It was personal.Smith, a Hollywood leading man who admits that he’s far from enjoying outdoor activities, has put himself in danger while filming Welcome to Earth, a Disney+ original series from National Geographic. He was afraid at that time, but he say s “It’s really difficult to enjoy things if you’re scared. I think the ability to see how beautiful things are is directly connected to your openness to them and fear closes you down.”Smith says he was once scared of everything and hated water, but he learns to read the rapids (急流) while whitewater kayaking, rescues turtles near the Great Barrier Reef and goes 3,000 feet below the sea in a deep-water submarine.Dr. Albert Lin, an engineer and explorer who has uncovered lost cities previously for National Geographic, was astonished to find that Smith was able to control his fears even in the face of real danger. While diving in the underground lake in Namibia, Smith got into trouble and Lin watched him “dropping at a rate that felt like maybe we wouldn’t see him again.” But Smith was able to control his mind and deal with the situation. “I respected Will Smith, the actor, before, but now I definitely have grown to truly respect Will Smith, the human being,” says Lin.Produced by famous filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, the series carries on the tradition of National Geographic pushing the exploring envelope (极限) and employing the latest technology to help us understand our world. “I hope this can help people out there get a sense of how absolutely incredible our planet is,” says Lin.The experts Smith has paired with teach him about speed, smell and sound and the colors out there he might miss. “You can’t really want to protect something that you don’t understand. And you can’t want to protect something that you can’t recognize as beautiful,” Smith says.24. What enables you to enjoy beautiful things according to Smith?A. Spirit of adventure.B. Ability to find beauty.C. Respect for nature.D. Openness to change.25. What happened to Smith in Namibia?A. He found a lost city.B. He nearly lost his life in a lake.C. He entered a diving competition.D. He went deep under the sea in a submarine.26. What can be learned about “Welcome to Earth” from paragraph 5?A. It explains the origin of our planet.B. It targets potential explorers.C. It won important film awards.D. It applied advanced technology.27. Where is the text probably from?A. A guidebook.B. A book review.C. A magazine.D. A diary.COur children usually benefit from our wisdom and experience, and there are occasions when the tables are turned.Children are constantly amazed by the world round them and are always stopping to notice. They can spend endless moments watching the behavior of ants or other insects as we become impatient. The world is continuously new to them —as it should be to us if we weren’t so busy and distracted.Another experience struck me over the past few weeks. We have new neighbors who are renting the house next door for six weeks. They have three children. Last holiday my grandchildren came to spendtime with me and spent many hours playing with the kids next door, even though they had never met them before, even though they would probably never see them again, even though they knew nothing about them!None of those details matter to children. They don’t see black or white, or any other differences that sometimes separate us as adults. There is something so touching about their innocence (天真), and about their instant connection without any hindrances. In every child, they see a potential friend, someone to play and hang out with. They only see similarities. It may sound simple. Life is more complex, but we can learn from their eagerness to connect, from their true blindness to any difference, and from their expectations of good.We have become too judgmental to give people a chance. It’s possible that if our “neighbors” actually become unchanging, the relationship will change. It can get more complex. With more contact, maybe some per sonality differences will surface. Maybe it’s the temporary nature of the situation that allows the uninhibited (无拘无束) play to develop.But it doesn’t really matter, because the point is they gave them a chance. They didn’t come in with any prejudices (偏见). They didn’t have any pre-existing concepts of who they would meet, what this person stood for, or who or what they couldn’t stand.28. In which aspect do kids differ from adults according to Paragraph 2?A. Being curious about everything around.B. Being more acceptable to new things.C. Being more likely to get distracted.D. Being closely related to animals.29. Which word can replace the underlined word “hindrances” in Paragraph 4?A. resultsB. difficultiesC. failuresD. breaks30. What does the author think is the problem with adults?A. They have pre-existing opinions on others.B. They are unwilling to make a change.C. They prefer temporary relationships.D. They are meant to others’ mistakes.31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Finding a better way to communicate with kidsB. Giving others a chance when it is necessaryC. Appreciating the differences among kidsD. Learning from kids who play togetherDBoth my husband and I will celebrate birthdays in the next few weeks, and we are wondering where all the time has gone. Then we start to rethink about our years together, and the time before our relationship, and the memories flood back along with more smiles than tears. As a great deal of psychological research confirms, we actually recall more positive than negative memories as we age.New research by Erika Sparrow and colleagues, just published in the journal Psychology and Aging, reviewed 16 studies on aging and altruism (利他主义), asking whether people become more open-handed and are more willing to give as they get older. The answer is yes — regardless of financial status, the level of education, or gender, older people responded more willingly when asked to give resources or help others than younger people.So maybe all of us simply need to think happy thoughts. Can it really be this easy? Mara Maher reports, in the journal Memory and Emotion, that the focus on positive aspects of our past as we get older seems to be intentional, a specific goal-directed process to create more positive memories in order to increase our sense of well-being. So there are at least some good things about getting old! But must we age to obtain these benefits?Perhaps not. Ernst Bohlmeijer and colleagues found that people who experience even mild depression or daily stress benefit from “gratitude exercises”, daily diaries where individuals write about positive experiences of their day and reflect on past experiences for which they are grateful. Taking timeto actively think about and reflect on the positive experiences in our lives provides perspectives and improves our sense of well-being, regardless of our age.And we can start this process with our children! Research from The Family Narratives Lab has demonstrated many benefits of recalling happy memories between parents and children, including helping children learn to meet challenges and regulate their emotions.This birthday season, my husband and I will share our positive experiences as a gift to each other. In doing this, we will increase our sense of belonging and caring for each other, our family and our community.32. What did the new research from Erika’s team find about older people?A. They have a more open mind.B. They are more generous to others.C. They are more likely to be tricked.D. They have a better financial situation.33. What can we know about older people’s thinking happy thoughts?A. It is difficult to be achieved.B. It is limited to certain age groups.C. It may be performed purposefully.D. It can be helpful for people to focus on goals.34. How do gratitude exercises benefit people according to Ernst’s team?A. By improving their mental well-being.B. By raising kind and considerate children.C. By teaching them ways to meet challenges.D. By strengthening their relationship with others.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Aging has both advantages and disadvantages.B. Reflecting on grateful memories can decrease stress.C. Keeping a diary helps increase our sense of well-being.D. Remembering positive experiences is beneficial across age.EPicking out ripe (成熟的) fruit is an art form, and one which you can perfect with practice. Depending on the fruit, there are a few general rules to help pick a ripe piece. 36 Fruit undergoes a series of changes as it ripens which have a great impact on the taste. If allowed to ripen all the way, fruit will grow sweet, and it will also get juicy, deepen in color, and start to give off a rich pleasant smell. 37 Cooled produce prevents you from smelling the fruit for ripeness.38 Some types are able to ripen off the parent plant, especially when stored with bananas, which give out ripening agents. Other types cannot ripen off the parent plant, meaning that they must be vine (藤) or tree ripened. These fruits tend to be much more costly, as transporting delicate ripe pieces without damaging them is difficult.Fruits like berries, cherries, and grapes are all considered non-climacteric fruits. This means that once they are picked, they will not ripen any further, because the parent tree provides the ripening agents and sugars that sweeten them. 39 So when selecting these types in the market, look for juicy ones with pleasant smells.Climacteric fruits like avocados (牛油果) will ripen off the parent plant. In the case of avocados, they must be picked in order to ripen and buying green avocados is actually advised. 40 Set an avocado out at room temperature to ripen. It is ripe when the skin is black and the flesh is slightly soft to the touch.A. Which is better, yellow or green?B. What you see is what you will get.C. Fruit can be divided into two basic types.D. It can often be hard to tell if some fruits are bad.E. You can store them under refrigeration or ripen them as needed.F. This is why it is important to examine it in room temperature conditions.G. However, if you still have trouble, talk with a fruit seller to get recommendations.第三部分：英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）My family moved into a newly constructed home in Calgary 10 years ago. That year was full of promise. We 41 at the stream of incoming families during their move-in days. Hands were shaken. Couches were pulled up steps. But we saw 42 of each other as winter approached. Names were forgotten.As the snow 43 , many of the neighborhood’s kids began to learn how to ride a bike. Their mothers would be nearby, chatting. Dad wanted a place for children to play, a quiet place for parents to sit and relax, but more importantly, a 44 for everyone to leave the house and join the community. He began 45 benches.He started knocking on doors and 46 hands. He chatted with Eric, a builder and then met witha designer. 47 began with me and my father. Within minutes there was a flock of young neighbors48 , each claiming they could help. 49 of us knew each other well, but all hands were on deck (全员出动). After a few hours, three benches formed a semi-circle on the avenue.That afternoon marked the first of many weekend Neighbor Days. Kids 50 each other around while parents brought out food. 51 would carry on into the night. We often 52 there the following afternoon, as well as 53 afternoons and evenings in the years since.I moved out for university four years ago, having learned to 54 value community. But I’ve never lived somewhere as social as my family neighborhood since.There’s a saying: you must be a good neighbor to have good neighbors. My dad wasn’t thinking much about building those benches. He just wanted a place to sit on a Saturday afternoon. A place to bring the 55 together.41. A. tore B. waved C. laughed D. aimed42.

In October, Oxford EnglishDictionary (OED) released 56 update on its language on climate change and environmental sustainability.Some new words 57 (include) in the dictionary so far. The OED doesn’t include chemical formulas, 58 it has made an important exception for CO2because it has become, in its words, deeply-rooted in our everyday language.“Global heating” is also a new entry. Although people got used to using global warming, OED said that global heating is being used 59 (often). That’s because while global warming suggests a kind of comfort, global heating conveys “the seriousness of climate change 60 (cause) by human activity and the urgent need to address it”.Apart from 61 (add) these new words, some old words about climate have been given new meanings. The phrase “climate refugee” is an example. In the 19th century, when people spoke of climate refugees, they would be describing those 62 had moved to a place where the climate is healthier.But now, as climate changes and weather events appear 63 (frequent), the phrase refers to the people who are forced to move in response to extreme weather or rising sea levels.Trish Stewart, OED science 64 (edit), said the update reflects the very real sense of urgency of climate change now.What happens next depends 65 so many factors but, one thing we can be sure of is that our language will continue to evolve and to tell the story.第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第三节应用文假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。

Many areas were left without power or water. As soon as the storm passed, a team of cooks and other volunteers sprang into action. They set up makeshift (临时替代的) kitchens. Leading the charge was JoséAndrés, who owns popular restaurants in the United States. He's also the founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), which cooks meals for people affected by natural disasters and other emergencies (突发事件). “We will make it to everyone who needs food,” Andrés said. At press time, WCK had served about 300,000meals there.WCK began its work in 2016, when Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti. It left many people without food. Usually, after an emergency, governments give out prepackaged meals, but some of the food isn't very healthy. Andrés thought he could do better. The food served by WCK is fresh and healthy. When possible, it adds in local ingredients (原料), which suit the tastes of the area.WCK cooks have shortcuts to cooking lots of food quickly. Andrés grew up in Spain, where cooks use massive pans (巨大的锅) to make a rice dish called paella. He realized paella pans could be used for all kinds of food. Now WCK cooks use them for everything and they can cook for 500 people at a time this way.WCK has about 25 staff members. But much of its work is done by volunteers. Twenty thousand volunteers served almost 4 million meals after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, in 2017. Andrés said a 10-year-old girl there named Lola ran a whole part of the kitchen on her own, and he thought she was a heroine.In Haiti, it's common for school meals to be cooked indoors over open fires. This can be dangerous. WCK wants to help. The group has built or repaired more than 140 schools in Haiti. In many of them, it has fitted gas stoves (煤气灶) and water lines. Together, this has made schools cleaner and safer for more than65,000 people.4. Why did Andrés start WCK?A. To comfort the injured people.B. To rebuild popular restaurants.C. To provide meals for those in need.D. To teach people how to survive a natural disaster.5. What does the underlined word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Basic rules.B. Strange suggestions.C. Abilities to compete.D. Ways of saving time.6. What can be learned about WCK?A. It prefers children volunteers.B. It brings cooks a good return.C. It employs good Spanish-style cooks.D. It depends greatly on voluntary helpers.7. What does WCK bring to Haiti?A. Clean and safe cooking.B. Prepackaged meals.C. Highly-competitive schools.D. Professional and easy-going cooks.CFirst impressions are important, but are first impressions correct? Personally, I'm not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I'm willing to bet (打赌) you've done it, too. Consider this, though: If I'd let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person's facial appearance.“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,” Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a roun d face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier or more harmless than someone who isn't smiley in their photo.The results showed that first impressions often aren't all right. Look, it's really unfortunate that first impressions aren't always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they're right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course,giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you cando is be the best person you can.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck's novel?A. First impressions are influential.B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.C. We shouldn't judge a book by its cover.D. Few people tend to make judgments at first sight.9. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?A. Choose photos they like.B. Relate personalities with photos.C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.10. Which of the following is a finding of the research?A. People find it hard to make a good impression.B. Faces show personality features correctly.C. First impressions are not always reliable.D. One's facial appearance is really important.11. What's the author's advice according to the text?A. Don't be too realistic.B. Try to be your best self.C. Don't be judgmental.D. Disregard others' suggestionsDWhen you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well,now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”London was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term thinking,” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation (转变) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.12. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities?A. Its smaller population.B. Its locals' requirements.C. Its government's strict law.D. Its wider area of green space.13. Where can you find out about London's measures to achieve its goal?A. In Paragraph 1.B. In Paragraph 2.C. In Paragraph 3.D. In Paragraph 4.14. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph?A. The values of newly-founded parks.B. The importance of his movement.C. The influence of green space on cities.D. The preparation for setting up a movement.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. London is leading the world in park constructionB. London becomes the world's first National Park CityC. London is listed as the world's most-visited cityD. London has built the world's first underground park第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

The next morning, we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had a room available. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we see photographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.“How are we going to rebuild our house after this?” I thought, rounding a corner on the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. “Is it even possible?”I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything we’d lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I f elt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe it—there on a shelf, was a nickel! “Okay, maybe this is more than luck,” I thought and put the nickel in my pocket.I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, when I was missing our house more than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits sank.Whenever I reached my breaking point, I’d find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I’m sorry,” the cashier said. “It’s all we have.” “It’s all I need!” I said.One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-e state agent I’d been working with. “I have a new listing,” she said. “When can we see it?”A few hours later, Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the house. I didn’t think long. Because there, in the driveway...19.

The artwork —known as an NFT — is to be sold during an online auction (拍卖) on Tuesday. NFT stands for non-fungible token. It is a piece of art that only exists on a computer technology known as blockchain (区块链).NFTs can exist in the form of images, video, music and text. They are usually bought with electronic money. While anyone can view NFTs, the buyer has official ownership rights over the objects. NFTs have recently been growing in popularity among investors and collectors. Earlier this month, an artwork in the form of an NFT sold for nearly $70 million.The piece to be sold this week was a cooperative effort between a human-like robot, known as Sophia, and Italian artist Andrea Bonaceto. The company behind Sophia, Hanson Robotics, says theauction will be the first sale of a piece jointly created by a human artist, a robot and artificial intelligence (AI). The artwork, called “Sophia Instantiation”, is a 12-second video file. It combines online and physical paintings from Sophia with elements (要素) from Bonaceto’s work. The artwork also includes influences from art history.The digital artwork will come with a physical artwork created by Sophia on a printed copy of the online piece. The online auction is to be held by a company called Nifty Gateway. After the sale, Sophia will meet with the buyer to study his or her face, before adding a final element to the artwork. Sophia’s creator, David Hanson, said this part of the project will permit the new owner to have an unusual “personal connection” to th e artwork.Bonaceto said he hopes his collaboration with Sophia will “make a statement in the art world, and even the technology world” about the way robots and humans can cooperate in the future. Sophia’s art could be “a very, very important historical piece”, said Pablo Fraile, a Miami-based art collector and expert in NFTs. “It’s the first time these ideas have been put together,” he said.23. The author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 2 is to ________.A．explain the value of different forms of NFTs B．teach readers how to buy NFTs with electronic moneyC．provide readers with some information about NFTs D．advise readers to collect or invest in NFTs24. What can we know about “Sophia Instantiation”?A．It is the first NFT artwork to be sold. B．It is a physical artwork created bySophia.C．It is an artwork with elements from art history. D．It is the first artwork created by a robot and AI.25. What is Pablo Fraile’s attitude towards “Sophia Instantiation”?A．Positive. B．Uncaring. C．Opposed. D．Skeptical.26. What can be the best title for the text?A．An NFT Will Gain High Popularity Among InvestorsB．More NFTs Will Be Created by Humans and RobotsC．Sophia Will Be Necessary in Creating Online ArtworksD．Online Artwork That Robot Helps Create Will Be SoldA blue hole is a special kind of underwater cave found inland or in the sea, which forms when the earth above a cave falls in and water fills the space.An inland blue hole’s water is very still and has different layers. A layer of fresh rainwater floats on top of salt water; the fresh water keeps oxygen from the atmosphere from reaching the salt water; brightly colored bacteria live where the two layers meet.Diving into blue holes is extremely dangerous. Near the top of the blue hole, there is a layer of toxic gas, which causes itching, dizziness, and—in large amounts—death. Divers must also be fast. They have to get in and out of a cave before their oxygen runs out. Additionally, divers have to follow a guideline as they swim through a blue hole because it is very dark inside. Without the guideline, they may get lost.If blue holes are so dangerous, why do explorers and scientists risk their lives to explore them? The reason is that these underwater caves can provide valuable scientific information. They provide clues about geology, archaeology, and biology. For example, some blue hole creatures, such as the remipede, probably haven’t changed for millions of years.The blue holes could even provide clues about astrobiology. For example, divers have found bacteria there that can live without oxygen. Astrobiologist Kevin Hand says the bacteria may be similar to forms of life that might exist on Jupiter’s fourth largest moon, Europa. “Our study of life’s extremes on Earth,” he says, can help increase “our understanding of habitable environments off Earth.”In addition, the oxygen-free environment of the blue holes preserves bones of humans and animals that fell into the caves long ago. By studying blue holes, we can understand what life was like in prehistoric times. As cave diver Kenny Broad says, “I can think of no other environment on Earth that is so challenging to explore and gives us back so much scientifically.”27. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．The structure of a blue hole. B．The location of a blue hole.C．The formation of a blue hole. D．The definition of a blue hole.28. Where can bright-colored bacteria be found?A．In the saltwater layer. B．In the freshwater layer.C．In between the freshwater and saltwater layers. D．In both of the freshwater and saltwater layers.29. Which of the following best explains the underlined word?A．The study of life on Earth. B．The study of life in the universe.C．The study of life in prehistoric times. D．The study of life in oxygen-freeenvironment.30. Which of the following can best describe blue holes?A．They’re oxygen-free and lifeless. B．They’re poisonous and dark.C．They’re death zones and mazelike.D．They’re free of air and light.The world is losing monarch butterflies at a striking rate, as kinds of human activities destroy natural habitats. 31 Climate change, with its extreme storms, prolonged droughts and warming temperatures, is to destroy the forest that serves as the butterfly’s winter home.Scientists believe, to help these lovely butterflies, it is necessary to create an ecosystem where the butterflies will be able to survive. They’ve decided to start a monumental project. 32“It’s an idea that may sound crazy,” said Cuauhtemoc Saenz-Romero, a forest geneticist, “but by the end of the century, it may be absolutely needed.”The butterflies that winter here seek shelter in the oyamel firs. 33 The firs protect the butterflies from chilly winter rains and create a microclimate cold enough to keep the butterflies in a state of hibernation but not so cold as to kill them.34 The region is warming at such an accelerated pace that the trees won’t be able to adapt, scientists say, and will need help migrating to areas where the climate is predicted to be suitable for them in future years.Over the last several years, the team of researchers has overseen the relocation of about 1,000 young fir plants, which were growing at lower altitudes, up to higher—and cooler—elevations. 35 They are now establishing the trees at even higher altitudes on other nearby mountains—seeding ecosystems now that monarchs could potentially use later if temperatures continue to rise.Every winter is witnessing tens of thousands of butterflies in the new forests, some fluttering about and others resting in massive clumps on the firs, their bodies obscuring the branches and trunks.While I was driving a motorbike with one hand, a lady suddenly stepped into the street. I braked______ to try to avoid her. As a result, I fell heavily to the ground and my left arm became completely paralyzed(瘫痪的).Thus, I had to ______ everything I used to do with two hands.

“aha！” moment regarding handwriting.I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be.I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal，friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails.There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another’s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.As a child visiting my father’s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”．All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey.She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.I don’t buy it.I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does.For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16thcentury Italy.That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings.However，they have worked in many school systems.1．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting?A．He had worked with his colleague long enough.B．His colleague’s handwriting was so beautiful.C．His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible.D．He still had a lot of work to do.2．People working together in an office used to ________.A．talk more about handwriting B．take more notes on workdaysC．know better one another’s handwriting D．communicate better with one another3．The author’s father wrote notes in pen ________.A．to both his family and his staff B．to his family in small lettersC．to his family on the fridge D．to his staff on the desk4．According to the author，handwritten notes ________.A．are harder to teach in schools B．attract more attentionC．are used only between friends D．carry more message Ⅳ.阅读填空The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June，followed

center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.In the early days of the United States，children were not required to attend school.School calendars depended on local needs.__3__They worked on family farms during the other months.City schools were often open much longer，some for eleven months of the year.After the Civil War，more and more people saw the need for a system of required education._4__Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break.The schools were often crowded.There was no modern air conditioning.Hot days would make it difficult to learn.Many rural educators，however，pushed for a longer school year.They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child-labor laws.So the traditional school calendar was a compromise(折中)．The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days.Times have not changed much.__5__But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed.This thinking has led some schools to keep students in classlonger.A．Why such a long break?B．Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days.C．Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.D．Most schools had similar school calendars.E．But the reason has more to it.F．Students in rural areas went to school for no

It is much easier to cook and prepare tasty and nutritious meals and snacks when everyone is working on the same goals. Here are some tips for you and your family.Be a good role model. Teens are easily affected by what they see, so it is important for family members to follow a healthy lifestyle. If parents are active and eating well，teens are likely to follow.Keep healthy food in the house. If nutritious foods are available，your family members are likely to make healthier choices. Fill the refrigerator and freezer with nutritious foods，such as fruits，vegetables，lowfat dairy products (yogu rt，cheese and milk)，and whole grains.Cook and eat meals together. Learning how to cook is an important life lesson. Ask your teens to prepare healthy meals with you. Instead of fried foods，use healthier ways to prepare foods such as baking, steaming, or microwaving. Talking and connecting with your teens is an important part of family time and it will also help slow down the pace of the meal so as to prevent overeating.Eat at home most of the time. Fast food is higher in fat，salt and calories than most meals prepared at home. What’s more，portion sizes at fast food and other restaurants are usually too large，and can lead to weight gain.Make small behavior changes. Permanent changes in health happen with small steps，not with strict dieting. Focus on making small changes，such as drinking less regular soda and juice，eating more fruit and vegetables which are rich in Vitamins，or eating less fast food. Making small changes as a family can lead to great health benefits.Click here for more information.1．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To give housewives advice on how to cook tasty food.B．To offer advice on how to attract teens to eat at home.C．To tell parents some ways of helping teens form healthylifestyle.D．To advise family members to do exercise to lose weight.2．Weight problems can result from________ according to the passage.A．eating outside frequentlyB．having milk regularlyC．chatting over mealsD．eating enough whole grains3．We can learn from the passage that________.A．drinking regular soda is good for losing weightB．kids usually don’t like following their parents’ lifestyleC．healthy food contains less fat and salt but more vitaminsD．you must follow strict dieting if you want to keep fit 4．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A magazine B．A textbook C．A website D．A newspaperB“Failure is not an option(选择)” is a very wellknown saying.But my father told me that “failure has a timeline”．You have to know that my father was a true genius (天才)．He designed the first jet fighter plane the US Air Force had back in 1954，the F84.You also have to know that his only son is anything but a genius.I was born in 1941，and I am still here at 68 years old. I graduated from Point Loma High in San Diego on June 15,1960，and I was “pleased” with being in the top 10% of the lower onethird of my class of about 300 students. Well，at least I graduated！Some years later in the 1960s，my Dad talked to me about failure.At the time I was very discouraged at my career plans after serving two years in the Peace Corps in Gabon，West Africa，and some time with Air America in Vietnam. I said to my Dad，“Dad，you know I’ve been a failure at everything I’ve tried in life and I just don’t know what to do now.”My dad looked at me with those “genius eyes” and said to me，“Failure is a relative (相对的) thing. It has a timeline！Now just remember that failure is not an option...IN THIS LIFETIME！” He then explained to me that failure is part of a successful path，and that I should always keep in my mind that time，failure and success all work together.To this very day，I still love，respect，and honor my dad and my mom.Maybe some day I will “grow up” and be as smart as my dad was.5．In the writer’s opinion，his father was very________.A．serious B．great C．easygoing D．different 6．According to Paragraph 4，before talking to his dad，the writer________.A．was encouraged by his career plansB．had hope for a good lifeC．was very confidentD．had probably lost heart7．Which of the following statements would the writer’s father agree with?A．Some people will never succeed.B．People should not experience failure.C．Failure at a certain period of time is acceptable.D．Success has nothing to do with failure.8．Today the writer still hopes that________.A．he will be someone like his father one dayB．he will have a chance to work with his fatherC．he will be able to make good use of failure one dayD．he will find out the connection between failure and success CAs early as 1894，the newlyformed International Olympic Co mmittee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.In 1911，a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki. Some opposed the idea. At last，the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916.However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.After 1920，the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.The town of Chamonix，in the French Alps，planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924，at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac，a member of the IOC，suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. The IOC didn’t go that far，but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”．The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding (雪橇车比赛)，figure skating，hockey，Nordic skiing and speedskating. Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal，in the 500meter speed skating，but the festival’s hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland. He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating.Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics，and so it was at Chamonix. The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud. Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.Despite the weather，more than 10,000 people showed up. At its yearly meeting in 1925，the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years，just like the Summer Olympics.9．Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?A．Because the IOC didn’ t agree to it.B．Because it was still under discussion.C．Because some people opposed the idea.D．Because World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.10．How many years earlier was the first modern Olympic Games held than the first Winter Olympic Games?A．16. B．24. C．28. D．29.11．We can know from the passage that________.A．the weather destroyed the first Winter OlympicsB．people from 16 countries watched the first Winter OlympicsC．Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter OlympicsD．Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics12．What’ s the best title for the passage?A．The development of the Olympics.B．The importance of weather in the Olympics.C．The story of the first Winter Olympic Games.D．How did the Winter Olympics come into being?DLike an elegant host of a large family party，Halekulani Hotel sits at the southern end of Waikiki Beach amidst other hotels. It is a part of the scene because of its presence and also because of its quality.The hotel’s rooms can attest to its quality and they are categorized (分类) by view：Garden Courtyard View，Ocean View，Ocean Front View. Allare beautifully designed，very clean，easily accessible and quiet. This sense of ease is made stronger by the gardens that give each morning a glory and fill the evening air with the smell of flowers. So attractive is the setting that many couples choose to exchange their wedding vows (婚姻誓约) here.Attention to details is a feature of all excellent hotels. In Halekulani Hotel，the sum of the small things adds impressively to the total experience. On the bed each evening，guests find small gifts left by staff when the rooms are cleaned. Fruit and flowers in the room are changed daily. By the pool，when you walk in the hot sun，they will offer you icy towels，which makes the guests moved.Breakfast，lunch and dinner at the Halekulani Hotel are not simply occasions for the sense of taste. They are relaxing and unforgettable experiences that appeal to all the senses. The breakfast can be enjoyed inside or on the courtyard which overlooks the ocean. Lunch and dinner are all reasonably priced and delicious. Like many people on holiday，I tend to eat a little more than I should. Fortunately，the hotel has two places designed to increase wellbeing. The first is the Spa. The Spa does more than relax the body. It relaxes the mind and spirit as well. The gym does much the same and is equipped for those wanting to lose those pounds that were gained on vacation.

Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young —the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒). ___16___John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___17___Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___18___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. ____19___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____20___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their useof toolsF. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonlyused by baboons.G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.答案[A篇语篇解读] 本文介绍了一些培养孩子健康饮食习惯的建议。

天全中学高2014级2015-2016学年上期第2周周考英语试题〔时间40分钟〕班级：姓名：成绩：第一节：阅读理解〔2*9=18分〕ATea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about it.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like，mainly because tea was very expensive.It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.Some of them were not sure how to use it.They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce(稀少的)and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it directly from China early in the 17th century.During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it，but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk.She was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did，so they also drank their tea with milk in it.Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first，tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening.No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess(公爵夫人)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock st opped her getting“a sinking feeling〞as she called it.She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so，teatime was born.1．What do we know about the introduction of tea into Britain?A．Tea reached Britain from Holland.B．The Britons got expensive tea from India.C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.2．When did tea become a popular drink in Britain?A．In the late 19th century.B．In the 18th century.C．In the 17th century.D．In the 16th century.3．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because________.A．it tasted like milkB it tasted more pleasantC．it became a popular drinkD．Madame de Sevigne had great influence and people tried to copy her4．According to the passage， the habit of drinking tea in the afternoon in Britain was mostly due to the influence of________.A．a duchessB．people in HollandC．the ancient ChineseD．the upper social classBUntil New York's Chrysler Building was completed in 1930，the EiffelTower was the tallest structure in the world.Located by the river Seine，on an avenue named after its designer，this 985foot(300meter)tower is themost famous edifice(宏伟建筑)in the city of Paris.Gustave Eiffel's idea wascertainly chosen from among 700 proposals(提议)to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated(纪念)the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.In 1887，three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000ton tower.Yet，it was almost torn down two decades after its completion.Luckily，its antenna(天线)，used for telegraphy at the time，saved st July，it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all，as ominous(不吉利的)black clouds of smoke encircled the structure.Luck was again smiling upon the tower：the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.To date，more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.However，it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction.At first，Parisians despised it.Its architectural style and metallic composition were not consideredpleasing.Today，the Eiffel Tower is adorned(装饰)with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour，from sunset until one a．m..If you happen to be passing by，look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight.The Eiffel Tower，composed of iron and steel，is greater than the sum of its parts.5．If you want to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle，when might you stop by?A．115 a．m..B．330 p．m..C．910 a．m..D．000 a．m..6．When was the EiffelTower almost torn down?A．1907.B．1909.C．1889. D．2003.7．At first，what did Parisians think about the tower?A．The steel and iron parts were unimpressive.B．The aweinspiring design was attracting.C．Both A and B are correct.D．Neither A nor B is correct.第二节：完形填空〔20*1.5=30分〕It was a small town in England.The people there worked hard，but they always got poor__1__.The weather was cold and wet and it was bad for their__2__.There was only a primary school in the town and__3__people were so__4__that they couldn't send their children there.Mr Morgan，whose father was the headmaster，was sent to a university in the capital.He__5__law there and knew much.He usually__6__to his hometown during his holidays and a lot of his friends wanted to__7__him.

She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn.From the second she jumped into the water,my heart soared.My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen.She dominated that swim,crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life.It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that.It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling.She might be wearing thefinalist medal but I felt like I won that day.I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on,sweet baby.51.Kelly is nervous when__________.A.boys are around herB.she changes into a leader...C.she is away from her momD.situations are new to her52.We can know from Paragraph3__________.A.the race began in the early morningB.the whole family gave Kelly supportC.Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceD.Kelly prepared for her brother’s birthday party53.Seeing Kelly’s performance in the race,the author felt__________.A.excited and proudB.anxious and uneasyC.worried and hesitantD.curious and concerned54.In Paragraph5,the underlined word“conquered”probably means__________.A.to defeat someone especially in a competitionB.to succeed in dealing with or control somethingC.to become very popular or successful in a placeD.to take control of a country or a city and its people by force55.In the ending paragraphs the author“felt like I won that day”because Kelly__________.A.overcame the fearB.expressed love to herC.won the gold medalD.took part in the sportBPlaying a musical instrument throughout:your life protects your hearing in old age,a Canadian study suggests.The study,published in Psychology and Aging,carried out hearing tests on74adult musicians and89non-musicians.It found a70-year-old musician’s hearing was as good as that of a50-year-old who did not play.Hearing normally declines as people age.By60,10-30%of people have moderate hearing loss.By80,that goes up to as many as60%.Problems are particularly seen in the central auditory(听觉的)processing system,which is associated with understanding speech,especially when there is background noise.Previous studies have shown musicians have better hearing than non-players.But this research,by a team at the Roman Research Institute in Toronto,looked at adults of all ages-from18to91-to see how people were affected as they aged.They carried out hearing tests on 74amateur and professional musicians(who had played since the age of16,were still practicing and had been given formal music lessons)and89non-musicians(who had never played an instrument).Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain,probably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.The head of biomedical research at Action on Hearing Loss,Dr Ralph Holme,said:“While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss,it is far better to reduce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection.We have always campaigned for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection,like earplugs,which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently.”56.What can we learn from Paragraph2?A.A person aged80will lose30%hearing.B.A person aged above60must have bad hearing.C.People have fewer problems with background noise.D.People’s hearing usually becomes worse when they get older.57.What can we get from the Canadian study?A.It tested the hearing of162people.B.The finding of the study wasn’t published publicly.C.Playing a musical instrument may do good to hearing.D.Musicians were as good at picking out speech against noise as non-musicians.58.Why don’t musicians change much in their brain as they age?A.They like to take more exercise.B.They use their hearing more and regularly.C.They don’t expose themselves to background noise.D.They pay more attention to protecting their hearing.59.How can we deal with hearing loss according to Dr Ralph Holme?A.Get help from musicians.B.Listen to loud music less.C.Protect hearing properly.D.Play a musical instrument more.60.The author wrote the passage to________.A.entertain the readersB.advertise a musical instrumentplain about people’s hearing lossrm readers of a research on hearing答题卡：1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.38.39.40.41.42.43.44.45.46.47.48.49.50.51.52.53.54.55.56.57.58.59.60.。
