Will Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming?For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century. 36 Since then, British TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4, and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite and cable.A Slow DeclineWhile the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has been slow and has been going on for the past decade. 37 Streaming services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and blockbuster movies.Changing Viewing HabitsIn the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 30 minutes and 26 minutes per day respectively. 38Still the King39 For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming service.Average viewing time for all traditional TV channels continues to decline though, despite much larger quantities of original content being produced by these organisations. 40 While the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.A. This has been the trend for the last couple of decades.B. The original content has included massively popular shows.C. Suddenly, we were able to see what was going on, not just listen along.D. The traditional TV channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.E. Most major TV channels have their own catch up streaming service.Fe While demand for streaming services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall. G. Today, we have the power to watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）36—40 CGAFB山东省潍坊市2021届高三上学期期中考试英语试题第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Call2Recycle agreed to assist and provided recycling bins for free,which were placed in schools,libraries,and other public places.Nihal’s organization now operates across the U.S.and is expanding to other countries including Canada, Switzerland,and India.“Earth gives us so much—oxygen,food,water—everything!So it’s important that we give something back when we can,”says Nihal.The Barron Prize was founded in2001by author T.A.Barron.“Nothing is more inspiring than stories about heroic people who have truly made a difference to the world,”says T.A.Barron.“And we need our heroes today more than ever.Not celebrities,but heroes—people whose character can inspire us all.That is the purpose of the Barron Prize:to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so that their stories will inspire others.”4.What does Recycle My Battery intend to do?A.Protect the earth from used batteries.B.Promote used batteries across the globe.C.Make money by collecting used batteries.D.Stop people throwing used batteries away.5.What does the underlined word“Undeterred”in Paragraph3probably mean?A.Undiscouraged.B.Unprepared.C.Unsurprised.D.Uninterested.6.How did Call2Recycle help Nihal’s organization?A.By making it go global.B.By offering free recycling bins.C.By providing financial support.D.By buying more used batteries.7.What is the text mainly about?A.The importance of recycling batteries.B.The impact of batteries on the environment.C.The achievements of the Barron Prize winners.D.The inspiring story of a young environmentalist.CMore than50million people in Asia,Africa,the Middle East and elsewhere follow pastoralism(游牧)as a way oflife.The practice has survived for so long because it is designed to change with the environment.Pastoralists move with animals to find new lands and water,leaving behind eaten plants to regrow.Mongolia is well known for its pastoralism.Agvaantogtokh and his family are herders（牧民）.On horseback,he rides with nearly a thousand sheep and goats to help them find water.Sometimes,he and his wife,Nurmaa,stop to help struggling young ones,weak after a difficult winter.For families like Agvaantogtokh’s,pastoralism is more than a profession.It is a cultural identity that connects generations.At its heart is the human connection to animals.While they consider the animals as their property,they also see them as living beings working alongside them.Researchers say herders believe in“animal agency”.Agvaantogtokh lets his animals choose the food they eat and where they find water.To him,restricting an animal’s movement and asking it to eat the same thing each day is like putting a person in prison.In Mongolia,weather extremes are a part of life.When Agvaantogtokh thinks about climate change,he is concerned about humans and animals.Continuous dry and warm weather affects Mongolia.Since1940,the government says,average temperatures have risen2.2degrees Celsius.To keep their practice alive,pastoralists seek ways to modernize.In Mongolia,Lkhaebum recently began using a small vehicle to more easily search for horses. The family uses electricity and has other technologies including a TV and a washing machine.They also use a cellphone to follow the weather and access social media where herders share information.One of the biggest threats to pastoralism comes from within.Nurmaa and Agvaantogtokh’s18-year-old daughter studies medicine.Their son spoke about becoming a herder when he was a child,but not anymore.“I won’t regret anything if my child won’t be a herder,”Nurmaa said.“I would like them to do what they desire to do.”8.What contributes to the survival of pastoralism?A.Huge pastoralist populations.B.Adaptation to the environment.C.Herders’desire to travel to new places.D.Slow development of modernization.9.What does pastoralism mean to Agvaantogtokh?A.The distinct identity of animals.B.A poorly-paid profession.C.An out-of-date lifestyle.D.The bond between man and animals.10.What does“animal agency”in Paragraph4refer to?A.Animals’living in cages.B.Animals’eating the same thing.C.Animals’struggling in shelters.D.Animals’moving around freely.11.What is a big challenge for pastoralism?A.Modern technology.B.No government support.C.Young people’s disinterest in it.ck of information exchange.DDr Paul King at Texas Christian University has been an influential scholar in the field of communication studies for30years.I spoke to King about his research into“state anxiety in listening performance”.Most of us believe that anxiety impacts only the person giving the speech or presentation.Dr King has discovered that audience members feel anxiety,too.King says that listening is a tiring activity because the learner is continually adding material to beremembered-retrieved-later.This is what he means by“cognitive backlog(认知积压)”.Put simply,the longer the task or the more information that is delivered,the greater the cognitive load.According to King,listening to a five-minute presentation produces a relatively small amount of cognitive backlog;an18-minute presentation produces a little more, while a60-minute presentation produces so much backlog that you risk seriously upsetting your audience unless you create a very engaging presentation with“soft breaks”—stories,videos,demonstrations,or other speakers.The longer the presentation,the more the listener has to organize,comprehend,and remember.The burden increases along with a listener’s anxiety.They become increasingly frustrated,even angry.King says that the current research into memory processing suggests that it’s better to study content on two or three occasions for a short period of time instead of spending an entire evening cramming(填鸭式学习).King applies the results to his graduate class on research methods.If given a choice,most graduate students would rather attend a single three-hour class than three50-minute classes.When King taught his class once a week,he found that the students returned for the next class having lost most of the information they had learned the prior week. King discovered the“better practice”was to schedule the same content on three separate occasions,such as Monday, Wednesday,and Friday.King said that despite objections,when he taught the class on three occasions his students scored better and exhibited a better memory of the complex material.12.What does Dr Paul King say about“cognitive backlog”?A.It should be prevented from happening.B.It is affected by the number of listeners.C.It changes with the length of a presentation.D.It produces a negative effect on mental health.13.What is the function of“soft breaks”?A.To case listeners’anxiety.B.To show the talents of speakers.C.To add topics to the presentation.D.To make the presentation longer.14.What does Dr Paul King’s new practice focus on?A.Exploring complex materials.pleting a single task at a time.C.Breaking up the whole into parts.D.Grouping students by their levels.15.What can we learn about Dr Paul King’s new class schedule?A.It was welcomed by students.B.It turned out to be a success.C.It made no difference indeed.D.It still had room for improvement.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
山东省2021-2022学年高三第二次学业质量联合检测英语试题
2022届高三第二次学业质量联合检测英语第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AThings to Do with Kids in San FranciscoExploratoriumThe Exploratorium is a 21st-century learning lab. It takes the best part of a hands-on children's museum and mixes it with real science, exploration, and adventure. It is a fun and interesting place or children and adults alike. I would not recommend the Exploratorium for children under age 5.Palace of Fine ArtsThe Palace of Fine Arts is a great place to visit when the weather is nice. The gardens are beautiful and it's fun to walk around and explore. A lot of special events seem to be held here including weddings. The kids really enjoy walking around and taking pictures.San Francisco Cable CarsNo trip to San Francisco would be complete without a ride on a cable car. The best line to pick up is the Hyde line because it is the longest. The best time to go is first thing in the morning because the lines can be long, Another tip is to pick it up mid-line. Or ride another two lines where they won't be as crowded.Boudin Museum Bakery TourThe Boudin Museum Bakery Tour cannot be missed. You may be blown away by the enthusiasm and knowledge of your tour guide, the quality of the museum, hands-on and photography friendly exhibits, and the rich San Francisco history that is a part of Boudin Bakery. Don't miss taking the test to find out what kind of bread you are. It sounds silly but trust me, you'll want to take the quick quiz.1.Which of the following can give kids hands-on science experience?A. Palace of Fine Arts.B. Exploratorium.C. Boudin Museum Bakery Tour.D. San Francisco Cable Cars.2. What do we know about San Francisco Cable Cars?A. Few people like to ride them.B. Their round trips take a short time.C. They are running on three lines.D. They often break down on the way.3. What can visitors do on their Boudin Museum Bakery Tour?A. Learn to be a guide.B. Hold special events.C. Walk around a garden.D. Take an interesting test.BAnimal rescuer and cinematographer Douglas Thorn’s passion for animals began when he was a little kid. "I started rescuing orphaned baby animals, "Thorn says. "And I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer.When Thron grew up, he did just that, working for shows like Discovery Channels Shark Week, filming the great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. But Thron says it was the Paradise Fire in California in 2018 that "pushed" him to do animal rescue activism work, putting his aerial cinematography skills to good use.At the time, Thron was filming a man who was rescuing cats after the fire using an infrared(红外线) hand-held camera. The camera uses heat to detect the animals at night Thron and the man talked about how incredible it would be to put one on a drone(无人机) to detect animals more easily. "The animal's body temperature will glow on the screen and you can pick them out among the bricks and stones, "explains Thron.The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog in the Bahamas after a category-5 hurricane hit, which wiped out hundreds of houses. Thron tested out putting an infrared scope on a drone and found the dog."The drone really shaves off critical time so that the really badly hurt animals are able to be rescued, "Thron says. Once the scope picks up the "heat signature of an animal", Thron turns a spotlight on the animal and zooms in on it, so he and the rescue crews can go and save the animal.Thron has basically been "going non-stop since then". His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heart-warming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana in 2020 and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia in 2020.4. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Researching rare animals B Rescuing homeless animals.C. Becoming a disaster rescuerD. Working as a cinematographer.5. What's Thron's purpose for attaching the infrared camera to the drone?A. To locate an animal quicklyB. To shoot more inviting photos.C. To take animals' body temperature.D. To give warnings of dangers timely.6. What's the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. The difficulties Thron has to overcome.B. The skills Thron will need to operate the drone.C. The way Thron uses the drone to rescue animals.D. The reason why Thron chooses his present job.7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Thron?A. Modest.B. Creative.C. Generous.D. Outgoing.CLike many parents working from home while their kids are learning remotely, we've been looking for creative ways to connect with our children—and nowhere has this been truer than in the kitchen.Kitchen science, as Liz Heinecke, author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids calls it doesn't require any fancy equipment or ingredients (配料)—and, best of all in the era of remote education, we can combine science lessons with everyday meal preparations. By helping with cooking, kids can engage in lively, project-based lessons. Actually, even the easiest recipes include both simple and complex scientific concepts.Kitchen science isn't just about what we' re cooking: it's also about understanding why It's worth taking the time to figure out how ingredients and temperature interact and why substances behave the way they do. Everyone involved will learn something.For example, we all know oil and water don't mix easily, but we can change this by adding mustard(芥末) to the oil and water to make a salad dressing. This is an opportunity to teach kids about the science of emulsions (乳化).Adding lemon juice to a vegetable stops that vegetable from turning brown: cabbage changes color when you add vinegar to it. Both of those phenomena are the result of chemical reactions. In the classroom, it can be hard to see how scientific concepts will apply outside the lab. But when kids see these concepts play out in the real world, that sparks curiosity and learning."Every time you step into your kitchen to cook, you put science to work. In fact, physics and chemistry come into play whenever you steam, bake, freeze or boil. Thus, every time you step into the kitchen, it's an opportunity for everyone to learn more about science, "Liz Heinecke said.8. What are parents expected to do in the kitchen?A. Ask kids to cook a meal on their ownB. Do science experiments in the kitchen.C. Pay attention to cooking ingredients.D. Combine scientific concepts with recipes.9. What does the fourth paragraph indicate?A. Raw materials are important in the kitchen.B. Procedures to cook dinner must be followed.C. Cooking can inspire kids' interest in studying science.D. Family education is more important than school education.10. What can we learn from Liz Heinecke's words?A. Cooking can benefit both kids and parents.B. Parents need to master different cooking skills.C. Lab experiments can be repeated at home.D. Schools should offer cooking courses.11. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?A. To practice healthy eating habits.B. To learn food science out of the labC. To turn meal preparations into family learning.D. To teach kids some recipes for cooking in the kitchen.DWe've all been there, trying our best to do our bit to help save the planet, when a really essential item that you had to order online arrives in such an unbelievable amount of packaging that it makes you feel like it's an unprepared game of passing the parcel.It's made even worse by the fact that some of the packaging can't be recycled. In fact, 10 million tonnes of packaging waste are produced in the UK every year. A lot of this ends up in landfill, two-thirds of which could have instead been recovered.The good news, however, is that how packaging waste is managed is in for a BIG shake-up in line with the "polluter pays principle". By placing the main point of duty to pay on brand owners, they will be encouraged to choose more sustainable packaging options which are recyclable and reusable as much as possible. Otherwise, they will have to pay higher fees.This is a system known as Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR)—meaning that those who have control over packaging design decisions will be encouraged to do the right thing for the planet at the beginning and consider whathappens at the end of the packaging’s life from the start.What this means is that instead of local authorities picking up the bill for household waste management, companies will have instead to pay for managing your household packaging waste as well as the form businesses, and they will be met with the associated little costs too.And, as an added bonus, the new EPR laws on packaging will also mean that producers are required to put clar mandatory (强制性的) labelling on packaging, for example, this could be “RECYCLE” or “DO NOT RECYCLE”. Of course, we hope that the “DO NOT RECYCLE” category labelling is the minority. It is aimed that by 2030, 78% of packaging will be recycled in the UK.12. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. Two-thirds of packaging waste is recycled.B. Over-packaging is often the case in life.C. The quality of goods cannot be guaranteed.D. Online shopping is getting less popular.13. Who will be responsible for paying packaging waste costs according to the law?A. Designers.B. Producers.C. Customers.D. Local authorities.14. What can the EPR laws lead the brand owners to do?A. Pay higher taxes and recycle the packaging waste.B. Put clear labelling on packaging and promote sales.C. Cut packaging waste and improve packaging recycling.D. Follow the packaging design trend and to right things.15. What can be learned about the items ordered online in the future?A. Their labelling on packaging will be simple and generous.B. The majority of their packaging needn’t be recycl ed.C. They will be of high quality and inexpensive.D. They’ll arrive in the right amount of recyclable packaging.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Family.BWhen the disease first hit, nursing homes across the United States tried to proteet the neighbors. They shuttheir doors and banned visitors, leaving seniors separated from the outside world.16-year-old Hita Gupta thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors and remind them of how much they're loved, she began delivering care packages to nursing homes in her town of Paoli, Pennsylvania.“When I received a call from the nursing home, I knew I needed to remind them that they aren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that," Hita said.The teenager's efforts are a part of her non-profit organization Brighten A Day, which she organized in 2018to "spread joy to seniors, children in the hospital, and frontline workers."With the help of her 10-year-old brother, Divit Gupta, she has sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages - complete with puzzles, coloring books, and colored pencils - to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada.“The response has been so incredible," Hita said. “A lot of the seniors cry when they open the packages and read our notes. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."Many of the notes are written by Brighten A Day volunteers, who also make videos where they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. The pair and their volunteers call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.“No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas and delivering them to us across the country, but Hita found a way. Seniors do not feel forgotten or alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and gratitude knowing that someone out there is caring for them," a volunteer said.“What we do is to give hope and reminders that there were people out there that truly cared about them and their wellbeing," Hita said. "Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."4. How did the seniors in nursing homes feel when visitors were not allowed in?A. Quiet.B. Delighted.C. Comfortable.D. Lonely.5. What is the main aim of Hita's Brighten A Day project?A. To raise more money for nursing homes.B. To deliver love to seniors at nursing homes.C. To teach seniors to communicate effectively.D. To promote the development of the nursing industry.6. What can we learm about the Brighten A Day project?A. It offers its volunteers the special packages.B. It encourages seniors to use fewer smart devices.C. It is supported by volunteers across the country.D. It was started during the disease first hitting this area.7. Which of the following words can best describe Hita Gupta?A. Caring.B. Curious.C. Faithful.D. Professional.CWhat makes you happy? You may want to answer that spending time with your family, taking a vacation or driving a new sports car makes you happy but the key to happiness may be altruism(利他行为).Helping others may actually increase your happiness.According to Time Magazine, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested that true happiness is found in helping others and now there is scientific research from a team of psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia to prove it.The researchers led by Liudmila Titova and Kennon Sheldon looked at whether pursuing happiness for others will actually make people happier. They found that it does.Two experiments were conducted by the team, according to Psychology Today. In the first experiment there searchers asked participants to recall a time that they tried to make themselves or another person happy. They were asked to write about the event and rate how happy it made them feel.In the second experiment, they were asked to remember a time they tried to make someone else happy and also write about how it made them feel. This experiment elicited a higher rate of happiness than the first."The results of these studies extend findings from previous research by showing that people gain more personal happiness from attempts to make other people happy- an approach that might seem unbelievable for a lot of people at first," researchers wrote in the study.But how does the research translate into real life? According to Time Magazine, find your passion. Give it to people or causes that move you and share your values. Whatever you do, the key is to finding an approach that works for you and let it come naturally. Remember that improving happiness is a benefit of helping others and not the goal.8. What makes people happy according to the first paragraph?A. Driving a new sports car.B. Travelling during a vacation.C. Offering generosity to others.D. Spending time with their family.9. How did the researchers prove their findings?A. By using examples.B. By making experiments.C. By clarifying a concept.D. By demonstrating facts.10. What does the underlined word "elicit" mean in paragraph 5?A. Produce.B. Improve.C. Display.D. Discover.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Pursuing Happiness for Others CountsB. Sharing Your Values Will Make SenseC. Improving Happiness Benefits You MuchD. Helping Others Can Improve HappinessDA. green sea turtle(海龟)struggled to move in the cold water off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.7hißwater was normally warm, but an extreme cold front from the Arctic swept the area, dropping the airf emiperature below freezing. The cold-blooded sea turtle became almost frozen: Its body stopped moving, and it couldn't get a breath of air. Without help, these sea turtles would have died underwater.A conservation group on South Padre Island was ready to help. On the first day of the storm, staff and volunteers from Sea Turtle, Inc., headed out on boats to rescue the sea turtles. They loaded them onto trucks and transported them to the organization's rescue center.The group usually rescued only about a hundred turtles on days when the weather briefly got cold. But this February storm was different: By the second day, volunteers had already pulled more than 600 frozen sea turtles from the water.Over the next five days, new sea turtles arrived during the daytime. At night, the volunteers wore headbands with flashlights to provide medical care in the dark building. They tried to keep the sea turtles clean while they were out of the water.Eight days after the storm began, the water was finally warm enough to release the sea turtles. About 30miles offshore, the boat stopped, and the workers put over 2,300 sea turtles back into the ocean.If the workers and volunteers hadn't rescued these sea turtles, none of them would have survived. “We were up all night, every night, and the release was exhausting, too," a volunteer said. "But it was worth it to watch those sea turtles go down the slides back where they belong."12. Why did the green sea turtles struggle to move in the water?A. They were about to sleep in winter.B. The water around was usually warm.C. They became trapped by fishing nets.D. A freezing cold front suddenly occurred.13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. What kind of care the sea turtles received.B. Why the volunteers went to the dark center.C. How the volunteers looked after the turtles.D. Whether it was necessary to keep turtles clean.14. What may be the direct result of the act of releasing?A. More sea turtles will be born in this area.B. Many sea turtles had died before releasing.C. The volunteers had a sense of achievement.D. A lot of green sea turtles were finally rescued.15. What does this text want to convey?A. We should live in harmony with nature.B. Great things may be done by mass efforts.C. Nature is a mirror reflecting human activities.D. It is crucial to improve the habitat of sea turtles.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

D．It saves you time for cooking.BPerhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by a millionaire adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.But it's all over now. Fenn's Treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website. “I don't know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote. “The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn't be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues(线索) would find it.Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place. "It was in thethick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago," Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.4．What contributed to the finding of the treasure?A．Fenn's announcement. B．A poem in Fenn's book.C．Fenn’s vivid description.D．A photo on Fenn's website.5．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Who Forrest Fenn was. B．Where Fenn hid the treasure.C．How the treasure hunt began. D．What Fenn did to find the treasure.6．What can we learn about "Fenn's Treasure”?A．It was in Yellowstone National Park.B．It was found by someone by chance.C．It was moved from one place to another.D．It was in Fenn's chosen resting place.7．What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Taking. B．Burying. C．Protecting. D．Acknowledging.CNot buying things can be difficult, even when you're determined not to. For many people, a no-buy year is simply a way of life because their financial situation leaves them no other choice. But for others—myself included—we have enough clothes, shoes, electronic devices, books, and so on. Yet, we continue to buy.If you're going to try a no-buy year, the first step is identifying why you're doing it. Is it to save money? Pay off debt? Have more money for experiences? To be more sustainable? Without a goal, failure is likely. I say this based on my experience.Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could afford the rental and good meals. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need. A month before we went, I realized I needed to do more.I decided that I wouldn't spend money going out socially. I eventually reached my goal.After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd maintained the stricter habits. There are many experiences I would love to have—concerts and music festivals are at the top of the list. Yet, I often buy little things—like $20 shoes instead of tickets to concerts. If I could forgo those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.I think the no-buy movement is something that would bring us some happiness. Still, it's difficult. Eventhough we're surrounded by things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are the “perfect” things for our immediate need.I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival at the end of the summer. To get there, I promise I won't spend money on the things I don't really need. Nowadays, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what your goals are and how about buying nothing—or at least buying a lot less—can help you reach them.8．Why did the author not continue her social activities?A．To pay off her debt. B．To accompany her sons.C．To realize her sons' goals. D．To save money for their vacation.9．What does the underlined word “forgo” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Quit. B．Afford.C．Maintain. D．Rent.10．What does the author think of the no-buy movement?A．It is beneficial but hard to carry out.B．It shows the true meaning of happiness.C．It finds fault with current spending habits.D．It gives way to big music festivals and musicals.11．What would the best title probably be?A．The No- Buy Movement Is PopularB．Could You Handle A No-Buy Year?C．Financial Situation Affects What We Can BuyD．Do What You Like Even If You May Meet TroubleDThe area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.12．What has happened to Taal Volcano?A．It attracts more and more visitors. B．It becomes quieter and quieter.C．It is covered with ash completely. D．It causes bad effects on the locals.13．What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?A．To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B．To save sacks for factories to use.C．To set up a factory for making bricks. D．To build communities for people from disasters. 14．What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?A．Companies are expected to donate money.B．Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.C．Batangas has been the most misfortune.D．Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.15．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B．Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.C．Disasters always hit the Philippines. D．The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

As we all know, in daily life, many people want to get in shape. If you happen to be one of them, where will you get started?Diet comes first. 16 Health experts have long noted the importance of physical activities.17 Physical activity burns calories-the more calories you consume, the easier it is to control or lose your weight. Besides, it helps to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease, stroke and even some kinds of cancer.Physical activity is also known to increase the release of endorphins （内啡肽）, which help people to reduce pain and feel more happy and peaceful as well. 18 Some experts believe it's the act of exercising itself. Others say it's the feeling one gets from having met an exercise goal. Either way, the two things work together when it comes to improving one's emotional health.So exactly how much exercise do you need to do to gain all of these great health effects? Different people, different ideas. Experts say it is easier than you think-one activity is better than none. 19To get the most from your exercise plan, you are advised to choose physical activities that you find fun. 20 What you really like, sometimes, outweighs what is popular among the public.A. It helps to guarantee that you can stay with the program.B. Keeping a balanced diet contributes a lot to your health.C. You can release some bad emotions by physical activities.D. Exercise is a good way for you to maintain physical health.E. So, if you are not doing anything, now is the time to get started.F. There is some debate about exactly what causes the release of them.G. However, diet alone won't do much good without an exercise plan.16—20 GDFEA山东省潍坊市2020-2021学年高三上学期期末试题英语试题第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “Peo ple are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-boundneighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.4．What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A．Remote. B．Wealthy.C．Primitive. D．Attractive.5．Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A．He preferred the simple and natural life. B．He could continue his language teaching. C．He could live together with his ancestors. D．He could meet more neighbors of his age.6．What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A．It is in danger of extinction. B．It is quickly changing over time.C．It is conservative but harmonious. D．It is being disturbed by the outside world. 7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The history of Mount Vernon. B．The humanity of Mount Vernon. C．The volunteers of Mount Vernon. D．The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.Andrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect Park Lake when he was frightened to see a mass of snakes. They turned out to be swamp eels(黄鳝) that had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline. After dumping the eels in the lake, the man walked away, explaining to bystanders that “I just want to save lives.”The illegal release became a curiosity on social media, but the dumping of exotic(外来的) animals in urban parks isn’t n ew. New Yorkers free thousands of non-native animals every year. “People like animals and they sometimes think they’re doing a good thing by letting them go,” said Jason Munshi-South, an urban ecologist at Fordham University. “Most will die. Some will beco me a problem, and then there’s no going back.”New York state and city officials say it’s too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. The eels eat almost anything including plants, insects, frogs, turtles and other fish. And they could prey(捕食) upon or compete with the park’s native species for however long they survive.There are no plans to eradicate the eels. Since they’re active at night and spend most of their time in the mud of lakes and rivers, spotting and removing them from the lake could be impossible. Officials say they will look for swamp eels during the agency’s next survey in thespring, but don’t expect them to make it through the winter. However, University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak said, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term effects.”8．Why did the man pour the eels into the lake?A．To challenge the law. B．To increase the local species.C．To keep the eels alive. D．To become a web celebrity.9．Why did the released eels become a concern?A．They might get caught once again.B．They might not adapt to the new environment.C．They might frighten the joggers by the lake.D．They might pose a threat to local species.10．What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Get rid of. B．Look after.C．Sell. D．Examine.11．What is the officials’ opinion about dealing with the problem?A．It is risky. B．It is tricky.C．It takes patience. D．It requires legal support.The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Greg g Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chattingabout how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort — we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12．What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A．It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B．It takes hundreds of years to break down.C．It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D．It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．A new study of PET. B．The breakdown of PET.C．The discovery of PETase. D．The functions of PETase.14．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team. B．Combining PETase and MHETase. C．Attacking the surface of the plastics. D．Talking about conducting experiments. 15．What can we infer from the text?A．PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.B．New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C．MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D．Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.二、七选五How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean itcan be recycled. 16．Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. 17．It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse.Use different materials. 18．Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.19．Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper wasteto deal with.Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEOof the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” 20．A．Try zero waste.B．Shop with that in mind, too.C．You d on’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present.D．In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials.E.When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling.F.Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing.G.Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies.三、完形填空Last month, Koch went to make breakfast and found a(n) 21 guest usinghis pool.

is blue．But it takes a strong person to smile when he or she has every reason to cry!Kiley，from Maryland，is an author，fashion model，motivational speaker and entrepreneur．Since 3 years old，her life has proven to be a journey of surgeries．She was forced to have two permanent ostomies(造口术)，causing her to have ostomy bags for the rest of her life．Carrying not one，but two ostomy bags is not something you would want anyone to go through especially your own child．As a single father，Jay is Kiley’s biggest advocate．When Kiley was 10 years old，she gave a special Father's Day gift to her father to express her gratitude，which was to dance with him at her talent show at schoo1．In the video，the little girl was smiling from ear to ear．They danced along the song．Overcomer of American Idol’s

from Kiley’s story?A．Healtll is money．B．Smile has power．C．Hard work pays off．D．Cherish the time．CPeople who play drums regularly for years differ from unmusical people in their brain structure and function．The results of a study by researchers from Bochum suggest that they have fewer，but thickcr fibers in the main connecting tract between the brain hemispheres(半球)．In addition，their motor brain areas are organized more efficiently．This is the conclusion drawn by a research team headed by ra．It was published in the journal Brain and Behavior，online on 4 December 2019．The researchers were interested in drummers because their movement control far surpasses that of untrained people．“Most people can only perform fine motor tasks with one hand and have problems playing different rhythms with both hands at the same time，”explains Lara．“Drummers can do things that are impossible for untrained people．”The team intended to gain new insights into the organization of complex motor processes in the brain by identifying the changes in the brain caused by this training．The researchers tested 20 professional drummers who have played their instrument for an average of 17 years and currently practice for more than ten hours per week．They examined them using various MRI imaging techniques that provide insights into the structure and function of the brain．They then compared the data with measurcments of 24 unmusical control subjects．Both groups had to play drums to test their abilities and were then examined in the MRI scanner．Drummers presented clear differences in the front part of the corpus callosum(胼胝体)responsible for motor planning．The data indicated that the drummers had fewer but thicker fibers in this imponant connecting tract．This allows musicians to exchange information between the hemispheres more quickly than the controls．Although drummers might be good at motor coordination，they are less active in motor tasks than thatof control subjects．This phenomenon indicates that a more efficient brain organization in the areas leads to less activation in professionals．8．Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A．Correspond with．B．Go beyond．C．Differ from．D．Fall behind．9．How did the team identify the changes in drummers’brain?A．By analyzing previous study．B．By organizing complex motor tasks．C．By testing their abilities and scanning the brains．D．By comparing amateur drummers and unmusical people．10．Which statement is true about the drummers?A．They are more active in motor tasks．B．They can play rhythms more quickly．C．They have better imagination and insights．D．They have more efficient brain organization．11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Playing drums changes the brain． B．Playing drums can be trained．C．Playing music makes you active．D．Playing music brings benefits．DVegan leather(纯素皮)，a cruelty-free and environment-friendly substitute for animal leather has long been the ultimate goal of sustainable fashion．Now，an alternative may be making the jump from the lab to cupboards，and its souse may surprise many people：the forest floor．Mycelium(菌体丝)，the fibrous roots of fungi(真菌)，is being made into durable clothes and bags with a lower carbon cost than animal’s skin or plastic，and it’s a material that won’t pile up in landfills．While products made from it aren’t available to buy yet，industry experts say the material has great potential to influence the market for animal and synthetic(合成的)leathers．And it has a unique look and feel．Leather production relies on skin from cattle and sheep，whose raising is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions．Leather processing also uses dangerous chemicals and generates large amounts of waste from treating raw skin．By contrast，fungi’s growth is effectively carbon neutral since they catch and store carbon that would otherwise be emitted or remain in the atmosphere，according to Nature．Pure and untreated fungi-1eather also breaks down easily．A number of companies are relying on consumer’s interest in a true fungi leather．Some 66％US respondents to a survey by the consulting firm Mckinscy&Company said they consider sustainability whenmaking a luxury purchase．California-based Mekino is perhaps closest to producing a commercially available product called Reishi．“It has the same quality and artistic value as animal leather and it will be launched in partnership with top brands in the coming months．”said Sophia Wang，the company’s co-founder．One of the challengs with fungi-leather is making a uniform “mat”with consistent thickness，appearance and color，according to Nature．It’s also necessary to balance durability with biodegradability(降解) ．12．What do we know about Mycelium?A．Its products are available now．B．It is likely to gain some market share．C．It has a high carbon emission．D．It accounts for alarge part of waste．13.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A．By making a comparison. B．By reasoning and arguning．C．By analyzing the reasearch process．D．By providing background information．14．What can we infer from Paragraph4?A．Most people like animal leather．B．Consumers are indifferent to Reishi．C．Sophia has confidence in Reishi．D．Mckino ranks among top brands．15．In which part of a newspaper can we see the passage? A．Opinion．B．Agriculture．C．Fashion．D．Lifestyle．第二节(共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The opportunity to see whales and dolphins swimming in their natural habitat is so much better than seeing these great mammals in zoos and aquariums. As your boat edgesout into the blue water, a group of dolphins come to greet you and swim around the boat, jumping playfully around you. In some places, tour companies even encourage tourists to go swimming with the dolphins. These intelligent mammals seem to enjoy our company and interact with us. But is it possible that this kind of human activity putting their survival at risk?A recent study has shown that the behavior of whales and dolphins changes greatly when they are close to boats. Interpreting the boats as a possible danger, they start to breathe more to breathe more quickly. The boats drive them away from the places where they feed and interrupt their routine of resting and taking care of their young. All of these factors could have a very negative effect on their general health. Another factor that should be taken into account is the effect of human attention on the animals. As they become more used to interacting with humans, they become less afraid of them. There have been several cases of tour boats running into dolphins or whales and causing their deaths. As dolphins live within close communities, events like these cause a lot of stress.Perhaps the best way to protect these animals is to reduce our interaction with them. This we could do by keeping a minimum distance between the animals and the boats, and by limiting the number of boats out on the water at one time. Most importantly, instead of interrupting these animals’ routines, we should try to adapt to them. In this way, we could learn to exist in harmony with these wild animals and ensure our continued co-existence on the planet that we shall share.28. Why are Eco-wildlife tours increasingly popular?A.
