广东省汕头市潮阳黄图盛中学2023-2024学年高二下学期第二次阶段考试英语试题
广东省汕头市潮阳黄图盛中学2023-2024学年高二下学期第二次阶段考试英语试题一、阅读理解We’ve tested hundreds of mom-approved products that happen to make perfect Mother’s Day gifts. Here are our recommendations.BabbelIf your mom has always wanted to learn a new language, give her the gift of gab with Babbel. Each online course will be personalized by her interests and molded into bite-sized lessons so she can easily learn at her own pace. It’s a great budget-friendly option for diving into a new language. We tested it and found it to be a fun and effective language learning tool.Thermo Works Thermapen Mk4When it comes to the best digital meat thermometers, it doesn’t get better than Thermo-Works. We highly recommend the Thermapen ONE, which was the fastest and most accurate thermometer we tested and would have been our top pick if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s waterproof, precise and fast-acting.A Bouqs SubscriptionFresh flowers at Mom’s doorstep will always be appreciated, especially on Mother’s Day. This year, instead of just one bouquet, gift her a subscription to Bouqs. You can change the frequency of the delivery along with the type of blooms she receives—roses one month, sunflowers the next. She may adorably text you a picture of her bouquet every month it arrives and remind you to maintain the subscription. Go ahead and switch it up to keep Mom on her toes.A Personalized Collage(拼贴画)There are few gifts better than personalized ones, especially when it comes to the mom who pretty much already has everything. With services like Minted, you can upload your own photos for a collage and watch your beautiful creation come to life. Customize the frame and color theme to best match mom’s style and watch her fall in love with her new heartfelt gift.1．What might discourage people from choosing the Thermapen ONE?A．Price.B．Function.C．Accuracy.D．Appearance.2．What do we know about A Bouqs Subscription?A．It can be canceled at random.B．It texts to remind renewing.C．It restricts to monthly deliveries.D．It offers wide choices of flowers.3．In which column of a website is the text probably taken from?A．Life.B．Wellness.C．Literature.D．Entertainment.Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4．Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A．To question the common belief of courage.B．To argue for the true nature of courage.C．To show the changing meaning of courage.D．To compare different interpretations of courage.5．What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A．Keep to a suitable pace.B．Seek help whenever possible.C．Challenge her own limits.D．Stick with experienced climbers. 6．Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A．The mother asked the girl to rest.B．The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C．The two students pointed out the group’s fault.D．The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.7．What does the author intend to tell us?A．Kindness connects us all.B．Being a beginner takes courage.C．We don’t have to be a hero to be brave.D．With courage, everyone can be perfect.From crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees, Canada’s nature is admired around the world. Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered. An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health — both mental and physical — by taking a stroll in nature.The prescriptions are provided by PaRX, in partnership with Parks Canada. The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves. PaRX, a health initiative (倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia Parks Foundation, notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives, increased energy, reduced stress and anxiety, improved heart health, less pain and better mood. Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits. The organization also hopes that the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan,Ontario and Manitoba. Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with nature,” Steven Guilbeault, the environment minister, said. “I am confident this programme will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand throughout the country.”Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a treatment for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, immune function and insomnia (失眠). Previously, though, they would write more general prescriptions, such as spending time in nature twice a week, for at least 20 minutes at a time. This is the first time that they have been able to equip their patients with tickets.8．Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A．To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.B．To advertise Canada’s natural scenery.C．To introduce a health initiative program.D．To demonstrate health benefits of nature. 9．What makes the prescriptions significant?A．A boom in park visiting.B．A rise in economy.C．Investment in conservation.D．Improvement in health.10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Patients doubt the general prescriptions.B．The previous “nature therapy” is popular.C．It is a tradition to offer patients park tickets.D．“Nature therapy” is no longer just on paper.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Nature Heals Mental DiseasesB．Canada Possesses Admirable NatureC．Doctors Order A Walk in The WildernessD．Canadian Doctors Have Free Access to ParksFeeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities (like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.12．What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Magic solution.B．Physical power.C．Psychological test.D．Relaxed atmosphere.13．How did the researchers carry out the new study?A．By doing large-scale online surveys.B．By giving interviews and mental tests.C．By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D．By conducting experiments and analyzing data.14．What is a distinct finding of the new research?A．Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B．Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C．Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D．How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.15．What is the focus of the last paragraph?A．The importance of burning stress.B．Easy and fun activities to kill time.C．Further explanation of being productive.D．The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.Scuba diving (水肺潜水) is much safer than many other sports. 16 Studies show only 2 fatalities per 100,000 dives which is much less compared to dangers posed by several other sports activities. If you have been trained and ensure all the safety precautions (预防措施), the probability of accidents is minimal.Here are four things that you must keep in mind to make sure you are diving safely.Do not exceed (超过) your limitsDiving is supposed to be fun and not stressful. 17 There are different depth limits, skills, and experience with various certification (证书) levels, so do not try to exceed those limits as they are for your safety only.Double-check your equipmentYour scuba equipment is your lifeline and essential for your survival underwater. 18 Make sure you have all the equipment and backups needed.Always cross-check the equipment with your partner. Make sure you know where safety features such as emergency oxygen, first aid kit, and integrated weight systems are at all times.Breathe, breathe, and breathe19 Holding your breath underwater can cause an air bubble (气泡) to enter the bloodstream, resulting in an injury that can be fatal.Physical fitness is necessaryIf you are diving for the first time, get yourself medically examined. If you’re alreadycertified, avoid diving when you are not feeling well. 20 Certain health problems, such as obesity, heart disease, and hypertension, all increase the risk of an accident.A．The rate of accidents is low.B．Try to hold your breath as long as you can.C．Never attempt a dive that is beyond your qualification.D．Unfortunately, scuba diving accidents sometimes result in death.E．Never miss out on the final checks of the equipment before you dive.F．The most important of all the rules is never to hold your breath underwater.G．A simple cold may not be harmful on land, but it can be dangerous underwater.二、完形填空I have traveled alone many times.

They have more money, more funding and better resources and they don’t have the more challenging students we get in the state sector.That was before I became a teacher-researcher in a two-year project led by my college, aiming to find the best way to support high-ability students. With funding from the London Schools Excellence Fund, we teamed up with some of the country’s top private schools, like Eton and St Paul’s, as well as a number of state schools, to find out how to bring the knowledge-rich learning that characterizes independent schools into the state sector.Before the project, I hadn’t had much contact with people who had been educated there. But the first thing I found when I visited was that teachers are the same. In the independent sector, they have challenges too—just different ones.After two years, our research project has produced a huge set of findings.One of the most useful findings was the importance of independent learning habits outside the classroom. I realized that although I was always telling students that they needed to do four to five hours of private study a week, they didn’t have a clear idea of what this could look like beyond making notes. So I set them different activities including reading articles, doing activities and completing examination questions.I started to put much more emphasis on activities outside the classroom, like researching topics beyond the syllabus(教学大纲) or discussing things in the news. And I praised anyone who asked questions in class, so we created a culture where students were proud to ask a question rather than seeing it as a way of flagging upthe fact that they hadn’t understood something.My research is beginning to have a real influence. My students now come to class and tell me what they want to know about. But they no longer expect me to do the research—they want to find out for themselves. At the end of the year I gave students a questionnaire on independent learning. One wrote, “Independent learning would limit the help I got from other students. It helps you to think for yourself.”4．What did the author say about independent school students before her research? A．They were troublemakers.B．They enjoyed excellent learning conditions.C．They performed worse than state school students.D．They faced the same challenges as state school students.5．Why did the author join the project?A．To introduce good learning methods to state schools.B．To exchange teaching ideas with other teachers.C．To partner with other schools in education.D．To find enough funds for state schools.6．What changes did the author make in her classes?A．She focused on group learning. B．She worked out a different syllabus. C．She encouraged independent learning. D．She carried out various activities in class.7．How is the author’s research going?A．It has made a big difference. B．It has failed to make progress.C．I t is questioned by her students. D．It involves many more students.CThe University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the "Gaokao" exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences.University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmighamˈs wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. "Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements.Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birminghamˈs China Institute said: "The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham.

He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote（《堂吉诃德》）. And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before?We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stoppe d learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learnto bear with the things we can’t change. We lear n to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.Many of us equate(视……等同于) “commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck, or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.12．The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ________.A．loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativityB．age is not a barrier to achieving on e’s goalC．misery inspires a man to fight against his fateD．disability cannot stop a man’s pursuit of success13．What could be inferred from Paragraph 4？A．Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.B．Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.C．Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.D．Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.14．What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5？A．A tough man can tolerate suffering.B．A wise man can live without self-pity.C．A man should try to satisfy people around him.D．A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life.15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？A．To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.B．To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.C．To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.D．To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.EIf you’re feeling empty, you’re not alone. Many of us feel empty in different ways. For instance, you might feel empty because something is missing in your life. Or the emptiness might stem from slowly abandoning yourselves, not listening to your own hopes and desires. Abandoning yourselves can also spark anxiety, depression, guilt and shame, 16．. Here are several suggestions to help you out.Acknowledge the emptiness. If you're experiencing emptiness that's more like a gaping hole, acknowledge it, and be gentle with yourself. 17． If this emptiness is because of a loved one's passing, get angry with yourself. In that case you learn to live life alongside that hole of missing that person.Explore your feelings of emptiness. Scientists suggested exploring the below questions. We can do this while journaling, taking a walk or drinking a cup of tea.●Do I tell myself positive things?●What am I trying to prove or win?●18．●Am I blaming myself for things that are out of my control?19． Fight the urge to turn to the outside world for fulfillment. Instead of trying to fill the emptiness with drugs, alcohol, TV, computer games or anything else, look within, and spend time with yourself. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the more you practice devoting time and energy to yourself and caring for yourself, the less present those empty feelings, will be.20．Whether you are experiencing difficult relationships, losses, or feeling a lack of purpose or mining, you are worthy of a fulfilling and meaningful life. A．Explore your current feelings.B．Spend with yourself every day.C．How do you handle your emptiness?D．Den t heat yourself up for feeling this way.E. Have I been judging myself or comparing myself to others?F. It's important to acknowledge and accept your feelings of emptiness.G. Do you too much time on TV, computer games or anything else?二、完形填空（一共40小题，每小题1.5分，总计60分）AThe Value of EducationI have just started my job as an English Language Assistant in the Parisian suburbs.I was 21 by how rich Paris really is.

2022-2023学年辽宁省葫芦岛市联合体高二下学期第二次考试英语试题
2022-2023学年辽宁省葫芦岛市联合体高二下学期第二次考试英语试题1. Four Inventions from WomenThough it wasn’t always easy to get patents or the credit, women are responsible for many items we use today. Below are some of them.A Solar HouseIn 1947, Mária Telkes, together with Eleanor Raymond, invented the world’s first modern residence heated with solar energy. The house was called Dover Sun House, built in Dover, Massachusetts, in 1948. She also invented other devices capable of storing energy captured from sunlight, and her remarkable achievements made a difference to current solar industry.A Computer TermGrace Hopper programmed for the earliest computer machines. Interestingly, Hopper’s first major inventi on in the field of software design was the creation of a famous computer term, “bug”. In 1947, she found a small moth in the Mark II computer, and it was this little bug that was “jamming(卡住)” the machine, Hopper jokingly referred to “failing to work” as a“bug”, a strange term that has since developed into a computer industry term.Dish Washing MachineAlong with another engineer, Josephine Cochrane invented the first hand-powered dish-washer. Patented in 1886, the first dish washing machine combined high water pressure, a wheel, a boiler, and a wire framework like the ones still used for dish drying. As its inventor, Josephine Cochrane never used dishwasher herself, but it made others’ life easier.Home Security SystemYou might be surprised to discover that the first home security system was actually invented by Marie Van Brittan Brown in 1966. Alongside her husband, she created a system containing a sliding camera, a two-way microphone, TV monitors. There was also an emergency button with which the police could be contacted in case of emergencies, and a remote control used to unlock doors.1. Which of the following was created by a woman alone?A．The solar house. B．The computer term.C．The home security system. D．The dish washing machine.2. What powered Josephine Cochrane’s dish washing machine?A．Solar energy. B．Electricity.C．Air pressure. D．Manpower.3. How can we call the police when using the first home security system?A．By turning to a remote control.B．By using a new two-way microphone.C．By pressing on the emergency button.D．By calling for help into sliding camera.2. Marathon is one of the most difficult races in track and field, at a little over 42 kilometers. To be a world-class marathoner, you must run that distance in two and a half hours. But for some, completing a marathon race is a lifelong dream.Jacqueline’s dream of being a world-class runner began when she was a child in Kenya. She soon realized she had the talent and the willpower to compete. She also knew she would have to train full-time, which meant not being able to work to help support her family. But she was confident that she could bring home prize money.Jacqueline traveled to China to compete in the Zheng-Kai marathon knowing she had a good shot at winning the race, but more importantly, the $10,000 prize that went with it. She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect(缺陷)had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race, and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.1. What can we know about Jacqueline from paragraph 2?A．She was born with little sports talent.B．Her goal was to win a championship.C．Her family opposed her going for a run.D．She had to train full-time to achieve her dream.2. Why did the male runner struggle to drink from a plastic bottle?A．He was disabled.B．He didn’t like bottled water.C．He was running forward in a hurry.D．He competed with other runners for water.3. What happened after Jacqueline helped the male runner?A．She won second place at last.B．She was criticised by her family.C．She was disqualified for going against rules.D．She fell behind several runners and gave up.4. What is the attitude of Jacqueline’s family towards her deed?A．Cautious. B．Approval. C．Critieal. D．Disappointed. 3. The ocean is critical to all oxygen-dependent life. But life is also critical to the ocean. The ocean produces so much oxygen because of ocean plants, which draw down Co and change it into carbon-based sugars and oxygen. Ocean plants are climate change heroes! There is now a wide recognition of the role of ocean life in slowing climate change.On many Pacific islands, whales support tourism economies. While concerned about the impacts of climate change on whales, we also need to recognize that whales can contribute to fighting climate change!Through their deep dives, vast migrations, long lifespan(寿命), and large bodies, whales have an enormous effect on the ocean.Whales both help ocean plants to draw down CO and help to store carbon in the ocean. Firstly, they provide essential nutrients that enable ocean plants to grow. Whale waste is a fertilizer, bringing nutrients from the depths, where whales feed, to the surface, where plants need these nutrients to grow well. Migratory whales also bring nutrients with them from highly-productive feeding grounds to the nutrient-poor waters of whales’ breeding grounds, boosting the growth of ocean plants across the ocean.Secondly, whales keep the carbon locked in the ocean, out of the atmosphere, where it could otherwise contribute to climate change. Ocean plants produce carbon-based sugars, but with a very short lifespan. They can’t store the carbon. When they die, much carbon is released in surface waters, and can be changed back to CO2. Whales, however, can live for over a century, feeding on food chains that begin with the sugars in these tiny plants, and storing up the carbon in their bodies. When whales die, deep ocean life feeds on their remains, and the carbon formerly stored in whales’ bodies can enter sediment(沉淀物), When carbon reaches deep ocean sediment, it is effectively locked away, and therefore unable to drive climate change. This carbon is unlikely to return as CO2 in the atmosphere.Several Pacific island countries are already leaders in whale conservation, having declared whale sanctuaries in their waters. Every year, whales socialize, breed, and give birth in Pacific island waters.1. How do surface ocean plants get nutrients for growth?A．From whale waste. B．From the whales’ bodies.C．From the sunlight. D．From ocean sediment.2. Why are ocean plants unable to store the carbon?A．They lack nutrients for growth.B．They never absorb carbon-based sugars.C．Carbon-based sugars can’t be generated by them.D．The carbon in them is released after their death.3. What does the underlined word “sanctuaries” in the last paragraph mean?A．Shelters. B．Imports. C．Markets. D．Amusements. 4. What is the text mainly about?A．The importance of oceans to climate.B．The bad effects of CO 2 to climate changes.C．The role of whales in slowing climate change.D．The importance of oceans to all oxygen-dependent life.4. New York has become the most recent state to ban the sale of some animals in pet stores. A new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul bans the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in retail shops. The new law encourages pet stores to work with animal rescue groups and shelters to make space for rescued animals that are available for adoption.California was the first state to pass a retail ban in 2017. Maryland followed in 2018 and a statewide ban in Illinois went into effect in February. Maine and Washington passed laws that ban the sales in new pet stores. Now, more than 300 cities and counties throughout the United States have passed pet-sale bans. There are at least 10,000 commercial pet stores in the country, and fewer than 3,000 of them are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to the estimates from the Humane Society of the United States.In these commercial pet stores, animals are usually kept in dirty, crowded cages with limited access to medical care and human interaction. They often don’t get enough to eat or drink, have little protection from cold or heat; and don’t have a separate place to go to the bathroom. Many animals raised in the commercial pet stores go on to have physical and emotional problems.Although conditions are often horrible, commercial pet stores are usually legal unless authorities are called in to close those with extremely inhumane(不人道的)conditions. “Dogs, cats, and rabbits across New York deserve loving homes and humane treatment,” Governor Hochul said in a statement. “I’m proud to sign this law, which will make meaningful steps to cut down on bad treatment and protect the welfare of animals across the state.” However, some pet store owners have argued that the law will cause a large quantity of pet stores in New York to close.1. What is the new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul about?A．Avoiding abusing pets.B．Preventing adopting pets.C．Forbidding distributing pets.D．Forbidding trading certain pets in pet stores.2. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?A．The operation mode of commercial pet stores.B．The problems faced by commercial pet stores.C．The poor living conditions of the pets in pet stores.D．The physical and emotional problems of some animals.3. What can we learn about the law from the last paragraph?A．It is well received.B．It is highly profitable.C．It takes ages to see the results.D．It may also have its shortcoming.4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．New York state offers medical care to animalsB．New York state bans pet stores from selling some animalsC．New York state assists pet store owners with lawsD．New York state ignores the horrible conditions of pets5. Have you ever wondered what your pet is thinking or feeling and what he is trying to tell you? If you answer “yes”, ways below may help to strengthen your bond and relat ionship with him.1 Animals will use many parts of their bodies to convey various feelings. Being observant to how your pet uses his body can let you know if he’s feeling playful, sick, or maybe even angry. For example, Your dog may narrow his eyes and stare at you to indicate that he is feeling aggressive.Identify your pet’s vocalizations(发声). 2 Learning how to distinguish these sounds will help you determine how your pet is feeling. He will vocalize for several reasons, including acknowledging his presence and expressing anxiety. 3Talk with your pet. Your pet may not exactly understand the words that you are saying. 4 For example, if you speak with him in a strict voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior. Talking with your pet can also help soothe(抚慰)him if he is feeling anxious or fearful.Punish your pet properly. Verbally and physically punishments help correct his misbehaving. Punishment can make your pet fearful of you and possibly increase the trust and respect that he has for you. 5 Don’t avoid punishing your pet.6.

Those who are pet lovers.3. What is the cheapest book mainly about?A. A story of life with poodles.B. Important health topics.C. An inspiring journey to success.D. Memoirs of a wildlife biologist.BNisha Pradhan is worried. The recent college graduate just turns 21 and plans to live on her own. But she’s afraid she won’t be able to stay safe. That’s because she isn’t able to smell.Back home, her family do her smelling for her. She’s moved in with them for now, but she’s looking for a place of her own. “Now that I’m searching for ways or place to live as an independent person, I find that the sense of smell is important to how we live our lives,〞 Pradhan says.She says when she was a child she liked to eat and ate a lot. But there came a point where she lost interest in food.“One of the first things that people notice whenever they have a smellproblem is that food doesn’t taste right any more,〞 says Beverly Cowart, a researcher. That’s because eating and smell go hand in hand. How food tastes often rely on what we smell. “When you lose your sense of smell, your whole sense of food flavors changed and reduced,〞Cowart says, “You can still taste the basic tastes. What you’re missing are the small distinctions.〞“When I go out to eat I have often found that food is very tasteless to me.I never feel full,〞she says. “I think a lot of us today like to pretend tobe food lovers and we all like to talk ab out ‘Oh, I think this could use alittle bit more flavor,’ or ‘I think this has a hint of meat,’ I can’treally participate in those conversations,〞 she says.Pradhan thinks her smell loss also may have affected her memory. Pradhanmay be on to something, according to biologist Paul Moore. “When smell signals come in, you feel about them first. And then you think about it and then the memory is laid down. So without the feel part, the thinking about its part doesn’t come And that means no new smell memory g ets created.〞4.What is true about Pradhan?A. She has had no sense of smell since she was born.B. She suffers from loss of appetite through lack of smell sense.C. She has something wrong with her stomach.D. She is looking for a roommate to share the cost.5. What can we infer from what Beverly Cowart said?A. People with a smell problem have no food tastes.B. Different food tastes the same for people of smell loss.C. Lack of smell sense makes eating a dull experience.D. People feel hungry easily for lack of smell sense.6. When eating out, Pradhan ________.A. feels left out sometimesB. often has a good appetiteC. pretends to have good smell senseD. has a sense of being full quickly7. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Pradhan may be right.B. Pradhan may be foolish.C. Pradhan may be crazy.D. Pradhan may be forgettable.CMany 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 whenyou became friends. Also, you may be disturbed by mass messages (群发信息(xìnxī)) 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 (千篇一律的) blessings in holidays.You would have thought about dele ting this type of “friends〞 and sort out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success. Besides, it would be really awkward if they found that you 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. But the fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing number of your friends in social media.If the number of your friends reaches 150, maintaining these relationships can be 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.8. 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.9. 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.10. 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.11. 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.DPart drama, part dark comedy, new film To the Bone talks about a young woman’s struggle with anorexia(厌食症). Though the film already got generally positive reviews at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, it has caused a hot Twitter debate around whether it could be harmful for those with eating disorders.Critics of the film have focused on the leading role Ellen: a young, thin, white woman with anorexia. They think there’re some plots that have made eating disorders look like trends instead of life-threatening illnesses. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anorexia has the highest mortality rate (死亡率) of any mental illness. Thirty million Americans struggle with eating disorders at some point in their lives.Director Marti Noxon based the film on her own battle with anorexia. She was aware of the film’s potential to trigger harmful effects and then tried to be really careful in the way she showed how Ellen looked. “You want to help other people understand something that they’ve never experienced, but you also want people who have experienced it to feel understood and seen and to give people hope,〞she added. “We were balancing a lot. I want to avoid the idea that the perfectionist quality of anorexics is their most obvious character.〞The film caught the attention of Liana Rosenman, who founded Project Heal, an organization that helps eating disorder sufferers afford treatment. “I thought it was very powerful,〞Rosenman said. “There is a sense of humor and wittiness in it as well as just understanding what it’s like to have an eating disorder.〞 Project Heal recently played To the Bone in New York and Los Angeles, but it has faced sharp criticism from members of their community on social media.12.What do we know about the film To the Bone from Paragraph 1?A. It tells the growth story about a girl.B. It has received mixed comments.C. It is popular among young people.D. Twitter users have no interest in it.13. What do Noxon’s words suggest?A. She admitted the film is harmful to people.B. She tried hard to make the film benefit people.C. All those suffering from anorexia want to be perfect.D. People who haven’t experienced anorexia can’t understand it.14. What’s Rosenman’s attitude towards the film?A. SupportiveB. NegativeC. UncertainD. Unconcerned15. Where’s the passage probabl y from?A. Medical magazine.B. Healthy Life Style magazine.C. A film review.D. A newspaper report.第二节 (一共(yīgòng)5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分)根据短文内容(nèiróng)，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful〞 as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew asmy father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.( )31.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A.

D She helped her family with her English.C“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.〞“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.〞( )39.

While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货) saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.( )43. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was b ike racing.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life ( )44. We can infer from the text that ________A. The couple worked 60 hours a weekB. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family ( )45. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.( )46. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.ERemembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．Recite and repeat in conversation．When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．Ask the other person to recite and repeat．You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effor t you’re making to learn their names．Admit you don’t know．Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?〞Use associations．Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.〞 To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.( )47. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.( )48. If you can't remember someone's name, you may __A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you ( )49.

This even was started by Jennifer Barlow of Midlothian, Virginia in 2003, and it is becoming more popular each year. It has been supported by the International Dark-Sky Association, the American Astronomical Society, and the Astronomical League.This even always occurs in April, during the week of the new moon so that the sky can be as dark as possible for the best viewing conditions.“It is my wish that people could see the night sky without other light in the sky as our ancestors (祖先) saw it hundreds of years ago,” explains Barlow.Since it only lasts a week and not everyone in the country will take part in it, how will the National Dark-Sky Week reduce light pollution? The main goal of NDSW is to increase awareness (意识) of the harmful effects of light pollution. It is not possible for all of the light pollution in this part of the world to disappear. However, it is possible to make a small difference in the quality of the night sky. Another goal of this even is to promote (促进) the use of better lighting systems that direct light toward the ground instead of up into the sky.Jennifer Barlow states, “The night sky is a gift of such beauty that it should not be polluted by wasted light. In this way, our children will not lose touch with the wonder of our universe.”11. This passage is mainly about ______________.A. better lighting systemsB. the beauty of the night skyC. the harm of light pollutionD. the National Dark-Sky Week12. Which of the following statements about the National Dark-Sky Week is WRONG?A. It is becoming more and more popular in America.B. The event was started in 2003 by Jennifer Barlow.C. The event takes place in the first week of every April.D. American people are supposed to turn off their lights during that week.13. What is Jennifer Barlow’s wish?A. That light would be directed up into the sky.B. That the sky would always be as dark as possible.C. That people could see the night sky without light pollution as our ancestors did.D.
