On the Twentieth Century.BCamping is a good way to spend time with your kids and to show them how wonderful nature can be. Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics of today's culture. So it's necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they're young.When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own things. Each person should have his or her own sleeping bag with a luggage bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their things in a certain place and always return it when they have finished using it.When you've arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important teamwork is. Everyone can have his/her own job sitting up the campsite. Meal time can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.1. Which of the following is the best place for a family camping?A. A place covered with forests.B. A place where kids can find various foods they like.C. A place which provides many interesting activities.D. A place with a river and wild animals.2. What does the author advise parents to do while planning a family camping trip?A. Let the children learn by watching.B. Encourage the children to take care of their own things.C. Take more food to meet the children's need.D. Keep the children away from animals.3. When at the campsite, it is necessary to___________.A. allow the children to cookB. give children enough time to playC. make everyone have work to doD. keep the picnic table full of foodCWhen you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, eventhe most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Cut flowers can survive a long trip.B. You should buy flowers from local florists.C. Flowers you buy come from far away places.D. Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.2. Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?A. Dutch companies and the governmentB. airplane and high-tech cooling companiesC. Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickersD. American businessmen and their government3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.A. endB. advantageC. challengeD. difference4. What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?A. He could predict a train was soon to arrive.B. He knew his business would be threatened.C. He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.D. He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.第二节(共5个小题；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。

of my father's death.Looking back at the past year,I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.For a long time I suffered in silence.I felt as if I was running in circles （圆圈）.I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.After my father’s death,I began channeling all that pain into dance.But as a fairly new dancer,I haven’t had too much stage experience.I recently performed at my school's winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness.I dedicated（献上）the dance to her and my father.I only had one week.I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.Luckily,my best friends came to my aid.What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said.I will never forget what one of them said:"You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind.You have more kindness than some will ever have.I saw how much that dance meant to you,especially how it connected with your memories.It made me cry,that is how incredible you are."Just surround yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you.I am so proud of how much I’ve achieved and I know I will keep going,just as my father would have wished.35．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A．She had no gift for dancing.B．She found it painful to dance on stage.C．She suffered from a heart disease.D．She lacked experience and got nervous on stage.36．We can infer from the article that the author_______.A．performed at her school's concertB．recovered quickly from the loss of her fatherC．is very grateful to her friendsD．is still too sad to keep moving on37．The author wrote the article mainly to _____.A．remind us of the importance of friends in out livesB．encourage us to deal with pain positivelyC．tell us how she became a successful dancerD．show respect to her dear fatherNew research has found that even if you give up smoking,the damage it has done to your genes（基因）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 l ike leaving a footprint on wet cement （水泥）一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 ricks.38．The function of Paragraph 1 is to .A．give an example B．introduce the topic of the passage C．make an argument D．show the main idea of the passage 39．Most genetic changes happen because of .A．people's condition at birth B．environmental pollution C．people's bad living habits D．heart disease and cancer40．The underlined word "it" refers to .A．the cement B．the footprintC．the harmful D．the genetic change41．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 smoking.C．The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself. D．The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.For many people,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy familylife,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol（皮质醇）released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many."Paid work is more valued in society,"says Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding."We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.Athome,meanwhile,stress spreads and accumulates（积累）quickly."That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,"Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to "leave work stress at the office" and even to change our mind-set （思维定式）from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.42．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "taxing"?A．stressful. B．cheerful.C．worthwhile. D．rewarding.43．What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A．Men felt better at home.B．Women felt they had less time.C．Women were easier to feel happier.D．Most people felt more stress at home.44．According lo the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned? A．Our attitude. B．Our mind-set.C．Our home life. D．Our working style.四、七选五We face problems in our everyday life. 45．Don't worry. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.Be aware of problemFirst of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly. 46．. Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.Analyze the problemAnalyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution. 47．. They can be diagrams(图表), flowcharts or a lists, etc.Plan a strategy(策略)Planning a strategy will help you waste less energy and time in attempting all the solutions. This step includes knowing the advantages and disadvantages of applying a solution. In this way, you can abandon the strategy that you don't find worthy to apply.48．Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details.

AThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher —Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume （香水）.Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid more attention to Teddy. The b oy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed：Theodore Stoddard, M.D.（医学博士）.The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Sto ddard whispered（低声说）in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”21. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school？A.

She had given him encouragement.C. She had sent him Christmas presents.D. She had taught him how to judge people.BOn March 19, 2013, Malala Yousafzai, a 15-year-old Pakistani student and women’s-education activist（积极分子）， returned to the classroom for the first time since being attacked by a member of the T aliban on October 9, Malala was shot on her way home from school in Mingora, Pakistan. The T aliban（塔利班） said that they did the attack. The group said the attack should be a warning to others. Malala was targeted（作为目标） because she expresses her opinion publicly about girls’ rights to education.After a long period of recovery, Malala is starting as a ninth-year student at Edgbaston High School. It is the oldest independent girl’s school in Birmingham, England. Though she has no specific plans to return to Pakistan, Malala still speaks out as a voice for change in her count ry, and everywhere. “I’m excited that today I have realized my dream of going back to school. I want all girls in the world to have this kind of chance,” Malala said in a statement .Malala has been an Internet blogger since she was 11 years old. In 2011 she was awarded Pakistan’s National Peace Award for her bravery in writing about the difficulties of life and education in the shadow of the Taliban. She has spoken publicly about children’s rights and been nominated（提名）for an international children’s pea ce prize.25. Why did the T aliban attack Malala？A. She is a Pakistani student.B.

Where would you be most likely to find the two texts？A. On a notice boardB. In a company brochure.C. On a teenage websiteD. In a col lege newspaper.DTo many students, high school is just a basic routine. You go to class in the morning, take a break for lunch and go home in the afternoon.This isn't quite that simple for pupils at Royal West Academy. As if classes and homework weren’t already enough, students are also required to complete a range of extracurricular activities, or ECAs.The range of ECAs being offered at the school is various, including everything from guitar and jewelry-making clubs, fund-raising marches, to student committees, swimming and tennis.“I love ECAs. I’m so happy we have them,” said grade 11 student Adrienne, who is a soccer player and member of the graduation committee. “They motivate the students, and they’re a great bonding experience. I think that without them, not half as many students would be joining up for the soccer team.”Requiring students to complete ECAs is a sign of the times. That’s be cause young people are preparing for the future in ways that weren’t considered necessary before. This is an erawhen ECAs are seen as important. Whether it’s for leadership experience, sports, craft skills or volunteer these things are seen as rounding out the individual and improving their future.ECAs can also help students discover their likes and dislikes. But as the old song says, you can’t always get what you want, especially when so many students are all trying to s ign up for the most popular activities.ECAs can cut into study and homework time if you’re not careful. You really have to get organized or you’ll fall apart.32. The students at Royal West Academy may do the following ECAs except ______.A. to play musical instrumentsB. to raise money for an organizationC. to attend sports eventsD. to have classes discussions33.

Why are ECAs important now？A. They prepare the students for their future.B. They can make students get what they want.C. they can help students find their strong points.D. They can reduce students’ learning time.35. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______.A. ECAs can increase your burden of learningB. you may fall down when playing in ECAsC. too many ECAs may leave you in troubleD. you need to organize other students in ECAs 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Use this list to plan your next trip north, and vote below for your first-choice destination before you head out.Niagara Falls The maid of the mist boat tour may leave you fully wet, but it won't wet your spirit on your trip. When you're not admiring the falls, enjoy the blossoms at the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens. Or, visit the Aquarium （水族馆）of Niagara, which has more than 1，500 species of aquatic animals.Prince Edward Island The background for the "Anne of Green Gables" stories, Prince Edward Island offers a variety of outdoor experiences-from sandy beaches to water sports like kayaking to exploring one of eight lighthouses.

What's more, I didn't care about mental health. Why would I As Dad used to say, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it!"But unfortunately my mental health did "break". I was diagnosed （诊断）as seriously clinically anorexic （厌食的）at age 23. I had immediate treatment in hospital, which lasted two and a half years. People always wonder what helped me recover and the key was simple：comedy （喜剧）.I'm a professional stand-up comic. Comedy began as my hobby and has progressed into a job. The word "comedy" is believed to come from the Ancient Greek kōmos meaning "to reveal"，whose job is to reveal, explain and understand things. This was something I turned to when I was in recovery from anorexia. I'd never been able to explain what going on inside my head；trying to explain what's going on in your mind is like trying to explain a color to someone who's blind. So humour became a way of understanding things and then a way of explaining them. Dr Dieter Declercq, Lecturer in Film at the University of Kent, believes "Humor can change our opinions on a difficult situation". However, he adds carefully that "We should avoid judgments like all humour is good for you." In his new book Satire, Comedy and Mental Health, he looks at how comedy can be used as a mental health method. Enjoyed with others, it is important for good mental health and recovery.Stand-up comedy was important to my recovery. I know I'm not alone in that. So I want to pay that forward and show other people your mental health doesn't have to be "broken" before you can "fix it".13.How did the author treat the issue of mental health as a teenager______A. She took it seriously.B. She was confident of it.C. She hated talking about it.D. She paid no attention to it.14.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3？______A. Explain how comedy helps.B. Share what she went through.C. State where comedy comes from.D. Show why comedy is a common hobby.15.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to______A. Comedy.B. Film.C. A difficult situation.D. The new book.16.In which section of a magazine is this text probably from？______A. Health & Life.B. Man & Nature.C. Science & Technology.D. Society & Opinion.(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)CWhat is talent？Are you born with it？Or does it seem to develop over time？Before I start, I'd like to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hard to get there.While it's true that a few of us had enough "talent" to avoid extra practice to do just as well as those who did, those who worked hard easily beat us. It is, in fact, very likely that if some of us "talented ones" had actually been practicing and improving our skill, we would have achieved a whole different level.Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion （酷爱）. The people I see who are the most talented musicians are crazy about music. They eat, breathe, and live music and they make an extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives. As Remus Badea said, desire for the musician-to-be is significant for them to be successful. This desire is easily found in those considered to be talented. When you want and love something so bad, it drives you and your entire character can be shaped around it. Such determined passion seems to produce incredible skill and talent.The third aspect（方面）of talent is having talent around you. When surrounded by talented musicians, it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level Take a look at almost any group of musicians in history. The more talented people in the group the more talented the group is as a whole. A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer and artist. The artist turns up to the studio with their song,and as they work through recording it, the audio producer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better.17.What can we learn from Paragraph 2？______A. Pride goes before a fall.B. It's never too old to learn.C. Practice contributes to talent.D. Talent determines achievements.18.What is the key to success according to Remus Badea______A. Passion.B. Character.C. Skill.D. Talent.19.Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph？______A. To introduce what real talents are.B. To explain how a song is composed.C. To prove talents need team spirit.D. To show the benefits of being with talents.20.What might the author probably agree with______A. Music has no limits.B. Musicians are born with talent.C. Music favors the talented.D. Musicians are created, not born.(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)DThe use of AI （artificial intelligence）is becoming more common in many branches of industry and online shopping. Traditional lines of work, such as goods transport and driving, are developing in a similar direction although mainly out of public view. Scientists at the University of Göttingen have now investigated how efficient （高效的）the use of AI can be in the commercial management of trucks."Digital applications-as well as machine leaning, a kind of AI-are increasingly applied to operations and courses in the transport area," explains Professor Matthias Klumpp from the Faculty of Economics. "The question in the commercial area, however, is whether or not this contributes to achieving goals."To answer this question, the researchers compared the work efficiency of truck drivers with their main use of AI applications. Looking at trade delivery by truck, they studied three groups：the first drove completely following human decision-making models；the second used a combination of human and machine；and the third depended completely on fully automated decisions.The researchers found that an intelligent combination of human work and decision-making abilities with AI applications promises the highest transport and driving efficiency. "On average, the second group achieved the most efficient transport trips, with the fewest interventions （干预）and off-course from the best path." one researcher said, "Clearly, neithera completely human decision-making structure nor a fully automated driving system can promise to meet current goods transport requirements." The scientists therefore summarized that despite the progress of AI in the field of transportation by truck, human experience and decision-making abilities will still be necessary in the longer term. However, the challenge is that a wide range of training and qualification （资格）needs will come along by working with AI applications, especially for simple goods transport activities.21.What does Matthias Klumpp focus on？______A. The efficiency of AI.B. The advantages of AI.C. The problems caused by AI.D. The wide applications of AI.22.How did the researchers get the finding______A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By using different trucks.D. By listing three experiments.23.What can we know from the last paragraph？______A. AI is better at making decisions.B. A balance is needed between human and AI.C. Human will soon be replaced by AI in driving.D. AI applications meet the current requirements.24.What is the best title for the text______A. The future of transportB. Artificial intelligence as a co-driverC. Artificial intelligence-a better choice in drivingD. The strengths of artificial intelligence in transport三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)Due to its faraway location in the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand was one of the last countries to be discovered by humans.

Also, I was experiencing a terrible tumor (肿瘤)on my neck, leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain, but the operation was to be $8,000, out of pocket, because Medicare only covers 80%.To take me to the hospital, my husband took a day off work. At 7 am, his boss called. He was being placed on paid leaving, waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.We both panicked. Having slowly worked our way out of poverty (贫穷) for 8 years, we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away. As my husband was a great worker, we decided to stay positive and hope for the best. However, two days later he received the official phone call-he was fired.Having no savings to pay bills, we cried hopelessly. We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn’t collect unemployment for 8 weeks, meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months. It was terrifying.With only enough food to last for about a week, we applied for food stamps and Medicaid. Then we worked together- diving into job applications. After sending out resumes (简历)to everywhere in the field, he came across some promising companies. We kept our fingers crossed. Hopefully, we could get out of trouble as early as possible.Soon I got a phone call----my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again. And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great. He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job. What a roller coaster ride!4. What was the family like before the husband got fired?A. They showed little concern for each other.B. They lived in an extremely poor area.C. They could hardly make ends meet.D.

When one door shuts, another opens.D. One false step makes a great difference.CGoing on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible (可进入)they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to get. This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean, and kayaks (皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves, evaluating（评估）things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility（移动能力）issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. “One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap（差距）Wheel the World aims to close,”says Silberstein.Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe —— currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher. “We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,”Silberstein says.8. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show the great success Wheel the World has gained.B. To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life.C. To introduce the background of Wheel the World.D. To remind us of the problems with hotel service.9. What does Wheel the World focus on?A. Collecting travel information for tourists.B. Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.C. Extending travel business to the whole world.D. Providing proper travel services for the disabled.10. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.B. Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations.C. Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world.D. Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition.11. Which of the following can best describe Silberstein?A. Thoughtful and full-hearted.B. Determined and humorous.C. Flexible but aimless.D. Creative but hesitant.DLucy Hughes, a 24-year-oId English inventor, has used skin and scales (鳞)from fish to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won this year's James Dyson Award.Ms. Hughes was very aware of how wasteful many products are. Plastic items (物品)，for example, are often made from new plastic, used once for a short time, and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead.Fishing is a big business in England, and the University of Sussex where Ms. Hughes studied wasn't far from the coast. She spent some time studying the fishing business, and the things that were thrown away. She was amazed by the amount of waste from fish that gets thrown away.After some tests, Ms. Hughes decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. But then she needed something to bind (hold the material together) with. She found that red algae (红藻)was the best binder.Ms. Hughes called her finished product “MarinaTex”, which is clear and feels like plastic, but stronger than regular plastic of the same thickness. MarinaTex is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. Ms. Hughes says that the waste from one Atlantic cod (a fish) could make 1,400 bags. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down.Ms. Hughes thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food packaging（包装）where plastic is currently being used. Ms. Hughes is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She wants to try to make her recipe（配方）for making her plastic even better. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible.12. Why did Lucy Hughes invent MarinaTex?A. To turn waste into treasure.B. To win James Dyson Award.C. To gain people's wide attention.D. To help the local fishing business.13. What is MarinaTex's greatest advantage over traditional plastic?A. It is of higher quality.B. It is more convenient to use.C. It s production cost is fairly low.D. It can break down in a short time.14. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. MarinaTex has been put to practical use.B. Lucy Hughes hopes for more fund support.C. Lucy Hughes intends to improve her invention.D. MarinaTex will replace regular plastic in food packaging.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Red Algae: the Best Binder to Hold MaterialsB. Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish SkinC. Fish Waste Has Affected the Environment SeriouslyD.

We don’t understand you, sir!”“Well, come and I will tell you a story.”“Is it a true story?”“Yes, every word is true.”“Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones very accurately.”“One day I went to work for an old couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few had so many birds making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to love the couple. For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young chicks there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work, and the couple welcomed them heartily.”“During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat on a pole and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my utmost skill. It struck the bird on the head and she dropped dead!”“I said nothing to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. I could never look at them in the face afterwards. Oh, that I should have told them how sorry I was!”“They have been dead many years, and so has the poor bird; but don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the memory of it has hurt me! My dear boys, I would pay agreat deal today if I could undo what I did!“For fifty years I have remembered it. I have never spoken of it before, but if what my words will prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound, I will be happy.”The boys at once dropped the stones they had in their hands, and the bird had no more trouble from them.1.Why did the boy throw stones at the bird?A.Because she was too noisy to the boy.B. Because she had a voice nature gave her.C.Because the stone always rebounded to the boy.D. Because the boy wanted the old man to tell him a story.2.For many years after the old man killed the bird, he felt_______________.A.proud xcited3.The old man told the boy his story in order to_______________.A.make fun of himcate him with a life lessonC.drive him away from birdsD.remind him not to play with stones4.What is the best title of the passage？A.The stone that rebounds.B.

This four-legged canine 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 peoplespent more time at home during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.It was demand for puppies in particular that saw the biggest increase. Who couldn’t resist their playful personalities, adorable eyes, and super-soft coats?However, as demand for a new pooch 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 fear that high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling(贩卖) or dog theft. And a BBC investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies(幼犬) 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 centre or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard to come to terms with life in a new home. Animal behaviourists in the UK have reported a surge in requests to help dogs suffering from fear-aggression(害怕攻击) after their lives have been turned upside down.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare(幸福安康) of these much-loved pets. Ian Atkin, manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in the UK, told the BBC: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Claire Calder from the UK’s Dogs Trust rescue charity says “the economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look after a dog.” The message is not to buy a puppy in haste and to pick one that fits into your lifestyle.1.Why did dog ownership increase during the coronavirus pandemic？A.Because people were looking for companionship and exercise.B.Because dogs were also locked down together with people.C.Because dogs became more playful, lovely and likeable.D.Because the price of dogs increased at the same time.2.What does the underlined phrase “come to terms with”most probably mean？A. rescueB. regretC. accessD. accept3.How might going back to work affect the life of a dog？A. Its price would be increased sharplyB. It might be sold on social mediaC. It can be smuggled and stolenD. It could suffer from separation anxiety4.The author writes this article mainly to talk about_______________.A. some concerns about the welfare of pet dogs.B. some bad behaviors people do to pet dogs.C. why people should raise a pet dog at home.D. why dogs are becoming more and more expensiveDThis new Forever stamp from the U.S. Postal Service honors Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu(1912-1997), one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.The stamp art features a detailed portrait of Wu, wearing a black-and-white traditional Chinese dress known as qipao. The background was painted with an ancient, highly valued color historically used in artistic depictions of angels and nobleness.During a career of more than 40 years in a field dominated(主宰) by men, Wu proved herself as the expert on marking research to test fundamental(基础的) theories of physics.In 1944, Wu accepted a position under the Division of War Research at Columbia University working for the Manhattan project. Carrying out highly secret research for the production of the world's first atomic bomb, Wu made invaluable contributions to the experimental process of using the uranium atom(铀原子).After the war ended, Wu stayed on at Columbia as a research professor, focusing herexperimentation on beta decay(β衰变). With imagination and careful research, she created a more precise spectrometer(分光器) to finally explain the problem of beta decay, one that had troubled physicists in America and across Europe for many years.In 1956, theoretical physicists Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang approached Wu for help in developing a theory that challenged the foundational law of conservation of parity(宇称守恒定律). Wu created a thoughtful and difficult experiment to test the theory. She observed that, in weak interactions(弱相互作用), parity is not conserved-a finding that helped the two lead physicists earn the Nobel Prize in Physics.Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp with original art by Kam Mak.The Chien-Shiung Wu stamp is being issued(发行) as a Forever stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.1. What do we know about Chien-Shiung Wu from this article？A. She liked wearing Chinese clothes.B. She worked for the first atomic bomb.C. She won the Nobel Prize in Physics.D. She was the best female scientist in physics.2. How can we describe Chien-Shiung Wu's research?A. FocusedB. Independent.C. RoughD. Part-time3. Why does the new stamp honor Dr Chien-Shiung Wu？A. She was a Chinese American.B. She always helped other physicists.C. She was a female scientist in the man-dominated field.D. She contributed much to many theories of physics.4. What is the purpose of this article？A. To praise a scientist.B. To introduce a new stamp.C. To talk about a science research.D. To discuss the art of stamps.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In a recent survey of more than 1,300 students, 96% said they feel worried about exams. 16 There is no doubt that anyone wants to get high marks in exams, so students should learn to deal with exams as calmly and effectively as possible.Develop a plan.17 However, most of the students don’t plan how they’ll be prepared. They just tell themselves they’ll study as much as possible — then they’ll “hope for the best”. This isn’t a wise way. Preparing for an exam is like taking on an important project. It’s important to outline a plan for how you’ll get ready for an exam.Change the sleep time early.Many exams are held in the early morning — a time when students don’t usually feel very awake. If you’ll be taking a morning exam, start sleeping earlier at least one week before the exam so that your body will have time to adjust(适应). 18 Besides, it’s also a good idea to get eight hours of sleep each night.19It’s common for students to spend the 10 minutes before an exam doing some last-minutestudying. This may provide some comfort, but overall it does more harm than good. The 10 minutes before an exam will make no difference. If you study during this time, you’ll become more stressed and worried. 20A. Study until the last minute.B. Don’t do any last-minute studying.C. This high percentage isn’t surprising.D. This will have a bad influence on your performance.E. This will help you become more confident in the exams.F. If not, your mind won’t be in a good state to take the exam.G. It is of great importance for students to make a proper plan before an exam.【答案】16—20 CGFBD济南市长清第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中质量检测英语试卷第二节七选五(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFarmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well. Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought. Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter（木匠）standing at the doorway. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said. “I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbor!”The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job t hat pleases you.”Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials（材料） ready and then he was off for the day.About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all! It was a bridge! And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched（伸出）. “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob. Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”21. Just before the carpenter came, John and Bob each otherA. didn’t speak toB. were friendly toC. often fought with D .never had bitter words with22. Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because .A .he wanted to protect his farm B. he didn’t want to do it himselfC. he wouldn’t like to see BobD. he wanted to find him something to do23. What does the sentence “You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!” mean？A. John was great to build this bridgeB. John was not good at building bridgesC. John was foolish to build such a bridgeD. John should build the bridge earlier24. What is the best title for the passage？A. What a Big Fence!B. A Strong BridgeC. Three Kind MenD. A Fence or a Bridge？BA survey sponsored by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humor do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humor. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better. The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humor may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues.Why？ It seems that those with a sense of humor are better communicators and better team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humor could help the employees to release tension. Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humor helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat. If humor is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job？Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace. They tend to think humor and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional, or perhaps both. However, it is important to realize that some humor is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.25. Most people think a sense of humor can ________.A. help you to do your work betterB. make you have a rich lifeC. make you pleased with your workD. help you to make more friends26. Many people don't use humor more in the workplace because __________.A. they like keeping silent when workingB. they don't know the positive effects of humorC. they think they should obey the rulesD. they don't like joking or laughing27. A person with a sense of humor is easier __________.A. to feel surprisedB. to get along withC. to be worriedD. to be successful28. What is the main idea of the passage？A. People with a Sense of Humor.B. Humor Is Important in the Workplace.C. Humor and Humorless.D. Everyone Likes Humor.CRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.●Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.●Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.●Admit you don’t know. Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed.Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”●Use associations. Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note：“Vicki Cheng—tall, black hair.”To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning first names. Last names can come later.●Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to other an automatic review for you.29. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names？A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.30. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you31. What does the text mainly tell us？A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.DHealth experts are calling for action to expand cancer care and control in the developing world. A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer aggressively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries. They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis （肺结核）and malaria （疟疾）combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries. Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the authors of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over th e developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”Professor Knaul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.32. What would be the main idea for the passage？A. Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countriesB. What should we do in preventing and treating cancer？C. What makes the first killer in developing countries？D. Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer in poor countries.33. Felicia Knaul’s experience in Mexico shows that .A. many Mexican women suffer from breast cancerB. there is not enough medicine for cancer thereC. many Mexican women can’t afford medical careD. patients with breast cancer are treated differently34. From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that .A. breast cancer is a great threat to young women in developing counties.B. people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancerC. breast cancer is the second killer among women in MexicoD. effective treatment for breast cancer is available in developing countries35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A. The number of cancer cases is decreasing.B. HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.C. Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.D. It is very expensive to treat cancer.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?21. What is Jane Addams famous for in history?A. Her social work.B. Her teaching skill.C. Her efforts to win a prize.D. Her community background.22. What was the reason for O’Conner’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in law.B. Her little work experience in court.C. The discrimination (歧视) against woman.D. The poor financial conditions.23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers.D. They are peace-lovers.The piano is one of the most common instruments in the music world. Not only is it where most songs are born, it’s also one of the easiest instruments to learn. If you’ve got a keyboard or piano sitting idle in the house and a lot of time stuck at home, you’d better make the most of it.All you need is the right teacher, but that isn’t always easy to come by. Luckily, technology can come to the rescue even with this most creative of pursuits (追求). The Learn to Play the Piano & Music Composition Bundle is a series of online courses that teaches a lot more than just the basic skills. It can turn just about anyone in your family from a complete beginner to a confident piano composer.The base for the beginner part of this course bundle is the popular Pianoforall system. The traditional piano practice can take the fun out of music before you even start. Pianoforall lets you dive in by practicing pop songs from the likes of Billy Joel and Norah Jones, and teaching you important parts of music theory as you play.After you’ve reached your fingers for those classics, you’ll move on quickly to the courses designed to increase your dexterity (灵活性). Once you’re playing your favorite songs with ease (轻易), you’ll start understanding the patterns and chord structures that make those songs truly great. From there, you can enjoy the real fun of playing the piano: Making your own music, either for your own enjoyment or playing with a band.You’ll even get some education in the art of getting those songs heard. Expert courses in this bundle cover basic music production in music creating programs like Logic Pro X.24. What does the underlined word “idle” in paragraph I probably mean?A. Comfortably.B. Broken.C. Not in use.D. Out of place.25. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 2?A. To provide piano teachers for readers.B. To introduce some online courses.C. To talk about the importance of basic piano skills.D. To encourage beginners to be confident.26. The author regards traditional piano lessons as “ ”.A. boringB. popularC. usefulD. Difficult27. What benefit will you get from the online courses?A. They can let others praise you.B. They can let you receive advanced education.C. You can set up a band of your own.D. You can create music on your own.“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Wh en I was a kid, I was afraid of the question. I never had a good answer. Grown-ups always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn’t dreaming of becoming something great, like a film-maker or a spaceman.In college, I finally realized that I didn’t want to be one thing. I wanted to do many things. So I became an organizational psychologist. My job is to fix other people’s jobs. And I think that asking kids what they want to be does harm to them.First, the question forces kids to define (界定) themselves in terms of work. When you’re asked what you want to be when you grow up, it’s not socially acceptable to say a “father”, or, a “mother”. This might be one of the reasons that while many parents say that what they value most is to care about others, their kids believe that success is more important. When we define ourselves by our jobs, our worth depends on what we achieve.The second problem is that it tells kids there is one calling out there for everyone. Although having a calling can bring people joy, research shows that searching for one leaves students feeling lost. After the actor Chris Rock heard a teacher tell high schoolers, they could be anything they want to be, he asked, “Lady, why are you lying to these children?” Maybe four of them could be anything they want to be, but the other 2,000 had better learn how to weld (焊接). He added, “Tell the kids the truth. You can be anything you’re good at.”I’m all for encouraging kids to dream big. But it is no good asking kids what they want to be. Instead, invite them to think about what kind of person they want to be -- and about all the different things they might want to do.28. How did the author feel when he was asked the question?A. Angry.B. Stupid.C. Uneasy.D. Disappointed29. What is one problem with the question according to Paragraph 3?A. Kids may put success first.B. Kids may stop dreaming big.C. It makes kids refuse to grow up.D. It makes kids depend more on others.30. What can be inferred from Chris Rock’s words?A. Nobody is perfect.B. Not everyone has a calling.C. Nothing is impossible.D. Nobody can succeed without working hard.31.What does the author suggest grown-ups do?A. Teach kids some useful skills.B. Let kids know more about society.C. Encourage kids to try to achieve a lot.D. Ask kids to consider different possibilities.Magazine sales have generally been falling since the day the inventor of the Internet said, “Hey, why don’t I invent the Internet?”But the latest ABC figures, released this week, show that sales of certain titles are actually going up. News and current affairs magazines are becoming more popular—but celebrity (名人), gossip and fashion publications are still struggling．“Gossip and celebrity news is rarely something that requires detailed analysis—s o it’s best suited to bite-sized content on social media,” says Ian Burrell, media columnist for The Drum. “Once it’s out there, it’s quickly shared and readers move on to the next star. No one wants to wait a week to read about it in a print magazine.”Fr aser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, wrote this week: “There’s now too much writing online, and in an era of fake news, where you get your analysis from has never been more important. As newspapers and magazines are finding out, if you can publish writing that is consistently better than what can be found online, people will pay.”But many editors are struggling to strike the right balance between physical and digital content. They are faced with the choice of either posting all their articles online for free so the magazine stays relevant, or charging readers money to protect the financial future of the brand.As Burrell points out, most readers are hungry for a deeper understanding of the fast-moving changes in global news and politics rather than seeking to escape from it by burying their heads in celebrity gossip and entertainment stories．Serious times call for serious journalism. While general-interest daily news has been turned into an almost universally available commodity (商品) by the Internet, speci alist journalism is still a service people value and think they can’t get elsewhere．32. What does Ian Burrell think of celebrity news?A. It should be read carefully.B. It should appear on magazines.C. It isn’t worth reading.D. It isn’t worth analyzin g．32. What did Fraser Nelson mainly stress?A. The value of newspapers and magazines.B. The significance of current affairs．C. The importance of news sources.D. The balance between physical and digital content.34. What can be inferred from Burrell’s o pinion in Paragraph 6?A. Most readers are fond of rapid changes．B. Most readers tend to escape from reality．C. Most readers like entertainment news best．D. Most readers show great interest in global news and politics．35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Makes Some Magazines DisappearB. Where Magazines Will Go in the FutureC. How Magazines Are Surviving the Digital AgeD. Why People Are Still Reading Fashion Publications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。

广东省清远市华侨中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题

广东省清远市华侨中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Look at the map of Spain and point at the center. You’ve located the country’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers,HistoryThis city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.ArtThe Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world’s most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.ShoppingMadrid has some of Europe’s best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro where they find nearly everything from antiques to CDs.EntertainmentNo trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.FoodMadrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon, a1．What do we know about the Royal Palace in Madrid?A．It has 50 rooms for visit.B．It can hold 2,800 people.C．It’s been visited by 3 million people.D．It is thought to be the largest in Europe.2．What kind of market is “the Rastro”?A．It’s an outdoor flea market.B．It has almost all sorts of goods in it. C．It has existed for 500 years.D．All of the above.3．What is a must when travelling in Madrid?A．Having dinner earlier.B．Enjoying flamenco.C．Visiting Prado Museum.D．Drinking in a bar.4．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Madrid is at the center of Spain.B．The tourists have access to all the rooms in the Royal Palace.C．You can see various Spanish paintings in the Prado Museum.D．Local Spanish people tend to eat late in the evening.5．What does the underlined word “tapas” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．It means something that people eat after dinner.B．It means some small plates of food before a main meal.C．It is a traditional food in Spain.D．It is food that helps people digest better.A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. In fact, I am one of them.Child-rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid foodThe truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting (咏诵) phrase such as“Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always correct. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.The mother of Bill Gates:“If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends, don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.”The mother of Albert Einstein:“When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W.

A．Mistakes.B．Shortcomings.C．Stories.D．Disadvantages.9．The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________.A．making comparisons B．following the order of space C．providing different examples D．analyzing causesA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As Ishaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say! ” “You don’t say! ” I was puzzled. I thought, “Perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. Well, I’d better change the topic. ” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?By the way, have you ever been there? ”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent. ” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it. ” Soon I was interrupted again by his order, “You don’t say! ” I couldn’t help asking. I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say? ” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed. He explained, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘Really? ’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you haven’t learned that English idiom. ” Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself. Since then, I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.10．A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because ______.A．English idioms were too difficult to masterB．I had no interest in English learningC．my teacher didn’t emphasize the importanceD．I cared little about the teacher’s instruction11．When I first heard “You don’t say! ”I thought ______.A．the Englishman was only interested in the Great WallB．the Englishman was not interested in my English studiesC．I had talked too muchD．I had to stop talking at once12．The underlined word “amusing” means “______”.A．terrible B．importantC．interesting D．lucky13．Which of the following is TRUE?A．The Englishman was leaving China without seeing the Great Wall.B．The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.C．The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.D．The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.How similar are language and music?Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 14 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing system.In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 15 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.16You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.Both share emotion.17 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness.18 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.A．Both are various with culture.B．Both are expressive around the world.C．How do you know that I am angry?D．We use language to express our thoughts.E．So just as you read English, you can read music.F．Similarly, music is also part of many people’s lives.G．In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.I had the pleasure and honor of serving as Newport Beach ocean lifeguard (救生员) fornamed Mike, who was working at Tower 17. He called me over the phone and said, “I have noticed a couple of kids. I am going to give them a 20 .

湖南省临澧县第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷(附答案)

2021年高一英语试题卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ARecently, an unhappy event has happened in a kindergarten in Chongqing. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children to school and guard the school gates from 7:40 to 8:00 in the morning. Opinions on this problem are different from person to person.Sun Zhenyao, 13, JiangbeiSafety comes first. I don’t think it’s a big problem for parents. They just have to stay at the school gate for a little longer. Also, it’s very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents can happen. Depending only on school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents.Li Minyi, 14, YubeiOn weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ responsibility –not the parents’. Also, the time during which they have to stand guard is usually about 7:40 to 8:00 am, the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and be late for their work.I don’t think this task should fall on the parents.Sun Run, 14, BeibeiThis request is not just about children’s safety, but also supporting the school. It is a good way to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working selflessly for their society.Huang Xi, 15, JiulongpoMost of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to go to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask for time off. This will affect their work performance.21. The students who agree with the suggestion are_______.A. Li Minyi, Sun RunB. Huang Xi, Sun ZhenyaoC. Huang Xi, Li MinyiD. Sun Zhenyao, Sun Run22. According to the students, why should parents guard the school gates?A. Guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ job.B. It is a good example for kids to have a sense of responsibility.C. Some parents can ask for time off to guard the school gates.D. There are not enough school guards in the primary schools.23. This article is most likely to be_________.A. a newspaper interview （采访）B. a police reportC. a short storyD. a textbook passageBA young couple decided to get married. As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad，” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I'm afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said, “All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, eve n when you go to bed.” Well, it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom，” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that I'm afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I can't live without him.” Her mother said, “In the morning, get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Don't say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mother's advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every night and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, thehusband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once.

In 2019, experts say the service more than doubled its American user base to 37 million. TikTok is especially popular with teens and young adults.The service lets users create and share their short videos that they think interesting and useful. Many of them are under 15 seconds. The TikTok app offers a wide choice of sounds, brief parts of songs and special effects tools to help create a video. Some TikTok-based memes(表情包)are very popular. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has even helped launch the careers of new music stars.TikTok is considered a competitor to the video-sharing app Snapchat, as well as Facebook's Instagram service. Snapchat and Instagram also mainly interest young users with a wide mix of photos and videos centered largely on fashion, pop culture and humor.Last year, TikTok was the second-most downloaded app from Apple and Google stores. Only WhatsApp was downloaded more. Research company Sensor Tower guesses people have downloaded the TikTok app 1.65 billion times.TikTok has been used by many major companies to reach young people who use little or no traditional media. One of those companies is American-based e. l. f. Cosmetics(化妆品). The makeup company's chief marketer, Kory Marchisotto, said that TikTok is "where the Gen Z party is". Gen Z is a name used to call the generation born between the late 1990s and the early 2000s.“That's where they're all hanging out," Marchisotto said.Companies appearing on TikTok can make money through advertising. Often, the companies create user "challenges" as part of their advertisement campaigns. TikTok users created 3 million videos that received more than 4 billion view.28.

What is the best title for the text?A. TikTok Keeps Growing Among US YouthB. How to Share Short VideosC. Facebook Achieves Great SuccessD. Companies Benefit Much from VideosD“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children’s development, according to new research. Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons—in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs—enable children to talk quicker than others.In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their chil dren’s behaviors but failed to actually increase babies’ vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movement—born in the United States—which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers andfathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasi ng a child’s intelligence.But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think ‘if I don’t do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’.”However, baby signing experts hardly sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn’t say it if they didn’t believe it.”32. Which of the following may help improve children’s language skills?A. Using simple words and phrases.B. Talking to them as much as possible.C. Buying them more books and DVDs.D Creating a serious home environment.33. According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that________.A. they are influenced by othersB. they are sure of the effects of themC. they don't want to be looked down uponD. they don't know how to teach their children34. The underlined word “sustained” in the last paragraph means “”.A. foundB. got rid ofC. supportedD. quit35. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to teach children to communicate effectively.B. Baby signing classes increase children’s intelligence.C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.D. Baby signing classes fail to improve children’s language skills.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
