Row,there are hundreds of children living on the streets or in shelters.It's a place where dreams go to die.But one couple is determined to use their own experience with loss to foster a sense of hope.In 2013,Mary Davis and her husband lost their first unborn kid.Refusing to let the heartbreak break them,they became volunteers in a Skid Row homeless shelter.They found that many of the kids there had never had a single birthday party before,so they decided to throw a birthday party for those homeless kids.They took over a room in the Union Rescue Mission and filled it with streamers,gifts and a cake.The kids were so excited that they made their own music—singing and clapping and,of course,laughing.Since then,the couple have thrown a party each and every month.They routinely attract 250kids and their parents.An hour before each party,volunteers arrive to set up the decorations and activities:face painting,balloon artists,a DJ,cake,and pizza.There are small presents for the kids celebrating their birthdays,but the Davis make sure there are more than enough to go around."I remember a mom came with her kid," Mary says. "It was their first night at the shelter,and her child had a birthday.We had an extra gift for her—pink headphones.The little girl was so excited.And her mom...she's crying. 'I never imagined we would ever need to be in a shelter.I didn't know what to expect.But I really didn't expect a birthday party for my child.' she cried with happiness."Doing her best to normalize these kids' lives is both heartwarming and bittersweet,Mary says. "If you look outside,you see homeless person after homeless person on the street,and it reminds you that these kids don't get to leave this area after the party."It may be why,after throwing 88 parties,she still cries after each one.She credits the kids in the shelter with helping her hold on to hope. "We didn't realize how much joy they were going to bring us," she told CBS News. "And it was so healing for both kids and us."(1)In Skid Row,hundreds of kids ___ .A.were homelessB.lost their parentsC.dropped out of schoolD.were crazy about parties(2)According to the passage,which can best describe Mary? ___A.Honest and generous.B.Caring and generous.C.Outgoing and caring.D.Outgoing and honest.(3)What does the story intend to tell us? ___A.Well begun,half done.B.East or west,home is best.C.What goes around comes around.D.Where there is love,there is hope.5.(填空题,8分)Are Happy Meals Really Happy?Don't we all know a "Happy Meal" when we see one--the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger,kid-sized French fries,fruits and milk,served with a toy that's extremely popularwith children who love to collect them?A Happy Meal is a form of kids' meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979.A toy is included in the meal,both of which are usually contained in a box or paperbag.However,collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer,since the company will replace toys with books and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids,especially for their collectable toys,when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year.These packages have been very controversial.Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices.They see it as an advertising a strategy of "catching its customers young"--a move that has paid off very well for the fast-food company. Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life.Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes.Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent on coping with these health problems.On November 2,2010,the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law requiring that children's meals sold in restaurants must meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys,to overcome the problem of childhood obesity--in other words,the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals.However,it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed,and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that the fast-food company,with its large following of children,can create a powerful message through the books,others believe its actions arecontradictory.Anyway,the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.(1)The aim of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is ___ .A.give a surprise to the toy loversB.get readers' attention to the articleC.call on readers to buy boxed mealsD.make readers think about the answer(2)Books will be added into Happy Meals to ___ .A.introduce the use of the toysB.increase the cost of the mealsC.help kids learn about nutritionD.spread the message of fast food(3)According to Paragraph 3,Happy Meals ___ .A.have achieved the desired resultB.help the customers stay youngC.cost more money than ordinary mealsD.receive approval from health supporters(4)What is the author's opinion about Happy Meals? ___A.They bring much fun to children.B.They teach children a lot about nutrition.C.They do no actual good to children's health.D.They are popular with the young and the old.6.(填空题,8分)CyclingYou need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body.But what about the mind?It's a question that has long challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state of emptying your mind.Dr.John Ratey thinks cycling increases "the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm," but also that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment,as shown in a German study involving 115 children,half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements,while the rest performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic(有氧的)demands.Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests,but the "complex" group did a lot better.There have been other interesting findings too.In 2003,Dr.Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle,a bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other,across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinson's(帕金森)disease,a condition affecting the nervous system.The idea was to raise awareness of the disease,but to the surprise of both riders,the patient showed significant improvements.Dr.Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson's patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes.Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces,while the others were pushed harder.All patients improved,and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.We don't know how this happens,but there is more evidence of the link between Parkinson's and cycling.A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe Parkinson's.At first,we watch the patient trying to walk.He can barely stand and his hands shake uncontrollably.Then we see the man on a bicycle being supported by others.With a push,he's off,cycling past cars with perfect balance.Doctors don't fully understand this discrepancy either,but say that cyclingmay act as some sort of action that helped the patient's brain.The science of cycling is incomplete,but perhaps the most remarkable thing for the everyday rider is that it can require no conscious focus at all.The mindlessness of cycling can not only make us happier,but also leave room for other thoughts.On the seat of my bike,I've solved problems at work and made life decisions,as,I'm sure,have countless others.(1)What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest? ___A.Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.B.The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.ck of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.D.Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task.(2)Studies of people with Parkinson's show that ___ .A.cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into itB.cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the diseaseC.not every person with Parkinson's will benefit from cyclingD.social awareness is more important for Parkinson's sufferers(3)What does the underlined part "this discrepancy" in Paragraph 4 refer to? ___A.Why Parkinson's affects some people and not others.B.Why someone with Parkinson's can cycle but not walk.C.How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinson's.D.How a link between cycling and Parkinson's was discovered.(4)What's the main idea of the passage? ___A.The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.B.Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.C.Cycling has a significant influence on people's mind.D.People may be more intelligent with the help of cycling.7.(填空题,10分)Can Animals Predict Earthquakes?The belief that animals can predict earthquakes has been around for centuries.In 373 B.C.,historians recorded that some animals deserted the Greek City of Helice in groups just days before a quake hit the place.(1)___ Fish moving violently and chickens that stop laying eggs were reported.Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their dogs and cats acting strangely before the ground shook.(2)___ It was documented in news reports that three days before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake,thousands of toads(蟾蜍)appeared on the streets in Mianzhu,a city hit very hardwhere 2,000 people were killed.Also snakes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before the destructive earthquake.(3)___ Some theories are that they feel movements,or weak "shocks",in the earth before humans do;or that they become aware of gases going out of the earth.Another belief is that animals are very much in tune with Earth's magnetic(磁性的)field,so they detect electrical signals caused by electromagnetic field changes,causing them to pay attention to the warning that an earthquake is about to happen.The United States Geological Survey states that there has been no concrete evidence for the fact that animal behavior has a relationship with the occurrence of an earthquake.(4)___ American experts on earthquakes are also skeptical.They think that animals may have strange behavior at any time due to other reasons—because they are hungry,defending their "countries",or are about to face a dangerous situation.(5)___ They continue to follow the "anecdotal evidence".The hope is that one day what they have learned will prove to be extremely useful in predicting earthquakes more accurately,thus saving millions of lives.A.Exactly what animals have sensed can't be fully understood.B.The connection between them has never been scientifically made.C.Other researchers around the world,however,have not given up on the idea.D.It is necessary to know if the animal behavior is an advanced warning signal.E.Records of similar animal foretelling of earthquakes have surfaced ever since.F.Wild creatures also show various kinds of abnormal reactions before earthquakes.G.Perhaps this sense that some animals appear to have can protect us from natural disasters.8.(问答题,12分)Discovered by AmateursSome astronomers spend their entire careers looking for new discoveries in space,but a 10-year-old Canadian girl found one on her first try.In January,2011,Kathryn Gray,who often studied stars,was looking at recent pictures of outer space and comparing them to pictures taken years earlier.The pictures were just thousands of tiny spots of light,but Gray spotted a star that looked different in the recent pictures.Could it possibly be a supernova (超新星)?Usually a supernova is brighter,and it becomes visible through a telescope due to the ter Gray's discovery was confirmed,and she became the youngest person to discover a supernova.Throughout history,important discoveries in astronomy have been made by amateurs.An early example is William Herschel,who discovered Uranus in 1781.Uranus had been observed before,but expert astronomers thought it didn't belong to our solar system.When Herschel sawit with a telescope he had designed and built himself,he realized that it was orbiting the sun.This meant that Uranus was a planet.And so,the map of our night sky was changed forever.Then in 1930,a major discovery was made by a 24-year-old man,a farmer's son,with no college education or formal training in astronomy.Clyde Tombaugh had built a homemade telescope using instructions from an article in a boy's magazine.He used to draw detailed pictures of the surfaces of Mars and Jupiter.He sent the pictures to Dr.V.M.Slipher at the Lowell Observatory,who was so impressed and offered him a job on his team.Within a year,Tombaugh discovered a ninth planet,Pluto.It was regarded as a planet for 76 years,but scientists decided in 2006 that Pluto didn't meet all of the criteria for a true planet.It was then considered to be a dwarf planet.John Dobson is another influential amateur astronomer because he enabled so many others to take up astronomy as a hobby.In 1956,after constant attempts,he built a powerful telescopeout of low-cost materials,such as paper tubes used in construction.With affordable tools like Dobson's telescope,more amateurs today have the technology that is needed to make discoveries of their own.(1)How did Kathryn Gray discover the supernova? ___(2)Why did Clyde Tombaugh get a job at the Lowell Observatory? ___(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.The four amateur astronomers were all interested in astronomy and did some research,so they finally made discoveries of their own. ___(4)Which of the amateur astronomers mentioned in the passage has impressed you most?Why?(about 40 words) ___9.(问答题,20分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华.英国交换生Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对你校的学生社团非常感兴趣,计划下学期参加其中一个.他向你征询建议.请给他回邮件,内容包括:1.推荐的社团;2.推荐的理由;3.建议他做哪些准备.注意:1.词数不少于50;2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数.Dear Jim,_______Yours,Li Hua。

2020-2021学年广东省东莞市东华高级中学高二下学期期末试卷英语试题1. Spring is the perfect time to enjoy a stay at some historic house hotels and enjoy their superb gardens in bloom.Middlethorpe Hall Gardens—YorkMiddlethorpe Hall is set within 20 acres of gardens and parkland, which have been extensively restored and replanted since the 1980's.Walks were re-created providing paths, allowing guests to discover wildlife including roe deer and various nesting birds around the lake.The kitchen garden produces not only a beautiful display of flowers but holds herb beds which have been planted for fruits: apples, pears, plums and peaches, all of which are used by the chefs to create wonderful puddings.The team of gardeners has also created an organic “potager”, producing a wide selection of vegetables. Guests can follow a special tree trail around the grounds of Middlethorpe Hall, witha copy of their “The Gardens and Trees of Interest” Guide and Map to identify s pecimens(标本).Guests should head toward the English Oak, a tree planted some 200 years ago.Hartwell House Gardens—BuckinghamshireDesigned at the start of the 18th century and landscaped by Richard Woods, the gardens atHartwell House offer guests plenty to explore.You can spend hours discovering the grounds which include a Gothic Tower, a Statue ofHercules, a mile-long avenue and the Canal Temple home to 10,000 daffodils.A kitchen garden used by the chefs features peach, pear and plum trees. Guests can follow a trailaround the grounds with a copy of their Tree Map to identify 10 specimens. Several tenniscourts are also available for guest use.1. At Middlethorpe Hall Gardens, the guests can ________.A.plant English oak trees B.grow fruits in the gardenC.get close to wild animals D.make puddings in the kitchen2. What do these two gardens have in common?A.Both were designed in the 18th century.B.Both are equipped with sports facilities.C.Both have specimens for guests to explore.D.Both provide the freshest vegetables to guests.3. What type of writing is the text?A.A hotel review. B.A travel guide.C.A research journal. D.A historical document.2. Friday night, I was struggling to choose a good movie to watch. I spent 20 minutes looking through hundreds of choices at Amazon Video and still couldn’t decide. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that I had to choose a great movie to watch, because if didn’t I would be wasting my time. I thought that instead of watching a bad movie, I would be better off using my time in a more meaningful way (I see this as an opportunity cost). After seeing the reviews and asking around for suggestions, ended up watching LaLa Land, a popular movie that most of my friends have seen recently.The next day, I went to Duane Reade to buy toothpaste and was overwhelmed again by the large quantity of the choice. I started wondering if more choices empower consumers or just make them think they are empowered, when in reality they are just at a loss.From finding a good restaurant to searching for your life partner, everything is all about choices; big or small, they are all related. Take dating life in New York for example. There are an endless range of choices which can lead to many New Yorkers finding it hard to make a decision. It is a big city with a lot of lonely “I could do better” people that are constantly searching for the next best one.It doesn’t contradict with pr oviding people choices and information to empower them, as there is difference between having a reasonable number of choices and an overwhelming amount. When we are overwhelmed with the number of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. You might calculate the opportunity cost and think about “what if”.I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it.1. Why did the writer find it hard to choose a movie to watch?A.He thought watching a bad movie wasn’t meaningful.B.He didn’t know which movies were popular among his friends.C.He found it challenging to choose from so many choicesD.He believed it a waste of time to look through hundreds of choices.2. What can be inferred from the text?A.Living a simple life is always challenging.B.More choices may lead to dissatisfaction with our decision.C.New Yorkers tend to be discontented their dating partner.D.Opportunity cost is what we should consider when making a decision.3. What’s the author’s attitude towards the endless choices presented to him?A.Positive. B.Neutral. C.Unconcerned. D.Negative4. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Less is BetterB.Make Your Choice GoadC.More Choices, More OpportunitiesD.Simple is Better, Less is More3. With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient.After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents.But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors (传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride.Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company.“Smart cities will also allow us to save resources.” said Mrinalini Ingram.“By using sens ors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart citi es as well.”Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure (基础设施).1. What calls for the development of smart cities?A.The rapid progress in 5G networks.B.The marked increase in world population.C.The growing number of residents living in cities.D.The major concern over the safety of living in cities.2. How does the author explain the way smart cities work?A.By making a contrast.B.By giving examples.C.By listing figures.D.By telling a story.3. What can we learn from Mrinalini Ingram about smart cities?A.Air pollution will be stopped in its track.B.People will be better aware of environmental protection.C.People will be able to make the most of our environment at will.D.Resources can be saved by keeping track of how they are used.4. What is the author’s attitude toward smart cities?A.Indifferent. B.Critical. C.Positive. D.Doubtful.4. In 2016, the world’s population cast aside 49 million tons of electronic waste, known as e-waste.It has been calculated that this number will grow to more than 60 million tons by 2021.What is causing the upsurge ( 激增 ) in e-waste? Technology is becoming more and more widespread, covering almost every aspect of our lives. Meanwhile, the lifespan of devices is getting shorter---many products will be thrown away once their batteries die, to be replaced by new devices. Companies intentionally plan the obsolescence ( 过时 ) of their goods by updating the design or software and discontinuing support for older models, so that now it is usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one. Since prices are falling, electronic devices are in demand around the world.As more people buy electronic equipment, manufacturers ( 制造商 ) are beginning to face shortages of the raw materials needed to make their products, so recycling and reusing materials from discarded products and waste makes economic and environmental sense.Recycling e-waste is practiced both formally and informally. Proper or formal e-waste recycling usually involves taking apart the electronics, separating and sorting through the materials and cleaning them. Companies must obey health and safety rules to reduce the health and environmental hazards of handling e-waste by using pollution-control technologies. All this makes formal recycling expensive. Informal recycling is typically unlicensed and uncontrolled. At informal recycling workshops, men and women recover valuable materials by burning devices to melt away non-valuable materials. Usually they do not wear protective equipment and lack any awareness that they are handling dangerous materials.With the amount of e-waste growing around the world, recycling alone will not be enough to solve the problem. In order to reduce e-waste, manufacturers need to design electronics that are safer, and more durable, repairable and recyclable. The best thing you can do is resist buying a new device until you really need it. Try to get y our old product repaired if possible and, if it can’t be fixed, resell or recycle it responsibly. Before you recycle your device, put any broken parts in separate containersand close these tightly to prevent chemicals from leaking. Wear latex gloves and a mask if you’re handling something that’s broken.1. How do companies contribute to the rapid growth of e-waste?A.They sell their new products at extremely low price.B.They plan a short lifespan for the batteries intentionally.C.They do not provide support for old model on purpose.D.They update the design and software to cover every aspect of our lives.2. The underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 4 probably means _________.A.harm B.problems C.concern D.protection3. The passage is intended for ________.A.manufacturers B.consumers C.managers D.salesmen4. The purpose of the article is _________.A.to call for everyone to play a part in reducing e-wasteB.to promote a style of living without electronic devicesC.to explain why manufacturers need to recycle e-wasteD.to appeal to the companies to sell less devices5. How to Understand the Mind of an InterviewerGetting inside an interviewer’s head can be tricky, as their perspective will change according to personality type, professional role, and personal experience. 1Research the company to determine what the interviewer is looking for. Company culture (work-life balance, atmosphere, etc.) is a great indicator of what your interviewer will want to see in candidates.2 You can look for company mission statements for a better understanding of company culture, or quotes from top-level executives (领导层), like CEOs, which often set the tone for company culture.Look up the interviewer when possible. 3 This is the perfect chance to look up background information on the interviewer on the company’s website. Professional and social media platforms can also help you better know what to expect from an interviewer.4 Many interviewers determine the truthfulness of your resume (简历) this way. If you respondwith answers that are inconsistent with what you wrote in your resume, many interviewers will interpret it as a red flag. Thus, remember to review the start and end dates of positions listed on your resume and try not to be annoyed at this kind of fact checking.Identify how the interviewer’s position will influence expectations. The role of your interviewer usually has an impact on what that person expects from a candidate. An HR representative, forexample, will want to know y ou’re a good fit with the company culture and values.
