Set your fitness goalsC Keep running every dayD Download workout appsBOne day in the gym, I asked a coach, "What's the difference between the best athletes and everyone else? "He briefly mentioned the things that you mightexpect: genetics, luck, talentBut then he added something I wasn’t expecting. "At some point,” he said, ”it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day and doing the same practice over and over again.”Most of the time people talk about getting motivated to work on their goals. As a result, I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing. But that’s exactly the opposite of what this coach was sayingWhen I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldn’t? Your coach is happy, your teammates are excited, and you feel like you can beat anyone As an entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of pushing you forward.But what about when you’re bored? What about when the work isn’t easy? What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you're not getting the resultsyou want? It's the ability to work when work isn’t easy that makes the difference.If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that it’s not the events or the results that make them different. It's their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice.So, fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.24 What was the author’s attitude towards the coach’s added answer?A. He doubted it.B. He argued against it.C. He was surprised at it.D. He was uninterested in it.25. The coach supposes successful people ______.A. can avoid negative emotionsB. can keep themselves inspiredC. have a real enthusiasm for their workD. will find ways to work through boredom.26. The author mentions his own experience to show________.A. the way of becoming successful.B. the importance of getting results.C. the willingness to work hard when you feel motivated.D. the difficulty in keeping working when you are boredom.27. The text inspires people to______.A. value motivationB live with repetitionC. set themselves goalD. develop a good habitCSince so much written language we see today comes from a glowing screen, language has begun to change through our interaction with technology. Social media and the Internet have had a rapid and great effect on the English language, and not necessarily for the better. More and more people have found themselves writing inpieces of words and using unclear acronyms(词首字母) both in written and spoke languaHow many times have you typed "LOL" in response to a humorous message? Referred to someone as your “BEF”? Exclaimed, “OMG! " during a particularly shocking event? Social media has affected the words we use in our everyday life. Abbreviations and acronyms commonly known as "text talk” have made their way into both spoken and written language. These are becoming increasingly popular as people struggle for brief expressions to meet word limits on social media like Weibo and Twitter. In addition, the speed of the Internet means language is changing faster than ever. You no longer have to be published through physical and traditional means to bring word trends to public attention.Many people believe the overuse of these new terms is a passing trend, and nobody will be using them in just a couple of decades. With the change of language, older terms will surely disappear and fall out of style, and newer and more Internet language will take their place.But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks the contrary. In 2011, a lot of Internet terms including, “LOL““BPB““OMG”, and “BFF” were added to the dictionary, making these acronyms official parts of the English language. According to the dictionary writers, these terms aren't going anywhere anytime soon.The words you use in everyday life are a reflection of yourself, this is especially true on the Internet with the lack of interaction in real life. With the Internet and social media rapidly getting popular, soon your words may be all you have left. Make them good ones.28. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Social Media and the English LanguageB. The Use of New Internet LanguageC. The Internet and Social MediaD. The Change of the Internet and English29. What is one reason for people’s use of acronyms?A. The decrease of physical and traditional booksB. People' s need for quick response to different messagesC. The lack of people’s interaction with technologiesD. People's need to meet word limits on social media30. The ”new terms” are considered to be part of a passing trend because_______.A. they are not published in a traditional wayB. they are not used as formal languageC. they’ll be replaced by even newer onesD. they are not supported by dictionary writers31. The writer of the passage thinks that Internet languages_________.A have positive influenceR should be properly usedC. are getting more popularD. are useless for interactionDPeople with an impulsive(冲动的)personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺)release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might rink alcohol or take drug. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person hasa hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight, " said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Seale, should be related to helping control impulsive action.” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James Mackillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies ( 治疗,疗法) used to treat addictive drug behavior couldhelp people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” Mackillop said. "It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”32. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is_________.A. taking alcohol or drugsB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. less healthy weight33. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusionsB. By explaining causes and effectsC. By giving definitions and examplesD. By presenting questions and answers34. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether Mood addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Impulsive personality linked to food additionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Dopamine release caused by food addictionD. Food addiction contributing to obesity第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

安徽省合肥一六八中学2019-2020学年高二下学期第四次线上测试英语答案

参考答案阅读理解A:1. C 2. C 3. D【分析】这是一篇应用文。

文章介绍了作家Jo Usmar选出的四本好书。

1.推理判断题。

根据第一段Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.可知,下文介绍作家Jo Usmar选出的最好的读物,所以下文中的“I”指的是Jo Usmar。

故C选项正确。

2.细节理解题。

根据After Dark中It’s about two sister—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student.可知,故事讲的是两个姐妹——Eri是一个要么不睡,要么一觉不醒的模特,玛丽,是一个年轻学生。

所以After Dark中讲述了Eri和Mari的故事。

故C选项正确。

3.细节理解题。

由Gone Girl中的...but the horror story is brilliant.可知,这是一个恐怖故事。

故D选项正确。

阅读理解B:4.D 5.A 6.A 7.C【分析】本文是记叙文。

作者非常在意食物的营养和热量值均衡,当面对并不是作者首选的美味的奶酪蛋糕时,作者陷入了两难的境地。

后来,她想到一个巧妙的计划,用奶酪蛋糕作为锻炼的动力,通过反复的操作后,作者感觉奶酪蛋糕的诱惑没有开始那么大了,不想再吃蛋糕了。

现在,每当她想沉溺于以前的最爱,她就想起了这个微妙的计划。

4.推理判断题。

根据第一段中的A piece of cheese cake is not an option. So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my frustration on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?(奶酪蛋糕不是应该的选择。

B.In a novel. C.At a Lost andFound.Is it true that British people have a better sense of humor than people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in Britain.To the British, powerful and important people are often sources of laughter, not just politicians who make us chuckle but anyone whose job is to tell people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously.We laugh at authority but also, sympathetically (同情地), with anyone who is treated badly. We know they can’t win, but if they do so sometimes, it’s even funnier. Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things--Mr Bean, for example--while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things--and winning.The fact that we laugh when other people might feel hopeless is one of the oddest things to appreciate about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony(反讽). “Not very pleasant,” we might say after some terrible experience. Together with this is our love of understatement (轻描淡写).“It’s a bit windy today,” we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or “ there is a slight problem,” when something has gone very seriously wrong. This is related to the old-fashioned British expression “stiff upper lip”. Don’t express extreme feelings, just “just keep calm and carry on.”Another thing that can make it difficult to understand British humor is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmilingdeadpan(面无表情) expression, even when we’re making a joke. Do you think the British sense of humor is unique?40. Where does the writer probably come from ?A.America B.Britain C.China D.It isn’tmentioned.41. Of the following sayings, which one is not about British humor?A.IronyB.Understatement.C.Clever people doing clever things.D.They laugh when other people might feel hopeless.42. Which expression tells us to keep calm and carry on?A.Not very pleasant. B.It’s a bit windy today.C.There is a slight problem. D.Stiff upper lip.43. What does the writer think of British humor?A.Funny. B.Powerful. C.Difficult. D.Easy.There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (委员会), the students would be in fear, for he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.The professor began to ask the student to describe a certain illness, his answer turned out to be OK.Then the professor asked about the cure (治疗) for illness, and the student also answered just as right.“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”“A full spoon,” answered the student.“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said the professor. At the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously, he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I've made a mistake! A spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops.”“I'm sorry, sir,” said the professor coldly, “but it's too late. Your patient has died.”44. The student who finished his answers was asked to go out________.A.to cure a patient B.to wait for his markC.to think over his answers D.to ask someone else to go in45. We learn from the passage that________.A.very few students receive a good mark from the professorB.the student didn't give a right answer at all.C.the students were not clever enough for the questionsD.the exam at the end of the term was most difficult46. We can infer(推断) that the student who corrected his answer would________.A.get a good markB.not get a good markC.be lucky enough to cure a patientD.have no chance to go on with the studyOn March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe (宇宙) began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than10 million copies around the world.Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had an optimistic attitude.When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a w heelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically-disabled (身体残疾). one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well,” he once said.Hawking traveled the globe to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica (南极洲). He was also a fan of pop culture and shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory . He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. And he hoped to travel into space one day.47. Which of the following is true about Stephen Hawking according to the passage?A.His most famous book is Big Bang.B.Hawking is always thought to be the greatest scientist.C.He is famous as a successful writer.D.His book has made it easier for people to understand his theory.48. What didn’t Hawking do in his life?A.Visit Antarctica. B.Show on TV.C.Travel into space. D.Go up in a hot-air balloon.49. What does the underlined word “ optimistic ” mean?A.成功的B.孤僻的C.傲娇的D.乐观的50. What can we know about Hawking’s life from the passage?A.Dangerous and exciting. B.Difficult and suffering.C.Colorful and meaningful. D.Sad and meaningless.Are you having difficulty centering on your studies? Well, don’t worry. Here are some easy things you can do to center on study.Have everything you need to study. 51 Even if you’re not sure if you’ll need them, they should be in your study area. In this way, you won’t have to get up, interrupting yourself from studying.Wr ite down your study goals. For just today, what do you want to get finished? It’s your goal, and it’ll give you something to work toward during your study time. 52 For example, if you have to read 100 pages this week, break it down to 20 passages a day.Spare some time to think about other things. 53 At this time, keep a pen and paper beside you and write down everything that comes to your mind when you’re studying. Then do or think about those things once you’re having a stop.Make studying more active. Reading can get boring, especially when it’s in a topic you don’t enjoy. So, how can you make your studying easier? 54 Or look away from the page and summarize out loud what you read.Listen to your body. The fact is that we all have high-energy time of the day. When are yours? If possible, study during your high-energy time. 55 For some people, this will be early in the morning. For others, they feel good at night. Whichever is yours, listen to your body and study during that time.When I returned from abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly considered me 56 a smuggler. He asked me 57 I had anything to declare. After I told him nothing needed to be declared, he asked me 58 (unlock) my suitcase, 59 he went through with great care.All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in 60 mess. I just thought the case would never be 61 (close) again. A moment later, I 62 (find) his face lighted, as he had found a tiny bottle. Regarding it as perfume, he told me it was not duty-free and thought I would be in trouble. I explained to him that it was hair gel and not pleasant to smell, 63 he didn’t believe me until he was greeted by the 64 (pleasant) smell. Finally, I was able to hurry away 65 precious chalk mark on my baggage.66. 在今年的政府工作报告中,“着力解决中小学生课外负担重”的表述引来不少家长关注。

Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, MissT runchbu l l, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people”who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGi l l ian FynnT here was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone elseon the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant.

So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake,feel dissatisfied and take out my frustration on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?T he latter seemed like a win-win solution. Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I’d get an exercise session. And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive. I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefu l l y walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a sma l l fork. I put on my exercise outfit and went downstairs.T he appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again. My reward: one sma l l bite of试卷第 2 页,总12页cheese cake. If I wanted another, I’d have to run down and up and down and up again. Off I went. Ah, creamy vani l l a goodness without guilt. I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted through another stair climbing run.Admittedly, it is harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing. I placed a bottle of water next to the cake.Down and up and down and up again. When I struggled over to the cheese cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead. I didn’t want the cake any more. I wanted a l l this sweat and effort to do more than ca ncel the calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more t ime.My plan worked.

C.Atrick that worked. D.Asweating experience.C 篇It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented by a company named Ha l l mark,but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shou t-ou t to Momfor a long time. T he Greeks and Romans had mother goddess fes t ivals—although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers out to dinner. A more recent tradition was Mothering Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were livingand working apar t from their families were advised to return to their mothers’houses.Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers' Work Days” to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides,and after the war she became a peacemaker, furthering the cause by bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother's Day holiday.Jarvis's work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe published her “Mother's Day Proclamation”, which envisionedthe day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunityfor women to exercise their co l l ective power for peace. Howe started holding annualMother's Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decade she stopped footing the bi l l and the tradition faded away.试卷第 4 页,总12页It was Jarvis's daughter Anna who succeeded in getting Mother’s Dayrecognized as a national holiday. After her mother died, in May 1905, Annastarted holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tirelessPR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlistingthe support of John W anamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnateand advertising pioneer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other stateshad adopted Mother's Day. T wo years later, President Woodrow Wilson signeda resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday.It wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposedto celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy.By the1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had beeninstrumental in creating. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,”she said.8.T he first paragraph suggests that .A.mothers didn't get enough apprecia t ionB.Mother's Day was invented by Ha l l markC.young people returned to their mothers' housesD.Greeks and Romans were the first to celebrate Mother's Day9.Who plays the most important role in creating Mother's Day?A.Ann Jarvis. B.Julia Ward Howe. C.Woodrow Wilson. D.Anna Jarvis.10.Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother's Day at last?A.Because it was an emotional day.B.Because the festival was notprofitable.C.Because the celebrations went against the originalspirit.试卷第 5 页,总12页D.Because the day was buried under greeting cards and candy.11.Which of the fo l l owing would be the best title for the passage?A.T he Objection to Mother’s DayB.T he Argument on Celebrating Mother's Day C.The Story Behind the Creation of Mother's DayD.Different Form of Celebrations on Mother'sDayD 篇Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. T hemicroorganisms( 微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcom ing this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms,like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead a tFairport High School in Fairport, New Y ork.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution( 解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. T hey have to do it justlike NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“T here are no tests,” Gordon says. “T here is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the endof year, present it toNASA.’Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on co l l ege admissionsand practical life skills. “T hese kids are so absorbed in their studies that Ijust sitback. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are试卷第 6 页,总12页emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.12.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Sta t ion?

It is the source of a l l anxiety.17.It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love”means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D - love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love whichis based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.D-love is conditional.

She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的) pianist.After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music?” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?”Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’ horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank.” Pasha said.I played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.4.By describing herself as a mechanical pianist, the author meant .A.she could remember the notes in a short timeB.she was playing the piano without emotionC.her fingers couldn’t move freelyD.it had been a long time since she playedlast time 5.Which of the following canbest describe Pasha?A.Creative. B.Honest. C.Humorous. D.Brave. 6.Pasha’s magic of playing the piano lies in that she .A.imagined herself as a princessB.knew its original background storyC.had a strong desire to make a friendbined the music with a story7.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.A Friend ForeverB.Never Give upC.A Piano LessonD.My Favorite Piece of MusicCOwnership used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque. If you bought something, you owned it. If it broke, you fixed it. If you no longer wanted it, you sold it or threw it away. In the digital age, however, ownership has become more slippery. Since the coming of smartphones, consumers have been forced to accept that they do not control the software in their devices; they are only licensed to use it. As a digital chain is wrapped ever more tightly around more devices, such as cars and thermostats, who owns and who controls which objects is becoming a problem. Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.The trend is not always harmful. Manufacturers seeking to restrict what owners do with increasingly complex technology have good reasons to protect their copyright, ensure that their machines do not break down, support environmental standards and prevent hacking. Sometimes companies use their control over a product’s software for the owners’benefit. When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month, Tesla remotely updated the software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.But the more digital strings are attached to goods, the more the balance of control leans towards producers and away from owners. That can be inconvenient. Picking a car is hard enough, but harder still if you have to dig up the instructions that tell you how use is limited and what data you must give. If the products are intentionally designed not to last long, it can also be expensive. Already, items from smartphones to washing machines have become extremely hard to fix, meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired.Privacy is also at risk. Users become terrified when iRobot, a robotic vacuum cleaner, not only cleans the floor but also creates a digital map of the inside of a home that can then be sold to advertisers (though the manufacturer says it has no intention of doing so). Cases like this should remind people how jealously they ought to protect their property rights and control who uses the data that is collected.Ownership is not about to go away, but its meaning is changing. This requires careful inspection. Devices, by and large, are sold on the basis that they enable people to do what they want. To the extent they are controlledby somebody else, that freedom is compromised. 8.What benefit does it bring to customers if companies control the ownership of products?A.It provides them with knowledge to prevent hacking.B.It gives them the chance to be protected from danger.C.It enables them to own the copyright of the products.D.It helps them know more about complex technology.9.The underlined words “that freedom” in the last paragraph refer to thefreedom to.A.control other peopleB.share the ownershipC.inspect devices at any timee devices as one wishes10.The author may agree .A.customers should buy fewer digitaldevices B.producers should controlproperty rights C.property rightsneed to be protectedD.better after sales service is required11.Which of the following shows the development of ideas inthe passage? I: Introduction P: Point Sp:Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.DBees are unimaginably territorial ( 有地盘意识的), fighting to death to defend their home with painful stings (螫刺). But killer bees are particularly fierce. They appeared after African bees were imported to Brazil in the 1950s. By the 1980s, they had spread north to the United States, outgunning native bees along the way. Their massive attacks have killed more than 1,000 people.Mario Palma, a biochemist at Sao Paulo State University in Rio Claro, Brazil, who studies social behavior in bees, wanted to understand the basis of this aggression. So he and his colleagues swung a black leather ball in front of some killer bees and collected the bees whose stingers got stuck in the ball during the attack. They also collected killer bees that remained in the cell. The analysis suggested that killer bee brains have two proteins that —in the aggressive bees—quickly break into pieces to form a so-called “neuropeptide (神经肽)”, they reported this week in the Journal of Proteome Research.Palma and his colleagues already knew that bee brains have these two proteins. “We were astonished when we identified some very simple neuropeptides, which were produced in a few seconds,” Palma said. Killer bees that remained in the cell did not make these neuropeptides, he reported. And when his team put these neuropeptides into young, less aggressive bees, they “became aggressive like older individuals”.Palma added that these neuropeptides also increase the production of energy and alarm chemicals. They could also encourage the nerve cells in killer bees needed to make the stinging attack. “There is a fine biochemical regulation in the killer bee brain,”he said. Researchers have found these neuropeptides in other insects, but few had associated them with “fight”behavior.12.What is special about bees?A.They are particularly fierce. B.They show territorial behavior. C.They were imported to Brazil. D.They live in harmony with other insects. 13.Why did Palma and his colleagues perform the experiment?A.To understand bees’ social behavior.B.To study why killer bees are aggressive.C.To prove bees love flying around.D.To learn how bees communicate with each other.14.What finding surprised the researchers during theexperiment? A.There are two proteins in killer beebrains.B.Young killer bees are fiercer than older ones.C.The killer bees make an attack immediately.D.Killer bee brains produce neuropeptidequickly.15.What will the author probably talk about following thelast paragraph? A.The form of these neuropeptides in killerbees.B.The function of these neuropeptides in other insects.C.The application of these scientific methods in other insects.D.The production of energy and alarm chemicals in killer bees.第二节七选五(共三篇 15 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)AHow to Retain More of Every Book You Read In recent years, I have focused on building good reading habits and learned how to read more. For most people, the final goal of reading a nonfiction book is to actually improve their life by learning a new skill, understanding an important problem, or looking at the world in a new way. 16. With that in mind, I’d like to share three reading comprehension skills that I use to make my reading more productive.Make all of your notes searchable. Having searchable book notes is important for returning to ideas easily.17. An idea is only useful if you can find it when you need it. There is no need to leave the task of reading comprehension merely up to your memory.18. When you go to the library, all of the books will be divided into different categories. In the real world, of course, knowledge is not separated into neatly defined boxes.19. For that reason, I try to consider how the book I’m reading is connected with all of the ideas that are already inside my head. Whenever possible, I try to combine the lessons I’m learning with previous ideas.Summarize the book in one paragraph.20. It forces me to review my notes and consider what is really important about the book. In many cases, I find that I can usually get just as much useful information from reading my one-paragraph summary and reviewing my notes as I would if I read the entire book again.bine thoughts as you read.B.All knowledge is interconnected.C.Describe the book to your friends.D.Read widely if you want to practice the skills.E.It increases the chances that you will apply what you read in real life.F.Once I finish a book, I challenge myself to conclude the text in just threesentences.G.It’s important to read books, but it is just as important to rememberwhat you read and use it.BMany students, of all ages feel nervous, scared, or even panicky on exam day. This is a well-known phenomenon called test anxiety. 21 . While it is normal to feel some tension before your test, feeling too nervous can interfere with your thinking processes and have a negative effect on your exam performance. To turn the situation around and perform at your best, it is necessary to learn how to manage your stress successfully.Pace yourself. If you find yourself struggling for too long over a single question, move on to the next one.22.If you feel your anxiety level rising, stop and take a few deep breaths.If possible,get a drink of water.Think positively. Test anxiety often leads to a nervousness, fear, and worrying that can affect your performance. 23. Such thinking includes the belief that you will do the very best you can, that you have studied diligently, and that you know the material.24 .Those around you might be having difficulty with the test or, alternately, be breezing through it. No matter how your fellow test-takers are doing, their performance has nothing to do with you, so do not risk test anxiety by measuring your progress against that of your classmates.Stay focused. 25.If you stay focused on what you are doing you will be more likely torecall answers and less likely to be affected by test anxiety.A.Pause for breath.B.Ignore others taking the test.C.Is it possible to overcome test anxiety?D.At a time which matters the most, you may feel your worst.E.If you feel negative thinking coming on, focus on the positive.F.Several strategies can reduce test anxiety and increase your performance ontest day.G.Test anxiety tends can lead to a lack of focus, allowing your attentionto drift from the test to other subjects.CIf you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 26. Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 27.Your metabolism( 新陈代谢) gets a head start. 28. If you work out in the mornings,then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.29.Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so itis more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.30.If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Setyour alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.A.You will stick to your diet.B.Your quality of sleep improves.C.You prefer healthy food to fast food.D.There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.E.You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.F.After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.G.If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you’re doing it now, thenlisten up!第二部分完形填空(共三篇 60 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 90 分)AI used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed.

Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. When he’s not 57 his carpet-cleaning company nearby, the 53-year-old Cullymore can be found hiking up and down Camelback a couple of times a day,58 cold bottles of water to 59 hikers. He has helped so many hikers that he has60 a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. “I’d like a more manly name, but, you know,”he joked.Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 61 a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the hot July.

After years of regular treatment, she 72 became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head — to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 73 our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 74 it. The team practice, 75 , was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 76 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 77 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 78 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 79 and insisted she go.From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 80 a single practice. She had a 81 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 82 human being with a passion and amission. There were moments of 83 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 84 — ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 85 her friends and praise their accomplishments.

安徽省合肥一六八中学2019-2020学年高二下学期第四次线上测试英语试题

英语试题(2020.4.11)时间:60分钟满分:100分第一部分:阅读理解A篇My Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brill iant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.1.Who does “I” refer to in the text?A.Stephen King. B.Gillian Flynn.C.Jo Usmar. D.Roald Dahl.2.Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A.Cosmopolitan. B.Matilda.C.After Dark. D.The Stand.3.What kind of book is G one Girl?A.A folk tale. B.A biography.C.A love story. D.A horror story.B篇There it was. A test of will power. I’m on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value. A piece of cheese cake is not an option. So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my frustration on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?The latter seemed like a win-win solution. Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I’d get an exerc ise session. And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive. I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork. I put on my exercise outfit and went downstairs.The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I wouldcheese cake. If I wanted another, I’d have to run down and up and down and up again. Off I went. Ah, creamy vanilla goodness without guilt. I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted through another stair climbing run.Admittedly, it is harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing. I placed a bottle of water next to the cake.Down and up and down and up again. When I struggled over to the cheese cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead. I didn’t want the cake any more. I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to indulge in a former favorite, I remembered my stairs trick.4.What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1?A.She has weak will power.B.She is bad-tempered and very critical.C.She needs assistance with making the choice.D.She hesitated over eating something against her diet.5.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Motivation. B.Excuse.C.Substitute. D.Companion.6.What do we learn about the author’s plan?A.It involved much energy consumption.B.It rid the cake of the pleasant taste.C.It changed the author’s p reference for food.7.What may be the best title for the passage?A.A costly dilemma.B.An evil cheese cake.C.A trick that worked.D.A sweating experience.C篇It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented by a company named Hallmark, but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shout-out to Mom for a long time. The Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals — although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers out to dinner. A more recent tradition was Mothering Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were living and working apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers’ houses.Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers' Work Days” to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides, and after the war she became a peacemaker, furthering the cause by bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother's Day holiday.Jarvis's work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe published her “Mother's Day Proclamation”, which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for peace. Howe started holding annual Mother's Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decadeshe stopped footing the bill and the tradition faded away.It was Jarvis's daughter Anna who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died, in May 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless PR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the support of John W anamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate and advertising pioneer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other states had adopted Mother's Day. Two years later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday.It wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,” she said.8.The first paragraph suggests that .A.mothers didn't get enough appreciationB.Mother's Day was invented by HallmarkC.young people returned to their mothers' housesD.Greeks and Romans were the first to celebrate Mother's Day9.Who plays the most important role in creating Mother's Day?A.Ann Jarvis. B.Julia Ward Howe. C.Woodrow Wilson. D.Anna Jarvis.10.Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother's Day at last?A.Because it was an emotional day.B.Because the festival was not profitable.C.Because the celebrations went against the original spirit.11.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.The Objection to Mother’s DayB.The Argument on Celebrating Mother's DayC.The Story Behind the Creation of Mother's DayD.Different Form of Celebrations on Mother's DayD篇Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been stud ying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “T here is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, a nd...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sitback. I do n’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria?

According to psychologists, separateness means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.17. It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met. But B-love is unconditional. 18. Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love. 19. Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The immature lover would say, “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one: “ 20.”A.These two types are quite different from each other.B.There are two types of love.C.I need you because I love you.D.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling separateness.E.Every one of us needs love.F.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.第二部分完形填空:A篇I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of thankfulness, but when it came to actually putting the letter into the mailbox... I 21 ...I couldn’t do it. I suddenly felt a sense of 22 and insecurity (不安).The letter was to an old teacher with whom I kept in 23 on Facebook. For months, I read about what she 24 on her Facebook page, which helped me to live my life differently. Her volunteer (志愿者) work wasn’t huge. 25 , she was doing small, local good deeds. 26 , she changed my views on the world and for some reason, I felt I should let her know how her example 27 influenced me.I could have easily sent her an email, but that seemed not enough for such an important thank-you. That’s why I ended up 28 the letter. But now here I was, standing before the mailbox, unable to put the envelope inside. What was stopping me? It suddenly hit me that I was 29 of being too nice. I guess I felt strange 30 it wasn’t like she was my best friend or a relative. Maybe my 31 was too heartfelt. Thinking this over, I put the envelope in the mailbox 32 .Weeks later I received a message from her. It turned out she was 33 a hard time and my note 34 a lot to her. She said she had no idea she was playing such a big 35 in others’ life.Not only did this letter make her happier, but her response to it brightened my world and 36 my level of happiness as well. I was so 37 that it had such a great influence on her that I decided to write a(n) 38 letter to someone each month.
