deaths could be avoided according to the scientists.For the health of the planet,they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.”Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health”diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health”diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health”diet.He said,“More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim.But for them,doing nothing is also not a choice.Willet said,“If we can’t make the best diet,it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”12.What decides the health of people and the planet

The story has since been used as a warning by parents to stop their children from __1__(lie).But believe it or not, this old fairy tale has some truth in it, because a new study shows that your nose can give you away if you lie. However, instead of growing longer, researchers say our noses heat up if we tell tall tales.Live Science reported that __2__ the change of body temperature is difficult to see with the naked eye, heat cameras can help us identify it. Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain introduced thermographic (热感成像的) cameras into their experiment.

Empathy (移情作用), for example, can also be detected this way.In the experiment, researchers showed a video of a person __9__(get) an electric shock in thearm. Among all the people __10__ watched this video, researchers found that those who were highly empathic would get hotter in their arms. This means that they were feeling the other p erson’s pain.Section B (10’)Directions:Complete the following sentences by using the words or phrases in the box.

Six months later, 20 more were added.

The organization sent out a campus-wide 57 to decide where to put future parking stations and get advice on bike models.

Boris Suchkov, the finance director of Big Red Bikes, explained, “When graduates go to live somewhere else, they have this expectation that biking should be a part of life.” He added, “We believe that students who are 60 to an environmentally sustainable transport systemduring their college years will be more likely to 61 and need sustainable systems of all kinds in the future.”III.

It sounds like a simple 63 , especially for a group of high school students, but not for these students at Mountain View Alternative High School in Centreville, Virginia.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AI was impressed by a lecture presented by a famous memory expert, Ron White. Ron started the lecture by having 250 people in attendance get up from their seats. He then asked everyone to take off the name tags they were issued when they entered the lecture hall and put them away for a moment.Ron then went around the room and addressed each person individually by name and asked them to take a seat!How did Ron know the names of the 250 people in attendance? He had learned them all in 45 minutes while walking around the room, reading name tags. And, to be honest, he probably didn’t need that long.Ron is a two-time national memory champion, winning the USA Memory Championship in 2009 and 2010. He holds the record for being the fastest to memorize a deck of shuffled (打乱的) cards in only 1 minute and 27 seconds.His secret is similar to what Dale Carnegie talks about in his book, How to Develop Self-confidence & Influence People by Public Speaking, where he says the “natural laws of remembering” are impression, repetition and association.The basis for this method involves associating pictures with names and numbers that you can easily recall. For example, for the number “ten”, associate a picture of something that sounds like “ten”, such as a “hen” or “pen”. Then imagine that the tenth item you have to recall is a windmill (风车). To associate the name, do not think of the word “ten” at all. Instead, imagine a fantastic image in your mind of a hen sitting on a windmill, or a windmill pumping ink to fill the pen.When you are asked what the tenth object was called, don’t think of “ten”, but rather, ask yourself where the hen was sitting, or picture ink spewing (喷涌) out of the top of the windmill and flowing into the top of the pen.The study of memory is a fascinating subject and one that will serve you well if you put in some time reading up on the techniques to develop it.77. The author was impressed by the memory expert because ___________.A. he had the habit of remembering people’s namesB. he started the lecture by asking the audience to get upC. he asked the audience to put away their name tagsD. he learned the names of the audience in just 45 minutes78. What can we learn about Ron White from the passage?A. He is as famous as Dale Carnegie.B. He has written a book about how to remember cards quickly.C. He won the USA Memory Championship twice.D. He is proud of impressing people with his talent.79. What is the key step in the process of association?A. Think of the names to remember in your mind.B. Imagine the names and numbers to be simple things.C. Repeat the names and numbers as much as possible.D. Associate fantastic images that sound like the names and numbers.80. What will the author probably discuss in the following paragraph?A. The benefits of mastering the techniques to develop memory.B. A comment by the famous memory expert.C. How the memory theory influences people.D. The popularity of the national memory championship.BParents caught lying to the authorities to get their children into top state schools will have their children’s places automatically withdrawn under new rules.Officials will investigate at least 10% of applications to root out cheating, and set up a hotline for parents to report their doubts about other families. If a family moves within the year of making an application, officials will make an re-examination of the case to check if they have given false information about where they live in order to get into a top-performance nearby school.Officials said that parents should sign a statement, promising their application was truthful after being given clear warnings. If cheating was detected, the child’s place would be withdrawn immediately.Officials statistics published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families today showed that one in six children in England did not get into their first choice secondary school. In total 83.2% of families were given a place at their top preferred school on National Offer Day earlier this month, which is unchanged from last year. But there were huge regional differences around the country – in London and Birmingham, only 66% got their first choice school. Some 94.9% of children got a place at one of their top three preferred schools, which is slightly up from last year.Officials also recommended a media campaign to point out that lying to get a place is not a victimless crime. Educators estimated that only a tiny minority of parents applied dishonestly, and they commented that every place gained by cheating is denying another child his rightful place. No child should be punished for his parents’ actions, but neither should families on waiting lists be unfairly disadvantaged or delayed.81. If you suspect someone has used false information in their application, you can ___________A. re-examined the case and check it out.B. report it to the related schoolC. ask to withdraw the child’s placeD. dial a special phone number82. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ______________.A. far more children can go to their first preferred school than beforeB. children in big cities have more chances of attending satisfying schools.C. the application situations differ in different parts of BritainD. 94.9 % of children have the chance to go to their top preferred school83. The underlined part “lying to get a place is not a victimless crime”in the last paragraphmeans _____________.A. what liars get is at the cost of others’ rightB. people who lie to get a place are criminalsC. schools should have liars’ places withdrawnD. children should be punished for their parents’ deeds84. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce the overall situation of school applications in Britain.B. To summarize application methods for preferred schools.C. To stress the negative consequences of lying.D. To remind people that dishonesty in school applications will be punished.CWarmer weather will most likely make it impossible for polar bears to survive on the shores of Hudson’s Bay, Canada, in 20 to 30 years. So says the worlds’ best-known polar bear expert, Ian Stirling, who has studied polar bears as a biologist for 41 years – longer than anyone else in the field.“It’s not speculation (猜测),”said Stirling. “By the middle of the century, we’re likely to have lost two thirds of the worl d’s polar bears.”While Stirling has little hope for the bears of Hudson’s Bay, he remains optimistic that Canadians can save the majestic species living farther north by taking action on climate change.The loss of Arctic ice is the main threat to Canada’s southern-most polar bear populations. An estimated 1,600 bears live in the region, according to satellite images. Stirling said, “That’s faster than most scientific models predicted.”Since his first visit in 1970 to Churchill, Canada’s polar bear hub for tourists and scientists alike, the ice has progressively melted earlier and frozen later. Without ice floes (冰川), the bears have no platform from which to hunt their meal of choice — the ringed seal. Larger bears can snag the occasional walrus (海象) on land, but the entire population can’t get by without seals.The most crucial feeding time for the bears is between early April and July when the ringed seals are young, unaware and easier to catch. Bears gain up to 70 per cent of their yearly energy during this period, so it can be deadly when it’s cut short by three weeks, Stirling said.W hen they’re starving,they go searching for an alternate foo d source, and that’s mainly going to be human settlements,” said Stirling. The majority of these hostile interactions happen in Churchill, where a polar bear jail has been set up to hold aggressive bears.Stirling said, “Canada is home to more than 60 per cent of the world’s estimated 25,000 polar bears. Studying them throws light on the entire Arctic ecosystem. They’re a fantastic part of biodiversity of the planet. “If Canadians don’t care about what’s happening in the Arctic in general and polar bears i n particular, then why should the rest of the world care?”85. From Stirling, we can learn that _________.A. the polar bears in Canada will disappear in 20 to 30 yearsB. all the polar bears in the world will disappear by the middle of the centuryC. Canadians can save the polar bears by making them live farther northD. the polar bears’ situation is worse than what most scientific models predicted86. What is the main threat to the polar bears in Hudson’s Bay?A. Being hunted by man.B. The loss of Arctic ice.C. The decline of the ringed seal.D. The development of local tourism.87. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There is a polar bear jail in Churchill.B. It is estimated that about 25,000 bears live in the world.C. 10% of the Arctic ice has disappeared per year since 1979.D. From early April to July is an important time for the polar bears.88. In the last paragraph, what is the purpose of Stirling’s words?A. To call on Canadians to protect polar bears.B. To analyze the entire Arctic ecosystem.C. To ask Canadians to focus on their living conditions.D. To tell Canadians that it is too cold for polar bears.I.

高一英语下学期期末试卷含答案第I卷第一部分：浏览知道(共两小节，20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)第一节浏览下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(共15小题，满分30分)AAs a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want theiryounger brother listening to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone andfeeling forgotten.I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles fromtown and I hardly saw my own friends outside of school. Iheard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn't know me he greeted melike a long lost friend, licking(舔) my chin and sittingbeside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I patted and talked to this four-legged angel. Helet me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowingthat no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.I believe that God sent him at that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.1.How did the writer feel when his brothers’ friends came?A. Proud.B. Worried.C. Lonely.D. Happy.2.The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ______.A. it was his friendB. it could understand himC. it looked like an angelD. it was friendly to him3.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______.A. the boy met a long lost friendB. the boy had no friends at schoolC. the dog spent the afternoon with the boy and his brothersD. the dog helped the boy realize that he was loved4.The author wrote the story to______.A. encourage people to talk about their troublesB. show knowing you are loved is the most importantC. tell people they should treat animals friendlyD. share his unforgettable experience with usBI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here's what I wanted to tell you today: get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love，and who love you. And remember that love is notleisure(休闲) but work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of living. I learned to live many years ago. Something really，really bad happened to me，something that changed my life. If I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey，not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it，completely and totally. And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this：read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live with joy andpassion(豪情) as it ought to be lived.5. How did the author form her view of life?A.Through social experience.B.By learning from her friends.C.Through an unfortunate experience.D. From her children and husband.6. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of living.” in the fifth paragraph，the author really means that people tend to________.A.make a living rather than live a real lifeB.work rather than enjoy lifeC.waste a lot in lifeD.forget the most important lesson in life7. What’s the author’s attitude towards work?A.Do it well to serve others.B.Earn enough money to make life better.C.Try your best to get higher position and pay.D.Don’t let it affect your real life.8. It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.the author is a success in personal lifeB.the author doesn’t try her best to work wellC.the author spends all her time caring for her childrenD.the author likes traveling very muchCMom’s birthday present? It may be a difficult thing for some people, but for me, it is an easy thing. Mom loved s, so every year I sent her s. Actually she had a bed of irises (鸢尾花) in the backyard of her small, Indiana farm. They were beautiful. “Take some,” she said, “Dig some up and plant them on the side of your own ho use.”But in my yard they became lacking in energy. A year passed, then two, but not one appeared. I cut back all their green leaves. I was tired of seeing them so lonely. Finally, I dug the irises up and threw them away.About that time Mom died unexpectedly. My sister and I sold the farm. I never went back to see the irises. I just couldn’t stand seeing another family living in our home—Mom’s home. Autumn came, then winter. The following spring, as Mom’s birthday approached, I struggled with the questionof how to remember her. I stared out of the window and saw a few stubborn irises in my side yard sprouting (发芽), —tall, thin but less. Because of seeing them, I decided to order s as I always did on Mom’s birthday, and send them to my sister. I wished so badly I could still send s to Mom. But that was impossible.On the morning of Mom’s birthday, I was in my car ready to work. Something in the yard caught my eye. The irises! One had bloomed with s, big, showy and purple, as lovely as they ever had been on Mom’s farm. I smiled and turned my eyes upward. I could no longer send s to Mom. But somehow, she’d been able to send them to me.9.According to the first paragraph, Mom ________.A. didn’t like the presents from the authorB. wanted to give the author some sC. lived with the author on an Indiana farmD. got different birthday presents from the author every year10.At first, the irises in the author’s yard ________.A. all died quicklyB. grew as well as on Mom’s farmC. didn’t bloom at allD. grew bet ter than those on Mom’s farm11.What troubled the author?A. She didn’t know how to grow irises.B. She regretted they had sold Mom’s farm.C. She couldn’t bear others living in Mom’s home.D. She didn’t know what to do in memory of Mom.12.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. All the irises in the author’s yard bloomed.B. The author went to see the irises in Mom’s yard.C. It was Mom who took care of these irises in the author’s yard.D. The author thought the blooming irises were gifts from Mom.DThe following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper.Dear editor,I’d like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the factthat students have different interests and abilities. I understand that grades are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitrary(果断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena SmithDrama ClubDear editor,I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate(激发) students to work at their highest level of competence(能力). Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure students’ achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university. I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job andwill help me get into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon HarperScience Club13.Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith’s opinion?A. Grades should not be used to measure a person’s success.B. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.C. St udents’ creativity may not be developed for grades.D. Grades should be taken away at once.14.We can learn Simon Harper _____.A. is concerned about students' creativityB. believes in the benefits of good gradesC. doesn't work too hard at his studiesD. supports students' interests and abilities15.From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a/an_____.A. studentB. teacherC. headmasterD. advertiser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选项。

Lucinda talks with the customer face to faceD. all the customers don’t agree with what Lucinda wroteBWhen I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough— it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.4. The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because .A. she couldn't talk with her motherB. her mother made her nervousC. her father wanted to teach herD. she didn't trust her mother5. At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her .A. happyB. disappointedC. satisfiedD. uneasy6. What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?A. Her Dad was a chatty person.B. Her Dad was the best teacher.C. Her Dad liked modern music.D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.7. With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that .A. fathers love their daughters dearlyB. family members need real communicationC. mothers are less patient than fathersD. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationshipCFor career changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy,” he says.The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be ofgreen-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.8. Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?A. To explain the importance of technology.B. To provide evidence of his recent research.C. To inform us of the way of finding green-collar jobs.D. To indicate the bright future of green careers.9. Which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?A. Promoting services.B. Developing new resources.C. Consuming fossil fuels.D. Training employees.10. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The requirements for green employees.B. The development of the green industry.C. The job chances in the environmental industry.D. The economic influence of green careers.11. The passage is written to _______.A. discuss eco-friendly servicesB. suggest ways of saving energy at workC. introduce promising career chancesD. explain the best method of finding jobsDBoys’ school s are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music．Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(男子气概)，the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(传统观念)，a US study says．Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions，rather than feeling they had to obey the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”．The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls．Tony Little，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls．He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls．The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills．But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the author of the study, A bigail James of the University of Virginia．Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them．Because boys generally have sharper vision，learn best through touch, and are physically more active，they need to be given “hands-on”lessons where they are allowed to walk around．“Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote．Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships．“In mixed scho ols boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported.12．The author believes that a single-sex school would ．A.force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”B.help to form masculine aggressiveness in boysC.encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD.naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys13．It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ．A.perform betterB.grow up more healthilyC.behave more responsiblyD.receive a better education14．What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A.It fails more boys than girls academically．B.It focuses more on mixed school education．C.It fails to give boys the attention they need．D.It places more pressure on boys than on girls．15．According to Abigail James，one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ．A. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spiritB.boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-mindedC.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inD. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys第二节（共5小题；毎小题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。

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “H aving been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income.

If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ me ntal well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon. B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question. D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies. B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants. D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering. B．Interesting. C．Conventional. D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like….One of the first sightings upon entering the park which I found was a huge herd（群）of elephants. Our guide told us that Tagrangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large herds of elephants, and that their population in the park was around 2,500. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch（痒处）.To the right of the elephant herd, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years. Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs（侏儒）! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees.As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us. It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade under brushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed just to our right, therewere a couple of fresh zebra corpses（尸体）— it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the actual kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra corpses were fresh and the kill had occurred within the last hour.Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars, with a sleeping leopard（美洲豹）there! We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and that I have inspired you to add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route.56. How did the writer travel in Tanzania Tarangire?A. By carB. On horsebackC. On footD. By bicycle57. Which statement is correct about the park?A. It covers an area of about 2,580 square kilometersB.

A travel agencyBSome students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious exam-takers.“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam,” says Sian Beilock.The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math exams. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam.The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B+, compared with a B－for those who did not.But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam orpresentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance.61. In which paragraph does the author introduce the background(背景) of his study?A. In the first paragraph.B. In the second paragraph.C. In the third paragraphD. In the last paragraph.62. According to Sian Beilock, if you want to succeed in an exam you should ______.A. be as serious as you can about the exam.B. focus your attention on the exam.C. set clear study goals and keep themD. make a careful preparation for the exam63. We can infer from the study that students who sit quietly before the exam ______.A. are more likely to get better exam results.B. have a positive attitude towards exam results.C. worry more about the exam in their mind.D. have a strong will to be successful in the exam.64. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “______”.A. looking for a chanceB. preparing for the examC. writing about the feelingsD. taking the exam65. If a student writes about his feelings before an exam, he ______.A. will improve his exam resultB. can keep a good memory of the examC. will get support from his teachersD. will forget what he has prepared for the examC66.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.CPR is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (心肺复苏). It forces air into the lungs and pumps(用泵抽) blood and oxygen to the brain in order to increase the chances that a person whose heart stopswill survive. It increases the chances that he or she will suffer little or no brain damage.The American Heart Association suggests two ways to perform CPR. One combines the use of hands to pump the victim’s chest（胸腔）with rescue breathing. The other method is called “Hands-Only CPR”, which is for people who are unwilling or unable to perform rescue breathing. Some people fear infection(感染). Others say they are afraid of making the patient worse.But the American Heart Association strongly asks people in contact with a victim(受害者) to take action and tells how to take it. It says you can recognize a person needing CPR. He or she is unconscious(无意识) -- unable to communicate or react to surroundings or speech. His or her skin has lost color. The person is not breathing. If such conditions describe the situation, chances are the heart has stopped beating.You should act by calling for help, or sending someone else. Even if you cannot do mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing, you can perform Hands-Only CPR. You can do chest compressions(压迫) that help to keep blood flowing to the brain and the heart. To perform the compressions, place one hand over the other and press firmly on the center of the victim’s chest. Push down about five centimeters. Aim for one hundred compressions each minute.Doctor Sayre suggests that medical workers do both the breathing method and chest compressions as usual. He says some victims, including babies, need the mouth-to-mouth breathing with the compressions. Still, the doctor says it is better to do just chest compressions than to do nothing.Title: CPR71____________To increase the chances of survivalTypes of CPR•The use of hands to pump the victim’s chest with 72. ____________.•73. ________________.Who to perform “Hands-Only C PR”People ---• unwilling or unable to perform CPR•74. ____________• afraid of making the patient worseWho to receive CPRPeople ---• 75. ____________• 76._____________ or react to surroundings or speech• pale in pale• unable to breathe77. _________ CPR• Place one hand on the other• Press firmly on the center of 78. _________•79. ____________ about 5 centimeters• Perform 100 compressions each minuteDr. Sayre’s suggestions•In usual cases:the breathing method and chest compressions.•In some cases (babies related):80. ____________.Section B（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993. Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water, but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use?Water shortageThe World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.How to save waterTurn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks!Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day.Fix the leak. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason!We each share responsibility for the sustainable management(可持续管理) of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, ev ery time.81.
