City farms are an experiment.D. City farms save a lot of energy.CIn the long history of pipe-assisted drinking—beginning with the gold beer-sipping tubes of the Sumerians —Starbucks's plastic straws（吸管）knew they had some advantages over the rest.Their tight white wrapping carried not only English words but a French style.They stood straight and tall as a stalk （秆）of wheat，with no ugly appearance.And their colour was beautiful.It was darker than the leaves of spring，and lighter than the Washington forests and the logo of the company.But despite all that，they were to disappear by 2020，for not being green enough.Of course，the straws played an important part in daily life.You could build a cottage with them，or make a hat.At best，they might compose a mat.Their nearest relatives were not delicate grasses，but single-useplastic tubes.Yet this did not concern them，because they had a higher calling：to refresh human beings.Rather than pumping up the customer with hot highly-effective Americanos，they cooled him with less caffeine and more play.People，especially teenagers and children，needed them to socialize，and amuse themselves.All these folk could have drunk their Frappuccino or their iced teas directly from the plastic cup，of course. Some did，ignoring the eager straws standing ready.Fun was why green straws had been put into use at all.They began their service not when Starbucks was founded，in 1971，but when it introduced the Frappuccino almost three decades later.Green straws marched in，along with whipped cream.They meant happiness.Yet for each of those straws，the Frappuccino and its followers faced a serious challenging.Through the flat plastic lids of iced coffees，now sharply scored with a cross，they were expected to do the same.However，the straws were thrown to the bin，either in-store or in the street after being used.They lay where they were thrown in woods，or fields，or among the hills.They would never be dust.They had eternal（永久的）life.That's the reason why they would disappear.8. Why would Starbucks's plastic straws disappear？______A. They were not environmentally friendly.B. They were not widely used in everyday life.C. They took on an ugly look in appearance.D. They were uncomfortable for followers to use.9. What effect did straws have on people？______A. Calming.B. Uplifting.C. Disturbing.D. Depressing.10. What does the underlined word "Some" refer to in paragraph 3？______A. Humans.B. Straws.C. Iced teas.D. Plastic tubes.11. What is the best title for the passage？______A. Why Are the Green Straws So Popular？B. Protecting the Environment s Our DutyC. Don't Drink Iced Frappuccino Any MoreD. Say Goodbye to Starbucks's Green StrawsDHave you ever imagined what technology might look like in the future？Everything becomes easier，which is one tap.Over the course of human history，technology gradually can become so convenient and more than.And because of that，technology has been a large part of human life in the past 20 cators also use technology to teach children about the use of technology in the current time.Is that everything technology can do with education today？If you ask me，I would say parents who should be closest to their children should also use these wonderful tools in families' education too.So why do Imention family's education here and what does technology do with it？Many people，especially parents，think they shouldn't let their children interact with social network at this age.Don't you think they are too young for it ？They may fall，they may become addicted to it，and not care about their parents anymore.And that's why technology becomes used widely in many places，like schools and companies，but not in families.However，technology does carry many risks，and if you don't know how to use and understand this probably it can easily lead to many disadvantages，especially for children，because they may not be aware enough of these dangers.But fortunately，the disadvantages are avoidable.Families could set logical time to limit the children to use their electronic devices.Parents can also apply technology to teaching their children，so that games and videos are suitable for children with a certain amount of time.Through technology，children can have more opportunities and more time to explore and develop themselves，and understand what they really like and find the true path in the future.These are things that often in school，children don't get much access to because they have to spend more time on other subjects，like social science and maths.That's why this is a good choice for parents to use technology to help children discover themselves at home.12. What can we infer about technology from Paragraph 1？______A. It can provide more changes in history.B. It becomes inconvenient and more than.C. It can be difficult for people to acquire.D. It plays an important role in daily life.13. Why isn't technology used widely in families？______A. It is not easy to connect the Internet in families.B. It is difficult to get access to technology in families.C. Parents worry that it has a bad effect on children.D. Children can't get much amusement from technology.14. How are the disadvantages avoidable？______A. Make the Internet offline.B. Interact with social network.C. Limit the time online.D. Improve computer system.15. What is the author's attitude to the use of technology at home？______A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Favorable.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Learning English doesn't always mean sitting in the classroom and studying boring grammar.In fact，there are a number of ways to improve your understanding of the language.（1）______ So if you' re keen to improve your English then consider some of these handy tips to get you on your way.Watch television and films in English.There are good TV shows and filmsin English，and you can learn English while watching them.（2）______ Read English books or newspapers.Reading is a great way of practising your English in your spare time.If you're a beginner，pick up a children's book whose language can be easier than an adult book.（3）______ Not only can you improve your English，but you'll learn about local and national goings-on.And it can be handy when you communicate with native speakers.（4）______ If you just spend your time outside of the classroom with people from your own country，you'll miss a big chance to practise English.If you try to make friends with other English speakers，you'll be forced into speaking the English language.If you have difficulty finding English speakers，at least try and spend time with people from other countries.In this way，you will still have to speak English.Make notes of new vocabulary.（5）______ Whenever you have free time，you can practise what you've learned.You can even do this on your phone so that you needn't take a notebook with you.A.Learn to speak English actively.B.Many of them can actually be fun.C.Newspapers are also worth reading.D.Surround you with English speakers.E.As you travel home or fall asleep，you can listen to it.F.Whenever you learn a new word，make sure you make a note of it.G.You can also listen to English radio stations and find plenty of listening materials on the Internet.16.

But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names Where do they come from What do they meanPeople’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook 小溪; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter— a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.36. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOTcover A. Places where people lived. B. People’s characters.C. Talents that peopl e possessed.D. People’s occupations.37.

He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger through one of theholes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one." One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs." Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s dea th, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas" he asked."The letters"'I guess you never knew.""Knew what""Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street It was your dad who answered all those letters every year."I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several ofthe people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift ofa lifetime.46. It can be inferred推断 from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as __________.A. great chances to help other peopleB. happy occasions to play with baby chickensC. exciting experience with a lot of funD. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies47. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ________.A. Dad had a strong sense of dutyB. Dad was an honest and reliable manC. Dad had a strong sense of honorD.

At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word "head" should be spelled “hed”, and the word“laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.16．What was Noah Webster when he was young?A．A writer.B．A teacher.C．A painter.D．A reporter.17．Why did Webster decide to write books?A．Because he wanted to earn more money.B．Because he wasn’t satisfied with the books he used.C．Because there were not enough books in the market.D．Because he had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.18．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．Webster spoke English in a different way.B．American people didn't like speaking English.C．Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks.D．American people didn't write English as exactly as English people did.19．What is Noah Webster famous for in American history?A．His teaching methods.B．His dictionary.C．His fighting for freedom.D．Learning foreign languages.20．What does the last sentence of this article mean?A．Most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s.B．Most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing.C．Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States.D．Most dictionaries in American English have the characteristic (特点) of Webster’s. 4.（12.5分）CLong, long ago people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.21. From the text we know that a spark can _______.A. fire any leavesB. burn anythingC. burn dry leavesD. keep fire burning22. Matches have been used ________.A. for about two thousand yearsB. for about two hundred yearsC. since people began to use fire for cookingD. since people used the heat from the sun23. From the text, we know that _______.A. electric fire starters are of great useB. people haven’t used matches since they had electric fire startersC. today there are only two ways to make fireD. forest fires can’t happen from lightening24. The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．A. matchesB. peopleC. new waysD.fires25. Which of the following is the right order (排序) of the ways to make fires people got to know?a. with a matchb. from the sunc. from lighteningd. by rubbinge. with an electric fire starterA. a, b, c, d, eB. b, c, a, e, dC. c, d, b, a, eD. d, a, c, b, e三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension（理解）is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently（流利地）. 26 .First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.27 . The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from , which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (使沮丧) by limited understanding. 28 .Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.29 . Don’t concentrate on (专注于) details until you have understood the main idea.30 . This approach (方法) usually results in confusion（困惑）. Translating leads toa kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.B. What should you do?C. Do not translate everything into your native language.D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.E. The next step is to find listening resources.F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.G. But listening is still a problem.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分15分）6.（15分）There are a thousand heroes in a thousand people’s eyes. In my view, a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others 31 .When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and 32 t hem was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn’t even33 . It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me, and I 34 into this huge hole of depression.35 I was battling with depression, I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life. It was 36 to be happy, but I had to try. It was then that I decided to join Women’s Choir (合唱队). Mr. Wright was the choral director who was so funny that I knew I had made the best 37 of my life. As the year progressed, I began to smile again.Then one day that all changed. My friends or those that I thought were my friends—started talking about me behind my back. I was 38 , sitting by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could 39 him. Trying hard to fight back tears, I told him the whole story.“If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth 40 your joy.” What Mr. Wright said really struck a chord in my heart. He 41 cared about me and what was going on. I’m really grateful, because he not only saved me but has 42 my life ever since. Whenever I feel like giving up, I remember Mr. Wright’s words and 43 . Eventually, I beat my depression and now enjoy being in the best choir at my school.Mr. Wright is a hero to me and everyone he meets.

福建省福州第三中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷(含答案)
福建省福州第三中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Even if you're in the market for a new smartphone，your older one needn't go to landfill （垃圾场）.Is your older smartphone or tablet now lacking the ability to meet your daily demands？If so，don't throw away just yet—it could still easeful for jobs that require a little less processing power.Smartphones and tablets can enjoy a second life as a universal remote control for smart devices and their various apps around the home. You can also use them to play music and video from streaming services，to cast to compatible devices，or as a home server.Why not attach an old iPad to the wall to use as a digital calendar or family planner？Or save a huge amount of money on baby monitors by fixing a phone or tablet with a monitoring app above the bassinet（婴儿摇篮）instead？If you can't repurpose your old smartphone， recycle it instead.Smartphones are full of recyclable materials including rare and valuable metals such as gold， silver ， platinum and copper— 99%of these can be reused if you recycle your phone correctly.They may end up in new tech products or enjoy a new life as something entirely different.For example，the plastic in mobile phone casing can be processed into pellets（小球）and used for products such as.pallets（托盘）.Not only does this mean producing less plastic，but it cuts down on the energy needed to make new plastics.Some people are understandably unwilling to recycle their phones because they worry about losing their personal data，or that it'll end up in the wrong hands.But，by following some simple steps、you can wipe your data before you recycle it.1、Y our older smartphone or tablet can be reused for many jobs exceptA.working as a digital calendarB.monitoring babiesC.processing complex dataD.playing streaming video2、How can you recycle your older smartphone？A. Reuse the metals in it to develop new products.B.Fix it with a monitoring app.C.Break it down with certain chemicals.D.Transform it to a new one.3、What may the passage talk about next？A. Why people are unwilling to recycle their phones.B. Measures to recycle your older smartphone.C.Importance of protecting your personal data.D.Give suggestions to remove your data on the phone."Sunshine might be healthier than most people think, outweighing the risk of skin cancer", British doctors suggested last week. The four researchers at Bristol University were accused of weakening years of campaigning to warn people of the dangers of too much sun. Experts agree exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates the signs of aging. But in the British Medical Journal the Bristol team led by Andrew Ness wrote, "There is evidence that the potential benefits of exposure to sunlight may outweigh the widely publicized negative effects on the incidence of skin cancer."Vitamin D, made in the body in reaction to sunlight, prevented rickets(软骨病) in children and was associated with a protective effect against heart disease.Sunshine was also useful for treating certain skin conditions and there was also the "feel good effect of lying or sitting in the sun". The researchers said it was too early to advise people to spend more time in the sun, but suggested the basis of the current advice to cover up should be reviewed."Perhaps, while we await the conclusions of such formal analyses, those of us who enjoy spending time in the sun can rest assured that the chance that we will be one of the people dying from the sun small." they added.Their article was strongly criticized by health campaigners who claimed it was unbalanced and not backed by scientific evidence. Britain's Health Education Authority said skin cancer was the most common form of cancer in the country, with more than 50, 000 new cases diagnosed each year and more than 2,000 people dying from the disease. It said treatment almost always required surgery and almost 50 percent of cases were fatal. The authority's skin cancer campaign manager Christopher New said, "We are very disappointed with this controversial article. It doesn't have enough supporting evidence and runs the risk undoing many years of "good health education".4、What can we learn about the four researchers in the first paragraph?A. They were accused of warning people of the danger of too much sunB. They agreed exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays accelerated people's aging.C. They publicized the negative effect of the sun on the incidence of skin cancerD. They believed being exposed to sunlight might be beneficial to people's health.5、What will the Bristol team support?A. Children should cover up in the sunlight.B. Sunshine helps to treat some skin conditions.C. Those enjoying the sun are free of skin cancer.D.

Sunshine can prevent heart disease in childrenD. A study found sunshine has lots of benefitsDo you get your best ideas when you are bored，or when you are out doing new things？ What should we look for when we want to be more creative？Boredom（枯燥）and stimulus（刺激物）may be opposites，but studies into creativity suggest that actually we might need both.Writing for BBC Culture，Clair Thorp looks at the role that boredom plays in the creative process.Many writers and artists credit being bored with helping them have their best ideas — JK Rowling came up with Harry Potter while on a long train journey.Thorp tells us how some researchers believe that boredom drives our brains to find something to do —leading to creative ideas.So， maybe we should take the advice of the musician Quest love and learn to ignore the distractions that we can find on our phones.However，before we all start planning how to bore ourselves into creativity，Sandi Mann， an academic and author，warns that too much boredom can take away the energy we need for creativity.Many experts talk about the importance of finding new experiences inorder to be more creative.Actor and writer Kayode Ewumi recommends getting on a random bus and seeing where you end up or learning a new musical instrument as ways to avoid writer's block.Professor Gerard Puccio，a professor of creativity studies，believes that having to look at new things，or old things in a different light，can force us to make unusual connections and come up with innovative solutions.So perhaps what we need is a balance enough stimulus to make us look at things in different ways ，and enough boredom to give us the breathing space to work through these thoughts.8、Which statement will Questlove agree with？A. Musicians tend to feel bored with their careers.B.Online information is the source of inspiration.C.New experiences invite more different ideas.D.Boredom can promote creative ideas.9、According to Sandi Mann，what could be the problem with having too much boredom？A. Not having enough energy to be creative.B. Failing to gain inspiration from others.C. Being stuck.in old things.D.Losing.interest in creative work.10、Which might be the best way to become more creative？A. Thinking independently all the time.B. Making use of materials at hand.C.Balancing boredom and new experiences.D.Looking for stimulus here and there.11、How does the author explain the point in the text？A. By making comparisons.B.By quoting famous people's views.C. 'By conducting a study.D. By relating to different cultures.We've known for years that plants can see，hear，smell and communicate with chemicals．Now，reported New Scientist，they have been recorded making sounds when stressed．In a yet to be published study，Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University，inIsrael，found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic（超声的）noises．The plants "cry out" due to lack of water，or when their stems（茎）are cut．It's just too high﹣pitched（音调高的）for humans to hear．Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of20to100kilohertz（千赫兹）．Human hearing usually ranges from20 hertz to 20 kilohertz． "These findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom，"they wrote．On average， "thirsty" tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour，while tobacco plants made 11．When plant stems were cut，tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour，and tobacco plants 15．Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour，on average．Perhaps most interestingly ， different types of stress led to different sounds ． The researchers trained a machine﹣learning model to separate the plants' sounds from those of the wind，rain and other noises of the greenhouse．In most cases，it correctly identified whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut，based on a sound's intensity and frequency．Water﹣ hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco，for example．Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants，they think other plants also make sounds when stressed．If farmers could hear these sounds，said the team，they could give water to the plants that need it most．As climate change causes more droughts，they said this would be important information for farmers． "The sounds that drought﹣stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture（精准农业）， " said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens，Kew， in the UK．Khait's report also suggests that insects and mammals can hear the sounds up to 5 meters away and respond．For example，a moth（蛾子）may decide not to lay eggs on a water ﹣stressed plant．Edward Farmer，at the University of Lausanne，Switzerland，isIf plants are screaming for fear of their survival ，should we be thankful we can't hear them？12、What did Khait and his team find from their research？A. Plants made low﹣pitched sounds when in danger．B. Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses．C. Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed．D. Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other．13、How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text？A．A plant reacted to different stresses with the same sound．B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water﹣hungry ones．C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought﹣stressed ones．D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water．14、What's the main idea of Paragraph 6？A．The potential applications of the research．B．Challenges facing farmers in the future．C．Farmers' contributions to the research．D．What the future agriculture will be like．15、The underlined word "speculative" in the second to last paragraph has the closestA. practicalB. unsuspectedC．unsupportedD．complicated二、七选五16、Nowadays，are you sitting more and more？Take a moment to think about your sitting habits.You're probably sitting while reading this. ①_________Besides，many people still lie on the sofa swiping their phones instead of doing exercise after work.That's undoubtedly a lot of sitting.The fact is that the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ②_________People know sitting too much is unsuitable，and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long﹣time TV watching.But what problems gradually exist when we seat ourselves for nearly eight hours per day？A study on nearly 8000 adults suggests that there's a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death from any cause.③________"Sit less，move more" is what the Heart Foundation encourages us to do.④________It is like telling people to just "exercise" without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example，the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week，plus muscle strengthening exercise two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting.⑤________One of them is from Diaz's research team. "It would probably be like this：for every 30 continuous minutes of siting， stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace，" Diaz，the lead researcher，said，adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approaches.A. Now it's time to get up and move around.B. It is quite usual for you to remain seated in a business meeting.C. As the total sitting time increases，so does the danger of early death.D. But the function of this rule is just too simple and abstract to benefit us a lot.E. The experts suggest that more exercise should be done to reduce sitting time.F. It is reported that many people have spent more than 6 hours sitting or lying.G. Various specific and detailed guidelines have been made to inspire people to reduce sitting time.三、完形填空（15空）When I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010, we were in the fallout of therecession(经济衰退).

The reason why Keith Limbert learned to drive at his old age was a touching love story, as he was forced to face the lessons for driving a car for his wife. 79-year-old Keith from West Yorkshire put all his efforts into passing the driving test, so that he could take his wife for treatments every day.Even though he had attempted (尝试) driving when he was 25, he couldn’t get through the first two tests. Since then, his loving wife Anne had always driven him around. However, when 58-year-old Anne’s health took a turn for the worse, he had to go back to the driving school again.After Anne had a stroke (中风) in 2015, leaving her in a wheelchair, the couple had to rely on others for their travels. Annoyed with many difficulties, Keith realized that it was time for him to take up learning to drive again. Eventually, it became a necessity when Anne was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer in late 2016.Unfortunately, his wife’s condition required regular trips to and from hospital and he was Anne’s full-time caregiver. He loved his wife so much that he did his best to pass his driving test on the third attempt. This time, his hard work paid off. Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.Now this loving couple is leading a comfortable life and on most days, he takes himself to the gym and takes his wife for a coffee.“I don’t feel like I am 79 at all,” Keith is happy to keep his youthful spirit with a pleasant smile on his face.4．Why did Keith try his best to get his driving’s license?A．He didn’t want to waste money.B．He could travel to work conveniently.C．He was persuaded by his family to do so.D．He wanted to drive his wife for her treatments.5．What made Keith’s wife sit in a wheelchair?A．That she fell from a high place and injured her legs.B．That she couldn’t move around due to her breast cancer.C．That a blood tube in her brain burst or became blocked.D．That she had a serious traffic accident and became disabled.6．How can we best describe Keith according to the text?A．Optimistic and considerate.B．Hardworking and generous.C．Shy and cautious.D．Stubborn and bad-tempered.7．What can be the subject of the text?A．Old man realizes his dream of owning a car.B．Old man learns to drive for his beloved one.C．Self-help is better than help from others.D．Never too old to learn to drive.Researchers have found a chemical from a kind of worm (蠕虫) can break down one of the most common forms of plastic. The finding could open up new ways to deal with pollution.There have been several studies showing that microorganisms can release enzymes (酶) that cause the plastics to start to break down, but that process may take a long time. The recently-discovered enzymes were found in the saliva (唾液) of the waxworm. They appear to act in only a few hours.Federica Bertocchini is one of the researchers, who is also a beekeeper and always stores honeycombs, which are built by bees to store honey. One year Bertocchini found her honeycombs full of waxworms. She cleaned the honeycombs and put the worms in a plastic bag. When she returned later, she found that the bag was full of holes. She wondered if the worms were eating the plastic, or if there was a chemical reaction that caused the holes. “We checked and found that the plastics had been broken down,” she said.In her latest research, Bertocchini and her co-workers found two enzymes in the worm’s saliva. The enzymes appeared to break down plastics in only a few hours.Bertocchini’s team is still trying to understand how the worms break down the plastics. They know much more research is needed before the findings can be used to process plasticwaste. However, Bertocchini said the enzymes could be put into a water mixture and then put “over piles of collected plastics” in a waste center. She said that, in the future, the enzymes could be used in homes, where families could deal with their own plastic waste.8．What can we learn about the microorganisms in para. 2?A．They are fond of eating small pieces of plastics.B．They are widely used to deal with plastic pollution.C．It takes long for their enzymes to break down plastics.D．They can easily produce a large amount of useful saliva in a short time.9．How did Bertocchini make the discovery?A．By accident.B．By keeping waxworms.C．By doing experiments.D．By studying bees.10．Why were there many holes in Bertocchini’s bag?A．The bees flew to and bit it.B．There was a chemical reaction.C．There were some sharp things in it.D．The worms chewed and swallowed the plastic.11．What does the author think about the new method of breaking down plastics?A．It’s a theoretical possibility, but it won’t happen.B．It may replace the usual ways soon.C．It is getting increasingly popular.D．There is still a long way to go.People of San Francisco and visitors now have a place to learn and study the largely forgotten history of Chinese workers who helped build the US’ first transcontinental (横贯大陆的) railroad.The Chinese Railroad Workers History Center, near the southern entrance of San Francisco’s Chinatown, is expected to serve as a “gathering place” for people to learn about Chinese Americans’ heritage (遗产) in the US, according to the founder, Florence Fang, a Chinese community leader in the Bay Area. “The center’s purpose is to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ contribution to this country. The goal is to give voice to the voiceless, and the spirit is to remember the past and inspire the future,” said Fang.The building of the Transcontinental Railroad, originally known as the Pacific Railroad, was completed on May 10, 1869．It was considered one of the most remarkable engineering achievements of the 19th century. The railroad greatly changed the nation as it not onlyexpanded the American economy but also increased national confidence.The Chinese workers made up more than 80 percent of the railroad workforce. “What is important to remember is the sweat and the tears and sometimes the lives of the Chinese workers who built the most treacherous, difficult part of the Transcontinental Railroad,” said California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, “Now it will go down in history along with so many other unbelievably important contributions of Chinese Americans.”Kounalaki s and other elected officials in the state and the city joined community leaders on Wednesday at the center to commemorate the 154th anniversary of the completion of the railroad and pay tribute (致敬) to the Chinese workers.“This center joins several other institutions in San Francisco, like the Chinese Historical Society and the Chinese Culture Center, to attract visitors and to teach Chinese American history and culture,” said Peskin, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.“It comes at a critical time for us. It comes as Chinatown and the home of San Francisco have experienced three very difficult years, Chinatown in particular, not only with the economic harm, but with the rise of Asian hate,” he said. “The center will help teach future generations and make San Francisco proud,” said Peskin. “It will help promote the economy of Chinatown.”12．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．The inspiration of designing the center.B．The intention of opening the center.C．The process of building the center.D．The cost of building the center. 13．What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “treacherous” in paragraph 4?A．Unimportant.B．Interesting.C．Expensive.D．Dangerous. 14．Why does the center come at a critical time, based on Peskin’s words?A．There is an increasing feeling of dislike for Asians.B．The economy of Chinatown is developing at a faster speed.C．Other institutions such as Chinese history and literature are being damaged.D．Americans in San Francisco begin to appreciate the Chinese workers’ contributions. 15．What is a suitable title for the news report?A．A railroad transforms American history into what it is todayB．Chinese workers help build US’ first transcontinental railroadC．San Francisco has a new center to remember Chinese railroad workersD．People commemorate 154th anniversary of US’ first transcontinental railroad二、七选五Online marketing means advertising and marketing by using the Internet to drive sales of a product or service. The following are four online marketing methods for you to choose from.Write a blog16 . You can give advice on how to write articles and write product review s and posts about upcoming events. Blogs give you more flexibility than other forms of social media like Facebook or Twitter. That’s because you own the content and aren’t bound (约束) by a third party’s rules or restrictions.Create videosVideo is so popular because it’s interesting and allows people to get information and entertainment that’s easy to digest. You can produce creative videos that educate your customers about your products. 17 .Write e-books18 . Price Waterhouse Cooper predicts that income from e-book sales in the United States will grow from $2.31 billion in 2015 to $8.69 billion in 2023.

However, as I did more 23 , I realized that there was so much more about UNESCO than just listing valuable heritage sites around the world.UNESCO was 24 in 1942 in the midst of World WarⅡ. Many European 25 that had been fighting against Nazi Germany came together to 26 ways of rebuilding the 27 system after the war was over. Since then, the organization has expanded (扩大) beyond Europe to include all 28 of the United Nations while keeping to their 29 goal of achieving 30 through the intellectual and moral education of humanity.I had high expectations for this event, which 31 to be an evening of music, dance and a display of arts by three countries along the Silk Road. The performances were indeed excellent. The three musical performances by the Kazakh band, filled with wonderful music and low drum beats, had everyone on the edge of their 32 . I also enjoyed the hanfu fashion show which was the final performance for the evening. The history of hanfu was 33 by models wearing clothes from different Chinese dynasties. They walked onto the stage while the host explained the details of each hanfu style. I found the event to be not only 34 entertaining, but also a great opportunity to explore the 35 of different countries along the Silk Road. UNESCO’s events offer chances to celebrate and appreciate their unique beauty.21．A．introducing B．attending C．reviewing D．recording 22．A．replaced B．decorated C．noticed D．created 23．A．sport B．research C．practice D．shopping 24．A．founded B．bothered C．controlled D．separated 25．A．villages B．libraries C．governments D．banks26．A．turn down B．look for C．turn over D．put down 27．A．industry B．education C．agriculture D．transport 28．A．cities B．companies C．communities D．countries 29．A．original B．unrealistic C．unimportant D．strange 30．A．invention B．convenience C．peace D．honesty 31．A．promised B．agreed C．learned D．dared 32．A．doors B．beds C．tables D．seats 33．A．copied B．written C．displayed D．taught 34．A．extremely B．barely C．likely D．slightly 35．A．regulations B．climates C．resources D．cultures四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

He doesn't seem like the kind of person who bakes great bread, but he does. Every Saturday he bakes silently by himself. When he's done, the whole house smells delicious. The rest of the week, he's a car mechanic. People tend to think of cars as metallic members of the family, and Dad seldom lets them down.I kind of understand Dad's baking routine. Though he's into the work, customers' expectation and understaffing weigh him down. When working on the dough(生面团) he returns to a life of ease.I had been feeling stressed out myself since I didn't qualify for the swimming team. I would have to wait a whole year, which was like a million years. I thought Dad had found that. He asked me how things were going last Saturday. I said OK. He looked at me for a moment, said it was time for me to help and headed to the kitchen.Surprised though, I followed him. Dad took out his mixing bowl, telling me to mix materials while he added them. He isn't big on measuring, knowing instinctively(凭直觉地) how much to use. The bread is always great. Then he showed me how to process the dough—repeatedly stretching, pounding and folding it. It took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy to finish. But what came next was harder and more surprising—doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl. It took an hour to rise. Then we pressed and stretched it, put it into pans and waited another hour for i t to double. “It's hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough,” Dad explained.When the dough rose at its own pace, time seemed to slow down. We could do nothing to speed that. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and started enjoying the time. My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more—appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise.4、What can we learn about the author's father?A. He is not talkative.B. He enjoys playing baseball.C. He is expert at his work.D. He doesn't like fixing cars.5、Why does the author's father make bread every Saturday?A. To get relaxed.B. To kill the time.C. To pursue his hobby.D. To learn a new skill.6、What is the most difficult part during baking bread according to the author?A. Measuring materials.B. Waiting for the dough to rise.C. Processing the dough.D. Controlling the temperature of the oven.7、What is a suitable title for the text?A. Secrets of bakingB. Influence of my fatherC. A bread lessonD. A surprising leisure timeYoung and old alike can be crazy about a new finding by researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Chicago. There is hope for us all when it comes to creativity, they say.According to the study, which focused on the 31 most notable Nobel Prize winners inlife. Conceptual innovators tend to do their best work in their mid-twenties, while experimental innovators peak in their fifties.They explain in the paper that there are conceptual thinkers, who seek to communicate specific ideas or emotions and have precise goals for their works, planning them carefully in advance, and carrying them out systematically. Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein both did their greatest work in youth. However, experimental innovators build on their knowledge and accept theories throughout their careers and ultimately find new and innovative ways to analyze that knowledge. These thinkers tend to do their best work later in life. The paper cites Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin as late bloomers.The study states, “Many scholars believe that creativity is only associated with youth. Two54-year-old Harvard scholars were denied offers of tenured professorships(终身教授) due to concerns of the so-called problem of “extinct volcanoes.”Their findings suggest that this kind of biased(有偏见的) thinking leads to bad decisions. It ignores the fact that there are different types of innovators and that different problems demand different kinds of contributions and solutions. They hope their work will gradually remove the world's favoritism for precocious geniuses(早熟的天才) and its ignorance of thecreativity that comes with age. Weinberg, the co-author of the study, said, “We believe what we found in this study isn't limited to economics, but could apply to creativity more generally.”8、Which of the following can replace the underlined “blossom”?A. Fully develop.B. Suddenly change.C. Gradually fade.D. Repeatedly appear.9、What determines a person's most creative period according to the study?A. Age or career.B. Education background.C. Type of thinking.D. Exposure to diverse ideas.10、What does the writer want to stress in the last paragraph?A. Creativity breeds success.B. Creativity knows no age limit.C. Solutions need diverse creativity.D. Favoritism for geniuses limits creativity.11、What's the writer's attitude to the new findings?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Critical.Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker?Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics.The state of flow happens under very specific conditions—when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed(超过) skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow.What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow, “W hen I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling tocope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”12、What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To offer a general background of the topic.B. To make an overall outline(概述) for the passage.C. To introduce the topic of the passage.D. To clarify(阐明) the definition(定义) of the topic.13、In which of the following experience can we enter the “flow state”?A. Adopting a dog.B. Watching TV.C. Playing the chess.D. Arguing with others.14、What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. The state of flow is little conditional.B. Geniuses at normal schools often get bored.C. Challenges at high levels push us to the limit.D. Skills play the most important part in flow.15、Why does the writer quote the philosopher's words?A. To show the disadvantages of flow.B. To stress the value of self-awareness.C. To stress the absence of emotions.D. To show the difficulty of enjoying flow.二、七选五16、Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing the build-up of pressure. Twist the cup off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and so da will shoot everywhere.①_______ Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma(岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force. When magma reaches the earth's surface, it's called lava(熔岩).Some volcanic eruptions are explosive. Lava shoots into the sky. Gas and hot pieces of rock and ash are also released. The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma's thickness. ②_______V olcanic eruptions can cause other natural disasters. These include landslides, mudslides,earthquakes and tsunamis. V olcanoes can be destructive. ③_______ The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.④_______ Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. V olcanoes also remove heat from the earth's interior(内部), which helps keep our planet cool.In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced. ⑤_______ Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth's surface to produce electricity.V olcanoes may be unpredictable. However, as we learn more about how they work, they will become even more important to life on the earth.A. However, they can also create new land.B. V olcanoes can become more dangerous.C. A volcanic eruption works much the same way.D. Scientists are using volcanoes to help power cities.E. The amount of gas trapped inside is also an important one.F. V olcanoes are threatening the life of people across the world.G. V olcanoes have played an important role in shaping the earth.三、完形填空（15空）I'm approaching the Knight Street Bridge in my car.

2022-2023学年江苏省泰州中学高一下学期期中考试英语试卷
江苏省泰州中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Valerie L. Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy’s First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn’t help her.She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA．In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley’s Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal. 1．What do we know about Thomas’ early life?A．She was talented in science.B．She liked working with her father.C．She lacked support for her interest.D．She preferred to read boys’ books.2．What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Did well in.B．Had confidence in.C．Was curious about.D．Was concerned with.3．What is the advantage of Thomas’ invention over flat mirrors?A．It takes pictures more clearly.B．It transmits images more quickly.C．It changes the position of the image.D．It can send images to the Earth from space.4．What does the last paragraph focus on?A．Thomas’ future plans.B．Thomas’ retirement life. C．Thomas’ research theory.D．Thomas’ lifetime achievements.A study of almost 2,700 children aged between seven and ten in 38 schools in Barceiona, Spain, first researches the impact of traffic noise on child cognitive (认知的) development over time.The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skill, which are essential to learning. The research found that children exposed to about three times more traffic in the street than other children had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution, and, for example, was already known to increase heart attacks in adults. The UN said that urban noise pollution was growing into a global public health threat, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone and affecting many cities.But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. “We do not know that noise can actually be toxic (有害的) from a physical point of view,” said Dr. Maria Foraster, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, who led the study. “We think that we adapt to it, but research has shown that we don’t completely—we still have a physiological (生理的) response.The research revealed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks, had more impact than a higher average level of noise. It also found higher noise levels at school were more damaging than at home.Prof. Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has implications for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”The research follows previous work that showed higher levels of aircraft noise at school affected reading comprehension and cognitive development. Next, the authors said, they would like to see their findings replicated (复制) in different cities and towns, where schools may bebuilt differently and windows opened more or less often.5．What can we learn from Maria Foraster’s words?A．We are troubled by nose.B．We lack confidence in her study.C．We try hard to adapt to noise.D．We aren’t fully aware of the harm of noise to humans.6．What is Iroise Dumontheil’s attitude towards the study?A．Curious.B．Favorable.C．Cautious D．Unsatisfied.7．What might the research team focus on next?A．Finding solutions to reducing noise.B．Helping students to realize the impact of noise.C．Confirming their findings in different areas.D．Studying the differences between various noises.8．What is the best title for the text?A．Policies on traffic noise should be improvedB．Traffic noise slows children’s memory developmentC．Traffic noise has a growing impact on people’s healthD．Attention should be paid to the environment around schoolsI’ve been giving lots of thought recently to the teaching of the science subject at schools. I’m wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science--the scientific method--is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.After all, science isn’t a collection of facts about the world. That’s just called“knowledge”. Rather, science is a process of thinking and making sense of the world, which will then lead to new knowledge. We’ve often heard it said that we should be teaching children not what to think but how to think. However, schools now spend so much of the science subject loading up children’s brains with “knowledge”.Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.Yet what seems to be missing today is an understanding of the way we gain this scientific understanding of the world. Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. But social media has only enlarged the societal problem that has been with us.On top of this, our attention spans (时长) are naturally getting shorter, and we don’t take the time to question our views, or ask whether the information we are getting is reliable. This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don’t like, and so on. This is exactly why we should be teaching more of scientific methods in schools. This remarkable way of seeing, thinking and knowing, is one of humankind’s great riches and the birthright of everyone. And, most wonderfully, it only grows in quality and value the more widely it is shared.9．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 1?A．Students’ disinterest in the science subject.B．The teaching content of the science subject.C．The teaching topics of the science subject.D．The lack of emphasis on science in schools.10．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The application of science in daily lives.B．The approach to knowing scientific facts.C．Some scientific phenomena in daily lives.D．The understanding of science in daily lives.11．What does the underlined part “the societal problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The popularity of social media.B．The spread of false information.C．The misunderstanding of science.D．The negative impact of social media.12．What can students get from learning scientific methods?A．Growing interest in science.B．Improved attention in class.C．The ability to think critically.D．The deeper understanding of science.二、七选五Everything we think about, all the emotions we feel, and even the way we act is a product of self-worth. Here are some ways to boost your self-worth.Make a list of your talents or skills. Everyone has something good to offer. Humans possess and can learn mind-blowing (令人兴奋的) abilities. What can you offer?____14____ List all of these. When you identify your abilities, you suppress (抑制) your weaknesses and give voice to your strengths.Pardon yourself. ____15____ Learn from all your past mistakes. If you keep feeling guilty or ashamed, you will never have a healthy sense of self-worth.Take risks. The only reason you haven’t done something great for yourself is that you are still wondering whether you should do it. Never be afraid to take risks to become a better version of yourself. ____16________17____ Healthy habits can be as (感染性的) as negative ones. Surround yourself with the change you wane. Be with people who have overcome the doubts they had about themselves and, like you, are also on a journey to recognizing self-worth.A．Try to become a healthy person.B．Stop doubting your abilities and just go.C．Surround yourself with healthy people.D．What are those cool things you do effortlessly?E．You have to forgive yourself for your shortcomings.F．Many people’s sense of self-worth is rooted in their achievements.G．It is an essential part of humans and controls how we see ourselves.三、完形填空I’d been staying at home all week suffering from a severe case of flu.

Here are some major reasons for such a decision.1.The health reasonMedical studies prove that a vegetarian diet is easier to digest, provides a wider range of nutrients(营养) and has fewer burdens on the body. Vegetarians are less influenced by all the major diseases, and thus live longer, healthier, more productive lives. They have fewer physical plaints, less frequent visits to the doctor, and smaller medical bills.In a word, they are in the most natural conditions of life.2. __________________Planet earth is suffering. In large measure, the great loss of species, destruction of ancient rainforests to create lands where animals can feed on grass, loss of top soils, and the increase of water impurities(杂质) and air pollution have a mon cause which is the single fact of meat in the human diet. No single decision that we can make as individuals or as a race can have such a dramatic effect on the improvement of our planetary ecology(生态) as the decision not to eat meat. Many seeking to save the planet for future generations have made this decision for this reason and this reason alone.3.The economic reasonThe simple fact is that to produce 1 kilogram of meat, it requires over 16 kilograms of grain and much more water. Millions of animals are bred for meat production. If they were not bred, the vegetation would be used to feed people. And more people in hunger would have their food.56. Vegetarians prefer to live on vegetables for the reasons EXCEPT that _______.A. vegetables are easier to digestB. they provide more kinds of nutrientsC. vegetables are cleaner than meatD. the body will have fewer burdens57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passageA. Vegetarians will spend no money on medical care.B. Vegetarians have more children in their life.C. Vegetarians are usually thinner.D. Vegetarians can save the planet for future generations.58. What might be the proper title for the second partA. The ecological reason.B. The pollutant reason.C. The plant reason.D. The generation reason.59. Which of the following might the writer agreeA. Fewer animals should be bred to produce more grain for people.B. Animals shouldn’t be raised.C. We should save animals.D. Living on vegetables can solve the problem of hunger.60. If people live on vegetables, which of the following may NOT be affected by itA. Species of animals.B. Air quality.C. People’s health.D. Grain quality( B )Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placedan order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”61. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.62. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.B. he cut down the price by halfC. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.63. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.64. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. His business skills and his wealth.B. The low price of the goods he sold.C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.D. His natural skill for showing things.65. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that_______________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shopassistant, the customers are always right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they wantto make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if theywant to be successful.( C )About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow.A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.66. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effects.B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness67. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow68. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by womenA. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.69. Which of the statements about the color- blind is trueA. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.70. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.A. red lightB. yellow lightC. blue lightD. green light( D )Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street ers. And just talk.Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point“ To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.”Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.“ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “ To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision. 71. What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on September 11, 2001A. Telling stories to strangers.B. Setting up street signs.C. Talking with peopleD. Organizing a speaker’s party.72. What they have been doing can be described as ____________.A. pointless (无意义的)B. normal（正常的）C. crazyD. successful73. Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the textA. They knew Liz and Bill very well.B. They happened to meet the writer of the text.C. They organized the get-together in the city park.D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.74.

She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come up to say, ‘Madam, this is your lucky day. everything in your basket today is free.’One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy some tea. She rushed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to the desk to pay for it.

He was working in a factory in a town with a small population. He liked his job, the small town, and even the boss Mr Johnson. But his wife kept telling him that she could hardly support the family with such a low salary. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Chicago, the nearest big city, which was about 50 miles away. He had been offered the job in a factory there and both pay and working conditions were far better. However, if he took the job, he would probably have to move his whole family there, and he didn’t like the idea of living in such a noisy big pla ce.Mr Johnson, the manager of the factory where Tom worked, was in deep trouble now. His small factory produced electric motors. But the Japanese were selling such machines at very low prices in the world market. As a result, Mr Johnson had to cut his own prices. Otherwise, he would not get any orders at all. There was very little money in his hand, and none for rises for his men. He was just feeling sad in his office when the telephone rang.The office boy told him that Tom wanted to see him about something important as soon as possible. Mr Johnson could guess what it was. Tom was a good young engineer. The factory would have no future unless it could keep men like him. Mr Johnson rubbed his hands. His problems seemed endless. Times were hard.1.
