Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

The kindness from other cyclists.CHundreds of thousands of lives were saved in 2017 alone because of the improvement of the environment, according to a new research. Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

I went climbing with a millennial(千禧一代).She is younger, fitter, braver and more energetic. I am good at getting discouraged, having a rest and giving advice from the sidelines. She will cling(附着于)on to a wall like a small monkey trying to escape certain death, while I will get near the top, realize how high that is and lose my nerve. Together we could make an impressive(感人的;令人钦佩的) team, me at the bottom of the wall, going, "That's great, try using your feet one by one. Oh...What did you do that for?" And her going, "Shall we try that again so we've actually done it? Do you think we should have warmed up first?"Climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it. I climbed more often before I did the crazy running activity and used to think of the green runs at my local center as being for children, or for a warm-up. Now I find them extremely hard, and the purple is my top-of-the-tree, when in fact they are both for beginners, really. I suspect the millennial of avoiding the blue-with-red-spots just so as to not show me up.It wasn't her first time climbing, but she wasn't registered at the center, so she had to go through a process that sounds threatening: watching a video and answering questions on it (the answers are always "I am responsible for my own safety in the center" and Holds may spin"). In an older person-me, for instance-any activity that starts with a reflection on your own death is a little low-energy, whereas she seemed quite excited by it.We both laughed at each other's clothing: she accused me of having, a pink T-shirt which seemed too lovely for me, while she was dressed to be a labourer. The moral is that you can basically wear anything while you climb. It's not like running, where the ill-dressed are chased from the area by a thousand eyes.1. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the author and the millennial .A.know each other very well B.try to learn how to escape deathC.form a sharp contrast D.make a team that beats others2. By “climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it” the author means______.A.climbing does good to musclesB.climbing needs practicing regularlyC.climbing muscles are as useful as other musclesD.climbing muscles won’t be lost even if not used3. The question the millennial was required to answer were admitted to .A.let the climbers realize the climbing might be dangerousB.give the climbers another approach to think of deathC.warn the climbers against loss of energy in the processD.remind the climbers of the importance of registration4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Climbers need to wear special clothes.B.Ill-dressed runners stand out improperly.C.Climbers need to get a certificate before climbing.D.The author and millennial like making fun of others.3. In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t, pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.1. People will feel happy, according to the author's findings, when __________.A.they offer their help to others B.they receive others’ helpC.they feel others’ kindness to them D.they show their weakness to other people 2. Why does the author feel sad sometimes?A.Because he has a soft heart, showing sympathy to others.B.Because he is disabled and relies much on others.C.Because some people pretend to be kind, but in fact they are not.D.Because some people fail to see the kindness in others.3. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A.They sped up to pass because they didn’t want to wait.B.They stopped their cars to offer help.C.丁hey put on their flashlights too.D.They waited with patience.4. In this passage, the author advises us to _________.A.be independent of others and handle problems by ourselvesB.accept help from others for everythingC.admit our weaknessD.show our bravery4. Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture. " Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.In cities, “you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," A rlotta said. “ Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best. "Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. ”My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need. " She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. “This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets,food trucks, and then you recycle. "1. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?A.Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.B.There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.C.They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.D.Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.B.Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.C.Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.D.The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.3. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?A.Confident.B.Doubtful.C.Worried.D.Ambiguous.4. What is the best title for the text?A.Rainwater Necessity for Plant LifeB.Green Roofs-The Future of Urban AgricultureC.The United States' Agriculture ProgramD.Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise5. Last week the electricity in my flat went out. 1 My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media. Tonight this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity.So for me it was an early night, 2 That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary.3 And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.4 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it.How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. 5 So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. And if everyone does it, we can make a big difference.6. On a raining day, I wen t to buy some aspirin.

安徽省合肥市六校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷(含答案)
安徽省合肥市六校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.Danyang-Kunshan Grand BridgeNo bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China operates as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.Rio-Niteroi BridgeCompleted in 1974,the Rio-Niteroi Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niteroi across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niteroi Bridge is technically known as a "box-girder(箱形梁)" bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more)vehicles per day.Hartland Covered BridgeThe Hartland Covered Bridge is the world's longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada's list of National Historic Sites since 1980.Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.Jiaozhou Bay BridgeThe newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named "world's longest bridge over water" by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011,a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of "longest continuous bridge over water" was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of "longest bridge over water".1.On which of the following can trains pass?A.Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.B.Rio-Niteroi Bridge.C.Hartland Covered Bridge.D.Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.2.What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge?A.It is a busy bridge.B.It was once built.C.It has a roof.D.It is a wooden bridge.3.Where can you find the longest bridge over water?A.In America.B.In Brazil.C.In Canada.D.In China.I fell into love with shopping at the age of 10. After a short time being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户).On December 9, 2022, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices.Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help.I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it.4.At first, __________ helped her make money by selling things.A. the girl’s fatherB. the girl’s motherC. the girl’s teacherD. a single lady5.The writer went to the garage sale to __________.A. meet single ladiesB. buy things for her resale shopC. help othersD. sell things she no longer needed6.The author decided to help the lady sell her things because __________.A. the lady’s items were niceB. the lady’s items were of good qualityC. the lady lived a hard lifeD. the lady asked the author for help7.The lady felt so __________for what the author had done for her.A. disappointedB. amazedC. proudD. appreciativeMy husband Wu and I ,together with our two dogs, have spent several years living in an RV (野营车) — calling it home and driving it all around China.Wu and I had just sold our house outside of Hefei, Anhui and moved to a town in Yunnan. Though we enjoyed our new place, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one.We bought the first RV in July 2020 and by September of that year we were already considering living in it full time. Wu and I love traveling and being “location independent,” and our jobs allow us to work from anywhere. At first it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2023, we never looked back.I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages” is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地).The biggest “disadvantage” is the planning. That’s necessary. You do have to plan ahead where you are going to park because sometimes places are full. As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV ev ery once in a while, or move a little slower.8.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author and her husband?A. How they went on holiday in an RV.B. Where they traveled in their RV.C. Why they bought their first RV.D. How they gave up their house to get an RV. 9.What did the author and her husband do in February 2023?A. They moved to a new city and found new jobs.B. They sold their first RV.C. They rebuilt their house in Yunnan.D. They began living in their RV full time.10.What does the author think of her lifestyle?A. It is busy and challenging.B. It is comfortable and satisfying.C. It still needs some changes.D. It has made her more independent. 11.What does the author suggest RVers do?A. Slow down and relax on the road.B. Head for thinly populated places.C. Try new types of RVsD. Avoid making many plans ahead.Finland’s education system is considered one of the best in the world. Finland(芬兰) is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singaporeand South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?Until the 1960s Finland’s school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private (私人的) schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to reform and modernize (使现代化) their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive.Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate (比率) in the European Union.12.What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s?A. They encouraged students to go to private school.B. They lengthened preschool education.C. They reformed the school system.D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries.13.We can learn from the text that ________.A. the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of sixB. the children in Finland are educated equallyC. the school system in Finland is better than that in SingaporeD. the school equipment in Finland doesn’t meet international standards14.The author mentions Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea to show ________.A. the school system in Finland has been very successfulB. Asian countries are successful in school educationC. students in these places are better than those in European countriesD. the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world15.What can be the best title for the text?A. What Differences European Schools HaveB. Why Finland’s School System Has ChangedC. What Good Schools Provide Students WithD. Why Finland’s School System Is Successful二、七选五16.Being Positive Is A ChoiceAs we all know, no job is always ideal and we often face obstacles that can impact our mood at work. ①_____ but I think that being a positive person is a choice we can make.

A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog's skin, a gift the man readily accepted.“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart says.Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it, "he told .Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.There's a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don't ever want to have to turn anybod y away,” he explains.“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it's the right thing to do, that's huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.4.

Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study. At first, Martin Pielot from telecommunications firm Telefonica in Spain, and Luz Rello of Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to last their Do Not Disturb challenge across a whole week-—but they couldn’t find anyone to take part for that length of time. “We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers. Pielot and Rello found that the responses (反应) to a day away from notifications were different a lot: for people who didn’t check their phones that much anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal. But for those whose f riends, bosses, and co-workers expect quick replies, the study brought on some extra stress and anxiety.For 9 participants, the Do Not Disturb challenge brought on extra feelings of missing out on something, such as a message from a friend or a package delivery (递送). At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off. Some participants felt less connected to their social groups as a result of the Do Not Disturb challeng e, so there’s a lot to take in from the study: it shows how phone notifications interrupt (打断) us, and how they connect us to others and enable us to manage social expectations.On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.8. What can we learn from Pielot’s words?A.Few people are interested in the experiment.B.Most people overly depend on their cell phones.C.People can get paid for taking part in the challenge.D.The participants can bear no phone notifications for one week.9. What’s the response of most participants to the experiment?A.More happiness. B.Some extrastress. C.Nothingdifferent.D.Higherproductivity.10. How do the researchers feel about the result of the experiment?A.Pleased. B.Moved. C.Doubtful. D.Regretful.11. What’s the purpose of the research?A.To show those not using phones live longer.B.To find out how to get rid of phones in the long run.C.To examine the influence of turning off phone notifications.D.To explore how a day without phones affects people’s habits.Have you heard of the term “tweenager”? It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way?Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media- and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication (老于世故) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.So what does tweenage fashion look like? It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services to children.12. What is the use of the first paragraph?A.To explain a concept and bring up the topic.B.To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.C.To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.D.To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.13. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?A.Because children education is becoming more important.B.Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.C.Because it is better to study music from an early age.D.Because more companies are creating products and services.14. What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Keep company. B.Reward. C.Make up. D.Motivate.15. Why do tweenagers pay more attention to their appearance?A.They are afraid of being laughed at by others.B.They have less freedom than previous generations.C.They wish to become successful and famous quickly.D.They are encouraged to be like adults at a young age.Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with StressIf you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. 16 The following stress management tips can help you do that.Get movingWhen you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. 17 You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.Connect to othersThere is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress.18 . And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.19When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. 20Our son, Tom, was different from others, because he was born with a serious brain disease.

04 七选五专练(解析版)-2020-2021学年上学期高一英语期末专项训练
高一上学期期末专项训练4 七选五01Things I Wish I'd Known in High SchoolSometimes high school seems like a necessary evil. Now at the end of my college journey, I know that there are still more things I could have done to make my high school experience more beneficial.1Take a class that scares you during high school. The experience will definitely prepare you for future academic challenges.Don't worry about your grades too much. Getting a B is not the end of the world. 2I have started college with all A's since seventh grade, and it was hard to deal with not being able to repeat that. I stayed away from taking some harder courses I might have done well in because I was afraid of doing poorly. Now, I can fully accept that if I try my best in at least one harder class and get a B+, that is still something to be proud of.Find your own de-stressing(解压) routine. Another essential skill to begin building in high school is how to manage work and stress. Maybe you deal with stress by going for a run, or watching a silly movie. Talk with a friend for a while or play with your dog.3Spend your summers wisely. Don't take on a full-time job the first summer you decide to work.4Do find something to do that will make the ten weeks worthwhile. Look for programs that take you to interesting places, or a job that will give you insights into something you might be interested in.Finally, remember to have fun. Your life does not depend on high school. 5You will have plenty of time to work hard in college and beyond. Be prepared, but don't stress out too much about it. If you can make your high school experience fun, you will have no problem doing the same for your life in college and beyond.A.In fact, it's a kind of good thing.B.Take full advantage of your brain.C.You do have to be active in making friends.D.Do your best, but leave time for fun with friends.E.They will be improved if you make great efforts.F.Find out what relaxes you, and you will feel less stressed.G.Forty hours a week will be a huge shock and you'll have plenty of time for that in the future.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.答案[语篇解读]作者讲述了上高中应该做的几件事。

France in 1564.when King Charles changed the yearly calendar.He moved New Year's Day from April 1 to January I Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems then.Some people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1.Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them.In the United State, April Fools' Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks on friends.These kinds of jokes are also called pranks(恶作剧).These jokes typically end in the prankster shouting “April Fools”!Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still common.But major companies also get in on April Fools' Day in a much bigger way.A few years ago,on April 1,Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes-plenta and Micra.The very large cups,bigger than a human head,remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee.According to Starbucks,the cups could be used as a rain hat,a pot for plants,or a lampshade.It did not take long for customers to catch on to the prank.More and more people use media or smartphone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools' Day.One very annoying smartphone

will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people.Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers.Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes.Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking.But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer.They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)----it will always be there,even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side:the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.28.The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .A.introduce the topic of the passageB.give an exampleC.make an argumentD.show the main idea of the passage29.Most genetic changes happen because of___________.A.people’s condition at birthB.people’s bad living habitC.environmental pollutionD.heart disease and cancer30.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to__________ .A.the footprintB.the cementC.the harmful effectD.the genetic change31.Which of the following statements is true?A.The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B.The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingC.The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.D.The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.DThere are various ways in which to read body language so that you can understand how someone is feeling. Reading emotional clues (线索)is one of them.Crying is considered to be caused by an explosion of emotion in most cultures.Often times crying is considered a sign of sadness,but crying can also be an expression of happiness.Crying can also come about through laughter and humor.Thus,when judging crying,you'll need to look for other signs to determine the meaning of the crying.Crying can also be forced in order to gain sympathy or to cheat others.This practice is known as "crocodile tears",an expression that draws on the wrong idea that crocodiles"cry" when catching prey(猎物).Signs of threat include v-shaped eye brows, wide eyes, and an open or down-turned mouth.In a similar way, arm tightly crossed over the other is a common sign that the person is angry and is closing himself off to you.When people show anxiety, they display increased facial movements, and their mouth made into a thin line. Individuals who are anxious may also play with their hands, unable keep them in one spot.Anxiety can also or have nervous legs.It can be conveyed when people seemingly unconsciously(无意识地)tap their feet or have nervous legs.Embarrassment can be expressed by turning the eyes or shifting them away.If someone looks down at the floor a lot,they are probably shy,afraid,or embarrassed.People also tend to look down when they are upset,or trying to hide something emotional.People are often thinking and feeling unpleasant emotions when they are in the process of staring at the ground.There are also some signs of pride.People show pride by displaying a small smile,holding their head backward,and putting their hands on their hips.32.In what situation may one have"crocodile tears"?A.When he is sad.B.When he cheats others.C.When he supports others.D.When he is angry.33.What might a man do when angry?A.Shape his eye brows into a"w".B.Sigh heavily.C.Cross his arms tightly.D.Open his eyes wide.34.What do we know about the emotional clues in the text?A.They are good for people's health.B They can be controlled well be humans.C.They usually express positive emotions.D.Most of them show negative feeling.35.What is the best title for the passage?A.How to use body languages?B.What are body languages?C.What expressive emotions we have?D.How to read emotional clues?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。

Meet 73-year-old Catia Lattouf, an eager bird lover who has turned her apartment into a home for these tiny, lively birds.In a city where green spaces are not enough, and c ity wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf’s love for hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends. The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf’s computer screen while she worked.“It was a good medicine for my spirit,” Lattouf said of Gucei, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf.For years Lattouf’s home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to meet the requirements of hummingbirds. However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them. Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects. Although they’re small in size, their diet includes the mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination.Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with and protect the natural world.

D.Confident.The British Museum, in London, recently planned to make digital (数字的) copies of all the objects it keeps. The project to deal with about 8 million objects will take five years. The reason for this is that the museum said in August that about 2, 000 objects had been stolen or missing.The museum is one of the busiest in the world. It holds objects such as the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles — known as the Elgin Marbles — and ancient stones and jewelry (珠宝) .The leader, or chair of the museum, is George Osborne. He recently told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament that he believed a person who worked at the museum was responsible. Osborne called it “an inside job by someone who the museum had put trust in.” He said the person took objects from the museum little by little.The mus eum’s manager at the time was German art historian Hartwig Fischer. Fischer left the job in August after serving since 2016. He said he must be responsible for the thefts (盗窃) in the end. He added the museum did not react as it should have when concerns first came up that someone had been stealing.The museum head said about 350 of the 2, 000 objects have been found and are in the process of being returned. Stolen objects included gold rings, earrings and other jewelry from the ancient Greek and Roman times.The manager of the museum at present is M ark Jones. He said the museum is confident “that a theft of this kind can never happen again.” Jones added that one way to improve the museum’s safety is to show more objects to the public instead of, as he said, “simply locking objects away.”In September, the museum asked for help in finding the missing objects. The organization offered a phone number for people to call if they had information.12. Who stole the objects according to George Osborne?A.A visitor. B.An artist. C.An art dealer. D.A museumworker.13.

D.He shouldn’t have shown valuableobjects.14. What does Mark Jones want to do to protect their objects?A.Lock their objects away. B.Call on the public to help.C.Make more objects known. D.Keep visitors away from objects.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.British Museum Will Make Its Objects DigitalB.Art Lovers Will Soon Visit British Museum OnlineC.Digital Collections of World-Famous Museum Were StolenD.Stolen Objects Are Being Returned to British MuseumWhat’s the secret to happiness? Although that answer won’t be the same for everyone, you can follow daily practices to develop joy from within.Letting Go16 Bad thoughts, habits, and bad relationships may hold you back from discovering true joy. Some people believe they have found true happiness when they get promotion (晋升), buy a dream house, or find that special someone. Yet, within a few years, they may find themselves back to the past or suffering.Getting Up EarlyWaking up a bit earlier and practicing your morning life can guide you towards happiness and success. 17 And how you choose to spend those early hours will set the tone (基调) for the rest of the day. By getting up early, you’ll look forward to rising each day and doing the things that make you feel good, putting a smile on your face.Mindful EatingGood, healthy food can bring joy into your days if you choose to practice mindful eating. There is no doubt that your food choices affect your overall physical health. 18 As the old saying goes, you really are what you eat! Each food group influences you differently.What’s more, being mindful when eating can also bring happiness as you become present in the moment and focus on joy. 19Living in the NowThe secret to happiness is to live fully in the here and now. 20 And they often let fears and desires hold them back. That’s where living in the now comes to light.

The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). It stands for (代表) the start of spring and farming. This year, the day fell on March 10.The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate theDragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收成) in autumn.Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.Today, many customs have faded away (消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.24.The Dragon Head Raising Day is one of the ______ festivals.A.English B.French C.American D.Chinese25.______ was the Dragon Head Raising Day this year.A.March 4B.February 2C.March 10D.March 8 26.On the day in ancient times, why did people put ashes in the kitchen?A.Because the dragon liked the ashes.B.Because the ashes could bring good luck.C.Because the ashes stood for the harvest.D.Because the ashes led the dragon into the house.27.One custom that has remained is ______ according to the passage.A.The cutting of hair B.to eat ZongziC.the dragon boating D.to eat mooncakesCSure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different kinds of people you'll meet throughout your life.But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called "Teacher Says" for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand newmaterial and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school matters, such as bullying (欺凌弱小者).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful period in your life. You're like a sponge (海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place---to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive (敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.28.What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage? ________A.How to get a long well with teachers.B.How to make the time in the classroom more pleasant.C.How important to have a good relationship with teachers.D.How much the students are expected to get along with teachers.29.What does "turn to" in the third paragraph really mean? ________A.look for B.take hold of C.get help from D.think about 30.According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred? ______A.If you find it comfortable to ask questions, you can build a good relationship with teachers. B.If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can get more help and learn more knowledge.C.If you are getting on well with your teachers, you have more problems than others.D.If you do your best on tests, you can build a good relationship with teachers.31.Which is Not True on teachers and their work according to the passage? ______A.Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B.Having a bad relationship with teachers does some harm to your studies.C.There are some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.D.Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.DChinese Culture Shown to the World with LoveLi Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.It is the spirit of craftsmanship behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.Li has been inheriting traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive.

Finally, I went to the emergency room and they said, “Listen, something is wrong.” Then I was told I might lose my hair for my wedding due to the chemical treatment.When it came out, I just felt like I wanted to shave it. I didn’t want to sit around and wait for my hair to fall out. I wanted to have control in a situation where I had zero control. This was the one area I could have some sort of control.I went to a hair salon that day, and it was super emotional. I cried in the chair the whole time. I was terrified to see that my head looked like bald (秃头的). I didn’t know whether it was going to be malformed or not and I couldn’t help worrying whether there was any unnatural part on it. I also have a mole (胎记) on my head that I’ve always been really self-conscious about.Once I got home, I realized my head was extremely round and the mole wasn’t that noticeable. Over time, I actually enjoyed being bald. I never had to do my hair. Getting ready was quick and easy. I just knew it was something I couldn’t control, and I needed to accept it and learn to love myself in a new way.Even when I was first diagnosed (诊断), there was no way I was going to sit there and feel sorry for myself. I told myself, “I’m gonna get up. I’m gonna fight this thing. I’m not going to lose.” I always said I would win.Looking at things in a positive way really helped me, so that’s what I did with my bald head. I would say, “Yeah, this sucks, but at least I don’t have to wash my hair. At least I don’t have to dry it. At least I can get ready in five minutes.” I always tried to put a positive spin on it.4. Why did the author shave her head bald?A.To do chemical treatment.B.To save her from hairdressing.C.To get ready for her wedding.D.To avoid feeling uncontrollable.5. What does the underlined word “malformed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Ill-treated.B.Bright-colored.C.Badly-shaped.D.Well-protected.6. Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Outgoing and brave.B.Strong and positive.C.Confident and friendly.D.Anxious and negative.7. What can we learn from the story?A.Life is too precious to lose.B.God never closes all doors.C.Determination finds a way.D.Attitude helps win battles.I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values (内卷式价值观). As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have constantly (不断地) received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment.Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced.Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all.8. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?A.His good grades got him a good job.B.He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely (激烈地).C.His views on social values are well known.D.He is content with his performance at school.9. Which role does the author play in his parents’ relationship?A.A helper. B.A judge. C.A monitor. D.A supporter. 10. What is the greatest accomplishment for the author?A.The contribution to volunteering. B.The success in exams.C.The recovery of confidence in life. D.The work in community service.11. Why does the author want to major in social work at university?A.To gain a well-paid job. B.To give his life a purpose.C.To meet his grandparents’ expectations.D.To better help the disadvantaged.With a host of research showing that late night eating is linked to great er body weight, it’s no wonder avoiding late night eating has long been suggested to people who plan to lose weight. But until now, few studies have actually investigated (调查) why. This is what a recent US study set out to uncover.Researchers had 16 participants follow two different meal schedules, each for a period of six days in total. The first group had their meals early in the day with the last meal consumed six hours and 40 minutes before bedtime. The second group had their daily meals four hours later. This meant they skipped breakfast and instead had lunch, dinner and an evening meal. Their last meal was consumed only two and a half hours before sleep. All the participants consumed the same diet, and all of their meals were equally space d with around four hours between them.The researchers looked at three measures associated with weight gain: the influence of appetite, the impact of eating time on calories burned, and changes of fat tissue (组织). They found that compared to an early eating pattern, late eating not only increased feelings of hunger the following day, it also increased the rate of “hunger” hormones (激素) in the blood. Late eating also caused a decrease in calories burned the following day. Fat tissue samples taken from the participants also showed the increased fat storage. These results suggest that late eating could lead to weight gain.Given that the study was only conducted on a limited number of participants and over a very short time, more research will be needed to further understand whether these changes are only temporary, and what effects long-term late night eating can have on the weight gain mechanisms (机制).Anyway, this study adds to a growing body of evidence showing just how important meal timing can be when it comes to body weight. Therefore, people who are watching their weight may want to stay away from the late night snacks and favour eating most of their meals earlier.12. What is the study designed to do?A.To provide suggestions on losing weight.B.To prove the findings of the past research.C.To explore why a late night meal causes weight gain.D.To figure out a better meal schedule.13. What do the two groups have in common?A.They had breakfast four hours later than normal.B.They had daily meals roughly every four hours.C.They had some light snacks between meals.D.Their late night meal lasted for about 150 minutes.14. Which of the following is a result of late eating?A.The slow intake of nutrition. B.The end in feeling hungry.C.The increase in blood pressure. D.The greater accumulation(累积) of fat.15. What is the limitation of the study?A.A small number of participants and trial days. B.The different eating times in the two groups.C.Lack of more measures related to weight gain. D.Limited tissue samples taken from volunteers.What to Do When You Fail in LifeMost people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again. 16Learn from itNo matter how hard you try to avoid (避免,逃避) it, failure will happen. Having a “no fear” attitude towards failure does not mean you should expect to fail, but accept it when it happens. 17 Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better.Stop fearing it18 You are supposed to push yourself to go to the limits. When you have a no-fear attitude and accept failure willingly, your determination can be made the best use of.Let go of your self-worthWhen your self-worth is in charge, you will not learn from the mistakes you have made, be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly. 19 We need to learn, evaluate, and listen to other people if we want to see what needs to change in order to succeed.Improve your mood (情绪) and cheer up againWe all feel upset after having failed, which is natural, human, and unavoidable. But how we respond to our failures is what decides our road to success. One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment, which will strengthen your positive emotions. 20I visited my sister’s family yesterday. When I arrived there, my 14-year-old nephew looked quite________. When asked about the reason, he said he was going to take an exam I wasnot________after listening to his explanation.I know it is common to ________ anxious thoughts before an examination or during the examination.

Therefore, ________we fail to perform well, we must ________ourselves that it is just one exam in our long life and it is not going to be the end of the world.Comparing ourselves with others brings a lot of fear in our mind and prevents our________.

2020-2021学年安徽省芜湖市第三十三中学高三英语期末考试试题及答案解析
2020-2021学年安徽省芜湖市第三十三中学高三英语期末考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFor some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft. An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard tocome to terms withlife in a new home.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look aftera dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.1. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except ________.A. illegal trade of dogsB. less dog farmingC. high prices of dogsD. online sale of dogs2. What does the underlined phrase"come to terms with"in paragraph 4 mean?A. Fit in withB. Go in forC. Make up for.D. End up with3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Despite the problems, dogs are living happily.B. The writer has a positive attitude towards dogs future.C. Experts are worried that dogs will be unaffordable to people.D. The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.BWe asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle for their opinions.Fred:The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’sthese precious momentswhen we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.Jeremy:It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness their parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?Kath:So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.Carl:I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.4. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. When our brains are free.B. When we emailing during meeting.C. When we texting in the checkout queue.D. When we juggle the real and online world.5. What suggestion may Jeremy give to the parents?A. Accompany their children when they are doing homework.B. Prevent their children using phone while doing homework.C. Set a good example for their children on using phone properly.D. Stop posting on social media in face of their children.6. What does Kath worry about the under 20s generation?A. They communicate more with others.B. They use more technology.C. It’s difficult for them to find companies.D. They don’t know how to be alone.7. What is Carl’s attitude towards the use of technology in communication?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.CCoke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.8. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.9. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Don’t pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.10. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To breakdown the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.11. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.DOwning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death, according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports.The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults who lived alone and owned a dog were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease.“Dog ownership was especiallyprominentas a protective factor in persons living alone, which is a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi-person household,” Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, said in a statement announcing its findings. The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率)was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study. “Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single households,” Mubanga added. “Another interesting findingwas that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.”The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that some of the reasons dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease were because dog owners walk more. “These kind of epidemiological (流行病学的)studies look for associations in large populations but do not provideanswers on whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease,” Tove Fall, a senior author of the study and a professor at Uppsala University, said in a statement“We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be one explanation to the observed results,” Fall added. “Other explanations include an increased well-being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群) in the owner.” Fall added that because all participants of dog owners in Sweden or other “European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership.”12. Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million people’s health and the dogs?A. To help Europeans,B. To find their association.C. To protect unhealthy adults.D. To reduce risk of heart disease.13. What does the underlined word “prominent” probably mean in Para.3?A. Universal.B. Confusing.C. Appealing.D. Important14. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Adults living with dogs are less likely to die.B. Swedish people are very fond of animal pets.C. Keeping a dog is a popular and healthy hobby.D. Owning dogs reduces the risk of heart disease.15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards owning a dog?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Contradictory.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhen someone has been bitten by a snake, try to find out if the snake is poisonous or harmless. Their bite marks are usually different. The bite of most of most poisonous snake leaves marks of two fangs(毒牙). If the bit of a snake leaves only two rows o f teeth marks, but no fang marks, it is less likely that the snake is poisonous.People often believe that certain harmless snakes are poisonous. Try to find out which of the snakes in your ares are truly poisonous and which are not. Please do not kill non-poisonous snakes, because they do no harm. On the contrary, they kill mice and other pests that do lots of damage. Some even kill poisonous snakes.Here is some treatment for poisonous snakebite:*Stay quiet: don’t move the bitten part. The more it’s moved, the faster the poison will spread through the body. If the bite is on the foot, the person should not walk at all. Send for medical hep.*Remove jewellery because swelling can spread rapidly.*Wrap the bitten are with a wide elastic bandage or clean cloth to slow the spread of poison. Keeping the arm or leg very still, wrap it tightly, but not so tight t hat it stops the pulse(脉搏)at the wrist or on top of the foot. If you cannot feel the pulse, loosen the bandage a little.*Wind the bandage over the h and or foot, and up the whole arm or leg. Make sure you can still feel the pulse.*Carry the person, on a stretcher(担架)if possible, to the nearest health center. If you can also take the snake, because different snakes may require different antivenoms (抗毒血清).*Poisonous snakebite is dangerous. Send for medical help----but always do the things explained above at once. Some treatments, such as cutting the skin around the bite and sucking the venom out of the bite, can cause infection. And remember: Never drink alcohol after snakebite. It makes things worse!21.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To introduce us to different kinds of snakes.B.

Remember that if you’re w asting too much time looking for respect(尊重) from others, then you will not have time to finish all you desire(期望).Everyone has an opinion, but in fact others’ opinions a bout you are based more on their history and perceptio ns(观念) than anything you’re actually doing. So depend on your own assessment(评估) of you rather than others’.Enjoy every moment of today. Don’t wait to do or enjoy anything. Don’t tell yourself you will do it tomorrow. If it is important to you, then do it today. Pay attention to what is happening now, the task at hand and all the choices you make today, big and small. Our future is set by what we decide and do today.What happened yesterday is over. You can not change it. So let it go. Don’t waste your energy considering anger or unhappiness. It only stops you from moving forward in life.Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments, big and small. Search for the chances for growth. Give helpful encouragement rather than unwanted criticism (批评). Be helpful whenever possible.In a word, life is serious but you can still be delighted and hopeful. Otherwise, what’s the point?25.We shouldn’t worry too much about what others think of us because ________.A. our own assessment is enoughB. their opinions about us may be wrongC. we are improving ourselves every dayD. we don’t always need other people’s help26.What should we do in the author’s opinion?A.
