His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布) tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.When I told my parents what I wanted to do they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket ... into the box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”“Go away!” he shouted.“Sir,” I repeated.“Go away!” he shouted.“Why?” I asked him.He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.“Merry Christmas!” I said.“Why are you doing this?” he asked.“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold.

The bruise led to a doctor’s visit. The doctor said his daughter was suffering from leukemia (白血病).Steve said that in a moment his life changed from what restaurant he was going to take his clients (客户) to lunch to whether his daughter Katie was ever going to see her fourth birthday.For three years Katie received a lot of treatment at the Nemours Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware and with the help of wonderful doctors, kind nurses, whom Steve and his wife Michelle called heroes, Katie’s leukemia was cured (治愈).Forever changed by the experience and encouraged by the heroes at Nemours who saved his daughter’s life, Steve felt he couldn’t go back to business as usual. He felt there was something else he was meant to do and that something else led him to join the Nemours Foundation（基金会）at the age of 28. The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making as a lawyer, but Steve thought he was right and it was more important to help those who need help. Steve is glad to have made such a choice.Katie is now a healthy 20-year-old college student and Steve is one of the leaders of the Nemours Foundation. In three weeks Steve will have a party for Katie’s 21st birthday, and give big thanks to the Nemours by riding his bicycle from Nemours in Jack-sonville, Florida to Wilmington, Delaware.

A program called Kids Café is helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的) snacks and meals during after-school programs.At a community (社区) center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children make a snack as part of their afterschool program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really good,” Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Café program.The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half have parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional food at home. Kids Café, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.“It’s good,” says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is weird.” Her mother, Daffany Nance has two children in the program. She’s glad her kids ar e getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we don’t have much junk food,” she says, “so it’s very important that it’s healthy and continues to help them grow better.”The charity (慈善机构), Feeding America, started the national Kids Café program in 1993. The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat.Kids Café became part of the afterschool program at this community center five years ago. Lori McFail heads the afterschool program. She says some children do not eat good evening meals because their parents work late or cannot afford healthy food. She hopes the children will make full use of what they’ve learned about nutrition in their lives.【1】What is the purpose of starting Kids Café?A．To provide poor children with nutritious food.B．To raise money for some poor children.C．To develop the afterschool program.D．To help poor children learn new skills.【2】The underlined word “weird” is the closest in meaning to _____.A．delicious B．unusualC．terrible D．strong【3】What can we learn about Daffany Nance?A．She is from Ethiopia and has two children.B．She cared little about her children’s diet before.C．She believes the program is good for her children.D．She hopes more types of food can be offered for free.【4】 Who leads the afterschool program?A．Lori McFail.B．Keith Clements.C．Feeding America.D．A community center in Virginia.puter technology is still developing rapidly. The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost. It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now. A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years. Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子计算) and nanotechnology (纳米技术).Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today. Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time. Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size. These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances (电器), clothes and even the human body. We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways. They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes, such as work.Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.【1】Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly?A．Much smaller.B．Much faster.C．More powerful.D．Less valuable.【2】According to the text, quantum computing _____.A．has been put in use so farB．can make computers run by themselvesC．can reduce the cost of computersD．will work by using transistors【3】We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will _____.A．create much smaller computersB．be used in electrical appliances and clothingC．change the structure of computersD．make computers just serve specific purposes【4】The text is mainly about _____.A．what nanotechnology isB．what quantum computing isC．what the future of the computer isD．what future computers can bring us5.This fourth of July I moved into a new house with my wife, Nicole. Nicole and I met through a series of coincidences that would be unlikely without some unbelievable force causing them to happen.The day Nicole and I met, we talked about the Yankees. In the restaurant where we sat, the first game between the Yanks and Tampa Bay was being shown on television. Nicole was happy I was a baseball fan, and she told me that was an important reason when she considered dating (约会) me. “My dad wouldn’t like me dating anyone who isn’t,” she said.Nicole’s dad, Ira, used to be a coach for the Yankees. Many years ago, a colleague (同事) of his was leaving and packing up his office. The only thing left unpacked was a photo on the wall. It was a picture of Sparky Lyle, a famous baseball player. Sparky had signed the photo on the bottom.“You’re not taking that?” Ira asked. “You want it?” his colleague offered. “Sure!” Ira said. He jumped at the chance to have a signed photo from a great player who had helped the team win two World Series.Ira told me the story after the movers had gone. He then said to me, “Adam, when I first learned who was datingmy daughter, that photo came into my mind,” he said. “But by now, I know for sure you’re meant to have it.” He then presented me with a box. I tore it open. Inside was the signed photo of Sparky Lyle which I had lost years ago.“To Adam, Best Wishes, Sparky Lyle”. It was picked up by Nicole’s dad years before I’d even met her. The perfect gift — a sign only making me believe what I already knew ... I was meant for Nicole and her family all along.【1】What does the underlined word “coincidences” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．New things.B．Important things.C．Things that happened long ago.D．Things that happened by chance.【2】A big reason why Nicole agreed to be Adam’s girlfriend was that _____.A．he was ableB．he was a baseball fanC．he got a new houseD．they had much in common【3】Ira got the photo of Sparky Lyle from _____.A．Sparky Lyle B．NicoleC．his colleague D．Adam【4】We can infer from the text that _____.A．Adam did not like the giftB．Nicole found the lost pictureC．Adam and Nicole will love each other foreverD．the picture of Sparky Lyle was first owned by Adam四、语法填空When I was in junior high school, darkness began filling my mind. I don’t know the reason why it began. All I know is that I started f【1】 hopeless and worthless. I hid in my room, staring out of the window, thinking about all my【2】(失败). I even questioned whether being【3】 (活着) was worthwhile. My dark mood wasn’t constant. It would fade at t【4】, but it always returned.It was my parents and my friends that helped me ge【5】 the dark mood. At the beginning when I was depressed, I was【6】(尴尬) to tell anyone. I didn’t want to seem weak or needy. But later I found that when I told my friends my feelings, they never laughed at me. On the【7】, they supported and encouraged me. So remember: no one can face depression a【8】. If you’re depressed, find someone — a friend, parent or teacher — and tell them your feelings.

It's a mid-sized city in what's called the plateau (high land)，between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It's home to the nation's biggest open-air tobacco market.The giant R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company's headquarters is in Winston Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women一the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation.Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns (小旅馆）and Moravian dormitorybuildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.The historic community is booming again.

福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Monthly active users of WeChat, a popular social networking App run by Internet Tencent Holdings Ltd, rose to 889 million last year, up 28 percent year-on-year, according to a report on Thursday.The report said the number of active WeChat users last year helped directly drive 174.3 billion yuan of information-sector(信息产业)spending, an increase of 26.2 percent on the previous year.The government has urged to expand consumption to create new sources(来源)of economic growth and to help drive industry upgrading.The report added that the popular message App, which provides a wide range of services, created jobs for 18.81 million people in 2016, up 7.7 percent year-on-year.It found that the percentage of older WeChat users gradually increasing. Those aged over 55 using voice messages accounted for 22 percent of the total, while their average length of time spent on audio and video calling service reached 82 minutes, higher than other groups of users.The report also found that WeChat has quickened the transmission(传送) of information, changed people’s paying habits because they only need to take their mobile phones when going out to shop, and create the channels with which people get information.Ma Shicong, an analyst at Beijing-based Internet Consultancy Analysis, said: “WeChat has accumulated a large number of faithful users by providing various services, from instant messaging, information to mobile payments. WeChat helps make lives easier and more convenient.”The report also showed the WeChat official accounts were favored by users, with 36.1 percent of them following or subscribing to accounts related to in news and information.【1】What’s the desire of the government according to the text?A．To expand consumption.B．To create more jobs.C．To support WeChat App.D．To balance spending.【2】Who uses voice messages most frequently?A．The youths.B．The analysts.C．Shop owners.D．The aged.【3】How does WeChat win its faithful users?A．By subscribing to the official accounts.B．By creating mobile payments.C．By offering varieties of services.D．By sending in news and information.2.In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years, and they have become names that millions of Chinese love, respect and most of all buy.At least once a year, Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods, longing to buy something for his family in Xi’an.“It’s a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival,” Meng says.His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou. “My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun, and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou,” Meng says.A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands.However, with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else: Their popularity has endured for years, decades and in many cases centuries. That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey（调查） of time-honored brands in Beijing last year, which drew more than 4 million respondents.Yili, a century-old pastry brand, came out on top as the favorite. There are some old brands, too, that have beenbywords for older generations, faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks.One of these is Beibingyang (Arctic Ocean) a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted. It disappeared from the market for 15 years but resurfaced in 2010. It again proved to be a hit, many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s, and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children."Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality," says Yin Jie, an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands. These brands are 230 years old on average, and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity（繁荣） hundreds of years ago, Yin says. "To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients(成分), and that keeps them going."【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Big holidays.B．Time-honored brands.C．The respondents.D．The older generations.【2】What does Meng Wei usually do in the Spring Festivals?A．He runs several shops selling traditional goods.B．He shops traditional brands for his family.C．He misses the things of the past very much.D．He buys various sweeties and drinks.【3】What can be learned about the time-honored brands?A．They are not trusted in quality and competition.B．Many disappeared and never made comebacks.C．They enjoy a long time of popularity.D．They are the childhood stories of the aged.【4】What does Yin Jie think important in keeping time-honored brands going?A．China’s prosperity.B．Historic influence.C．Certain rare natural ingredients.D．Bywords for older generations.3.Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting and great fun? Certainly, it isa new experience, one that brings the opportunity(机会) to discover amazing things and a feeling of freedom. But do remember that there are also some challenges you will meet, for your views may disagree with the different beliefs, norms(社会准则), values and traditions of different countries. This is called “culture shock”. The following are the stages of adjusting.T he first stage is called ”the honeymoon”, where you are excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fantastic.Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears, “the hostility stage”. You begin to notice that not everything that seemed so wonderful initially is now awful, making you feel distressed and tired. Usually at this point, you use some defense mechanisms(机制) to help you cope(应付) and to protect yourself against the effects of culture shock. Two of them are “repression”, which happens when you pretend that everything is acceptable and that nothing bothers you, and “regression”, when you start to act like a child, sometimes careless and irresponsible. The third kind is “isolation”. You don’t want to communicate w ith anybody, cutting yourself off the world. The last type is “rejection”, where you think you don’t need anybody, feeling you are coping fine alone. After you deal with your hostile feelings, next comes the stage, “recovery”, when you begin to see things of a different culture you can learn to appreciate.The last stage is “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you are able to understand the new culture.Culture shock is not something you can avoid in a foreign country. Actually, you learn how to interact with otherpeople, and you learn a considerable amount about life in a new culture. Eventually, you learn more-about yourself.【1】How many stages of culture shock does the text mention?A．4.B．6.C．7.D．8.【2】Which mechanism does a person apply if he pretends to accept everything in a new culture? A．Repression.B．Regression.C．Isolation.D．Rejection.【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards culture shock?A．Serious.B．Positive.C．Cautious.D．Scared.【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A New ExperienceB．Stages of adjustmentC．Culture ShockD．Defense Mechanisms4.Kitchen waste refers to deserted or uneaten refuse produced by household kitchens. It is heavy in weight and can not easily be disposed(处理)of like other garbage due to dampness.Separating kitchen waste from other waste can help to reduce organic matter in landfills, reducing smell and waste liquid and protecting disposal equipment. It is therefore necessary to perform garbage classification when disposing of kitchen waste.There are special garbage trucks to process kitchen waste. Labeled “Kitchen Waste”, the beds of the trucks are covered in a hermetic(密封的) metal topper to contain the smell of the rotting organic waste. There are two sizes of the trucks—the smaller ones are designed to move through narrow streets, especially in the old-fashioned hutong, the larger ones are for wider streets.Everyday, they stop at the residential(居住的) communities in Xicheng district, pick up their kitchen waste and carry it to the kitchen waste transfer buildings nearby. And Fengrongyuan residential community is one of them. It has 10 residential buildings and 606 families. In the afternoon. Two garbage trucks arrive at the community to collect its kitchen waste. The community now has 31 sets of garbage cans. Every set has three cans in different colors, green for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste and grey for other garbage.Yang Kun, an official of Financial Street office, said that if residents in the community can respect the waste regulations and make it a standard practice in their daily life, they could be rewarded for their efforts.After the two trucks are loaded with kitchen waste at Fengronfyuan, they will leave for the Xibianmen garbage storage building, where they are weighed before driving to an area to unload. The building has six big boxes to contain the kitchen waste.To save resources and promote the disposal of household waste, the first step is garbage classification as conducted by residents.【1】What can be learned about kitchen waste from Paragraph1?A．It is too damp and heavy to easily dispose of.B．It can be as easily disposed of as other garbage.C．It helps to reduce organic matter in landfills.D．It is necessary for garbage classification.【2】What is needed to prevent the organic waste letting out smell?A．Trucks with a hermetic metal popper.B．Trucks labeled “Kitchen Waste”.C．Wider streets for garbage trucks.D．Waste transfer buildings nearby.【3】Where is the kitchen waste weighed before being unloaded?A．Old-fashion hutong.B．Xicheng district.C．Fengrongyuan residential community.D．The Xibianmen garbage storage building.【4】What’s the main idea of the text?A．Kitchen waste does harm to the disposal equipment.B．It’s a practice to respect the waste sorting regulations.C．The disposal of kitchen waste is aimed to save resources.D．The disposal of household waste begins with garbage classification.二、其他How to Draw a Mind MapMind mapping relates to writing down a central idea and thinking up new and relevant ideas which radiate out from the center.Look for relationshipsUse lines, colors, arrows, branches or other ways of showing connections between ideas on your mind map.【1】. Personalizing the map with your own symbols and designs will assist in your recall and understanding.【2】All of these things promote linear(线性的)thinking while the idea of mind mapping is to think creatively andin anon-linear manner. There will be plenty of time for polishing the information later on. But at this stage, the most important thing is to get every possibility into the mind map that may be the key to your knowledge of a topic.Write down key ideasSome students find that using capital letters encourages them to get down only the key points.【3】.You may, however, wish to write down some explanatory notes in lower cases. Some students do this when they revisit the mind map at a later date while others write such things as assessment criteria in this way. Put the main idea in the centerMost students find it useful to turn their page on the side and do a mind map in “landscape” style. They put the main idea or topic in the middle of the page.【4】.Leave lots of space【5】.After the initial drawing of the mind map you may wish to highlight things, add related information or questions right up.A．Capitals are also easier to read in a diagramB．Make a list all your ideas you needC．This helps them assess the related informationD．Draw quickly without pausing, judging or editingE.This gives the maximum space for other ideas to radiateF.Some most useful mind maps are those adds over a period of timeG.These relationships may be important in understanding new information三、完形填空For over 30 years my father has been serving as a senior minister in several churches.

福建高二高中英语期末考试带答案解析
福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation”(解读) of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. But those who do teach poetry must keep in minda few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.【1】To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.A．discuss it with others B．analyze it by oneselfC．copy it down in a notebook D．practise reading it aloud【2】According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.A．to understand life.B．to enjoy poetry.C．to become teachers.D．to become poets【3】What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A．More importance should be attached to the teaching of poetry.B．Poetry is more important than any other subject.C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses2.There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believ e that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight --- I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habitsof eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gain.Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but when your body adapts to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.【1】What does the author think about being fat?A．It is the family genes that make people fat.B．People are fat because they consume too little energy.C．It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.D．A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.【2】According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A．By taking varied exercise.B．By choosing simple exercise.C．By doing regular exercise.D．By sticking to outdoor exercise.【3】What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A．Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.B．Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.C．Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D．Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.【4】What is the purpose of the passage?A．To argue the importance of keeping fit.B．To prove some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.C．To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D．To inform readers of some misunderstandings about fatness and exercise.3.In recent years some extreme weather events have arisen from global warming because of human activities, with studies indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the future. Scientists were certain that global warming is being caused mostly by increasing concentrations ofgreenhouse gasesand otherhumanactivities.Its effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels and expansion of deserts in the subtropics(亚热带). Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing loss of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall with floods, heavy snowfall and species extinction due to great change of temperature. Bad effects on humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of populated(住人的) areas because of rising sea levels.Possible responses to global warming are reduction of emissions(排放), adaptation to its effects, building systems resilient to its effects, and possible future climate engineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC), whose objective is to prevent dangerous climate change. It has adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming. It is agreed that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.On 12 November 2015, NASA scientists reported that human-made carbon dioxide continues to increase above levels that have not been seen in hundreds of thousands of years: currently, about half of the carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels remains in the atmosphere and is not absorbed by vegetation and the oceans.【1】What does the underlined word “resilient” mean?A．be easily damaged B．be able to recover easilyC．can be bent easily D．be difficult to change【2】Which of following is NOT mentioned as an effect of global warming?A．rising sea levelsand expansion of desertsB．more frequent extreme weather eventsC．species extinctionD．increasing crop yields【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. It is likely for us to deal with global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to its effects and climate engineering.B. There is no solution to too much carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.C. It is common that human-made carbon dioxide keeps on increasing greatly in the previous several centuries.D. Future global warming should be limited to below 3.6 °C.二、其他阅读七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed a way unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.【1】Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A．He built shelters for them.B．He came to stay with them.C．He gave immediate first aid to them.D．He brought mental health professionals.【2】What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A．He decided not to disturb.B．He went to his friends’ at once.C．He knew what to do instantly.D．He hesitated over whether to go.【3】What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Heavy but warm.B．A little sad but comfortable.C．Relaxing and delightful.D．Very serious and unhappy.【4】What has the author learned from his experience?A．Being present can make a big difference.B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.C．The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D．Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.3.It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气), and go early in the morning before rush hour. But staying inside onsmoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.【1】How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A．They can run more slowly.B．They can take in more calories.C．Their hearts can function harder.D．Their body temperature can get lower.【2】How does summer affect runners?A．It builds up their energy quickly.B．It makes runners tired easily.C．It lessens runners’ stress.D．It causes heart attack.【3】What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A．Stop driving cars.B．Do more exercise.C．Avoid outdoor exercise.D．Run late in the morning.4.Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird(怪异的),” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.【1】In what way did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?A．By putting up posters on the tube.B．By offering passengers special badges.C．By advocating his idea on the media.D．By starting a dialogue with passengers.【2】How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?A．Most passengers have refused to accept it.B．It has become a worldwide campaign.C．It has caught international attention.D．Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.【3】According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?A．Hand in their feedback in time.B．Walk up and talk to strangers.C．Stop using public transport.D．Enjoy the peace quietly.【4】What can be the best title for the text?A．Tube Chat or NotB．Lonely Travel in the London TubeC．Silence on the TubeD．Tube Passengers Wearing Badges二、其他Everyone makes mistakes. 【1】. Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious. It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company’s bottom line. Evil consequences will finally come down to you. Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option. When you make a mistake at work, your career may depend on what you do next.Admit your mistake.Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is that you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don’t try to hide your mistake.【2】.Present your boss with a plan to fix your mistake.When you go to your boss to admit your mistake, you must have a plan for correcting it. Present your plan clearly. Tell your boss how long it will take to carry out your plan and if there are any costs involved.Don’t blame anyone else for your mistake.【3】. Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in admitting to your boss.【4】.There’s a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourse lf up about it. Take responsibilitybut don’t blame yourself for making it, especially in public.Correct your mistake on your own time.If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don’t expect to be paid for that time.【5】.A．You can use your lunch hour or come into work earlyB．You will look terrible if someone else discovers itC．Apologize for your mistake but don’t beat yourself upD．Pointing fingers won’t help you if you make a mistakeE. Strengthen your friendship with your bossF. You’ll feel ashamed if your colleague takes the responsibility for youG. Usually you can correct your error or just forget about it and move on三、完形填空I used to be a happy child.

When the trees are full-size, they will be cut down and used to make paper. The paper will be used to make copies of an unusual book. The book will contain 100 stories by 100 authors written over the course of 100 years.Scottish artist Katie Paterson began the project last year. “We’re asking one writer a year to submit a story,” Paterson said. Subject, style, and length are up to the author, However, it is 100 years later that the stories canbe revealed.What’s the point of asking authors to write stories that readers alive today will never get to enjoy?“The project isa lot about the imagination,” she says. “It’s about thinking about the future and developing an artwork that’s not just f or now but for a future generation.”Paterson got the idea for the project while drawing tree rings in a notebook. Each ring in a tree’s trunk represents one year of growth. That inspired her to create a project that ties the present with the future. The idea seemed so far that she set it aside. But a few years later, Paterson had the opportunity to take part in a program called Slow Space. Organizers were looking for projects designed to unfold over time. Paterson’s was one of three selected. The first work for the book was completed this year. The manuscript(手稿) is being held at Oslo’s public library, where a special room house the growing collection of stories.“More and more paper books are phased out,” Paterson says. She notes that Oslo’s library has ha d thousands of digital books. Hopefully, she says that she expects the future generations will be excited enough to shout, “Look! They’re paper books!”【1】What’s the purpose of the project according to Paterson?A．Protecting the forest.B．Setting up a library.C．Leaving behind some paper books for future generations.D．Encouraging more authors to create more wonderful works.【2】How did the idea of the project occur to Paterson?A．Inspired by tree rings.B．Inspired by the library.C．Inspired by the ecological environment.D．Inspired by the program of Slow Space.【3】What’s the proper meaning of the underlined part?A．Lit up.B．Dying out.C．Coming to life.D．Passed down.【4】It can be inferred that________.A．the stories inside the book will remain secret until 2115B．the stories inside the book will be selected among manyC．the book will record the biggest events during 100 yearsD．the book will be held in the form of both paper and digital二、信息匹配If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you． We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all．【1】 So challenge the following limits:1． Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call．【2】 But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!" 2．【3】Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this． Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on． Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income．3．Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．【4】 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself．Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself．4．Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers - try to connect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they're going to be． Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class．【5】A．You should do it continuously．B．Someone may hang up on you．C．You don't need to go to the gym．D．Running in the gym may be a better choice．E． Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself．F． Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop．G． You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone．三、其他1.I. 根据首字母或括号里所给提示写出正确的单词，每空一词。
福建高二高中英语期末考试带答案解析
福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer(志愿者). The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.However, he went to work at an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed."I thought that if I volunteered just once. I could retell the story over and over," Grennan said in a Huffington Post article.However, his three-month stay it the orphanage turned into in unusual experience. It was 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip, His first three months were spent in Nepal.When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home, he was faced by the excited children.The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐卖的)children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids' families, "I started walking with photos of the kids." he told the Reuters reporter. "I would show up in villages and show photographs around.I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families." At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture. Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.【1】At first, Grennan simply wanted to _______by volunteering in Nepal.A．write travel stories B．impress peopleC．help the kids there D．learn the skills【2】When Grennan came to the Little Princes Children’s Home. _______.A．the children there felt excited B．18 children were ill in bedC．he decided to give up his job D．he’d lived in Nepal for a year【3】From the passage we can learn that Grennan _______.A．found the kids’ families easily B．was good at taking picturesC．wrote the book Little Princes D．asked others to go to Nepal【4】Which is the best title for the passage?A．Volunteer travels in Nepal B．Volunteer is with the kidsC．Volunteer becomes a writer D．Volunteer changes a lot2.Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and othergrains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.【1】A greenhorn now refers to ____.A．a cow without horns B．a new soliderC．a young horse D．a person who is new in a job【2】A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.A．whose garden is greener than others’B．whose thumbs are of green colorC．who is good at growing plantsD．who is younger than his neighbors【3】The author is actually talking about ____.A．language B．colorsC．politics D．agriculture【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.B．The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.C．The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.D．The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.3.In London's art gallery six or seven men, mostly in their 30s, are busy painting the walls with new designs in colorful lettering and clever tricks. Tins of spray paint and beer stand on the ground. The atmosphere is not unlike that of a golf course: a mix of concentration and relaxation.Graffiti(涂鸦) painting is traditionally a daring hobby. Teenagers avoid security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade that has almost disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2017 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the environment ministry shows that fewer places are damaged by tags(绘名) than ever. Graffiti are increasingly limited to only a few walls. In time the practice may die out entirely.The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing, says Keegan Webb, who runs The London Vandal, a graffiti blog (博客). Numerous cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational change is apparent, too. Now teenagers prefer to play with iPads and video games. Those who do get involved tend to prefer street art to graffiti. And the internet helps painters win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men are now older and less willing to take risks. "We can't run away from the police any more," says Ben Eine, who turned from tagging to street art. The hip-hop culture that inspired graffiti in the first place has faded. Video games and comic books provide more inspiration than music.Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. Mr Eine says he has lots of friends who used to paint trains. Now with wives and children, they paint abandoned houses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting watching the football.【1】How do the painters feel while painting graffiti according to the first paragraph?A．Free but stressed.B．Free and focused.C．Particular and respected.D．Nervous but satisfied.【2】Why is graffiti painting traditionally considered as a daring hobby?A．It's at the risk of being caught.B．It takes much hard training.C．It's dangerous to paint in trains.D．It needs a great deal of knowledge.【3】hat does the underlined word “decline” in the third paragraph refer to?A．Ban of government.B．Reduction of graffiti.C．Disappearance of graffiti.D．Better policing of government.【4】What conclusion can we draw from the fourth paragraph?A．The early graffiti had something to do with music.B．Graffiti artists like to be the focuses in public.C．Graffiti artists regret over what they did in the past.D．Painting is much healthier than watching football.4.Disposing(处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste. 【1】The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.A．Waste Disposal Problem B．Waste Pollution DangersC．Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D．Places for Disposing Waste【2】During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for ______.A．burying it B．burning itC．recycling it D．throwing it into rivers【3】What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A．Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.B．There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.C．Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.D．It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.二、其他Nail-biting(咬指甲) is one of the most common annoying habits in children. 【1】But you needn’t worry too much and as soon as you realize what’s causing nail-biting, you can help your child overcome and stop it. So, here’s what you can do about it.【2】In some cases, children won’t even realize they are biting their nails, let alon e know why they are doing it. So make sure you have a conversation with your child (if he/she is old enough) and make him/her realize he/she is doing it and try to figure out why it’s happening.【3】It’s important to agree on the level of your involvemen t. If he/she wants help, create a secret reminder that will make him/her stop without embarrassing him/her.Give alternatives (替代物).【4】 Depending on the age of the child, there are several things that you can offer such as a small ball, Play-Doh games, or any kind of other small toys.Use bitter solutions(溶液). Forcing a child to keep this solution on his/her fingers may feel like a punishment. 【5】 Everything else will only lead to embarrassment and discouragement. Furthermore, some of these solutions co ntain pepper which burns if it enters a child’s mouth or eyes. But if you have an adolescent child who wants to quit biting his/her nails, you may suggest and try out this solution.A．It’s also likely to continue as the child grows up.B．Help the child become aware of the habit.C．You should also consider asking for professional help.D．Make an agreement on how you’re going to stop it together.E.The best thing children can do is communicate with their parents.F.The child needs to go through the process painlessly and in agreement with you.G.That will keep his/her hands occupied when he/she is likely to bite his/her nails.三、完形填空Recently I understood the true meaning of love. The ________ was Kane, my neighb or Joline’s two-year-old son.Kane was born with a physical problem on his ________. And I witnessed (目睹) the ________ that Kane’s physical shortcomings had on his family. I also saw a ________ family that embraced (拥抱) this special child. A family that wouldn’t allow Kane to know he was ________. Joline had constructed a small cart for his son to_______.

Later I came to ________ that this child was sent to help some of us who weren’t just getting what love was all about.Kane demanded attention, ________ not because of his mobility (移动能力) challenges or other apparent shortcomings.

厦门市高二年级期末质量检测第一部分阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。
AFive years ago, Finland citizen Rami Adham started a programme to help the Syrian refugees（难民）in his former hometown of Aleppo, a city of Syria. The father of six used all his savings to buy food and medicine. As he was leaving, his three-year-old daughter offered to donate her toys, in exchange for a new Barbie doll. A deal was made, and Adham added 25 teddy bears and 36 Barbie dolls to his already heavy load.While the supplies were welcomed, it was the toys that excited the kids most. Adham recalls kids eagerly running towards him from every corner of the camp, and particularly remembers a six-year-old girl who did not talk at all. He later discovered that she had lost her voice due to the war. Adham, who has visited the young girl several times since and given her a Barbie and a My Little Pony toy, says, “ Her reaction is always the same, a beautiful smile.”Since then, the amazing man, who has set up the Finnish-Syrian Association to collect donations, has been visiting different refugee camps in Syria every two months. Each time, he brings up to 70kg of donated toys to this war-torn country. The jour ney to Syria has never been without danger. But none of the hardships appear to frighten the brave “toy smuggler （走私者）of Aleppo”. Adham says that the response he gets from the kids “charge his batteries.” To give them something more to look forward to, Adham has recently set up a Go Fund Me to raise money to build a school for the refugee children. In less than two months, Adham has been able to obtain over €100,000 he needs to live his dream.21. Why did Adham’s daughter give away her toys?A. To travel with her father.B. To get a new toy.C. To buy food and medicine.D. To start a program.22. From the text, we can learn that in Syria, ________.A. the supplies and toys were popularB.

A degree in Chinese promises to set them apart in the workplace.An English student may have as little as six hours of contact time in class a week. However, Chinese students have a different university experience, spe nding most of the day in class. “The first year was really difficult. I was expected to learn 20 characters a day in the first year and spent hours and hours writing characters. Most of my friends admitted crying in the first week,” says Hannah Jackson, wh o graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.Chinese degrees are typically four years including a year out in China. But even after one or two years’ studying the language at university, students often arrive in China unable to have conversations with native speakers. For Zak Clements, who achieved firsts in his first two years studying Chinese at Nottingham Trent University, this came as a shock. “When I got to China I couldn’t even order some food. It’s difficult to get used to at first,” he says.So is the time spent in learning characters really worth it? Both graduates think so.Thanks to his ability to speak Chinese, Zak helped to create a role for himself in a company soon after graduating. He earned €26,000 in the role, with the potential to earn as much as €50,000. After graduation, Hannah worked in Shanghai for more than 4 years. She has now returned to the UK and works for the Body Shop. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a successful entrepreneur(企业家), but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that. I would always recommend thinking about living in China afterwards. That’s been e ssential for me in my career: my experience in China after learning Chinese.”28. Why did many students cry in the first week?A. They missed their homeland.B. They had to write characters.C. They had little contact time in class.D. They found studying Chinese demanding.29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Achieving firsts at university.B. Spending a year in China.C. Failing to talk with Chinese people.D. Not getting used to Chinese food.30. What do we know about Hannah?A. Her salary reaches as high as €50,000.B. Her life in China helps with her career.C. She is realistic about living in China.D. She works for the Body Shop in Shanghai.31. Which of the following is the best tittle for the next?A. Chinese —— The Most Useful Language.B. Hannah and Zak —— Graduates in Chinese.C. Foreign Students Consider Chinese Tough.D. Chinese Sets Graduates Apart in Workplace.How can we read better? Well, I would not tell you what should be done. We all read from different backgrounds, and my meeting with Proust or Woolf, or Lydia Davis, or J. M. Coetzee, will not be yours, nor should it be. On the other hand, I do believe reading is an active skill and there are techniques that everyone can use or try, even if we use them differently.As I dive into the opening pages, the first question I’m asking is, what are the qualities or values that matter most in this novel? I start Murakami’s Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage which is about a man wh o has been excluded(排除) from a group of four friends. So I begin to look for everything relating to loneliness and friendship. I underline any words that fall into this field. Do loneliness and depression produce strength or creativity? I start a novel by Hemingway and at once I find people taking risks, forcing themselves toward acts of courage. I wonder if being courageous is considered more important than being just or good, more important than friendship. So I’m on the lookout for how each character positions himself in relation to courage.After that, another question is hammering away in my head. Is it really such a disaster, Murakami, if four friends exclude you from their circle? Is it really true, Hemingway, that courage is so vital? In short, are there real concerns, or have they just been brought together to write a book, to win a literary prize?32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. readers read books in the same way.B. readers understand a book differently.C. different backgrounds influence writers.D. the author makes friends with many writers.33.which of the following might the author underline when reading Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgraimage?A. get togetherB. come aboutC.try outD. take risks34. what is the author’s attitude towards courage in Hemingway’s novel?A. cautiousB. supportiveC. defensiveD. disapproving35. the first two questions in the last paragraph are to ____.A. assess the effects of courageB. show concerns for the two writers.C. questions the purpose of writingD. discuss the truth behind a disaster根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选入能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。

英语_福建省厦门市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题(含答案)
福建省厦门市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. The David J.Seneer CDC Museum uses award-winning exhibits and programs to educate visitors about the value of public health, and present vast accomplishments of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The museum hosts about 90,000 visitors each year, and provides popular. educational programs for students and teachers.Originally called the Global Health Odyssey Museum, it was set up in 1996 alongside CDC's 50th anniversary. In 2011, the museum was renamed the David J.Sencer CDC Museum, in honor of the longest serving director of CDC.Strategic Objectives (目标)·Support CDC's duty to prevent disease, injuries and disability and to encourage healthy lifestyles through all stages of life.·Inform and educate people about public health, displaying its connection with their lives. ·Educate middle and high school students and families about epidemiology(流行病学) and the science of public health; encourage young people to consider careers in the field of public health.·Make the case for CDC's commitment to participate in global solutions to international public health challenges.Museum Information·Hours: Monday — Wednesday & Friday: 9 am - 5 pm.Thursday: 9 am - 7 pm.Closed weekends & federal holidays.·Location: 1600 Clifton Road NE Atlanta, GA 30329.·Phone: 404-639-0830.·Admission & Parking: Free.· Government-issued photo 1D required for adults over the age of 18.·Passport required for non-U.S. citizens.（1）Which of the following is an objective of the CDC Museum?A To work on disease treatment.B To provide jobs for the young.C To educate people about public health.D To offer solutions to global issues.（2）When is the Museum open?A At 4 pm, Sunday.B At 8 am, Monday.C At 6 pm, Wednesday.D At 11 am, Thursday.（3）What is this text?A A short story of a director.B A program on epidemiology.C An introduction to a museum.D An advertisement for an exhibition.2. Like many people, I’ve spent much of my life trying various diets and methods of losing weight, some quick and painless, others slow and tiring. most of them including the so-called “cheat day”.The principle of the cheat day is simple: After going on a diet throughout a week or a month, you can eat anything you like on that day. The day makes all my eating and drinkingnot only satisfactory but acceptable. After all, I deserve it.However, the problem for me was that cheat days were never quite that. Either they became happy cheat weeks, cheat months and sometimes cheat years, or they filled me with anxiety of going off-track so that I couldn't truly enjoy them. Using food as a reward only perpetuated my unhealthy relationship with food, and it troubled me in my approach to health.After struggling for a couple of months, I came to realize the true colors of the cheat day. It goes to extremes —none or all. Also, cheat days imply that foods can be divided into “good” and “bad”. That's why I fe lt guilty when I had a piece of cake for breakfast instead of fat-free milk. But food, in fact, has no moral (道德的)value. It is simply intended to fill your body and provide nutrition. Hopefully it tastes good, too.This simple thought has inspired me to quit cheat days. I don't feel worried or ashamed any more and start to reconsider my relationship with food. I just pay more attention to the signs of my stomach, and eat what I desire while being mindful of the health results. Doing away with cheat days lightens my mind and improves my relationship with food.（1）What do people do on a "cheat day”?A Tell lies.B Eat what they like.C Go on a diet.D Try gaining weight.（2）What does the underlined word “perpetuated” in paragrap h 3 mean?A Ruined.B Continued.C Repaired.D Improved.（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us?A A healthy relationship with food matters.B One needn't feel guilty about eating little.C “Cheat day” is effective in nutrition control.D Losing weight does harm physically and mentally.3. We know that carbon dioxide is a major driver of climate change, so the more that can be taken out of the atmosphere by plants, the better. With the warmer climate leading to a longer growing season, some scientists have suggested that more carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees. But a new study has turned this theory on its head.The researchers, led by Deborah Zani at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, studied certain tree species and recorded how much carbon each tree absorbed per season. With data from other projects, the researchers found as the rate of photosynthesis (光合作用)increased with warmer climate, leaves changed color and fell earlier in the year.Climate-controlled experiments show what could be behind this unexpected result. In the trials, the trees were exposed to full sun, half shade or full shade. The results show there's a limit to the amount of photosynthesis that a tree can carry out over a growing season and that certain trees can only absorb a set amount of carbon each year. Think of it like filling a bucket with water. It can be done slowly or quickly, but once the bucket is full, there's nowhere for any more water to go.Once that limit is reached, leaves begin to change color. The limit is set by the availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, which is a key nutrient that plants need to grow. The amount of available nitrogen often limits total growth. That's why farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilizer.These new findings have significant implications (启示) for climate change modelling. Ifwe accept that warmer weather and longer growing seasons won't allow trees to take up more carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide levels will rise more quickly than previously expected. The only way to change this will be to increase the capacity(容纳能力) of trees to absorb carbon.（1）What does the new study suggest?A More carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees.B Global warming shortens the growing season of plants.C The amount of carbon dioxide decides the photosynthesis.D Warmer climate may cause leaves to change color earlier.（2）How did the researchers carry out the study?A By analyzing collected data.B By measuring temperature.C By observing changes of shade.D By modeling climate change.（3）The example in paragraph 3 helps readers understand________.A the ways to fill in a bucketB the process of controlling climateC the limitation of carbon absorptionD the importance of sunlight exposure（4）Why do the farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilizers?A To stop total growth of plants.B To change the shape of plants.C To slow the rate of photosynthesis.D To overcome plant growth limitation.二、七选五4. Fireworks are one of many Americans' favorites. While it's safer to leave the show to the professionals and attend a public display, many people also love to shoot off their own.（1）Fireworks can cause serious burns and injuries, even death. It's extremely important that you do everything you can to deal with fireworks safely.（2）The first step to keep yourself safe is to obey all local fireworks laws. States determine what's legal for you to use. In four states，consumer fireworks are completely illegal. It can even vary by county or municipality (市).Next, know your fireworks. Only buy fireworks from licensed dealers. When buying fireworks, read the instructions carefully so you know what each firework will do. Some, like fountains, sit on the ground and shoot sparks into the air.（3）These are less predictable and more likely to function improperly.Once it's time to set off the fireworks，follow these steps to stay safe: Never give fireworks to children. Always have a responsible adult keep an eye on activities. Light fireworks in a clear outdoor area. Never relight a firework that does off. After fireworks are done burning, doucs(浸) them in water.（4）Remember your pets. They're often afraid of the noises fireworks make. Don't take your pets to a fireworks display. This includes small displays or neighborhood gatherings.（5） If it gets scared and runs off during a fireworks display, it will be easier to find with them.A Start off by knowing your local rules.B But shooting them off is a riskyactivity. C Put your pet in a room away from windows. D Others are held in the hand and shoot flaming balls. E Dispose of them in a metal dustbin to prevent afire. F Make sure your pet wears identification tags (标签). G Light fireworks away from trees, buildings, or vehicles.三、完形填空5. On my last birthday, my mum and I tried fly boarding.

ADear strangers,I remember you. Eighteen months ago, when my cell phone rang, you were walkinginto Whole Foods prepared to do your grocery shopping, just as I had been only minutes before you. But I had already abandoned my cart full of groceries in the entryway.My brother was on the other end of the line telling me my father had taken his ownlife early that morning.I started to cry and scream as my whole body trembled. I fell to the floor, myknees bending under the weight of what I had just learned. You could have simply stopped and had a brief look, but you didn’t. Instead, you surrounded me as I yelled through my sobs, “My father killed himself. He’s dead.”I remember one of you asked for my phone and whom you should call. What was my password? You needed my h usband’s name a s you searched through my c ontacts. I remember that I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband for me, leaving an urgentmessage or him to call me. I recall hearing you discuss among yourselves who woulddrive m e home i n my car and who would follow that person back to the store. You didn’t even know one another, but it didn’t matter. You met me, a stranger, in the worstmoment of my life, and you were around me with common purpose—to help.In my fog, I told you that I had a friend who worked at Whole Foods, and one ofyou brought her to me. And I even recall as I sat with her, one of you sent over agift card to Whole Foods; though you didn’t know me, you wanted to let me know thatyou would be thinking of me. That gift card helped to feed my family when the ideaof cooking was so far beyond my emotional reach.I never saw you after that. But I know this to be true: Because you reached outto help, you offered a ray of light in the darkest moment I’ve ever experien ced. You may not remember me. But I will never, ever forget you.21.

What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?To express thanks. B. To call for help.C. To tell a true story.D. To show her sorrow.BFor centuries China has been assoc iated with rich culture and there’s no shortage of books. But that raises a problem: How do you find the book you want?In ancient time the books were made of bamboo a nd wooden chips. After somebody finished reading a book, they would roll the book from the tail end and the topend would be left outside. Usually, two empty chips would be put in the top endand the chapter name written on the back of the empty chips. So when somebodytook the book, they would know the content without opening it. This became the embryonic form (雏形) of the earliest bookmark.During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), silk books gradually replacedbamboo chips. To make it easier for readers to find the book, people would tie a small plate at one end of the roller marked with the book name or other information. Thebookmark during that time was always made with bamboo, with flower patterns on thebamboo as decoration. Wealthy families used ivory as bookmark or hung the ivorybookmarks on the bookshelves.In Tang Dynasty, printing made paper books become popular.

Women experience more motion sickness thanmen while using VR, and researchers have suggested a novel theory, which iscontrary to the commonly held view that motion sickness is caused when yoursenses provide conflicting information.“Women are more likely to be influenced than men b y motion sickness in general,” says Thomas Stoffregen at the University of Minnesota. “We wanted to know whetherthat was also the case with VR headsets.”Stoffregen and his team ran experiments in which 36 people-half of them men, half of them women-played two VR games using the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift headset. Thefirst game in which players had to push a small glass ball around a maze (迷宫) only made a few people feel sick. But the second game that involved taking a virtual walkaround a ghost house set off feelings of sickness in 14 out of 18 women and only sixout of 18 men.Why were women more likely to be affected? Stoffregen’s answer is grounded in his broader ideas on motion sickness. He thinks that it is linked to “posturalsway”-the slight movements our bodies make when we stand or sit still. People whosway more, he says, will be more likely to feel sick.“Women tend to be smaller than men, th ey have a different body shape, and theyhave smaller feet than men of comparable height,” he says. “In a purely physical sense, there’s reduced stability (稳定) in the female body, so there’s an increased likelihood that any sort of disturbing motion stimulus will contribute to instability.” But not everyone agrees.28.
