高二英语月考试题第I卷（选择题)一、阅读理解AIf you’ re a student, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.Time management. High-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time and college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.Good study habits. If you’ve got them, it’s great. If not, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following:●Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly.●Finish homework in a timely manner.●Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.●Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don't have homework ora test the next day!Good note-taking. You can't possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important materials. Note-taking should be in a way that's the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes.Review of daily notes. Don't wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate's notes. Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal: mastery of the subject or skill.1．What is the main advantage of reviewing daily notes?A．To help write down the important materials.B．To add any missing pieces to your notes.C．To solve the problem with note-taking timelyD．To help you to master the subject greatly.2．If you want to form good study habits, you should .A．get them as early as you can B．go over your notes every dayC．study for tests the night before D．set down all the teacher says3．What's the best title for the passage?A．Wise Time Use and ManagementB．The Importance of Good Study Habits.C．Tips for Students to Achieve Success.D．Good Note-taking and Review of Daily Notes.BHere are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now? Are people happier as they get older? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did notaffect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.4．When will adults feel most stressful according to the study?A．In their seventies. B．In their fifties.C．In their twenties. D．In their eighties.5．What may make Arthur Stone feel a bit surprised?A．Women usually live longer than men.B．Most of old people can't sleep well at night.C．Middle-age men mostly are very rich.D．Old people usually have a better sleep.6．Old people may be happier probably because .A．they spend more time considering bad experiencesB．they are most likely satisfied with life.C．they don't have to work hard every day.D．they can do whatever they like best.7．Which of the following may be the topic of this passage?A．The young people and the old people.B．The connection of sleep and happiness.C．Old people's feeling of happiness.D．Women are not as happy as men with their life.CAccording to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect themto succeed.So, for the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.Katherine Roboff is the group's executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the gr oup’s success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade-in the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade---around age 13---they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student's future more than anything that happens academically in high school.Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer，when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor（导师）.The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”8．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Higher Achievement works with college students.B．Many students have doubts about the organization.C．Higher Achievement has spread throughout the US.D．Higher Achievement has helped many high school students.9．If students are doing well academically in eighth grade, .A．they are certain to go to collegeB．they are to succeed when they grow upC．they are more likely to finish high school on timeD．they don't need any help in their studies10．What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?A．become naughty B．improve themselvesC．earn more money D．help others11．The last two paragraphs tell us .A．public schools never offer positive environmentB．Higher Achievement only helps the students in the eighth gradeC．how Higher Achievement helps those studentsD．Higher Achievement only helps those who have good skills.DChina dropped its decades-long, one-child policy several years ago to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves（产假）for a total of seven to eight months.In a survey published by classified advertising website ，career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.Another survey conducted by Chongging-based human resources website job. cg. qq. com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.Feng Lijuan,a senior expert on human resources at 51 job. com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is prejudice against career women.” Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.”Wang Yixin, a senior employment adviser, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women. “Diffe rent from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also chose employers.” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large companies are very open to their employees' choice of having a second c hild.”12．According to the second survey, having a second child would . A．have no effect on career womenB．have a negative effect on career womenC．have a positive effect on career womenD．have both positive and negative effects on career women13．According the first survey，what are women concerned about when having two children?①Financial burden of raising two children②Fewer opportunities to get a pay rise③Negative effects on their career④Difficulty in balancing career and familyA．①②③B．②③④C．①③④D．①②④14．Women employees take longer time to concentrate on work after childbirth because ..A．there is more prejudice against career womenB．they shoulder more family responsibilityC．they have longer maternity leaves to enjoyD．having a second child makes them less popular15．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Effects of Two-child Policy on WomenB．Disadvantages of Raising Two ChildrenC．Responsibilities of Career WomenD．Different attitudes of Employers to Women二、完形填空One day, I saw a small poster across the room, which read, “In order to help others，I must help myself first.” I can’t 16 where I got it, but the poster has always been there.

山西省原平市范亭中学2024_2025学年高二英语4月月考试题
山西省原平市范亭中学2024-2025学年高二英语4月月考试题本试卷分为第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分, 共150分。
考试时间120分钟。
第I卷（共100分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45分）AA new app aims to help parents interpret what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry, fussy or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphone, others say it’s a helpful tool for new or tired parents.Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant(婴儿) cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was either hungry or fussy.Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science. “I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,” Ball said ,“ I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet(电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children. ”But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results, not to provide a yes o r no answer. The Bells, a couple using this app, say it’s a win-win. They believe they are not only helping their baby now but potentially othersin the future.1．How does the app judge what babies want?A．By collecting data. B．By recording all the sounds.C．By analyzing the sound of their cries. D．By asking parents about specific messages.2．What was the app designed for in the beginning?A．All new parents. B．Deaf parents.C．Ariana Anderson. D．Crying babies.3．What i s Ball’s opinion about the app?A．Parents should use the app wisely.B．The app can create an accurate result.C．Parents and babies are addicted to the app.D．The app makes babies lose love and caring.4．What is the text mainly about?A．Parents should not rely too much on their smartphones.B．A new app helps parents figure out why their babies are crying.C．Parents can deal with babies’ hunger with the help of a new app.D．A new app called ChatterBaby can prevent babies from crying.BMany people spend more than four hours per day on We Chat, and it is redefining the word “friend.” Does friending someone on social media make him or her your friend in real life?Robin Dunbar, a professor at Oxford University, found that only 15, of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has, could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends. We Chat may show a similar pattern.Those with whom you attended a course together, applied for the same part-time job, went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat friends. In chat records, the only message may be a system notice, “You have accepted somebody’s friend request”. Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on “Moments”, you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends. Also, you maybe disturbed by mass messages (群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”, including requests for voting for their children or friends, links from Pinduoduo (a Chinese e-commerce platform that allows users to buy items at lower prices if they purchase in groups) and cookie-cutter (一模一样的) blessings in holidays.You would have thought about deleting this type of “friends” and sort out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networkingis valuable to one’s success. Besides, it would be really awkward if they found thatyou have unfriended them already. Then, you keep increasing your “friends” in social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested. Butthe fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing numberof your friends in social media.If the number of your friends reaches 150, maintaining these relationships canbe tough to you, and sometimes even will make you anxious. According to Robin Dunbar,150 is the limit of the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.5．What can we learn from Robin Dunbar's finding in Paragraph 2?A．A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.B．Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.C．Among our social media friends, only a few people matter.D．Only 15 people of a person’s Facebook friends can be close friends.6．What does the third paragraph tell us about most of your WeChat friends?A．You have deep communication with them.B．You benefit a lot from their mass messages.C．You just have a nodding acquaintance with them.D．You become friends with them in important occasions.7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Removing unfamiliar friends in WeChat.B．Strengthening ties with your We Chat friends.C．Keeping increasing your friends in social media.D．Clicking “like” on pictures posted by your friends.8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．We will be anxious if we make friends online.B．We should avoid making any friends in social media.C．We should make as many friends as possible in social media.D．We have difficulty managing relationships with over 150 people.CLast week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the nextcouple of years.9．Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes" ?A．He is in favor of the application of the new technology.B．5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C．5G helps people communicate better with each other.D．He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.10．The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________A．making a speech to B．trying to solveC．managing to decrease D．responding to11．The last paragraph indicates thatA．it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B．5G service shows huge development potential and a broad marketC．customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD．it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in BritainDZebra crossings (斑马线) — the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface — are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden’s Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse? Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across.Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention — a 3D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉). Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city’s residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of 3D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion oflogs of wood on the streets in Taizhou， China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India.Sure enough, in the six months when the 3D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city’s most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So let’s look forward to it.12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings.B．Common zebra crossings don’t function well.C．Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings.D．About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings. 13．Why do drivers seeing the 3D zebra crossings slow down according to Para. 2?A．Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians.B．Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets.C．Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules.D．Because the drivers don’t want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind.14．The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A．the theory of the 3D zebra crossingsB．the popularity of the 3D zebra crossingsC．the shortcoming of the 3D zebra crossingsD．the positive effect of the 3D zebra crossings15．What is the author’s attitude towards the 3D zebra cross ings?A．Cautious. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Disapproving.其次节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学2020-2021学年高二下学期四月学业阶段性评价考试英语试题 含答案
哈九中2020-2021学年度下学期4月考高—英语试卷2021. 4.第I卷（选择题，共80分）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AThe best drones （无人机）you can buy right nowDJI Mavic Air 2 （$800）DJI Mavic Air 2 offers clear improvements over previous products. It can shoot 4K videos at 60 fps, along with still photos of up to 48 megapicels （白万像素），while the drone's flight time has been increased to 34 minutes （up from 21）. The drone itself starts at $800, but adding the Fly More Combo pack on to your shopping list gives you three batteries and some additional items for another $200.Mavic Mini （$400）Mavic Mini's advantages are its size and weight, the latter of which comes in at just under the 250-gram mark. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't shoot 4K like DJI's higher-end drones, but you'11 still get some impressive 2.7K videos and 12-megapixel still images.Ryze Tello （$110）There may be a handful of clear favorites when it comes to higher-end drones, but things get quite a bit more confusing if you' re just looking for a cheap flyer to try your hand with. While there's no mistaking this for a pro-level piece of equipment, Ryze Tello benefits from a partnership with DJI that gives it some reliable capabilities for the price. DJI Inspire 2 （$3,300）What can professional movie makers get in DJI Inspire 2? A lightweight body, a flight time of 27 minutes, and an amazing 5.2K video quality. Besides, it has retractable （可收回的）landing equipment, and you can turn the camera 360 degrees without anything blocking the view. To fully use DJI Inspire 2, one pilot is needed to pilot the drone and the other to control its camera.1. What has DJI Mavic Air 2 been improved?A. Its weight and flying range.B. Its camera and flying time.C. Its battery and top speed.D. Its size and flight ability.2. Which of the following drones is the best choice for a beginner?A. DJI Mavic Air2.B. DJI Inspire 2.C. Mavic Mini.D. Ryze Tello.3. What is one typical feature of DJI Inspire 2?A. Its camera is able to shoot 4K videos at 60 fps.B. It can fly for an hour on a single battery charge.C. It can be operated by two people at the same time.D. Its landing equipment is made of special materials.4. In which section of a newspaper would the text most likely appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Technology.BWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip, even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home, I hit the brakes, and we began to roll, slowly, behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again. We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a ba rn full of dairy cattle.At five miles per hour, you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place, even when you are moving from place to place.I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home, and also a writer and a gardener. But, for me, those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life: I want to cultivate a place and share it with others.The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in 1880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land, and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers, keep a baker's dozen of egg-laying chickens, and, since we moved in three years ago, we have planted many, many trees.Living with my life's purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here, feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget, and we spend it on trees.But I learned something at the end of our family road trip.

Life on the FarmCUnder the bright white lights of a central exhibition space in London, a few people are sorting themselves into groups. An instructor tells those who feel extremely worried about climate change to go to the far end of the room. Those that areless worried should stay closer to her. Moments later, she is almost alone. Thirty feet away, strangers awkwardly crowd together, signaling that they suffer eco-anxiety.This workshop, organized by Kings College London, is one of several events organized in London to help people work through the feelings of anxiety, depression and grief that arise from confronting （面对）the fact. According to the UN, we now have less than eleven years to prevent catastrophic climate change.The American Psychological Association first defined the eco-anxiety as “a chronic（长期的）fear of environmental doom （厄运）As climate protests and a series of natural disasters put climate on the news agenda, eco-anxiety has exploded across the world. Mental health studies reveal a surge in people reporting stress or depression about the climate.Eco-anxiety is not the same as the clinical disorder, though physicians say fears about the climate can worsen or trigger （激发）pre-existing mental health problems. "In fact, in most cases, eco-anxiety is no more than a healthy response to climate crisis, says psychotherapist Caroline Hickman, a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.When it comes to treatment, experts say taking action — either by changing your lifestyle to reduce emissions or taking part in activities —can reduce the level of anxiety. But before getting started, you need to talk about your feelings ,“Hickman says, stressing that we need to accept our vulnerability （脆弱）.9. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A.

It can solve climate crisis faster.12. What does Caroline Hickman advise people to do to deal with eco-anxiety?A. To discuss it with experts.B. To turn to doctors for help.C. To admit we have such feelings.D. To share our feelings with friends.DThe gender gap in maths-related subjects is obvious. In almost all countries, far fewer women than men choose STEM （理工科）careers.It's not that girls and women arc bad at maths. In the UK in 2020, for example, 39% of 18-year-old girls who studied maths at A-level achieved an A or A+, compared to 42% of boys. For A-level physics, 29% of girls achieved the top two grades, compared to 28% of boys. But in both subjects, boys heavily outnumbered girls by more than 3:1 in the case of physics. So why are so many girls turning their backs on these subjects?A study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that the answer may in fact lie in male-female differences in academic ability, but the ability in question is reading, not maths. Thomas Breda, at Paris School of Economics, and Clotilde Napp, at Paris Dauphine University, wondered whether this male-female difference in reading could help explain the gender gap in STEM careers. Every three years, hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds in more than 60 countries takepart in the PISA study （国际学生评估测试）.Students complete tests in maths, reading and science, and answer questions about their future career intentions. When Breda and Napp looked at the data from PISA 2012, they realized they were onto something.“There were small gender gaps in maths performa nce at 15 years old, but these gaps were too small to explain the huge gender segregation in STEM," says Breda. But for reading, the tables were turned; the girls were much better than the boys. As a result, when a boy and a girl had similar scores in maths, the girl usually had an even better score in reading.When Breda and Napp compared each student's scores in reading and maths, they found the greater a student's advantage in reading, the less likely they were to plan a career in maths, even when their maths score was also high. Notably, this was true for both boys and girls.“It makes a lot of sense,“ says Sarah Cattan, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. "It shows that what matters most when boys and girls choose their field of study is not how good they are in maths or in reading, but how good they are in maths relative to reading.”13.What do the data in Paragraph 2 show?A. The average gender difference in maths performance is small.B. Those who are good at maths are also good at physics.C. Physics tends to be easier for girls than maths.D. Girls are not better than boys at maths.14.According to Breda and Napp, who is most likely to plan a career in maths?A. Tom whose maths is worse than reading.B. Lisa whose maths is better than reading.C. Lily whose reading is better than maths.D. Jack whose reading is as good as maths.15. According to Sarah Cattan, what do students value much when making further study choices?A. Their comparative strength instead of absolute ability.B. Their gender advantages in a specific academic field.C. Their future job landing possibility in an industry.D. Their particular interest in a certain subject.16. What is the best title for the text?A. Why are we drawn to STEM careers?B. Are boys worse at reading and writing?C. Why are girls bad at maths-related subjects?D. Are good readers more likely to give up maths?EPm a professor of rhetoric and literature. Whether it is global literature or historic literature, or pictographs （象形文字），I teach all of them. Literature is the chronicle （编年史）of the human condition over time. It shows exactly how people advance with technology and awareness of social issues. It can cultivate people with the good character and affect their lives.Why do we find pictograms or cave paintings filled with animals that lived in the area? They are the communication of location information during the nomadic eras. That is fairly nice of one group of people to tell the next tribe what to cat. Why do we have cave paintings of Nessie or other horrible monsters? Pick any piece of the cave paintings from across the globe and ask whether it is designed to share with others and warn others, and you'll know it shows the prowess of thehunters or their honor to others. All of these appear in different ways during different times; they are all the foundational elements, including some big events.And humans naturally move toward discovery. We look to space or observe animals and plants to better understand ourselves and the world we are living in. We write down what we have discovered, which becomes part of literature. On the Origin of Species is foundational, biological literature but it's also literature. We find ourselves by reading classic literary works and literature can offer heartbreak or hope or both or give us a window into all of life.Functionally, think of those famous and able generals, who were written into the global history because they had not only read but also understood The Art of War to the point of being able to apply it with ease. Anyhow, literature benefits us. If you are able to read it and understand it, it becomes a part of you. And you are likely to apply those emotions and intelligence in daily life without realizing it.17. Which is excluded from the category of literature according to the author?A. Music records.B. Cave paintings.C. The Historical Records.D. On the Origin of Species.18. What is one of the purposes of ancient people using these pictograms?A. To show what food they had eaten.B. To point out what nomadic eras are.C. To indicate where the animals were.D. To tell hunters how to hunt animals.19. What does the underlined word "prowess" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Tool or weapon.B. Harvest or capture.C. Skill or technology.D. Bravery or fearlessness.20. What does the author try to show through the example of those generals?A. Literature affects our emotions.B. Generals like reading literature.C. Literature helps people become successful.D. Literature has something to do with wars.第二节（共5小题：每题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。

山东省2020-2021学年高二英语4月月考试题
高二英语月考试题第I卷（选择题)一、阅读理解AIf you’ re a student, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.Time management. High-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time and college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.Good study habits. If you’ve got them, it’s great. If not, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include the following:●Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly.●Finish homework in a timely manner.●Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.●Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don't have homework ora test the next day!Good note-taking. You can't possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute. But, you do need to set down the important materials. Note-taking should be in a way that's the most helpful to you. You can try writing notes on different colored cards. If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons. Do whatever it takes.Review of daily notes. Don't wait until the night before the test to review your notes. Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind. Add any missing pieces. Compare your notes with a classmate's notes. Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal: mastery of the subject or skill.1．What is the main advantage of reviewing daily notes?A．To help write down the important materials.B．To add any missing pieces to your notes.C．To solve the problem with note-taking timelyD．To help you to master the subject greatly.2．If you want to form good study habits, you should .A．get them as early as you can B．go over your notes every dayC．study for tests the night before D．set down all the teacher says3．What's the best title for the passage?A．Wise Time Use and ManagementB．The Importance of Good Study Habits.C．Tips for Students to Achieve Success.D．Good Note-taking and Review of Daily Notes.BHere are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now? Are people happier as they get older? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did notaffect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.4．When will adults feel most stressful according to the study?A．In their seventies. B．In their fifties.C．In their twenties. D．In their eighties.5．What may make Arthur Stone feel a bit surprised?A．Women usually live longer than men.B．Most of old people can't sleep well at night.C．Middle-age men mostly are very rich.D．Old people usually have a better sleep.6．Old people may be happier probably because .A．they spend more time considering bad experiencesB．they are most likely satisfied with life.C．they don't have to work hard every day.D．they can do whatever they like best.7．Which of the following may be the topic of this passage?A．The young people and the old people.B．The connection of sleep and happiness.C．Old people's feeling of happiness.D．Women are not as happy as men with their life.CAccording to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect themto succeed.So, for the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.Katherine Roboff is the group's executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the gr oup’s success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade-in the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade---around age 13---they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student's future more than anything that happens academically in high school.Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer，when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor（导师）.The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”8．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Higher Achievement works with college students.B．Many students have doubts about the organization.C．Higher Achievement has spread throughout the US.D．Higher Achievement has helped many high school students.9．If students are doing well academically in eighth grade, .A．they are certain to go to collegeB．they are to succeed when they grow upC．they are more likely to finish high school on timeD．they don't need any help in their studies10．What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?A．become naughty B．improve themselvesC．earn more money D．help others11．The last two paragraphs tell us .A．public schools never offer positive environmentB．Higher Achievement only helps the students in the eighth gradeC．how Higher Achievement helps those studentsD．Higher Achievement only helps those who have good skills.DChina dropped its decades-long, one-child policy several years ago to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves（产假）for a total of seven to eight months.In a survey published by classified advertising website ，career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.Another survey conducted by Chongging-based human resources website job. cg. qq. com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.Feng Lijuan,a senior expert on human resources at 51 job. com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is prejudice against career women.” Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.”Wang Yixin, a senior employment adviser, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women. “Diffe rent from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also chose employers.” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large companies are very open to their employees' choice of having a second c hild.”12．According to the second survey, having a second child would . A．have no effect on career womenB．have a negative effect on career womenC．have a positive effect on career womenD．have both positive and negative effects on career women13．According the first survey，what are women concerned about when having two children?①Financial burden of raising two children②Fewer opportunities to get a pay rise③Negative effects on their career④Difficulty in balancing career and familyA．①②③B．②③④C．①③④D．①②④14．Women employees take longer time to concentrate on work after childbirth because ..A．there is more prejudice against career womenB．they shoulder more family responsibilityC．they have longer maternity leaves to enjoyD．having a second child makes them less popular15．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Effects of Two-child Policy on WomenB．Disadvantages of Raising Two ChildrenC．Responsibilities of Career WomenD．Different attitudes of Employers to Women二、完形填空One day, I saw a small poster across the room, which read, “In order to help others，I must help myself first.” I can’t 16 where I got it, but the poster has always been there. I didn't take notice of it before, but this time，I felt something 17Somehow in my mind there often 18 pictures from a documentary（记录片）, which I saw several days ago about the lives of 19 children in Palestinian refugee camps （难民营）.Their living 20 are so poor.

Then he said, “To be a helping hand, 30 , you have to be successful in whatever you 31 to be.”He walked out of the room and soon came back with a 32 in his hands. He handedit to me and said, "Spend some time reading this and 33 you will understand whatI meant."After spending the whole day reading the book, I realized that “in order to help others, I must help myself first” has a deeper-rooted 34 .

山东省实验中学2023-2024学年高二下学期4月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解A great family day out doesn’t have to be expensive.Sometimes just going for a walk can be fun,educational,and a chance to make special memories together and share some quality time.Here are a few of our family-friendly favorites.Blickling Estate,NorfolkThis four-mile multi-use path has a surface that’s great for pushchairs.If you’re out for a family walk and the kids won’t leave the house without their pushbikes,then this is perfect for them.Please bear in mind that you’ll need to book a ticket before visiting.Coughton Court family walk,WarwickshireGet your boots on and go for a gentle walk at Coughton Court.This walk will take you across a field with grass and flowers.You’ll need to book a ticket before visiting,though.Corfe Common history walkA gentle walk exploring historic Corfe Castle.The kids will love checking out the castle ruins.Don’t forget to book a ticket before visiting.Crom wildlife walkThis walk through the nature reserve at Crom,Northern Ireland is filled with wildlife.You could also come across one of the oldest yew trees in Ireland.This easy walk is great for all the family to get some fresh air.Booking a ticket before visiting is a must.Sutton Hoo,SuffolkThis is a great walk for little legs.This beautiful area is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time.Even though no tours or guides are currently offered,you can still walk around the ancient places.Tickets are required before visiting.1．What do we know about Blickling Estate?A．It is pushchair-friendly.B．It is famous for its wildlife.C．It is an adventurous place for adults.D．It is home to the oldest yew trees.2．Which walk should you choose if you want to see the castle ruins?A．Coughton Court family walk.B．Corfe Common history walk.C．Crom wildlife walk.D．Sutton Hoo walk.3．What do these five walks have in common?A．They have guides.B．They need to be booked ahead of time.C．They are unfit for seniors.D．They include exploring historic buildings.Isadora Duncan is considered by many to be the progenitor of modern dance.To Duncan,classical ballet,with its strict rules of posture and formation,was“ugly and against nature”.She refused to accept traditional ballet steps, preferring to emphasize improvisation(即兴创作),emotion,and the human form.She said,“I spent long days and nights in the studio seeking that dance which might be the expression of the human spirit through the body’s movements.”By making connections between human emotion and the movements of dance,Duncan hoped to make dance a form of high art rather than simple entertainment.She developed free and natural movements inspired by the classical Greek arts,folk dances,social dances and natural forces.She drew on a number of sports moves,including skipping,running,jumping, leaping,and tossing.The athleticism and classical roots of her style are reflected in her innovative costume choice of a Grecian tunic(束腰外衣)and bare feet,which allowed for a physical freedom that could not be achieved in the traditional ballet costumes and pointed shoes that limited dancers.With time,she gained a very wide following and set up several schools in Europe and the United States.Duncan’s fame,however,did not bring her wealth.In the later years of her life,her financial situation worsened, and finally she had to live in apartments rented by friends and supporters.Duncan also received criticism for some of her personal opinions.In spite of the problems,Duncan is remembered today for her artistic achievements:the creation of modern dance and its high place among the arts.While Duncan’s own schools no longer exist,her style of dance continues to be practiced.Her life inspired novels,ballets,and films,and her likeness was included in the sculpture created by Antoine Bourdelle over the entrance of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.4．What does the underlined word“progenitor”Paragraph1probably mean?A．Sponsor.B．Originator.C．Instructor.D．Competitor.5．What can we learn about Duncan’s costume choice?A．It allowed dancers to move naturally and freely.B．It included newly designed pointed shoes.C．It was white and extremely simple.D．It was introduced from Greece.6．What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?A．To explore the connection between art and wealth.B．To characterize Duncan as a dishonorable person.C．To prove Duncan was adored by friends and relatives.D．To show Duncan lived a hard life in her declining years.7．What is Duncan mainly famous for?A．Her inspiration for artists.B．The invention of a new-form dance.C．Her special personal views.D．The foundation of many dance schools.Users of Google Gemini,the tech giant’s artificial intelligence model,recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings,or German soldiers from1943produced surprising results:hardly any of the people were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap;instead,it fell into another one,depicting George Washington as black.Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses,which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini declined to write a job ad for a fossil fuel lobby group(游说团体),because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize“the interests of corporations over public well-being”.Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization,it replied that the conflict in Gaza is“complex”;asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was“difficult to say”.You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.Inadequate testing may be partly to blame Google lags behind OpenAI,maker of the better-known ChatGPT.As it races to catch up,Google may have taken short cuts.Other chatbots have also had controversial launches Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover their faults,which can be swiftly addressed,lets firms move faster,if they are prepared to endure the potential risks and bad publicity,observes Ethan Mollick,a professor at Wharton Business School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted to produce these responses.This raises questions about Google’s culture.Is the firm so financially secure,with vast profits from Internet advertising,that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering?Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity,but a responsibility,to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda?All eyes are now on Google’s boss.Sundar Pichai.He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?8．What was the problem of Google Gemini in the first paragraph?A．Having a racial prejudice.B．Responding to wrong texts.C．Criticizing political figures.D．Going against historical facts.9．What is Paragraph2mainly about?A．Gemini’s bias in text responses.B．Gemini’s refusal to make progress.C．Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.D．Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.10．What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?A．Creative.B．Promising.C．Illegal.D．Controversial.11．What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph:A．Its security is doubted.B．It lacks financial support.C．It needs further improvement.D．Its employees are irresponsible.As awareness of climate change grows,so does the desire to do something about it.One way to gain a quantifiable (可量化的)understanding of the impacts of our actions,for good and bad,is through what is known as a carbon footprint.While the concept is gaining traction,it is not always fully understood.According to Mike Berners-Lee,a professor at Lancaster University in the UK and author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything,a carbon footprint is“the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take place.”What steps a person can take to reduce their personal footprint depends on the kind of lifestyle they presently live, and the same actions are not equally effective for everyone.Berners-Lee notes that,“for some people,flying may be10 percent of their footprint,for some people it’s zero,and for some it’s such a huge number that it should be the only thing they should be thinking about.”It isn’t easy to calculate a carbon footprint.The earliest such calculator is thought to have appeared in2004as part of the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP,which makes observers criticize the pressure to reduce personal carbon footprints as an indication that climate change is not the fault of an oil giant,but that of individuals.“I would say personal carbon footprint calculators are a useful tool to assess the impact of your immediate actions.”Berners-Lee says.“But what’s much more important than your personal carbon footprint is your climate shadow,which aims to paint a picture of the full sum of one’s choices and the impact they have on the planet.For example,how you vote,where you work,how you invest your money,and how much you talk about climate change.”12．What does the underlined word“traction”in paragraph1probably mean?A．Control.B．Insight.C．Attention.D．Power.13．How does Berners-Lee explain his opinion according to paragraph3?A．By presenting a fact.B．By giving suggestions.C．By clarifying a concept.D．By making a comparison.14．What is the observers’attitude to the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP?A．Unclear.B．Favorable.C．Tolerant.D．Disapproving.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Tools are more important than choices.B．Climate shadow covers a broad range of actions.C．Calculating carbon footprint is the most effective.D．Only individuals are responsible for climate change.For decades,doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart.Heart attack has long been considered a grown-up problem.16Eating too much salty food when you're young can lead to health problems later.Salt is made up of two elements:sodium and chlorine伟内禾口氯）.Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged9-13shouldn't consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily.17This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood.To pump the extra blood,the heart has to work harder.This causes a rise in blood pressure一-a measurement of how stressed the heart is.High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure.18British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy（碳酸）drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.19A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones（肾结石）.This painful condition usually affects people aged over40.Now,kids as young as five are getting it.Cutting down on salt can be hard,but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food.The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually.20Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions.And go easy on the condiments（调味品）.You might also want to start reading nutrition labels.You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger,and over2,000mg in many frozen meals.A．Salt isn't the only cause of diseases.B．The average American eats twice this amount.C．Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight.D．Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity.E．But new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children.F．Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do.G．Cutting down on salt now can lower a person's risk of heart disease.二、完形填空History has not yet21what we will definitively call the post millennial cohort(2000年后出生的人)that now22more than60million people in the U.S.These kids and23with no concept of life24 the Internet have so far been called the App Generation and Generation Z.They’ve been referred to as Homelanders, having grown up under the ghost of terrorism.They’ve also been25the Plurals for their historic diversity,as well as the Founders,at least by MTV.Whatever we26naming them,marketer and academies are turning their attention to this group,which has billions in27and is already shaping the culture.This generation is growing up“totally and utterly connected”says California State University psychologist Larry Rosen.Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids’Google-inspired expectations that everything be28.They worry about their inability to29 even five seconds of boredom.And they worry about the demands that come with30several identities online, from Facebook to Twitter to Snapchat.“There’s so much pressure on young people,who are still31their identities,to present this crystallized,idealized identity online,”says the University of Washington’s Katie Davis.Historian Neil Howe sees32with the Silent Generation,the spoilt risk-avoiding“nice”generation of kids who grew up during the Great Depression and World-War II,although some marked differences are found.Today’s youths are also coming of age among geopolitical trouble and fears about the economy,he says,33schools emphasize an intense far-reaching sensitivity to other kids.He suspects this34will be known for being well behaved and perhaps boring the culture by playing it safe.“There are typical examples that occur repeatedly,”Howe says, "even if they go by different35.”21．A．remarked B．convinced C．revealed D．guaranteed22．A．numbers B．houses C．accommodates D．contains23．A．peers B．fellows C．folks D．adolescents24．A．over B．without C．besides D．beyond25．A．diagnosed B．dismissed C．labeled D．coined26．A．end up B．consider about C．appeal for D．approve of27．A．distribution force B．global view C．purchasing power D．unique outlooks 28．A．vivid B．instructive C．profitable D．instant29．A．feed up with B．put up with C．make up for D．break up with30．A．mixing B．revising C．illustrating D．maintaining 31．A．supervising B．promoting C．representing D．forming32．A．parallels B．contrasts C．comparisons D．reservations33．A．because B．as C．while D．unless34．A．generation B．emphasis C．intensity D．cultivation35．A．routes B．schemes C．names D．definitions三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.After coming to China,I experienced authentic Chinese food.In Beijing,the chef in a Sichuan restaurant offered us the36(please)of experiencing wonderful and different food besides friendship.In Xinjiang,their traditional foods are those37(cook)over an open fire.The kinds of food local people consume tell us a lot about themselves;therefore,we can say culture and cuisine go hand in hand,which are both worth38(experience).阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.For first-degree burns,first,place burns under cool running water,especially within the first ten minutes.Second, dry the burnt area39(gentle)with a clean cloth.Meanwhile,remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric40(stick)to the burnt skin.Then cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth.Don’t apply oil41the injured areas,as it will keep the heat in the42(wound)and may cause infection.阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.They flew to Vancouver and then took the train.One of the first stops was in Edmonton,43center of Canada’s huge oil and gas44(drill)industry.After another day on the train,eventually they were back in the city of Winnipeg.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and thenwrite on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted”students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day--- with an “A”on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”25.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .A. He was new to the classB.

Encouraging28.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975,they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.29. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson30. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles31. What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.32. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Run a CorporationB. Strength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessDMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activityto which men give their free time.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.33.Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.A. there is not certain rule for climbers to follow.B. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it can’t bring people joy and leisureD. it has man-made rules.34. According to the author, the only enemy of mountaineers should be _____?A. temperatureB. natureC. climateD. patience35. The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could be replaced by ________A. enthusiasmB. tasteC. giftD. strength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，并在答案卡71—75将该项涂黑。
