential.The essential stuff can't be bought,sold,or stored.It can only be chosen,created,and given away.The essential stuff is the stuff we all really want.It is the stuff we all really need.4.Which word can describe the author's feeling towards accumulated stuff？______A.

Education.7.What is the best title of the text？______A. It's Time To Move OnB. What Matters MostC. How To Get Rid Of JunkD. What Is JunkCArtificial intelligence becoming self-ware and ending the human race is a common theme in science fiction.The levels of high intelligence that AI could reach is a real concern among some scientists.But with more talk of AI and smart devices in the home,what are the merits of bringing these things into your life？Hans Rosling,a professor of international health,once spoke about the impact and changes that the washing machine made.The once tough task of cleaning clothes by hand was taken on by a machine and freed up more time for other activities.There are so many smart devices that you can fill your home with.Imagine waking up to find a hot,freshly brewed cup of coffee,spotless floors that have been recently cleaned and the house set to the perfect temperature.With smart devices,these things can happen while you sleep.The potential to pre-program and automate （自动化）parts of your life means that you can focus on other tasks in your life.But there is a difference between smart devices and AI.Smart devices are the things that get on with the tasks,while AI can "think" or interact,and can be used to control the smart devices.There are many voice-activated AI systems which can control the smart devices around your home.You can ask these devices to start making coffee,dim the lights when they're toobright or even make sure the house is secure.You can inquire as to the weather outside,ask them to play music or search the internet for you when you have a burning question about history or the latest cooking recipes.Some of these devices even have a sense of humor,and upon asking them certain questions,they will answer.In short,in some ways,they can act as company.But how far will it go？Well,we already have self-driving cars and sentient（智能的）tech that can automatically order the delivery of certain products to restock our fridge when we're running low,but often in films and games we see robots taking over all of the domestic duties.It seems for now,that those things only live in our imaginations,but we could be seeing them sooner than we think.8.What does the underlined "merits" word in paragraph 1 mean？______A. Dangers.B. Positives.C. Tasks.D. Troubles.9.What is the advantage of having smart devices according to Hans Rosling？______A. People can write more science fictions about them.B. People take total control of these devices.C. People have more time to do other tasks.D. People can interact with smart devices.10.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed？______A. By listing figures.B. By presenting causes.C. By providing examples.D. By following time order.11.What is the author's prediction about AI？______A. It will kill all human beings in the future.B. Our world will be kept under control by AI.C. Human beings do not need AI in the near future.D. Our life will become totally automatically convenient with AI.DTraditional wisdom says that if you want to be richer,a useful thing to do is get married.Life is cheaper when only one mortgage（贷款）to pay and someone else can do certain tasks-cooking or car repair more efficiently than you.The research by Ohio State University's Zagorsky shows the married increase their wealth an average 16% a year,while those who are single increase their net worth at half that rate.Yet the economic benefit of marriage isn't what it used to be.In a book,ChangingPoverty,Changing Policies,a social scientist show that the marriage premium（附加值）hasfallen.Cancian,a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,set out to study how the changing make-up of American families has affected the number of people below the poverty line.Considering how the rate of marriage has fallen and the rate of divorce has risen,the researcher expected the number of people with their born younger generation living below the poverty line to grow by 2.6%.But when he looked at the data,poverty had increased by less than half that amount.Why？Because single women,even those with kids,have an easier time supporting themselves outside of marriage than they used to.More women are working,increasingly for wages that are competitive with those of men.Women are having children later in life,and fewer ofthem.Besides,a growing percentage of women who have children but aren't married don't live on their own.In 1970，62% of single mothers were the only adult in their household,but by 2019，just 55% are living without another means of support-thanks to more women living together with a male partner or grandparent.That's not to say marriage doesn't coincide with（与一致）economic benefits.A child in a single-parent family,for instance,is five times as likely to live below the poverty line.What Cancian tries to illustrate,though,is that marriage wouldn't necessarily produce morewealth.Marrying someone who is unemployed for a long time might very well not be an economic increase.12.According to paragraph 1，what's the benefit of getting married？______A. The wealth of the married people increased more.B. One could leave the housework to the other.C. The couple could own more than one house.D. The couple would become the rich people.13.Paragraph 3 is centered on ______ .A. women do not want to have children or just fewer of them.B. more women are working and can make more money than men.C. single women meet fewer challenges to feed themselves than before.D. single mothers now enjoy living with a male partner or grandparents.14.According to Cancian,what produces more wealth in marriage？______A. One of the marriage partners must have strong economic background.B. The couples are not trapped in unemployment for a long time.C. The men who support the families have a good salary.D. The women can earn much more than their partners.15.What is the purpose of the text？______A. To give information about marriage and wealth.B. To suggest a new method of building more wealth.C. To compare married persons with single ones.D. To persuade people to get married.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）How to get energetic after working hoursAfter a long workday,all you want to do is go home,sit on the couch and turn on the TV.So you've planned to go to the gym after work？"I'll go tomorrow,I promise." (1) .Here are some tips for getting yourself to hit the gym after a tiresome workday,offered by Women's Health magazine：(2) .Why not change the "Ker-calm and carry on" poster to some inspirational shape messages around' your workplace？If you think "No pains,no gains" is too ordinary,how about "And though she may be but little,she is fierce."？When your colleagues ask about it,tell them the quote is from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.Eat breakfast.Even though it's hours before your trip to the gym,having a balanced breakfast will keep you energized throughout the rest of the day. (3) .Eat a little lunch.No matter what you're eating,if you have too much of it,your blood sugar is going to rise rapidly and then drop back down. (4) .Try to avoid foods with refined carbohydrates or lots of sugar.Keeping your blood sugar steady will stabilize your energy,help you get more done,and feel awake enough to make it to the gym.Set the goal really low.(5) .And once you're at the gym,you might think："Well,I could probably stay just a little longer." Also remember,some HIIT（high-intensity interval training）workouts are short but very effective.Just search for HIIT workouts online and you can find loads to teach yourself.A.Take advantage of tech.B.This will leave you sleepy and unproductive.C.But of course,tomorrow will be exactly the same.D.This will guarantee that you won't "forget" to go to workout.E.Decorate your office space with motivational photos or slogans.F.Try to include eggs,fruits and whole grain bread in your breakfast.G.If you make your goal really easy,you won't feel too reluctant（勉强的）to achieve it.16.

He slowly leaned in-at which point I was thinking he was about to(33) in my face-and he said,"I don't have to fart（放屁）anymore because you (34) it out of me."
