辽宁省六校2019-2020学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校_________ 班级__________ 姓名__________ 学号__________一、阅读选择1. The London Underground (The Tube)The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.It’s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of £4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is £2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.The Bus SystemOutside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs £1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at £4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users.Light Rail and TrainsYou can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford.River ServicesThere are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places ofinterest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.National RailOnce you leave Central London or if you are traveling South ofthe River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1.【小题1】When taking the London Underground, you _______.A.should buy tickets with cashB.can go to any place in London quicklyC.can save more money with a single ticketD.are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days【小题2】If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass _______.A.London Bridge B.StratfordC.Canary Wharf D.Tower Hill【小题3】To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use _______.A.the London Underground B.the Bus SystemC.the DLR and the Tramlink D.National Rail2. Nowadays, many parents are so busy that they seldom have family meals with their children. But this is wrong.A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who don't eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6,B12, C and E.During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills.When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of schoolaged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge.When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating.Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. That's because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children.Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabulary—building words to help them read and communicate better.Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feelingof belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better selfesteem.In conclusion, family meals are very important.【小题1】The writer wants to tell us that . A.eating together with family is a good chance to teach children B.it's more advantageous for children to eat with their families C.it's desirable for children to eat more regularlyD.enjoying family meals is equal to eating a big and delicious dinner【小题2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Having a company meal is easy to become fatter and fatter.B.In the mealtime, parents should set a good example of healthy eating.C.Family meals can help children with a higher level of nutrition knowledge.D.Family meals can make children form the good habit of eating.【小题3】What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 6 mean? A.Find. B.Replace.C.Prevent D.Improve.【小题4】What is the passage mainly about?A.Why family is important tokids.B.How to eat in a healthy way. C.How to raise children well. D.Why family meals are important.3. A storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in an y way a Harvey-level event.”But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” said Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家).Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods,s o we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself,firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”【小题1】What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about?A.Flood damage in Houston. B.Flood prevention in Houston.C.Heavy floods hitting Houston. D.People fighting floods in Houston.【小题2】What do we know about Hurricane Harvey?A.It caused no deaths or injuries.

B.It will rain a little non-stop. C.A hurricane is unavoidable. D.Floods will continue.【小题4】What did Samuel suggest local people do?A.Stay indoors. B.Join firefighters.C.Give up needless things. D.Comfort those who lost homes.4. Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in thepast several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover” from animals to humans.“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists (流行病学家) on Fair’s team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It’s early d ays for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rain forests and into orchards (果园) in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.“We’re going by the past data to really predict what’s goingto happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anyti me you increase that wildlife-human interface, that’s sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that’s just increasing as we go forward.”Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University’s public health school, argues we don’t yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.【小题1】How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?A.By b reaking animals’habits.B.By increasing animals’varieties.C.By promoting animals’breeding.D.By changing animals’living environment.【小题2】What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3? A.Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.B.Proving the harm of bats to human beings.C.Showing the effects of climate change on disease.D.Presenting scientists’early study about the cause of disease.【小题3】What can we infer from Fair’s words in paragraph 4? A.Humans should give up studying animals.B.Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks. C.Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.D.Past data can solve the problems in the future.【小题4】What could be the best title for the text?A.Climate Change and Disease SpilloverB.Animals’Inte raction with HumansC.Early Studies about Extreme WeatherD.Scientists’Prediction for Disease Outbreaks二、七选五5. Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.【小题1】In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? “【小题2】“ says Johnson.Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough.【小题3】So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar.【小题4】From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.But there are those who are fighting back against sugar.【小题5】Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.A.We take in more energy and fat.B.Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.C.Our ancestors were used to poor food, clothing and shelter.D.So the very thing that once saved us, may now be killing us. E.Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the major one. F.The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid.G.Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit.三、完形填空6.

In fact, sh e was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint had fallen off. It was a room where sad patients are receiving their routine—patients limited themselves to chemo drips (点滴) for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at except those sad walls. B allard didn’t have cancer herself, but she had pity on the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happens, Ballard’s doctor, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so fin ding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten the place up.She started by emailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms.’” she said. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford’s rooms each.As it happens, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. “A ll the patients feel the relief of the pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reaction that she created a non-profit organization, Rooms That Rock Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for an opening ceremony, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she saw what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I’m gonna beat it.’”4.What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?A.Her pity for cancer patients.B.Her passion for room decoration.C.The good relationship with Hufford.D.The request of a nurse in San Francisco.5.What result does Ballard’s efforts bring about?A.More hospitals will be built.B.Hufford cured more patients.C.The cancer patients were feeling better.D.Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good reputation.6.Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?A.Rich and generous. B.Talented and energetic.C.Loving and devoted. D.Ambitious and creative.7.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Battle Against Cancer B.Design for HopeC.Donation for Patients D.Decoration in HospitalOlder adults with a better sense of smell may live longer than those who have a poor sense of smell, a new study suggests. The study was a project of researchers in the United States that was continuing for over 13 years. They asked nearly 2300 men and women to recognize 12 common smells. All the subjects were from 71 to 82 years of age. The researchers gave the adults marks, from 0 to 12, based on how many smells they recognize correctly.During the years of follow-up research, over 1200 of the adults died. When the study was started, none of the adults were weak. They could walk about half a kilometre, climb 10 steps and independently complete daily activities. In the latest findings, the researchers noted those with a weak nose were 30% more likely to die than people with a good sense of smell. Thefindings were reported last month in the scientific publication Annals of Internal Medicine.Honglei Chen, a doctor with Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, was the lead author of the report on the study. He said the connection between a poor sense of smell and an increased risk of dying was limited to adults who first reported good or excellent health. This suggests that a poor sense of smell is an early and sensitive sign of worsening health before it is recognizable in medical tests. With a poor sense of smell, people are more likely to die of brain and heart diseases, but not of cancer or breathing problems.The results also suggest that a poor sense of smell may be an early warning of poor health in older age that goes beyond dementia (痴呆) or other neurodegenerative (神经变性的) diseases. These often signal the beginning of the weakening of the mind or body.8.What do we know about the study in the passage?A.All the adults were in their eighties.B.The adults were young and energetic.C.The study lasted for more than 13 years.D.The study involved international researchers.9.What was the situation like at the beginning of the study?A.Over 1200 of the adults passed away.B.One third of the adults had a poor sense of smell.C.Many of the adults were found with health problems.D.All the adults could perform daily activities independently.10.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.People with a poor sense of smell have heart disease.B.Most older people may have breathing-related disease.C.People with a poor sense of smell won’t suffer from cancer.D.Older people should be careful with their health if they smell poorly.11.What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 1?A.主题B.科目C.实验对象D.绘画或拍摄题材The world’s first hydrogen-powered (氢动力的) trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers on Monday in Germany’s northern Lower Saxony state. The new trains will run 100-kilometre trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers per hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Teams in Germany and France worked together on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel (柴油) trains.The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen with oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwabl, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen-powered trains. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France have already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be on the rails by 2022.12.Why did Germany build the new trains?A.To replace diesel trains.B.To carry more passengers.C.To make traveling much faster.D.To improve the relationship with France.13.What is one advantage (优势) of hydrogen-powered trains over diesel trains?A.They are cheaper to build.B.They cost much less to run.C.They don’t use electrical power.D.They run without making any noise.14.What can we know about hydrogen trains?A.They are widely used nowadays.B.They are environmentally friendly.C.They can contribute to air pollution.D.They can produce water and oxygen.15.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Saving Natural ResourcesB.Efforts to Reduce EmissionsC.A New Way to Make ElectricityD.The World’s First Hydrogen Trains二、七选五Do you think about overseas trip but worry that you might make a less-than-worthy choice because you can’t afford to visit all the places on your wish list before you make your final decision? However, little money doesn’t mean you have to stay at home. 16.Hug the simple joy with travel. 17.Or even climb to the top of a hill and watch the sun set over the ocean. The simple joy of being in a new place is just a matter of going some place new. No tour package required.18.People need fresh air, exercise, creative excitement, a new relationship and so on. All of these things are simple to get and most of them are free. For fresh air, go outside. For exercise, go out for a jog. For creative excitement, go somewhere new, such as a neighbourhood near your accommodation or just a local market. For a new relationship, make friends with the locals. And you can get a better understanding of the native civilization.Go slowly. If you live in New York and want to take a 2-week vacation to Africa, it will be very tough to travel with low cost. Time is not money. 19.Instead of buying a plane ticket, take a train or bus, or just hop your bike and ride away from the town. The slower you travel, the less money you will spend.Try to get your accommodation for free or next-to-nothing. Find kind souls around the world who agree to offer an extra bedroom, sofa, or a corner of the floor to travelers in exchange for the same kindness when they visit your town. This plan involves trading homes for an agreed-on amount of time. 20.A.Time can be free.B.Keep your needs to the lowest degree.C.Walk on the streets of a city and chat with a local.D.Things like air and water are much cheaper once you get outside.E.With a bit of creativity and some tricks, you can travel the world cheaply.F.If you can do what needs to be done around the house, just stay inside for free.G.It works best if your home is in a place someone wants to visit during your vacations.三、完形填空15 years spent in the field of education has provided me with treasured moments. One of the most priceless happened when I was teaching second grade, 10 years ago.In May of the fourth quarter, I decided to 21 something special for the children: A Mother’s Day tea. We put our 22 together to come up with ideas of how to 23 our mothers. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day.

Jimmy served my mom her treats, presented her with the gifts I had made, and pulled out and pushed in her chair, just as we had practised the day before. 31 I looked over, my mom and Jimmy were in 32 conversation.Now, 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I was at a high school to 33 a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. When Jimmy made sure we were the las t two, he said, “Remember our Mother’s Day 34 we had in second grade?

They always are at this time of year. She suggested that we make our booking as soon as possible.M: Well, we’d better do some checking. Do you still have that guide book? What does it say? W: If I remember correctly, it says the cheapest is around $ 35 a day.Text 9M: Hello, we want to book a room, please. Just for the weekend.W: Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights?M: That’s right. We’ll be leaving on Monday morning.W: OK. Single or double?—M: Double, please.W: Would you like a double room on the 6th Floor, facing a park?M: What’s the price?M: Fifty dollars a night.M: Em…A little expensive. Do you have a cheaper one?W: Let me check. Oh, yes, we have a double room on the ground floor without a bath.M: How much then?W: Only thirty dollars a night.M: OK. I’ll take it.Text 10W: Welcome to the United States, ladies and gentlemen. Now I’d like to tell you what you should do if you become ill. If you feel sick and want to see a doctor, check with the manager of the hotel. They may call a doctor for you. American doctors are busy all the time, and it may be difficult to see the doctor immediately. If you have difficulty explaining what is troubling you in English, your tour guide may be able to help you. You may also go to the nearest hospital, especially if you require immediate attention. If you are seriously hurt and you are alone, call 911 and the operator there will get help for you. Don’t be frightened if you’re sent to hospital. In the United States, people are often sent to hospital so that doctors can use special machines and services for tests and treatments. Unluckily, the government does not help pay medical bills.听力答案:1. B2. C3. B4. C5. A6. C7. B8. C9. A 10. A11. B 12. B 13. A 14. C 15.. A16. C 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A阅读答案21 D. 22. D.。

I’ve never been significantly overweight, so people are surprised to hear this. When you think of overeating, you think of someone who is above their natural weight range, right? Well, I used to purposefully undereat as well. I was able to keep my weight within some control, but only through a lot of physical and mental pain.Here’s a glimpse(一瞥)into my life as a first-year university student:Friday: Go to a party and eat a lot of chips. Feel guilty and regretful. Vow(发誓)to wake up and run an extra mile.Saturday: Run 6 miles, come home and only eat a tiny breakfast. Eat like a bird for the rest of the day. Feel proud of myself.Sunday: Study and snack on chocolate chips all day. Feel sick.Monday: Head to class with no snack and no money so that I can’t buy any food. Feel hungry but full of willpower. Go home and overeat at dinner. Feel out of control.My feelings were changing regularly. I was proud and in control one moment, and then full of regret and out of control the next. It was exhausting.As I studied nutrition and human anatomy(人体解剖学)in university, I started to learn just how amazing the human body is! The human body is an amazing, self-regulatory system. It knows exactly how much food it needs. When I learned this, my whole world changed. I stopped trying to manage my eating with willpower. Instead of trying to power through my hunger, I would provide my body with healthy foods, so I would feel hungry less often.This process definitely took some work and reflection, but after a while it became second nature. Eating has become a joyful experience, instead of a source of stress and worry in my life. All my eating is now guilt-free! I shamelessly eat unhealthy snacks without regret. Of course, the majority of my food intake does come from whole, healthy foods that are close to nature.1. What can we know about the author’s weekly life as a freshman?A.Run extra mile on Friday.B.Only eat breakfast on Saturday.C.Eating nothing but chips on Sunday.D.Eat nothing with willpower on Monday.2. What did the author do after studying nutrition and human anatomy?A.She exercised in order to lose weight.B.She began to listen to her body’s needs.C.She stopped eating unhealthy food.D.She started to go on a diet.3.

How does the author develop the text?A.By giving instructions.B.By explaininga process.C.By discussing research findings.D.By sharing a personal experience.3. The livestreaming and fast delivery industry have attracted so many young people that the manufacturing sector(制造业)is short of manpower. “My advice is to encourage more young people to work in the factories and less in the express delivery industry,” Zhang Xinghai, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, said during the ongoing NPC annual session.Zhang wants more young people to work in the factories so that China’s manufacturing sector continues to develop well.Whatever job young people do is a matter of choice, but the manufacturing sector is facing a labor shortage, for too many people prefer jobs in other areas.A survey conducted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the third quarter of 2021 found that of 100 jobs that were facing a manpower shortage, 58 were in the manufacturing sector. By 2025, the shortage in 10 key manufacturing industries could be as high as 30 million.It is time some strong measures were taken to attract people back to the factories. This can be done by raising the salaries(薪水)of factory workers.According to a survey in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, the yearly income of express delivery workers in the city is more than 100,000 yuan($15,831). In contrast, the average monthly salary of those doing blue-collar jobs in Guangdong in 2020 was just 7,108 yuan, or about 84,000 yuan a year. That gap surely needs to be reduced.Besides, the legal rights and interests of those doing blue-collar jobs need to be better protected. Express delivery workers can decide when they want to work, but factory workers have to work whenever the factory demands.Therefore, the authorities should protect factory workers’ rights to weekends, 8-hour working schedules and paid leave.Also, the promotion(晋升)and salary growth structure of factory workers must be clearly planned. In a word, to attract young people back to the factories, it is necessary to make blue-collar jobs more attractive.1. What can we infer from Zhang Xinghai’s words?A.The future of the express delivery sector is hopeless.B.Working in factories in China are attractive to young people.C.Most young people are unwilling to work in the manufacturing sector.D.Working as a delivery man is quite easy for young people.2. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.A lot of jobs in China are facing a manpower shortage.B.Employment rate(雇佣率)in China could be dramatically increased by 2025.C.There are 10 manufacturing sector facing manpower shortage in total.D.The manufacturing sector is facing a serious manpower shortage.3. Which is NOT the reason for manpower shortage in factories?A.Flexible working hours.B.Lower incomes.C.Unclear promotion structure.D.Unprotected legal rights.4. What is the author’s attitude towards the current situation of manufacturing industry?A.Indifferent.B.Concerned.C.Unclear.D.Neutral.4. Life as an astronaut has various unique attractions. This can include experiencing weightlessness and looking back at Earth as a pale blue dot. Food is not among them. Space travelers over the years have become used to certain foods such as freeze-dried ice cream and liquid salt and pepper. Now, the menu is set to be augmented, with the first space-grown lettuce (生菜) found to be as safe, nutritious and fresh as the Earth-grown variety.Gioia Massa of NASA Kennedy Space Center is the lead scientist on the lettuce-growing project. She said that growing food in space could be wonderful for astronauts on missions lasting more than one month. “If you store packaged food for a long time, not only will the f lavour and nutritionalquality decrease, but the vitamins will degrade. After eating such food, astronauts’ intake of nutrition is not ensured,” she said. “Besides, for them, there may also be psychological benefits of growing and looking after plants.Lettuce has been grown in batches (分批) onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The vegetable production system is known as Veggie. It is composed of plant pillows (sealed units containing ceramic soil), LED lighting and a watering system that allows astronauts to inject water through a tube. The lettuce crops grow undisturbed for 33 to 56 days before being harvested and eaten, or deep-frozen and returned to Earth for chemical and biological analysis.The space-grown lettuces are similar in make-up to Earth-grown ones but they have higher levels of bacteria (细菌), possibly due to their growth in a warmer, more humid (潮湿的) and closed-air system. But they are not found to carry any harmful bacteria.NASA is now enlarging the range of produce grown onboard the ISS. It will be quite some time before any vegetables can be transformed into a dish, however. “While we have nowhere to cook up there now, we can look forward to more things that taste fresh,” Massa explained.1. What does the underlined word “augmented” probably mean in Paragraph 1?A.Enlarged.B.Engaged.C.Reduced.D.Measured.2. What do we know about growing space-grown lettuce?A.It’s flavor and nutritional quality decline.B.It is terrible for astronauts on missions.C.It can contribute to astronauts’ mental health.D.It will make sure the astronauts’ intake of nutrition.3. What can we infer from the text?A.Lettuces will be grown in batches onboard.B.The vegetable production system consists of three parts.C.It will take at least 56 days to harvest the space-grown lettuce crop.D.Thanks to growing environment, the space-grown lettuces don’t contain any harmfulbacteria.4. What does Massa mainly intend to explain in the last paragraph?A.The difficulty in growing produce onboard.B.The necessity to enlarge the space onboard.C.The desire to enjoy cooked vegetables onboard.D.The expectation to enrich the variety of produce grown onboard.5. Many people were never taught how to express their emotions. Because they do not know how to express them, they end up repressing(压抑) their emotions instead. For people who have gone through painful life situations, they can end up engaging in unhealthy behaviours to avoid expressing their emotions, such as performing self-injuries or developing eating disorders. 1 Here is how to express emotions.●Recognize the importance of expressing emotions.2 For example, many people who struggle with ongoing depression or anxiety are often actually angry. Because the unexpressed anger has nowhere to go, the person experiences the emotion as depression or anxiety. If you want to take control over your emotional life, you need to first recognize that it is important to express your emotions.●Label your emotions appropriately.Many people who have never learned how to express their emotions have a difficult time even labeling what those emotions are. Some people might feel anger when the emotion that they are actually dealing with is pain. Others might cry and feel sad in situations in which anger is really the more appropriate(合适的) emotion. 3●Express your anger physically.Anger can be a frightening emotion for many people to express. Anger is best expressed physically, especially if you have a lot of repressed anger to process. 4 Some good ways to express anger include punching pillows, hitting the ground with a baseball bat, popping balloons or going for a walk.● 5Tears really do heal a wounded spirit. However, many people have a hard time expressing their sorrow. Try watching a sad movie and allowing yourself to cry for the characters. You will feel much better after a good cry.6.

辽宁五校协作体高一下期中考试英语卷

2020-2021学年辽宁五校协作体高一下期中考试英语卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave(洞穴). But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be "Who did this?"This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons.Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags(雄鹿)and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (两只角的) animal.To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and a bird.Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.1.The author uses the word "you" in the first paragraph to _____.A.pull the reader into the storyB.make it clear that this is a true storyC.give the reader good directions to find the cavesD.compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people2.Most of the drawings in the caves are about _____.A.boys B.tools C.dead men D.animals 3.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Cave paintings are beautiful.B.Who found the beautiful cave paintings.C.The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings.D.Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves.Here's one very simple but lifechanging piece of advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy.

Too many unhealthy foods. Too many ads for food. Too few activities. Different reasons are given for America’s weight problem---a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been asked to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. However, a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in P.E. classes. Researchers say one possible reason for this is a decrease in the number of school nurses. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital. Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also increase the risks, says Cheryl Richardson, who is with the National Association for Sport and PhysicalEducation(NASPE).She also says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study’s findings –that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, rugby and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision(监督). The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit. 12.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.What leads to the weight problem in America.B.Whether students should have more P.E. classes.C.Why there have been more injuries in P.E. classes.D.What kinds of activities are safe for school students.13.We can know from the third paragraph that__________.A.nurses are paid more in hospitals than in schools in America.B.many nurses in American schools don’t have good skills.C.fewer people choose to become a nurse in America.D.American schools need more school nurses at present.14.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.P.E. classes become more dangerous for students now in America.B.Fewer and fewer students are interested in P.E. classes in America.C.The number of P.E. teachers in schools must be increased now.D.P.E. classes follow the traditional ideas in physical education.15.According to Cheryl Richardson,____________.A.students should do more exercise when they are at schoolB.teachers are partly responsible for injuries in P.E. classesC.the equipment for P.E. classes must be improved in all schools.D.P.E. teachers should give students more freedom in their classes二、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, Ican’t peel(去皮) potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for any thing again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her determined look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. On the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She sto od by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow (肘). Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung (梯级) I reached.I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom,”I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn't hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking.

Many people work togetherto bring a play to life. There are playwrights, directors, set designers, costumers, lighting technicians, and, of course, actors. If the performamce is a musical, the skills of a songwriter, a choreographer, and musicians are also required. The excitement of opening night can be felt by the people waiting to watch a performance and by the performers and workers backstage waiting for the curtain to go up. Live theater is thrilling because no one really knows how well the play will go until it is performed.The word theater comes from the Greek theatron, which means “a place for seeing”. One concept from Greek theater that is still seen in some plays today is the “Greek Chorus”. This consists of several actors or characters watching the action of the play ( almost like the audience ) and then commenting on what they just saw with either reactions or dialogue.Although most people think of the theater in terms of a play performed on the stage, theater has taken on a much broader meaning in the modern world. You may find yourself walking into a theater with no seats in the rows. Instead, you are seated among the set pieces, which makes you part of the setting.

When Lin Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics e to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.But things are different now.

In several cases they result in pneumonia(肺炎)and even death in the worst cases. Flu has seasonal ups and downs. Although it can exist all year round,the virus infects more people in winter and spring.

辽宁省六校协作体最新高一下学期期中考试英语试卷word版(有答案)

2018-2019学年度下学期省六校协作体高一期中考试英语试题考试时间:100分钟分数:120分折合成150分第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)AHere are two letters from our readers expressing their concern aboutschool assessment.Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades . Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed ongrades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena Smith,PresidentDrama ClubLet’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon Harper,Member,21.Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who .A.insists grades should become optional in the near futureB.is concerned about improving students’ creativityC.supports using students’ interests to measure their abilitiesD.believes in the advantages of assessment based on grades22.Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for .A. educators to assess the students by gradesB. students to take part in music, drama, and sportsC. students to compete for better gradesD. educators to pay more attention to grades23.According to the letters, which of the following is true about Village High School? ______A. Grades are still in use at present..B. Grades hold back students’ creativity.C. Grades bring about unnecessary competition.D. Grades are effective in every way24.What are the two letters mainly about? ________A. The reasons why grades shouldn’t be used to assess students.B. The importance of art and music in students’ life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students’ success.D. The role that grades should play in assessing students.BOn the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady staring at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!”and she gave me a giant hug. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”I grinned(露齿而笑),“I mean, seriously, why?”I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to take on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus symbol and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention she received from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is only one secret to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You’ve got to have a dream. When youlose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,”she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing“The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.25. What can we know about Rose from the passage?A. serious and hard-workingB. honest and optimisticC. humorous and popularD. crazy and brave26. what motivated Rose to go to college at the age of 87?A. That she wanted to realize her dream.B. That she wanted to meet a rich husband.C. That she loved to stay with the young.D. That she planned to grow up27. According to her speech, ____.A. whenever you have a dream, you’ll succeedB. all people don’t grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. time isn’t important especially for the elderly people.28. What is the purpose of the passage ?A. to encourage us to live with our dreamB. to tell us it is never too late to learnC. to advise us to be happy every dayD. to recommend us to find secrets of staying youngCWhen I came to China a little over two years ago, at the height of Shanghai’s summer season, I was spending summer in ways I never had before —indoors, absolutely 100% indoors. I had, of course, discovered something called Ele.me as well as Taobao and AliPay. It was like a dream cometrue, and I spent a week like that before going outside.Once outside, I realized how simple life could be —with some of my indoor habits. Namely, I didn’t need cash. Gone was the trouble of having to find and carry change. All it took was a quick scan of a QR code and money-switched hands. However, as I grew more and more comfortable with this lifestyle, I came to realize how much more isolated I was from my fellow human beings. Instead of the few extra seconds of human interaction you get when a cashier counts out your change, you get a machine that beeps and tells you your transaction(交易) has gone through.Furthermore, I realized that an entire generation was left behind. Most people my grandparents’age don’t know how to use a smartphone, let alone mobile payment. How upset they must feel when they are turned away from a shop that only accepts Alipay and WeChat Pay!Despite these weaknesses, mobile payment has indeed made our lives vastly easier. The youth are accepting it. However, with money easily moving around with the touch of a button, we are slowly gaining a wrong impression of its value. One can often hear stories of how a child might rack up (累积) huge bills on their parents’credit cards by buying items while playing a game on an iPad or iPhone. We may feel the same way when walking past a shop on the way home —a few yuan spent there can’t hurt, right? Compare that feeling to handing over paper money, and you might realize how much easier it is to let go of money when you aren’t actually holding it.Mobile payment is an important aspect of our generation. However, we must acknowledge the problems that come with it. In the end, we must come to define it rather than let it define us.29.According to the author, in summer, life outside can be much simpler with the help of ____.A. air-conditioningB. Ele.me and TaobaoC. mobile paymentD. QR codes30.According to the author, what problems may come with mobile payment?① A lack of human interaction.②Increasing risks of theft.③ A wider generation gap.④Wrong impressions of money value.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author had never tried mobile payment before moving to China.B. Mobile payment requires a scan of a QR code.C. In some shops in China, customers can now pay using only mobile payment.D. The author thinks we should stop mobile payment from developing further.DAlways Remember Your “Initial(最初的)Wishes”The primary message coming out of the recently completed 19th National Congress of the CPC(中国共产党十九大) in Beijing consists of two parts. The first is that the party is entering a “new age” and the second is the need to focus on the “initial wishes” that established the CPC’s beginning. In other words, although life today is much more different than that in the past, people should not forget the “goals” of the past.The pioneers who founded the CPC almost one hundred years ago were living in difficult and dangerous times. But all of them were committed to making life better for their countrymen. Their goals were to make China more egalitarian (人人平等的), peaceful and prosperous. Most of those goals have been achieved, but according to President Xi, there is still work to be done and people should be guided by the “initial wishes” of the founders.T he idea of “initial wishes” can also be useful in your personal life. Young people are always encouraged to set goals for the future. But life is not simple; it’s full of complexities, struggle s and frustrations, and it may leav e you wondering what your “initial wishes” are and why they are so important.Take for example a young person who wants to become a doctor and help cure sick people. After many years of study and several years of practice, he finds that he is working long hours for little money. Worse still, many patients don’t appreciate his effort s; they only criticize and complain. We have even seen incidents of doctors being physically attacked by their patients. It’s easy then for that young doctor to become pessimistic and lose his goal.But the ones who are persistent are the ones who change the world and they are the ones who understand that true happiness in life comes from being selfless, not selfish. That young doctor, for example, will remain true to his goal by remembering the “initial wishes” of why he became a doctor — to help people.I hope that you, too, can hold firm to your “initial wishes” — no matter where you go and what you do.32.Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase in the paragraph two?A. were addicted toB. were devoted toC. were accustomed toD. were used to33.According to the article, what are the CPC’s “initial wishes”?A. To help China enter a new era.B. To help its countrymen achieve their goals.C. To make China more egalitarian, peaceful and prosperous.D. To end the difficult and dangerous times its founders were living in.34. According to the author, it could be difficult for one to accomplish his “initial wishes” because____.A. some “initial wishes” are unrealisticB. life is full of difficulties and strugglesC. there are too many pessimistic peopleD. many people do things just to help themselves35.What does the author mainly want to prove by mentioning the young doctor in the article?A. The bitter life of young doctors.B. The real sources of happiness in life.C. The difficulties of h olding firm to one’s “initial wishes.”D. The importance of “initial wishes.”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。

About 230 whales beached themselves on the western part of the Australian island of Tasmania. It is the second such incident in recent days. At least half are alive and animal officials are working to rescue them. They are trying to understand why the whales got stuck.The whales are stuck on Ocean Beach near Macquarie Harbor in the western part of Tasmania. About two years ago, 470 whales became stuck on sand in the same area. That time, about 100 whales were saved but the rest died.The whales are pilot whales, which weigh between 1,000 and 2,000 kilograms and measure over 6 meters. Pilot whales are the species that most often get stuck in large numbers. Some scientists believe it is because they travel in large groups and follow a leader.A team from the Marine Conservation Program was heading to the area to help the whales. The harbor does not have deep water and its entrance is known by locals as Hell’s Gate.Linton Kringle is a salmon farmer who once helped with the rescue in 2020. He told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation this year’s work would be more difficult. That time, he said that the whales were in the harbor, so people could reach them easily on boats. This time, they are outside of the safe area, on a beach, whic h means it will be harder to get boats near them. “It’s too shallow (浅的) and too rough. My thoughts would be to try to get them onto a vehicle if we can’t get them swim out,” Kringle added.Vanessa Pirotta is a wildlife scientist who studies animals like whales and dolphins. She said the fact that the whales have gotten stuck around the same place during the same part of the year, suggesting there might be something environmental here.1.

It is very important to stay healthy. A lot of people aren’t aware of many benefits of daily exercise and only begin to do so when health complications (并发症) happen. Why then is it important to stay healthy?Regular exercises will help you bum extra body fat and keep your body vigorous. There are many health complications related to having too much body fat. Heart diseases that are often very deadly are mostly a result of extra body fat.Exercising keeps you sharp at all times. Keeping your body active also improves the functioning of the brain. Any kind of exercise is terrific. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good health, such as, basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. There is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. Maybe the reason why you stay angry easily all the time is due to lack of exercise. Fitness exercises are ideal for strength building. Regular daily exercise will build body muscles and improve your physical strength. They are also important in strengthening your back for good postures. People generally become less active as they grow older, especially when they have small kids that expect to play with them. Daily fitness will help you get the much needed strength and activity to keep up with the youthful energy of your children. Exercising also slows down the aging process by tightening your skin and increasing your body’s metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate.Exercising is very important and some of the results of not joining in daily fitness are dangerous. Having fitness goals that actually mean something to you will help you develop a controlled daily fitness and achieve your desired result. These are just some of the benefits of having a strong fitness program. Many people ignore them and just begin to suffer from lifestyle diseases in their later lives. Exercise is very significant.1.

D.Why do people go to gymnasium toexercise?4. A seven-word sentence was discovered on a 3,700-year-old comb (梳子),which is likely the oldest known sentence written in letters,according to a new study. The sentence is in Canaanite (迦南语),which is the source (来源) of later letter systems in European languages.The comb was first discovered in 2016 in Israeli. However,it wasn’t until 2021 that a researcher from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem first noticed the words when checking the photo of the comb. The researchers were not able to directly date the comb. They believed it dated from around 1700 BC based on comparison of the letters with those on pottery (陶器) with a known age. Garfinkel,a professor at the Hebre w University of Jerusalem,said,“The Canaanites invented the letters. Nowadays every person in the world can read and write using the letter system. This is really one of the most important achievements of humankind. When you are writing in English,you’rer eally using Canaanite.”Small groups of Canaanite letters discovered on broken pieces of pottery before did not leave much room for further research on the lives of the Canaanites. But this find of a sentence written in the first letter-based language opens up the debate about the history during the ancient time period. Garfinkel said,“The sentence was found on an ivory comb in the ancient city’s palace and temple area,which could suggest that only wealthy men were able to read and write.” The earliest writ ing system started around 5,000 years ago,which relied on hundreds of pictographs (象形文字) to represent words,ideas and sounds. Canaanites were the first to use letters in their writing system. “It shows that even in the most ancient times there were full sentences,which further suggests that Canaanites stood out among the early civilizations in their use of the written word.”1. What do we know about Canaanite?A.It has a history of 3,700 years. B.It is the oldest known language.C.Its sentences are in many languages. D.Its letters are still in use at present.2. How was the complete sentence in Canaanite found?A.It was discovered on some pottery. B.It was identified on a comb in 2016.C.It was recognized when dating the comb. D.It was recognized on a photo of the comb.3. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?B.The rules of using Canaanite letters.C.The problem in identifying the Canaanite sentence.D.The explanation of the discovered Canaanite sentence.4. What does Garfinkel think of the new discovery in the last paragraph?A.Useless. B.Meaningful. C.Confusing. D.Unacceptable. 5. If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. 1Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations center around themselves and they tend to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. 2 Give others a chance to speak their minds and do your best to show that you’re really listening.3 Imagining yourself in their situation helps you understand them better. If your friend is telling you about something that happened to him or her and you just don’t feel engaged (吸引住), it can help to imagine how you would feel in his or her situation. Try asking yourself how you would feel and what you would need if you were him or her. Then, keep those things in mind when you respond to your friend.Use fewer “I” and “me” statements. Fight the strong wish to talk about yourself in every conversation. It’s an easy habit to get into, but you can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively reduce the number of “I” and “me” statements you make in daily conversation. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier. 4Learn how to compromise (妥协). 5 Compromising means choosing to believe another person’s needs and desires are just as important as your own. Instead of demanding your way during a disagreement comes, try meeting the other person halfway so that each person gets some of their needs met.6. A 23-year-old woman just set a record for the fastest solo row across the Atlantic. Departing from the Canary Islands, Payne rowed 59 days, before arriving in Antigua. The _________ achievement was made for a charity. More than $14,200 was raised to help people _________.The challenge was described as one of the hardest ones on Earth.

According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate(暗示) that people who jog at a proper pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structuralchanges to the heart and arteries(动脉). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said if your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy(预期寿命), jogging a few times a week at a proper pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and may be harmful.Moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis, Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good influence on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much.”4. What does the underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Regular.B.Hard.C.Practical.D.Flexible.5. Why does the author present some figures in Paragraph 2?A.To suggest giving up jogging.B.To show risks of doing sports.C.To provide supportive evidence.D.To introduce the research process.6. According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?A.It may injure the heart and arteries.B.It can make the body tired out.C.It will bring much pressure.D.It consumes too much energy.7. What can be inferred from the text?A.No exercise at all is the best choice.B.More exercise means a healthier life.C.Marathons runners are least likely to die.D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe (行头) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career (职业) choices finally lifted me into the middle class. I found myself living the American Dream.One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (摧残者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?”The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir.” While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him.8. Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid?A.His mum bought them for him.B.They were from other families.C.Other poor kids collected them for him.D.They were handed down by his brothers.9. Which word best describes the author’s childhood?A.Painful.B.Funny.C.Strange.D.Lucky.10. What job did Charlie probably do?A.A hairdresser.B.A waiter.C.A soldier.D.A cook.11. What is the best title of the passage?A.Live your own American Dream.B.Best memories in childhood.C.Don’t hate but love your enemy.D.Growing up and letting goWhen it comes to the ACT(American College Test) vs. the SAT'(Scholastic Aptitude Test), both exams are widely accepted by U.S. colleges. It often leads students to ask: Which test should I take? The answer to that question lies in understanding the differences between the two tests.Both college admissions exams are wildly popular. In the class of 2019, a reported 2.2 million test-takers completed the SAT while 1.8 million students took the ACT. It is unclear how many students took both, but experts say it is common practice for a test-taker to deal with both exams. “More and more students in the last 5 to 10 years are taking both, ” says Joe Korfmacher, director of an admissions consulting company. But despite this, the tests vary in structure and timing as well as the content matter and scoring.Students hoping to find the easier testing option are out of luck. These are high-stakes tests; neither of them is going to be easy. To help students make their decision, experts suggest they begin with a practice test and see which exam is best suited for them. The two exams may have appeal to different types of students. Experts advise that students with a strong English background may choose the ACT, which puts more emphasis on verbal skills. But for students who are strong in math, the SAT may reflect that much better.The SAT costs $49.50 for the test only and $64.50 if the optional essay-is included. The ACT costs $52 for only the exam and $68 if the optional writing test is included. Additional fees may apply for other options, such as late registration.Regardless of which test students decide to take, the idea behind both exams is similar: to demonstrate college readiness. To help students be successful, experts offer strategic test-prep tips. Some are simple, such as bringing a snack on the test day and taking breaks when offered. Others require much more time and deliberation on the part of the student, such as identifying and working on weak spots in testing.12. What do we know about the applicants for the ACT and SAT?A.They mostly take the exams to demonstrate their language skills.B.A majority of them come from English-speaking countries.C.They usually prefer taking the ACT rather than the SAT.D.A growing number of them take both of the exams.13. Which of the following will experts agree with?A.The ACT is more difficult to sign up for.B.Students should place emphasis on English.C.Students should take as many practice tests as possible.D.The SAT is more suitable for students doing well in math.14. How much should an applicant taking both the exams without the writing parts pay?A.$101.5.B.$114.C.$118.5.D.$120.15. What is a suitable title for the text?A.The ACT vs. the SAT: Which Test to ChooseB.How to Be Successful on the ACT and SATC.Application Processes for Studying AbroadD.Advice on Taking College Admissions ExamsNowadays, many people do not have the time to even take a deep breath. ___16___ Here is a list of some productive things to do in your free time.Settle your house. ___17___ There is a common saying. “A clean home is a happy home.” Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a housekeeper, you can always do such things on your own.

AOn the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it!Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, I've been elected(选举)vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”,an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.21. The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________. A.he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB.his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC.he was unable to work out the puzzleD.his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry22. From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.A.he didn't know the right way to classB.he got to school before classes beganC.he was fond of the school immediately.D.his home was far from the school23. After his first week at school, the author ________.A.was still not accustomed to the scheduleB.was gradually used to the new schoolC.found high school not so challenging as he had imaginedD.ran for monitor of his class against three other students24. According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.A.making more friendsB.getting more A's at schoolC.being who he really isD.joining in out of class activitiesBLiving in the wild can be hard.Finding food and staying safe aren't easy.Each day, animals try to survive in their habitats.Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals.These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships.In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other.One animal helps the other meet its needs.Sounds good, right? Not always.Some animals are not very kind to their partners.In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.Take ticks(扁虱), for example.These insects suck blood to live.To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.Ticks can pass germs(细菌)that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly.Both animals benefit from living with the other animal.Small animals called cleaner shrimps(清洁虾)have found a way of helping fish.As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish.They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station.A fish stops by.Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth.The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body.That can include dead skin and tiny pieces of food that can hurt the fish.The fish gets a nice cleaning.The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.Small birds called plovers(灰斑)are also in the cleaning business.They have big customers-crocodiles.Crocodiles have long noses filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is funny. When a crocodile opens its mouth, the plover hops right in.It lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to thecrocodile's teeth.The plover gets an easy meal while the crocodile gets clean teeth.25 The text is mainly about ________.A.the hard life in the wildB.some dangerous animalsC.animals living togetherD.animals in a symbiotic relationship26. According to the text, in a symbiotic relationship, ________.A.animals depend on each otherB.birds depend on animals for foodC.both sides can get helpD.not all animals treat their partners well27. According to the text, it can be inferred that ________.A.living in the wild can be simpleB.different animals have different living waysC.crocodiles mainly live on ploversD.ticks are useful to some animalsCHumans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent whi le shooting off emails or texts. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture(姿势).The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎);a 30 degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. Though it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.28. Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.A. the social media have its bad sideB. the social media have made a great successC. people have to use social media unavoidablyD. more and more people are using smart phones29. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.D. The more you bend your neck, the more stresses your spine gets.30. Where does the text most probably come from?A. A text book.B. An advertisement.C. A health report.D. A book review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。
