An astr on aut? What do you n eed todo to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that study ing well and the n going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are con sta ntly taughtIt ' s been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant （ 移植）,and now, what he really wants to do is playing football.“ I feel happyabout my new han ds, and I don ' t feel differe nt. I like that now I can throw a football further tha n whe n I did n' t have han ds, ” he said.The nation ' s youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how touse his new han ds. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after sufferi ng from a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throw ing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team l eader of Zion ' s operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “ I ' ve never seen Zion cry, ” Levin said."He' s just an amaz ing boy. He has such courage and determ in ati on and gives us all■ ■ g ■ ” in spirati on.Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said,"It ' s been a long journey but now I feel like I am livingin my dream. It ' s his dream, and it ' s mine, too. I ' m just living through him, and I just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do. ”However , Zion told reporters his mom wouldn't let him try out for football. His momsaid it ' s too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids,not professionals,and she told him they would discuss it later.

Optimistic and activeD. Open-min ded and outgo ing.10. What does the un derl ined word "counter ” in the last paragraph mean? A. acceptB. proveC. be aga instD. comme ntthat our hard work will even tually pay off.But a gover nment survey has show n that hard work is not the only thing that will helpyou to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know whe n it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more importa nt tha n your educati on?76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in in flue ncing your cha nces of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.Even if you don ' t have a privileged background, the people you know can still makea differe nee to your career. Network ing is a skill which is en couraged by many careeradvisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet otherpeople, to com muni cate and build relati on ships. It ' s a valuable skill.But the survey also showed someth ing quite in terest ing. Although most people believed that n etworks are more importa nt tha n educati on, many people put their own career successdow n to tale nt, rather tha n backgro und. 41%of the people said that their pare nts ' in come had in flue need their life, but at the sametime, ano ther 41%believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more importa nt, what you know or who you know?

AThere are some Christmas traditions between the United Kingdom and the United States.Letters to Santa ClausIn the United States, kids usually write letters to Santa and put them in the mailbox. However, in England we throw them directly into the fire. We don’t plan to make kids cry because burning the letters can send them to the North Pole where Santa can read your Christmas wishes in the smoke. It may seem strange but it does save on postage.Hanging stockingsTraditionally, American kids hang stockings around the fireplace for Santa to fill with presents. But in the UK, we hang stockings around the bed; being surrounded by presents is a fantastic way to wake up on Christmas morning.Christmas puddingAmericans prefer to have pumpkin and pecan pies for the Christmas dessert; while we British are fond of Christmas pudding, which is a cake flavored with dried fruits and spices.Dealing with Christmas treeWe British choose to take down the Christmas trees and the decorations within 12 days of Christmas, because we hold the belief that keeping them beyond that time can bring bad luck. This is probably a tradition that Americans should consider adopting. I have seen people keep their old, brown, dry and withered Christmas trees until almost July 4.21. How do the British people deal with "Letters to Father Christmas"?A. Emailing them to Santa.B. Hiding them in the mailbox.C. Putting them in the stockings.D. Throwing them straight into the fire.22. Why do the British take down the Christmas trees as early as possible?A. To stop it from drying.B. To expect good luck.C. To save money.D. To reuse it for the next year.23. What do Christmas traditions between Britain and America have in common?A. Writing letters to Santa.B. Making pumpkin puddings.C. Hanging stockings around the bed.D. Keeping Christmas trees for months.BI am Tony, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2019, I have done 99 trips-of those, 56 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted (移植) in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.Last year, I had a trip where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: "Well, I’m really sorry, but I’ve got some ba d news for you - there are no flights to Washington." So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: "In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom." She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, rerouted (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, I’m consciously aware that in that box I’ve got something that is potentially going to save someone’s life.24. What does the underlined word "courier" mean in paragraph 1？A. provider.B. collector.C. delivery man.D. medical doctor.25. Why does Tony have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. The operation needs that much time.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. He can’t stay away from his job too long.D. The ice can only last such a period of time.26. Why did the woman arrange a new flight for Tony?A. To help save a patient.B. To avoid being hit by Tony.C. To get the stem cell.D. To drop everything.27. What does the author think of his job?A. Tiresome.B. Interesting.C. Meaningless.D. Significant.CThe famous British writer Charles Dickens, who penned the letter that led the signatures of resistance to street music in 1864, would be pleased to hear that, to be a busker (街头艺人) in London today, one must pass a strict "interview" first. Each busker must go through a shortlist process and then perform live in one of underground stations in front of three judges. Each musician must perform two songs (one prepared by themselves and the other selected by judges from a submitted set list). The judging process reviews the musician’s songs, musicality, tech nique skill and performance. If successful, the musician will receive a 12-month license to perform in the street. Last year, more than 600 musicians attended the "interview" and only 70 got license.The method of tipping buskers is changing. London is the first city in the world to introduce the electronic payment system (EPS). London mayor (市长) Sadiq Khan described London as "a powerhouse of music". "For London to keep its status as a global capital of music, it’s vitally important that we support the stars of tomorrow," Khan said. "Busking helps them show their talent and gives them the chance to perform in front of huge numbers of people. The new method means more people will now be able to show their support for the capital city’s many street performers because it’s more convenient for them to do so."Charlotte Campbell is one such busker who’s been helping to trial the project. After only two weeks, she said it had "already had a significant effect on the contributions I’ve received." She’s noticed when one person taps the reader to donate, others who witness the act often follow suit, suggesting people are more than willing to adopt the new way of rewarding buskers.28. What was Charles Dickens’ attitude towards street music in London?A. Favorable.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.29. What is the 1st paragraph mainly about?A. The long history of street music.B. The way of playing street music.C. The buskers’ competition to get a license.D. The introducti on of buskers in London.30. Why did London mayor promote the new scheme?A. To make more people help the buskers.B. To show London is full of buskers.C. To catch up with modern art trends.D. To reform street music’s performance.31. How did London people respond to the EPS according to Charlotte Campbell?A. They were opposed to it.B. They accepted it quickly.C. They paid no attention to it.D. They thought it made no difference.DAfter Bernini broke his neck and lost all movements below his shoulders when he was 18, his brain still told his hands how to move-but the message couldn’t get through the injured part that connects his brain to other parts of his body. Now, thanks to recent advances in electrical stimulation (刺激) technology, Bernini can once again grasp, pour, and even play Guitar Hero. To do so, he uses a microelectrode array (MEA) that reads his brain’s signals and sends them through wires to something like a sleeve on his arm that electronically stimulates his muscles.In the past years, researchers have used several approaches to guide patients like Bernini to move their hands. In some systems, researchers implanted (植入)sensors in shoulder muscles that patients could still control, allowing them to move one hand by contracting muscles in the opposite shoulder. Other systems use brain implants similar to those in the new study, but to control robotic arms, rather than the patient’s own muscles. But never before has a patient been able to precisely move his hand using the same neural (神经的)signals that controlled his hand before his injury.After implanting the MEA in Bernini’s brain, researchers connected it to a computer. Bernini trained the system to connect patterns of neural signals to specific movements by repeatedly mirroring the movements of an imaginary hand on a computer screen. Soon, Bernini could hold large objects like glasses and lift small objects like straws. He could also move each finger on his own just by thinking about it, which previous systems had never achieved. And it was absolutely an amazing moment.32. How is Bernini now?A. He does well in playing the guitar.B. He has recovered from his neck injury.C. His thoughts can control his hand movements.D. His shoulder muscles guide his hand movement.33. What did researchers want to do through brain implants in the past?A. Control the patients’ hands.B. Guide robots to help patients.C. Help patients’ own muscles contract.D. Repair patients’ injured neural signals.34. What’s the breakthrough in Bernini’s case, compared with previous studies?A. He can hold and lift objects.B. He can move each finger independently.C. He can recognize his specific movements.D. He can use neural signals for hand moving.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Moving Hands by Contracting Muscles.B. Using New Systems for Muscle Injuries.C. Sending Neural Signals by Wires.D. Linking thoughts to Movements.四川省绵阳市2019-2020学年高二英语下学期期末教学质量测试试题第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Officials have said the a nimals are destroying trees and have to move on.These unwanted guests at Sy dney’s Royal Botanic Gardens l ook like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there a re about 11,000 of them living in the harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees, they no w believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Bran ches have been breaking under the weight of these furry inva ders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordina ry garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flyi ng foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb the m is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by ru bbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is to have a ser ies of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’v e found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens a nd go somewhere else,” said Tim.The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at ni ght using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sy dney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can b e uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem.4.Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes?A. Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants.B. Because they are polluting the city.C. Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.D. Because the gardens are important public places.5.What are people doing to get rid of the flying foxes?A. Shooting them.B. Making loud noises.C. Shaking the trees hard.D.

Some other areas will have to deal with the bats.CRace walking shares many fitness benefits with running, rese arch shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s kn ees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot r emain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jacl yn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Sale m State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pac e of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they w ould burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race walking does not pound the body as much as r unning does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, ru nners hit the ground with as much as four times their body wei ght per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with run ning, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walk ers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stre ss on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such inj uries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consu lt a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.8. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are good at swinging their legs.9. What advantage does race walking have over running?A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.B. It’s less challenging physically.C. It’s more effective in body building.D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.10 What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A. Getting experts’ opinions.B. Having a medical checkup.C. Hiring an experienced coach.D. Doing regular exercises.11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race w alking?A. Skeptical.B. Objective.C. Tolerant.D. Conservative.DReturning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both , and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do . And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transf ormative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the old er I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s a ll about the present. It’s about the now and what one contribut es to the now, because reading is a give and take between au thor and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Pari s. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ram ble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cort azar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And b ecause Cortazar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to m e as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and neces sary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a rea der can pay them. The best books are the ones that open furt her as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow a nd read and reread in order to better understand your friends.12. Why does the author like rereading?A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.B. It’s a window to a whole new world.C. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.D. It extends the understanding of oneself.13. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feas!?A. It’s a brief account of a trip.B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.C. It’s a record of a historic event.D. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.14. What does the underlined word ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer to?A. DebtB. Reward.C. Allowance.D. Face value.15. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He loves poetry.B. He’s an editor.C. He’s very ambitious.D. He teaches reading.第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5）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。

Jerome Karie was in his first year of doctoral work, Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate(大学本科生), and they were laboratory partners. However, they didn't get along well at first.Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past, “I walked into the physical chemistry laboratory and there's a young man in the desk next to mine with his equipment all set up running his experiment. I don't think I was very polite about my question.I asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up. He didn't likethat. So we didn't talk to each other for a while.Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested in chemistry. They married in 1942. By 1946, both of the Karies had earned doctorates in physical chemistry, and, after a period of time at the University of Chicago working on the Manhattan Project, moved to Washington DC to join the US Naval Research Laboratory.Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography(晶体学): Jerome focused on developing equations(方程式) that could determine how atoms(原子) were arranged inside complex molecules, while Isabella ran practical experiments to test how well the equations worked. Working together, they created what is now called the direct method for determining molecular structures(分子结构), which has allowed scientists to effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further study.Jerome Karie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1985. Although he was disappointed that the Nobel committee had ignored Isabella's contribution to that work, she was unfazed. At that point, she had already won more awards and prize money for her experimental work than he had.24．What did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karie?A．She blamed him for his being late. B．She set up all his equipment for him. C．She asked him a question impolitely. D．She observed his experiment silently. 25．What made Jerome Karie and Isabella Lugoski become connected?A．Their common interest in chemistry. B．Their wonderful marriage since 1940. C．Their pleasant first talk in a laboratory. D．Their successful cooperation in courses.26．What is paragraph 4 mainly intended to show?A．The Karies' encouraging further study. B．The Karies' good teamwork in science.C．How the Karies worked with others. D．Why the Karies won the Nobel Prize. 27．Which of the following best explains “unfazed" underlined in the last paragraph?A．Generous. B．Touched. C．Shocked. D．Calm.CA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure （安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers’ lack of fre edom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.28．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．Kids know how to live independently. B．Some parents allow their kids no freedom.C．It benefits teenagers to have freedom. D．Kids have a dull routine everyday29．In the opinion of the author, ___________.A．parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends B．good friendships between kids harm their school workC．it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphoneD．kids should focus on the school work30．How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?A．Disappointed B．Lucky C．Angry D．Calm31．The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________. A．keep her father from reading her dairy B．prevent her mother entering her roomC．Protect herself from any harm D．Stop thieves from going inDWhen going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people don’t make these choices consciously though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.There’s no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don’t get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty? Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends? Once youhave a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn’t you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyally sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I’m sorry, but I can’t have you in my life anymore." But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it’s often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it is also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently. 32．When experiencing major life changes, people may ________.A．join a new social community B．influence their friends around C．choose their friendships purposely D．have their people environment changed 33．What can be concluded from Paragraph 3 in the passage?A．Everyone has at least one friend.B．Friendship still exists though there’s less connection.C．It is unnecessary to make new friends.D．You ought to treat your old and new friend equally.34．What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends?A．Never betray your close friends whatever happens.B．Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C．Stick by your friends even though they do harm lo you.D．Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.35．How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?A．We should accept what we are told to do. B．We should stay silent and be in favor of it.C．We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong. D．We should give our bosscourage to continue.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。
