Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become an integral part of our daily lives, allowing us to stay connected with friends and family, as well as share our thoughts and experiences with the world. However, this constant connectivity has also raised concerns about the negative impact it can have on our mental health.One of the main issues associated with social media is the pressure tomaintain a perfect online image. Many individuals feel the need to constantly post about their achievements, travels, and social life in order to receive likes and comments from their followers. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, especially among teenagers who are more vulnerable to these pressures. In addition, the constant exposure to idealized images of others can create unrealistic expectations and a sense of dissatisfaction with one’s own life.Another concern is the potential for social media to foster cyberbullying. With the anonymity provided by these platforms, individuals may feel emboldened to engage in harmful behavior towards others. This can have severe consequences for the victims, leading to anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts in some cases.Despite these challenges, social media can also have positive effects on our mental health. It allows us to maintain and strengthen relationships, seek support from others, and share our experiences with those who may be going through similar struggles. In fact, some studies have shown that social media can be a valuable tool for mental health support and community building.Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

From shopping online to communicating with friends, it has revolutionized the way we live and work. However, along with its many benefits, the Internet also brings about various challenges. One of the most significant challenges is the issue of cyberbullying.Cyberbullying refers to the use of electronic communication to harass, intimidate, or harm others. It can take many forms, such as sending threatening messages, spreading rumors, or posting cruel comments online. Unfortunately, cyberbullying is a growing problem, especially among young people. Many students suffer from cyberbullying, which can have severe consequences on their mental health and social well-being.The reasons for cyberbullying are complex. Some individuals may engage in cyberbullying due to personal insecurities or a desire for power and control. Others may do so out of boredom or to seek attention. Regardless of the reasons, cyberbullying is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly.To combat cyberbullying, schools and parents need to work together. Schools should implement strict anti-bullying policies and provide education programs to raise awareness about the issue. Parents should also keep an open line of communication with their children and monitor their online activities.

I walked along the sidewalk that borders the west side of Central Park this morning, wondering at its shape: Hexagonal(六边形的) paving stones underneath my feet were bordered by brickwork, with a tidy stone wall running alongside. Just past the wall lay the park itself, where delicate branches of leafless trees reached to the blue sky, and sparrows emerged from trees.The contrast between the straight-lined, orderly, man-made sidewalk and the complex diversity of nature just beyond its border made me think about the differences between natural creation and man’s creation.The world holds many examples of circles: the moon, grapes, drops of water and the center of flowers. Triangles(三角形) are readily evident, too. There are kitty cat noses and ears, mountain peaks and river deltas.But what about the most common shape in the man-made world, the rectangle(矩形)? I searched my brain for natural equals. Though I thought and thought, I came up with only two: teeth and salt crystals. That surprised me. Do we prefer rectangles simply because it’s easier to plan and build with blocks and straight lines? Or does it have something to do with the idea that humans tend to assume life is supposed to be linear? I don’t kno w.There are bent lines everywhere. As I look at the beauty of, a tree in winter, with its branches reaching skyward in a seemingly untidy but obviously planned pattern, I can apprehend something of what that means.Our world isn’t always tidy and predictable in the way that I want it to be. There are twists and turns in my life that I can’t foresee or predict. That doesn’t mean branching off in unexpected directions is bad or wrong. It means that when I find myself in each new place, I need to continue growing and reaching upward.1. How did the author feel about the sidewalk’s shape?A．disappointed. B．surprised. C．worried. D．pleased.2. What is the author’ s attitude to the various shapes mentioned in the text?A．negative. B．cautious. C．unconcerned. D．objective.3. Which can explain the underlined word “apprehend” in paragraph 5?A．create. B．imagine. C．understand. D．arrange.4. What may the author agree with?A．People should live in a complex world.B．Triangles are the most common in nature.C．Natural creation and man’s creation should be balanced.D．We should move forward in the face of uncertainties.3. I once met a young woman who had dreams of swimming for the U.S Olympic team. She had to get up every morning at 4 a.m. to swim for 3 hours before going to school. She did not party with her friends on Saturday night. She had to study and keep her grades up, just like everyone else.When I asked her what compelled her with such super-human ambition and sacrifice (牺牲). She simply said, “I do it for myself and the people I love. It’s love that gets me over the hurdles and sacrifices.”A reason or a purpose is a combination of “wants” and “don’t wants”. When people ask me what my reason for wanting to be rich is, it is a combination of deep em otional “wants” and “don’t wants”.I will list a few. First the “don’t wants”, for they create the “wants”. I don’t want to work all my life.I don’t want what my parents aspired for, which was job security and a big house. I don’t like being an employee. I hated it that my dad always missed my football games because he was so busy working on his career. I hated it when my dad worked hard all his life and the government took most of what he worked for at his death.Now the “wants”. I want to be free to tra vel the world and live in the lifestyle I love. I want to be young when I do this. I want control over my time and my life. I want money to work for me. Those are my deep-seated, emotional reasons. What are yours? If they are not strong enough, the reality of the road ahead may be greater than your reasons. I have lost money and been set back many times, but it was the deep emotional reasons that kept me standing up and going forward. I wanted to be free by age 40, but it took me until I was 47 with many learning experiences along the way.I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn’t, but it wasn’t hard either. But without a strong reason or purpose anything in life is hard.1. The passage is started by __________.A．giving an example B．explaining the causesC．pointing out similarities D．describing the differences2. The underlined word “compelled” in Para. 2 probably means __________.A．committed B．inspired C．forced D．combined3. We know from the passage that _________.A．the “wants” lead to the “don’t wants”B．the “wants” come from the “don’t wants”C．the “don’t wants” have little to do with the “wants”D．the “don’t wants” are more important than the “wants”4. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Para. 6?A．The reality is greater than the deep emotional reasons.B．With stronger emotional reasons, life must be much easier.C．With deeper emotional reasons, the road ahead is likely to be harder.D．In reality, we may meet many more obstacles without deeper emotional reasons.4. Climate change disproportionately affects the world’s most vulnerable people, particularly poor rural communities that depend on the land for their livelihoods and coastal populations throughout the tropics. We have already seen a chain of tough suffering that results from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires, and more.For remedies, advocates and politicians have tended to look toward cuts in fossil-fuel use or technologies to capture carbon before it enters the atmosphere—both of which are crucial. But this focus has overshadowed the most powerful and cost-efficient carbon capture technology in the world. Recent research confirms that forests are absolutely essential in reducing climate change, thanks to their ability to absorb and isolate carbon. In fact, natural climate solutions such as conservation and restoration of forests, along with improvements in land management, can help us achieve 37 percent of our climate target of limiting warming to a maximum of two degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, even though they currently receive only 2.5 percent of public climate financing.Forests’ power to store carbon dioxide is staggering: one tree can store an average of about 48 pounds in one year. Intact(完整的)forests could take in the CO2 emissions of some entire countries.For this reason, policymakers and business leaders must create and enforce policies to prevent deforestation, foster, reforestation of degraded land, and promote the sustainable management of standing fores ts in the fight against climate change. Protecting the world’s forests ensures they can keep performing essential functions such as producing oxygen, filtering water and supporting biodiversity. Not only does the world’s entire population depend on forests to provide clean air, clean water, oxygen and medicines, but 1.6 billion people also rely on them directly for their livelihoods.Unfortunately, a huge amount of forest continues to be converted into agricultural land to produce a handful of resource-intensive commodities - despite zero-deforestation commitments from companies and governments. So now is the time to increase forest protection and restoration. This action will also address a number of other pressing global issues. For example, in less developed, rural areas - especially in the tropics - community-based forest-management programs can forge pathways out of poverty. In the Peten region of Guatemala, for instance, community-managed forests boasted a near-zero deforestation rate from 2000 through 2013, as compared with 12 percent in nearby protected areas and buffer(缓冲)zones. These communities have built low-impact, sustainable forest-based businesses that have stimulated the economy of the region enough to fund the creation of local schools and health services. Their success is especially noticeable in a location where, outside these community-managed zones, deforestation rates have increased 20-fold.1. Which of the following statements about natural climate solutions is true according to the passage?A．They are the only effective strategies available to address the climate change.B．They pale in comparison with the reduction in fossil-fuel use or technologies.C．They can and should play a more important role in cutting carbon emissions.D．They manage to limit warming to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.2. The word “staggering” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to “_________”.A．documented B．incredibleC．unsteady D．negligible3. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?A．The policies to prevent deforestation have borne fruit.B．Developed countries are hit the hardest by climate change.C．Economic growth contributes a lot to reducing deforestation.D．Some governments fail to keep their promises to preserve forests.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Keeping forests undamaged can go a long way toward saving the planet.B．A high-tech climate fix is required to dramatically lessen global warming.C．Governments should work together with businesses to stop deforestation.D．Sustainable management of forests is crucial in powering regional development.5. Procrastination is the act of putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline.For many students, getting a task that is due in two months is a great thing. They have two months to slowly work on the task, making necessary improvements all along the way. 1 Some students plan to get to work on that task, but they never get around to it. Then, the due date rolls around and those students have to work all night to meet the deadline the next morning.2 Many jobs are lost because a worker did not get to the work in time. Deadlines are missed because a business plan wasn’t given enough consideration early on. Th ese things cost businesses large amounts of money in lost productivity.What is at the root of all of this procrastination? Some might say that it is laziness, but it is really just a problem with mindset (心态). 3It is difficult to stop this terrible habit. 4 By doing that, you would be changing the way your mind processes work. As a hypnotherapist (催眠师), I have used hypnosis to stop people from smoking and keep them away from stress. I find that it is an effective solution for procrastination as well.5 They think that it is just like the dull shows on television. That’s not what hypnosis is about, though. Hypnosis is really about changing a person’s basic senses so that their thinking is changed. This sounds like a perfect way to deal with procrastin ation, doesn’t it?6. I’ve had the good fortune of spending a lot of time working in London over the years. I’m a typical American, _________ to making eye contact and smiling when speaking to others. But until I spent time abroad, I was never quite _________ of what my facial expressions could convey.In the UK, I _________ not everyone made as much eye contact on the street as I did. And it was_________ to hold eye contact during a business meeting. My _________ smile could be considered as flirtatious (轻浮的). But my British colleagues _________: I was American. This forward attitude was not _________, but it was just my culture. _________, being expressively cheerful among those who keep _________ closer to their vest (背心 ) was accepted in the UK.____________, in other countries a cultural misunderstanding of smiling can have serious results. While it’s unlikely that a mistimed smile will ____________ you a contract (合同),____________ interactions can make it much more difficult to build effective business relationships.Different cultures ____________ smiling in different ways. In Russia, people do not smile because it ____________ that you are at best foolish or at worst, sneaky (卑劣的). Even in family photos, adults ____________ with stony faces. In Japan, smiling is a way to ____________ your feeling that you don’t want others to know. Australians have smiling cultures. While they might not have the same ____________ for giant white smiles as Americans, they smile more than our peers in Russia, Japan, Switzerland, and the UK.If Americans have to work abroad, my ____________ is to make sure you do some research. It is____________ to be yourself, but you should also learn about the culture you are going to visit. This will help you communicate ____________ and effectively with your peers.1.A．limited B．devoted C．addicted D．accustomed2.A．ashamed B．aware C．fond D．proud3.A．admitted B．imagined C．discovered D．declared4.A．special B．rare C．funny D．necessary 5.A．sweet B．artificial C．strange D．purposeful 6.A．expected B．analyzed C．predicted D．understood 7.A．friendly B．reliable C．traditional D．aggressive 8.A．Regretfully B．Luckily C．Eventually D．Frequently 9.A．sympathy B．attention C．feelings D．promises 10.A．However B．Instead C．Thus D．Otherwise 11.A．cost B．win C．save D．afford 12.A．brief B．vague C．awkward D．illegal 13.A．greet B．fancy C．explain D．avoid 14.A．indicates B．happens C．matters D．proves 15.A．appear B．leave C．hesitate D．observe 16.A．stress B．hide C．share D．assess 17.A．desire B．gift C．reason D．reputation 18.A．chance B．task C．challenge D．advice19.A．possible B．practical C．important D．simple20.A．secretly B．sensitively C．gratefully D．temporarily7. 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us．Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing．My mother, however, would only be satisfied withblack marks．None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout （辍学者）．She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults．Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bringup my three children．I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world．【1】From the passage we can learn that the writer's mother was____．A．not generous at allB．very cruel to her childrenC．very mean with money mattersD．very strict with her children【2】Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A．Eating differently from other kids．B．Letting mother know where they were．C．Going to bed early and getting up early．D．Wearing clean clothes made by mother．【3】It can be inferred from the passage that____．A．the writer's family lived a miserable lifeB．all the other kids studied better than the writerC．Mother was punished for breaking the Labor LawD．the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studies【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The writer is very thankful to her mother．B．The writer has a deep hatred for her mother．C．Mother practiced economy in running her home．D．The writer is strict with her children when bringing them up．【5】The passage was written in a way of tone．A．humorous B．hateful C．ridiculous D．impatient2.The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color．If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it．Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品）should never be packed in brown．These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology．Some of our preferences are clearly psychological．Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement．Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people'smind．People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure．Red is exciting．Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color．Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars．【1】The passage tells us that salesmen have____ ．A．tried colors on blind peopleB．found out that colors affect salesC．developed a special subject of color psychologyD．discovered the relationship between color and psychology【2】It can be inferred from the passage that__ _．A．blind people cannot sense color differencesB．foods sell well in green or blue wrappingsC．w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mindD．a bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red【3】The most effective color in the passage for warning people is____．A．red B．dark blue C．green D．bright yellow【4】If someone is in an angry mood, which color is better for him to become quiet?A．Red．B．Dark blue．C．Brown．D．Bright yellow【5】Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A．Colors and FeelingsB．Colors and SalesC．The Blind and ColorsD．Preferences for Colors六、短文改错短文改错At Christmas Eve, Jim went with his father to choose a Christmas tree.

We have a small number of paid staff，just twenty-three.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation，which I founded in 2003.Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers—all devoted to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years，these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information，free of charge and free of advertising.But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a common cause：Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. Tha t’s our commitment.Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly，you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet.

We are committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide，by taking on new volunteer s，and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.Wikipedia is different. It’s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书) in history，written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school，we don’t believe advertising should have a place inWikipedia.

Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the Europeanmainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.51. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?A. Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stoneB. A copper knife and two gold earrings.C. Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.D. some chicken and grains.52. The man buried in the grave might be ______ at that time.A. A poor manB. a kind-hearted manC. a rich manD. an ordinary man53. Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge" ?A. He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.C. He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction ofStonehenge.D. All of the above.54. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. How Stonehenge was built.B. Building Stonehenge was hard.C. Stonehenge was made of big stones.D. It is a mystery how Stonehenge was built.55. We can infer that _______ .A. how Stonehenge was builtB. the King of Stonehenge was from FranceC. Stonehenge was built through several agesD. Stonehenge was built because of warCTHREATS TOOUR NATIONAL TREASURESJ: journalist X: Prof XuJ: People have always had interests in the past. Professor Xu, what are the most important dangers to our archaeological treasures?X: They get damaged or lost. It's a matter of education. People fail to take the right steps when something is found. Fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made.J: What does that knowledge consist of ?X: Well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. That is to make sure that no further damage will be done.J: Does it still happen that people do not report things they find?X: Yes, indeed. They doubt whether it is necessary to do so. It sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. They are afraid that they would make scientists come for nothing.J: Are there other reasons why people don't report their finds?X: Oh, yes. People are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spendmany weeks or months digging around at it. That would result in farmers missing the right opportunity to plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. They don't realize that they should not weigh their own business interests against our national history.J: If it is so important to dig things up and collect them, then why are archaeologists worried that other people dig up artifacts and give them to museums or add them to their own private archaeological collections?X: Archaeology is a professional discipline. Years of training and experience are needed. It is not just about finding things and digging them up. The field work must be done very carefully. Of every find there needs to be a written record, to which a photograph must be added. The records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. The outdoor work is followed by work in the lab, cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. Finally, when all is done, an analysis must be written and published in a magazine or a book.J: Are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhaps?X: Unfortunately there are treasure hunters: people search for valuable objects, especially jewellery and gold. They are the worst. History does not need to fear nature very much. What has been buried has often been buried well. It is often human digging that causes the loss of valuable materials. It may seem a contradiction, but leaving things as they are would often be the best way of keeping things for the generations to come.56. The interview is probably a conversation betweenA. Mr Xu and his wifeB. a student and a teacherC. a teacher and a newspaper reporterD. a professor and a farmer57. According to Professor Xu, there are ______ why people do not report finds.A. no reasonsB. certain threatsC. few dangersD. several reasons58. The reason why some people do not inform the police about archaeological finds is that ______ .A. they are afraid of the policeB. the government has failed to inform the publicC. they think working archaeologists will cause troubleD. they don't have the years of training and experience that are needed59. For most artifacts ______ can quite easily see whether they are valuable or not.A. farmersB. the policeC. construction workersD. local experts60. In the opinion of Professor Xu, the greatest danger to our archaeological treasures are ______ .A. natural disastersB. farmers and construction workersC. scientistsD. treasure hunters第二卷第一节单词拼写(每小题1分，满分10分)1.

陕西省西安市部分学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题

陕西省西安市部分学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The National Football Museum has the world’s largest public collection of football objects and archives (档案), which is known as the Football Heritage Collection. In 2013 it was recognised as an official Designated Collection by Arts Council England and described as “of outstanding importance and value”. There are currently over 40,000 items within the collection, which continues to grow as we acquire new objects to preserve and help us share stories about football. Below provides a brief summary of the individual collections that contribute to the Football Heritage Collection.The FIFA — Langton CollectionThe finest single collection of football in the world was collected by Harry Langton, a London journalist with a passion for the game. The vast collection includes artwork, toys and games and playing equipment, and also houses a number of objects relating to women’s football.The Football League CollectionThis collection reflects all aspects of the history and development of the world’s oldestprofessional league, founded in 1888. Handbooks, attendance records, programmes and a large range of books provide an invaluable research tool for the museum.The People’s CollectionThis rich and developing collection features objects donated to us by members of thepublic, footballers (and their families) and other people related to the game. The 6,000-strong collection features all kinds of items.Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End CollectionsThe official collection from Preston North End contains over 1,000 objects and celebratesone of the most famous clubs in the history of the game, and the team that play at the oldest football league ground in the world.1．What do we know about the Football Heritage Collection?A．It was originally founded in 2013.B．It has no more than 40,000 objects.C．It is a collection of football items.D．It helps us share basketball stories.2．Which collection displays objects about women’s football?A．The People’s Collection.B．Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End Collections.C．The Football L eague Collection.D．The FIFA — Langton Collection.3．Where is the text probably from?A．A research paper.B．A museum guide.C．A campus poster.D．A film review.For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge — but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on.While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery.The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.”In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.”In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one.4．What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line?A．She fell down all of a sudden.B．She was far behind others.C．She felt herself struggling.D．She was interrupted by Avery.5．How did Avery react to the accident?A．She helped Rich run to the finish line.B．She tried to call for help at once.C．She ran the rest in place of Rich.D．She shouted encouraging words to Rich.6．How did Rich feel about Avery’s response?A．Doubtful.B．Content.C．Concerned.D．Expected.7．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon DreamB．A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her DreamC．A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By MistakeD．A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her RaceHealth organizations such as the UK’s national health services recommend that adults take 10 micrograms, or 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D every day, while the National Institutes of Health advise that most adults take 600 IU, with both bodies cautioning against taking more than 4,000 IU per day. Having too much vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium (钙) in the blood, leading to symptoms such as nausea and kidney stones.But Patrick J. LaRiccia at the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues recently found that a daily dose (一剂) of 5,000 IU may reduce the risk of influenza-like symptoms. They wondered whether this higher-than-recommended dosage may also have other positive effects.So the team asked 196 adults to take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 every day for about nine months. The adults, aged 47 on average, were aware of the dose they were having. The researchers also analyzed the data of more than 1,900 people who weren’t given the 5,000 IUdaily dose of vitamin D．However, they were free to take vitamin D supplements if they wished. Towards the end of the study, across this group, the average reported dose was 1,318 IU and the average age was 50.Over 10 months, those on the 5,000 IU dose had a lower risk of being hospitalized due to any cause, and they had to visit the emergency room or be admitted to intensive care less than people in the other group. No participants reported side effects.However, LaRiccia says the team can’t rule out the age difference as a possible cause of these results, with those in the high-dose group potentially avoiding hospital because they were on average three years younger. The nationalities of people in the two groups also differed, with fewer Hispanic and Latino people in the high-dose group, which may have affected the results.“The findings are promising, but the study was relatively small and the study period was too short to monitor any long-term safety issues of such a high daily dose of vitamin D,” says JoAnn Manson at Harvard University.8．How much vitamin D does National Institutes of Health recommend us to take daily?A．At least 10 IU.B．Less than 400 IU.C．Roughly 600 IU.D．Over 4,000 IU. 9．How did the team carry out the study?A．By explaining the phenomenon.B．By referring to previous data.C．By using supporting examples.D．By comparing and analyzing. 10．How many factors may have affected the results according to LaRiccia?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four. 11．What is JoAnn Manson’s attitude towards the study?A．Objective.B．Negative.C．Favorable.D．Uncertain.Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed a Sphinx statue (狮身人面像) with a smiley face near the Hathor Temple, one of the country’s best preserved ancient sites. The smiling Sphinx is much smaller than the famous Sphinx in Giza, which is 20 metres high. The stone work of art, believed to be a stylized representation of an ancient Roman emperor, was found inside a two-level tomb near the temple in southern Egypt.Next to the beautifully and accurately carved Sphinx, researchers had found a Roman stone written in hieroglyph (象形文字). Once fully translated, the stone may unveil the identity of the sculpted ruler, who could be Emperor Claudius.The smiling Sphinx is among a series of discoveries announced over the past few months. The country has uncovered major archaeological discoveries in recent months, primarily in the Saqqara cemetery (墓地) south of Cairo as well as in Giza, home to the only surviving structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Recently, Egypt announced the discovery of a hidden nine-metre passage inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, which may lead to the actual burial room of pharaoh (法老) Khufu, or Cheops. Further south, in Luxor, archaeologists had discovered a 1,800-year-old complete residential city from the Roman times.Hathor Temple, about 500 kilometres south of the capital Cairo, was home to the Dendera Zodiac, a heavenly map which has been displayed at the Louvre in Paris for more than a century. Since Frenchman Sebastien Louis Saulnier took it out of the temple in 1922, Egypt has been attempting to get it back.Some experts see such announcements as having more political and economic weight than scientific, as Egypt is counting on tourism to revive its vital tourism industry in a severe economic crisis. The government aims to draw in 30 million tourists a year by 2028. 12．What do we know about the smiling Sphinx?A．Its owner was confirmed as an ancient Roman ruler.B．It has been the best-preserved Sphinx till now.C．It is as high as 20 metres like the Sphinx of Giza.D．It was discovered close to the Hathor Temple.13．What does the underlined word “unveil” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Reveal.B．Seek.C．Deny.D．Maintain.14．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The diversity of cultural relics in Egypt.B．The discoveries made recently in Egypt.C．The status of the Great Pyramid of Giza.D．The new discovery about pharaoh Khufu.15．What does Egypt expect most from the recent discoveries?A．Scientific progress.B．Political position.C．Economic advance.D．Cultural exchange.We all feel lonely at some point, but long-term social loneliness can damage our mental and physical health. “Loneliness is a signal that you need human connection,” says Dr. Jeremy Nobel. 16 .Know yourselfIt’s easier to connect with people if you have shared the same ideas or experiences, so start paying attention to what’s on your mind. 17 . If you know what’s meaningful for you, it may lead you to an activity or creative idea that connects you to people.Make somethingWhen someone says make something, you can immediately say, “Well, I’m not Picasso.I don’t know how to do a fancy painting.” And, of course, you’re not! But the opportunities for creative expression are endless. You can plant a garden or try a dance move. 18 . Take a risk by having conversationsShare something about yourself. It doesn’t have to be the biggest or darkest part of your life, but just something you think other people might find interesting and convincing.19 , putting yourself out there requires a bit of risk, and it’s another important step to real connection.20Whether it’s volunteering for a cause you believe in or just for fun, try to find others who share your interests. And if you follow your natural curiosities, you may find something new. Share your thoughts and feelings in creative ways with other people who have that interest.A．Other people’s loneliness matters tooB．Find a group that matches your interestsC．Since you have shared some of your secretsD．Here are some good tips to make connectionE．Even if you’re nervous about being judged or refusedF．Knowing yourself can be the first step to bond with othersG．Making something can express your thoughts and feelings to others二、完形填空Born without legs, Zion Clark is now a wrestler. “You don’t need legs to leave your footprint on this planet” is a (n) 21 by which Zion Clark lives his life.Since birth, the man has continuously 22 every challenge.

Once a rich and clever boy had practically everything a boy could want, so he was not interested in most toys.But he couldn't get a very old mirror, and he convinced his parents to buy it from a mysterious（神秘的）old man.When the mirror arrived home, the boy went to see his reflection in it.His face looked very sad indeed.He tried smiling and making funny faces, but his reflection continued with its sad expression."What a terrible mirror!It's the first time I've seen a mirror that didn't work properly!" the boy jumped violently.That same afternoon he went into the street to play and bought a few toys, but on his way to the park he saw a little girl who was crying her heart out.The girl was crying so much and looked so lonely that the rich boy went over to help her and to see what had happened.The little girl told him that she had lost her parents.Together the two set off in search of the parents.As the little girl wouldn't stop crying, the boys pen this money buying her sweets to cheer her up.Finally, after much walking, they found her parents who were much worried and were looking for her everywhere.The rich boy said goodbye to them.As it was getting late, he decided to head forhome, without being able to play.At home, he went to his room, and noticed a shining light in the corner, the same corner he had left the mirror in.Seeing this, he went over to the mirror, and realised that the light was coming from his own body, so radiant（闪亮的）with happiness he had become.And so he understood the mystery of that mirror, the only mirror which could faithfully reflect the true joy of its owner.He realised it was true.He felt very happy at having helped that little girl.And since then, each morning when he looked in that mirror and failed to see a special shine, he knew what he had to do to bring it back.（1）How did the boy feel when he first looked into the mirror？________A.Embarrassed.B.Angry.C.Worried.D.Delighted.．（2）Why was the little girl crying so hard？________A.She couldn't find her parents.B.She couldn't get the mysterious mirror.C.Her parents couldn't buy toys for her.D.The boy refused to give his toys to her.．（3）What could the boy see in the mirror after he went back from the park？________ A.A shining toy.

Teenagers from low﹣income families in particular are more likely than their middle﹣class peers（同龄人）to do less well in schoolwork and to dropout of school.Studies have shown, however, that a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at﹣risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriers and lack of resources they face.Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement（参与） comes from research on mothers.Little is known, however, about how teenagers experience their fathers' warmth and the beliefs and behavior that are most affected by it.This new study is part of a large one focusing on low﹣income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States.Researchers asked 183 sixth﹣graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their schoolwork, and how they experienced their fathers' warmth.The students' maths and language arts grades were also gained.The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children's well﹣being in their analyses.Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism and higher achievement at school."Low﹣income fathers affect their teenagers' beliefs about themselves and their future, and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to complete school tasks, " says Dr.Marie﹣Anne.These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, although in differentways.Experiencing their fathers' warmth first influences daughters' sense of optimism, and then ________ into their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities.This in turn leads to better maths grades.There is a more direct link between their fathers' love and boys' belief in their ability to succeed in academy.（1）What is more likely to happen to teenagers from low﹣income families？________A.They will be more determined to struggle.B.They will have fewer happy things to share.C.They will fail in their studies and quit school.D.They will receive less love from their parents.．（2）How is the new research different from the previous ones？________A.It only researches families in the north of America.B.It only studies low﹣education families in the world.C.It combines questionnaire data and students' grades.D.It mainly focuses on the effects of fathers' involvement.．（3）What can we know about fathers' warmth？________A.It is less effective than that of mothers.B.It affects girls and boys in different ways.C.It mainly applies to girls rather than boys.D.It has a more direct effect on girls than on boys.．（4）Which of the following best explains "spills over" underlined in the last paragraph？________A.Spreads.B.Changes.C.Bursts.D.Checks.．4. Captured（捕获的）carbon dioxide（CO2）could be used to extract（提炼）useful metals（金属）from recycled technology such as smartphone batteries rather than just being buried underground.The technique could help make it more economical to capture the greenhouse gas before it enters the atmosphere."If you also extract metals by filling CO2, you add value to a process that is known to be costly, " says Julien Leclaire at the University of Lyon, France.CO2 is the main cause of modern climate change, so many people have attempted to develop technologies to capture it when it comes from power plants and other major sources.The gas can then be stored underground.The problem is that such carbon capture and storage（CCS）is expensive."No one wants to pay the price for it, " says Leclaire.To make CCS more appealing, Leclaire's team has found a use for the gas.His team collected CO2from a car gas, cooledit, then pumped it into a mix of chemicals. The CO2combined with the mix to make many molecules（分子）of various shapes and sizes.The team found that this process could sort out mixtures of metals, because one metal would dissolve（溶解）in the liquid while another would form a solid.In a series of experiments, they successfully separated three kinds of metals﹣all of which are used in batteries, smart phones and computers.If the process can be widely used, it could be a more environmentally friendly way to recycle batteries and other electrical equipment, says Leclaire.This is normally done using highly reactive chemicals, which are potentially polluting.Replacing them with CO2should lead to a much lower environmental pollution, he says.Other researchers and companies are trying to change captured CO2 into useful materials like plastics, which are normally produced from petrol, but this is chemicallydifficult.Leclaire says his approach is more inline with how CO2 behaves naturally."Instead of copying what we know how to do better and cheaper with oil, let's find things you can only do with CO2, " he says.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph？________A.Extracting useful metals from recycled technology is widely used now.eful metals in the atmosphere are used to make smart phone batteries.C.Abandoned smart phone batteries may have been buried underground before.D.The greenhouse gas CO2 could be cleaned up after entering the atmosphere.．（2）Why are many people attempting to capture CO2？________A.CO2 is the main cause of modern climate change.B.CO2 can be used to recycle many resources.C.Captured CO2 can be changed to useful gas.D.CO2 is harmful to people's health.．（3）What benefit could Leclaire's team's approach bring？________A.It could end the use of plastics.B.It could reduce environmental pollution.C.It could make more metals available to humans.D.It could help reduce the cost of battery production.．（4）What is the best title for the text？________A.The Ways to Make Smart phone BatteriesB.The Reason for Capturing Greenhouse GasC.Collecting CO2 Is Starting to Make New ProgressD.Captured CO2 Could Be Used to Help Recycle Useful Metals．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

陕西高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.If you frequently travel for business, Stay bridge Suites offer you a range of home comforts. Four recent visitors to Staybridge Suites explain why they booked, what they enjoyed and what made them want to return.Claire Metcalf“The concept is great, but the staff are the ones who really make it. ”she says. “It takes a lot of discipline to always be friendly, but the staff at Staybridge Suites do that. They genuinely care about you.”Andrew Roberts“One of the best things is having my own kitchen. I often end up working late and I don’t fancy eating in a restaurant on my own, so cooking for myself is a big drawcard. ”“The main thing for me is being able to cook and have my own little flat. The staff are amazing. It is great to be recognized by them, ”he sa ys.Pauline Robinson“What I love about it is the way that you are treated by the staff,” she says. “Some of the staff have been there all that time and they do look after you well. As a woman staying on my own, it is reassuring that they look out for you, and recently when I was poorly they even brought things I needed to my room. ”Ryan Ruckledge“The fully-equipped kitchen is great. I always have a one-bed apartment so I have a separate kitchen and dining room and I’m able to relax and cook some meals. E ating out can feel a bit much when you do it day in and day out—it makes you hate what you do—and I don’t want that.【1】What attracts visitors to Staybridge Suites?A．A separate dining room.B．A one—bed apartment.C．A home from home.D．A lot of discipline.【2】Who think highly of the kitchen of Staybridge Suites?A．Pauline Robinson and Ryan Ruckledge.B．Ryan Ruckledge and Claire Metcalf.C．Andrew Roberts and Ryan Ruckledge.D．Pauline Robinson and Claire Metcalf.【3】What does the underlined word “drawcard” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．barrier.B．attraction.C．honour.D．difficulty.【4】Why does the author write the article?A．To advertise Staybridge Suites.B．To introduce four recent visitors.C．To inform us of a new service.D．To sing high praise for the staff.2.Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons. During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educationalpurposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At t he start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.【1】We can infer from the first paragraph that .A．teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phonesB．mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needsC．students are free to use their mobile phones at schoolD．mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school【2】When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .A．all enjoyed the project very muchB．didn’t know what they were used forC．didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phonesD．were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools【3】Who benefited most from the project?A．Older pupils.B．Pupils who were not confident.C．Younger pupils.D．Pupils who were confident.【4】The purpose of the text is to tell us that .A．mobile phones can actually help students learnB．mobile phones begin to be widely used in schoolsC．too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problemsD．the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years3.(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his s tory of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”【1】Why was Duret in New York?A．To meet his girlfriend.B．To spend his holiday.C．To work as an engineer.D．To visit the Andersons.【2】What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A．He was interviewed by a newspaper.B．He went to the hospital in the ambulance.C．He disappeared from the spot quickly.D．He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.B．Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.C．The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D．Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero.【4】What is probably the headline of this news report?A．A Careless Father B．A Poor GirlC．Warm-hearted Onlookers D．Brave Frenchman Found二、其他Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s?Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around.【1】It’s particularly important to the elderly.Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, “the brain creates neural(神经)pathways” that make us smarter.【2】 The more we learn, the mote new neural pathways develop in our brains.When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out.【3】 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.As we feel worn out from learning, don’t be discouraged.【4】An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, and choose to distance ourselves from other, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy, and life passion. Instead of being bored, dumb, why don’t we keep learning?【5】 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence; gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and ach.A．It’s never too old to learn.B．Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.C．You should set a high learning target.D．Learning makes us understand how potential we are.E. Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.F. In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.G. However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic, and self-fulfilled.三、完形填空A man wanted to become wealthy.
