In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing.

2022年-有答案安徽省合肥市某校高一(上)期中英语试卷
2022学年安徽省合肥市某校高一（上）期中英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
1. Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits - including making your brain sharper. Yes, it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive （认知的） functions such as memory and attention. There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning, possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance. Losing weight, therefore, may help improve these mental functions, according to a new research led by John Gunstad, assistant professor of psychology （心理学） at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits （缺陷）. So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function. For their study, they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants, some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not. All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study, and again 12 weeks later. To begin with, about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23%showed signs of poor memory when tested. At the end of the study, those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions. Scores for the volunteers who didn't lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function. Now that he's seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention, he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way - eating healthier and getting more active. He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain. "If we can improve the condition with operations, then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,'' he says.（1）The result of Gunstad's study shows that________.A.losing weight has little effect on people's memoryB.losing weight can improve people's mental functionsC.overweight people are likely to have psychology problemsD.overweight people's abilities of concentration differ greatly．（2）What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research？________A.Slim people are smarter than overweight people.B.Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.C.Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D.Overweight people will get smarter by the traditional way.．（3）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A.Body Weight and HealthB.Losing Weight by OperationC.Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD.Losing Weight to Sharpen Your Mind．2. Each Indian（印第安人）was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one for himself.But his playmates（游戏伙伴）would always give him a name of their own.No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen.Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy.But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off.If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy.His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle.When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief.If he had done well, he would get a good name.Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse.So an Indian's name told his record or described the kind of man he was.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however.If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name.Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names-all good and each better than the last.An Indian's names belonged to him for the rest of his life.No one else could usethem.Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family.So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed.I know of only three of four times when this happened.It is the rarest honor for a person-the honor of assuming（承担） his father's name.（1）An Indian could be given the second name by________.A.his fatherB.the enemyC.the chief of the tribeD.his childhood friends．（2）The greatest honor an Indian could earn was________.A.a victory in his first battle against the enemyB.a name given by the chiefC.a ceremony to get his real nameD.the right to use his father's name．（3）If an Indian had more than ten names, it meant that________.A.many people in the tribe liked himB.he was a great fighterC.he had a lot of friendsD.he had fought in fewer than ten battles．（4）Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage？________A.The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasantB.The life name of an Indian was earned in battleC.An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one for himself.D.The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.．3. An American cancer survivor ha become he first person to swim across the English Channel four times on end.Sarah Thomas, 37, completed the great achievement on Tuesday after over 54 hours of swimming. Her record-breaking achievement came just a year after she completed treatment for breast cancer （乳腺癌）.In a video on Facebook, a small group of people could be seen cheering on the swimmer from Colorado as she made her final arrival to beach at Dover. Supporters congratulated Mrs. Thomas on her non-stop swim, handing her chocolate and other gifts. In thevideo, Mrs. Thomas admitted to feeling "a little sick" but said she had been encouraged to keep going by her husband and her team.Before the start of her challenge, Mrs. Thomas wrote that she was "fearful" and admitted she was "going to need some luck".In a Facebook post made on Saturday, she dedicated （奉献） the swim "to all the survivors out there", adding, "This is for those of us who have wondered hopelessly about what comes next, and have overcome the pain bravely."After her swim, Mrs. Thomas said, "I'm really tired and I'm losing my voice from all the salt water." Asked what the worst part of her challenge was, she said, "Probably dealing with the salt water over two days. It really hurts your throat, your mouth and your tongue." She praised her support team for helping her stay strong, adding that she was very prepared for the weather, currents（k it）and cold water. "I feel just mostly stunned right now. I just can't believe that we did it."（1）What's the attitude of Mrs. Thomas's husband to her swimming challenge？________A.He refuses to support her.B.He never cares about it at all.C.He is angry about her decision.D.He encourages her to keep trying.．（2）What was the biggest challenge for Mrs. Thomas？________A.The weather.B.The currents.C.The salt water.D.The cold water.．（3）What does the underlined word "stunned" in the last paragraph probably mean？________A.Frightened.B.Surprised.C.Upset.D.Powerful.．（4）What's the best title for the text？________A.A Successful SwimmerB.A Woman Beat Breast CancerC.A Record-breaking AchievementD.A Cancer Survivor Made a New Record．4. A primary school art teacher has received a good deal of praise since her daughter posted photos of her special school project online.Rebecca Bonner teaches at Mcauliffe Elementary School in Highland Village, Texas. In total, she hosts art classes for about 580 students who are aged from 3 to 11 years old. Bonner always tries to encourage her students to be creative by telling them to ''turn their mess-up into a dress-up''. So as a way of giving an example of her words, she invited all of her students to draw freely on a white dress that she brought to school. For two weeks, the young students used their pens to add their own little designs （设计） to the dress. The art teacher then showed their work by proudly wearing the dress for a school art show.Her students were not the only ones happy to see their art come to life-Bonner's 20-year-old daughter Charlece Lake was so moved by her mother's project. Charlece took some photos of Bonner wearing the dress and posted them to Twitter, saying that her mom was ''the cutest art teacher ever''. Since posting the pictures, they have been shared thousands of times. Though Bonner was surprised that her project had been widely known, she said that she was happy for the chance to serve as a good role model for art. ''I'm not worried about being famous of anything like that but I do think it's great to promote（推广） the arts, because art is not common among primary schools, '' Bonner said. ''I think it's really important for kids to have that place to create, and that freedom（自由） to create, '' she added.（1）What did Rebecca Bonner ask her students to do？________A.Wear beautiful clothes for an art show.B.Draw whatever they like on a dress.C.Bring white dresses to school.D.Design their own clothes.．（2）Why did Charlece Lake post photos of her mother online？________A.She wanted to promote the arts.B.She wanted her mother to be famous.C.She was proud of what her mother had done.D.She wanted to win her mother more support.．（3）What may be Rebecca Bonner's best wish？________A.Allowing students to create their own art works.B.Helping more students go to primary school.C.Becoming a good role model for art.D.Promoting the arts in primary schools.．（4）What's the main idea of the text？________A.A teacher's photo became famous online.B.A teacher attended her school's art show.C.Mcauliffe Elementary School's school project.D.Students like designing dresses for their teachers.．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

1。 What will Peter do later？
There’s a chance that you've never even heard of American Indians. That’s because there aren’t very many left。 When the European settlement of North America began， there were fierce conflicts between the settlers from overseas and these native peoples。 After the British government and military were expelled （赶走) in the Revolutionary War， conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US. In these conflicts, millions of natives were killed。
Back in the year 1500， the average American was a brown—skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, these people－who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois， Apache and Navajo－are broadly referred to as “Native Americans"， “American Indians” or simply “Indians”。

安徽省合肥三中2020-2021学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题
安徽省合肥三中2020-2021学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Diana Ross, American pop singer and actress, achieved international popularity, first as the leader singer of the Supremes and later as a solo(独唱的) artist. Diana Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the second of six children of Fred and Ernestine Ross, who lived in one of Detroit’s poor districts. Because her family were closely connected with each other,Ross almost didn't notice the difficult life as she grew up.Ross professional career began in 1959, when she joined several neighborhood friends to form the Primettes. The group was renamed the Supremes after signing a recording contract (合同) with Motown late the following year. The group produced many number-one hit singles (热门单曲) on the US Billboard hot 100, including Baby Love, Stop! In The Name of Love and Someday We Will Be Together. In 1967, the group was renamed Diana Ross and the Supremes, foreshadowing（预示）Ross’solo career,which she started in 1970.Beginning with Ain’t No Mountain High Enough from her first solo album, Ross enjoyed more than ten years of great success with her hit singles. Ross also developed a film-acting career in the 1970s, beginning with a starring role as blues singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and continuing with Mahogany, for which she also recorded the theme song Do You Know Where You’re Going To.However, in the mid-1980s, Ross saw her career begin to wane. Most of her albums were re-recordings of earlier material. In 2006, she produced I Love Y ou, a collection of love songs by many artists, and she started an energetic concert tour the following year to make the album publicly known. Although you can’t find her songs on the US Bi llboard Hot 100 now, Ross remains popular as one of the leading musical performers of all time.1．According to the passage, the Supremes ____.A．had to break up in 1967B．used to be named the PrimettesC．was made up of Ross and her classmatesD．signed a contract with Motown in 19592．Which of the following songs is included in Ross’s first solo album?A．Baby love.B．Stop! In the name of love.C．Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.D．Someday We’ll Be Together.3．What can we learn about Do You Know Where You’re Go ing To?A．It was the theme song of Mahogany.B．It was one of Ross’No.1 hit singles.C．It was sung by a blues singer.D．It was from Ross’first film.4．What does the underlined word “wane” in the last paragraph probably mean？A．Develop faster.B．End quickly.C．Start again.D．Become weaker.There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident.After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man.He had gained a lot of experience while travelling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident.He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way.Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult.An idea occurred to him.“Why not write to other people who need encouragement? ”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters.He began sending one-way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement.He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit.He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.5．In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ．A．receive the school educationB．write to other people who need encouragementC．meet the people who are depressedD．help other people with lost arm and legs6．From the officer's short note we are told that ．A．the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB．some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC．the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the manD．his letters were very popular among the prisoners7．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Stories about a Humorous PersonB．Popularity of Special LettersC．Special Letters of EncouragementD．Relationship between writers and prisoners.When I was in the eighth grade, one caring teacher of mine taught me several useful little techniques. He told me to keep a notebook nearby when I was reading and that I should try to figure out what the main idea of every paragraph was so that I could understand the passages better. It seemed awfully boring at that time, but I decided to give it a try anyway.It didn’t take long before I started reading a book called How to Read a Book that would completely change how I thought about the written word. Thanks to these techniques, I learned to get the most out of reading. I kept applying them over the years until I finally came up with a lot of little techniques for reading a book.I also eventually came to learn that there were a lot of different kinds of reading. For example, when I read a Stephen King novel, the interesting plot made me completely relaxed. Then there’s reading to learn new things, which is what I do when I read personal finance books.There’s also reading to understand and grow, which is easily the hardest and the most rewarding. The last kind of reading involves taking a piece of literature or a nonfiction book that you might read for simple pleasure and transforming it into something life-changing, or something that causes you to question some of your deeply-held ideas and beliefs.How to Read a Book really focuses on the latter two: books that you read to learn about a new topic or to learn a skill, and books that you read to learn about yourself. If you’ve ever been drawn to read to really improve yourself, this book is well worth the time to read even if it’s a bit dry at time s. Let’s dig in.8．The writer’s teacher gave him some reading techniques so that __________.A．he could become interested in readingB．he could increase his reading speedC．he could learn more from what he readD．he could remember all the books he read9．The writer said that he read a Stephen King novel for _________.A．fun and pleasure B．personal developmentC．learning new things D．changing his former beliefs10．The writer wrote the passage to _________.A．encourage readers to improve themselves by wide readingB．thank the teacher who once helped him improve his readingC．give an introduction to a very practical finance bookD．advise people to read a personal development book二、七选五Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often：ability, money, and time. 11．Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 12．2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it andsave yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 13．It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 14．This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 15．And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A．Try new things.B．Ability is easily improved.C．Make three or four instead.D．Understand your food better.E.Cooking is a burden for many people.F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.三、完形填空With supper finished, it was our time with Dad. Cindy, Tom and I climbed onto our couch. We all 16 Mom to turn on the old tape player.Dad had been piloting airplanes in Vietnam for the Air Force for a year. Through the year, our family received at least one 17 a week from Dad. Mom played a part to us every day.

While most people were warming up their cars， Trevor， my husband， had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival， he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor， he returned to find his bike gone.The bike， a black Kona 18 speed， was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work， putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries （食品杂货）， saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that， several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike， then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another， but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity （人性） as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we， too， can share with others. No matter how big or how small， an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.50. Why was the bike so important to the couple？A. They used it for work and daily life.B. It was their only possession （财产）。

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.

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。

2020年合肥市第一中学高三英语上学期期中考试试题及答案解析
2020年合肥市第一中学高三英语上学期期中考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AYou have to praise the smoothness（顺畅）of ants on the move. No matter how many of them are going toward a place, there's never a hold-up. A new research paper shows how ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions.For their experiments, researchers from the University of Toulouse focused on Argentine ants, animals that often move from colony（群落）to colony depending on where the food is. Making use of Argentine ants' talent for fast travel, the researchers built bridges connecting their colonies. The bridges were different in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch. The colonies, too, were of different sizes, ranging from 400 to more than 25,000 ants.Then the researchers sat back andmonitoredthe traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were full of ants, there were no "traffic accidents". "When the number of ants on the bridge increased, ants seemed to be able to understand the situation and adjusted（调整）their speed accordingly to avoid making the traffic flow stop. "the authors note. "Moreover, ants avoided entering a busy road and made sure that the bridge was never too packed to cross.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem may lie in our inability to adjust our driving habits for the good of the whole. Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road. Then the traffic moves very slowly. And yet, some impatient driver still acts like he's alone on the road.The research suggests that projects, like the ever-widening of highways, may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own habits, no matter how many other people are on the road, we'll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may actually be a good thing. It leaves less room for individual choice and forces us to take a page from the driving book of ants.1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The results of the experiments.B. The purpose of the experimentsC. The preparation of the experiments.D. The requirements of the experiments2. What does the underlined word "monitor" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. watch and check.B. seek and improveC. design and planD. discuss and practise3. What is the best title for the text?A. Is widening highways a solution?B. Why don't ants need traffic lights?C. Can we learn safe driving from ants?D. What can ants teach us about traffic jams?BThose who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.4. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?A. Its robot employees.B. Its advanced equipment.C. Its convenient location.D. Its successful management.5. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?A. To entertain readers.B. To prove Churi’s drawback.C. To introduce Churi’s functions.D. To persuade people not to book the hotel.6. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?A. Attractive.B. Costly.C. Pioneering.D. Disappointing.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Are Taking Over the World.B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.CSurfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率),” he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software toblocktheir employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.8. What does the University of Melbourne study mainlyshow?A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.D. Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?A. Watching videos.B. Reading online news.C. Reading online novels.D. Playing online games.10. The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.A. stopB. organizeC. protectD. separate11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.B. Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.C. Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.D. People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.DMany of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy League universities. To our surprise, he wasn't excited as expected, but appeared extra calm. He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine. He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.Kwasi's success story is rare, but his reaction is not. After the admission letters arrive at home, students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person, which school would best prepare them for the future, and at which school they would be happiest. And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university? Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings. But besides those advantages, many of these universities focus on graduate work and research, with undergraduates taught mostly by part-time instructors. Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussion-based classes. But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a high-energy city life experience.Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job. This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide.A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty andthrivein society. It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years. So whenyou choose college, you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.12. What can we know about Kwasi Enin from paragraph 1?A. He was from a very poor family.B. He would choose the top university.C. He was too excited to calm himself at the good news.D. He considered his interests when choosing his university.13. What can you infer from paragraph 2?A. Few students can be admitted to university.B. Many students face the choices like Kwasi.C. Top universities are the first choice for most students.D. American students can afford their university by themselves.14. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4?A. FailB. SucceedC. ResearchD. Work15. What should the best university be like according to the text?A. Very large and have good instructors.B. Small boarding schools with discussion-based classes.C. It will offerthe diploma to get the most highly paid job.D. It will help continue to develop far beyond university years.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
