AWe’ve tested hundreds of mom-approved products that happen to make perfect Mother’s Day gifts. Here are our recommendations.BabbelIf your mom has always wanted to learn a new language, give her the gift of gab with Babbel. Each online course will be personalized by her interests and molded into bite-sized lessons so she can easily learn at her own pace. It’s a great budget-friendly option for diving into a new language. We tested it and found it to be a fun and effective language learning tool.Thermo Works Thermapen Mk4When it comes to the best digital meat thermometers, it doesn’t get better than Thermo Works. We highly recommend the Thermapen ONE, which was the fastest and most accurate thermometer we tested and would have been our top pick if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s waterproof, precise and fast-acting.A Bouqs SubscriptionFresh flowers at Mom’s doorstep will always be appreciated, especially on Mother’s Day. This year, instead of just one bouquet, gift her a subscription (订购）to Bouqs. You can change the frequency of the delivery along with the type of blooms she receives — roses one month, sunflowers the next. She may adorably text you a picture of her bouquet every month it arrives and remind you to maintain the subscription. Go ahead and switch it up to keep Mom on her toes.A Personalized Collage (拼贴画)There are few gifts better than personalized ones, especially when it comes to the mom who pretty much already has everything. With services like Minted, you can upload your own photos for a collage and watch your beautiful creation come to life. Customize the frame and color theme to best match mom’s style and watch her fall in love with her new heartfelt gift.1. What might discourage people from choosing the Thermapen ONE?A. Price.B. Function.C. Accuracy.D. Appearance.2. What do we know about A Bouqs Subscription?A. It can be canceled at random.B. It texts to remind renewing.C. It restricts to monthly deliveries.D. It offers wide choices of flowers.3. In which column of a website is the text probably taken from ?A. Life.B. Wellness.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.6. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.CFrom crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees, Canada’s nature is admired around the world. Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered. An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health — both mental and physical — by taking a stroll (散步) in nature.The prescriptions are provided by PaRX, in partnership with Parks Canada. The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves. PaRX, a health initiative (倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia Parks Foundation, notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives, increased energy, reduced stress and anxiety, improved heart health, less pain and better mood. Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits. The organization also hopes that the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba. Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with nature,” Steven Guilbeault, the environment minister, said. “I am confident this programme will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand throughout the country.”Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a treatment for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, immune function and insomnia (失眠). Previously, though, they would write more general prescriptions, such as spending time in nature twice a week, for at least 20 minutes at a time. This is the first time that they have been able to equip their patients with tickets.8. Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A. To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.B. To advertise Canada’s natural scenery.C. To introduce a health initiative program.D. To demonstrate health benefits of nature.9. What makes the prescriptions significant?A. A boom in park visiting.B. A rise in economy.C. Investment in conservation.D. Improvement in health.10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Patients doubt the general prescriptions.B. The previous “nature therapy” is popular.C. It is a tradition to offer patients park tickets.D. “Nature therapy” is no longer just on paper.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Nature Heals Mental DiseasesB. Canada Possesses Admirable NatureC. Doctors Order A Walk in The WildernessD. Canadian Doctors Have Free Access to ParksDFeeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities ( like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.12.What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Magic solution.B. Physical power.C.Psychological test.D. Relaxed atmosphere.13.How did the researchers carry out the new study?A.By doing large-scale online surveys.B.By giving interviews and mental tests.C.By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D.By conducting experiments and analyzing data.14.What is a distinct finding of the new research?A.Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B.Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C.Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D.How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.15.What is the focus of the last paragraph?A.The importance of burning stress.B.Easy and fun activities to kill time.C.Further explanation of being productive.D.The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

D．$38.00.I can hear the sound of insects and feel autumn is nearing. This means my year of study at Nara University of Education is coming to an end.The time I've spent here has flown by so quickly. It seems as if I came here a month ago，but in reality I have to go home soon. When I came here，I missed my family and friends back home and found it hard to overcome loneliness，but on the other hand，I was interested in the new environment and had a lot of fun.I had visited Japan three times before coming to study at this university，but when I started living in Japan，many days were filled with a mixture of anxiety and excitement. I sometimes made silly mistakes，but I thought this was the best way to learn about Japanese culture. I was not the only one that was not accustomed to the different customs of Japanese people.My plan before coming to Japan was to make friends with some Japanese students in universities. However，I found my best friends were those who came from other countries. I didn't know much about other countries but I came to be more interested in them through making friends from different places，which made me aware of many different and sometimes hard-to-understand customs. Furthermore，I was surprised to see myself thinking more about my own culture and realized I should come to know it better.I am really happy that I came to Nara. During my stay，I felt the closer connection between humans and nature here than in Europe.4．What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．The author felt puzzled all the time.B．The author is adjusted to the life.C．Many foreigners live in the city of Nara.D．Many students like the author felt anxious.5．What does the underlined w ord “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Different countries.B．Different cultures.C．Many different places.D．Foreign students.6．What do we know about the Japanese according to the text?A．They value their lives much more.B．They are difficult to get along with.C．They are mindful of protecting the environment.D．Many Europeans love to make friends with them.7．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To look back on his study.B．To call on readers to visit Nara.C．To show the beauty of Japanese culture.D．To share his experience of studying abroad.Companion planting is the idea that some kinds of plants can help each other grow. Plants that are compatible（兼容的，能共处的）together generally have similar needs in terms of nutrients，soil and moisture levels.Advice about which plants are compatible is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But experts say there is evidence to support certain combinations. These can improve harvests，reduce disease and help with pest control by attracting helpful insects.For example，some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen from the air and make it into a form that plants can use. The plants hold the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆科植物)are especially good at this nitrogen(氮)fixing. Then any crops that share the same space with the legumes can get the nitrogen when the roots are broken down.Beans and potatoes can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down in the soil，sothey do not complete with plants with shallower roots.But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example，tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does，so you would probably want to keep them separated.Some kinds of produce should be kept apart even after being harvested. This is because of ethylene gas(乙烯气体)．Ethylene is a plant hormone(激素)that can cause some foods to ripen too quickly. Apples release ethylene gas. Apricots，melons and tomatoes also release a lot of ethylene. Some vegetables are easily affected by ethylene，including asparagus，broccoli，cabbage and cucumbers.This risk of ripening too soon is why markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana，the ethylene from the apple will make the banana ready to eat sooner.What about peaches，plums and nectarines? These kinds of fruit do not need any help from an apple—they release enough ethylene to ripen themselves. But that does not mean there is no way to get the job done faster.Growers suggest placing the fruit in a fruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature，out of direct sunlight. Once the fruit is soft enough，either use it or put it in the refrigerator to keep it from getting too ripe.8．Companion planting refers to the idea that ．A．some crops can grow together to benefit each otherB．some crops have the similar needs of nutrients，soil and water levelC．some plants can damage each other if grown togetherD．a good farming method to prevent natural disasters9．According to the text，cannot grow together.A．beans and potatoes B．tomatoes and watercress C．legumes and corns D．rice and sugarcane10．What is the function of ethylene?A．To improve the quality of fruits. B．To produce a poisonous gas.C．To keep vegetables fresh. D．To make fruits ripe earlier.11．The text is most likely to be taken from ．A．a newspaper of medicine B．a magazine of biologyC．a journal of agriculture D．a travel reportA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋), may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all. The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr.Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.12．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.B．Puppy love may bring young people depression.C．Parents should forbid their children’s love.D．Romance is good for young people.13．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A．Careless parents whose children are deep in love.B．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.C．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.D．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.14．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C．The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.D．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.15．What’s the author’s attitude towards p uppy love?A．Confused B．NeutralC．Scared D．Disapproving二、七选五Nowadays，there is a trend that more and more people spend their holidays in foreign countries.16．So read our travel tips that are simple and practical，and you can always enjoy your travels.On a business card，write down the emergency contact's information and place it in your wallet.17．Give your emergency contact a copy of your travel plan，a passport data page，and the visa information. Give each piece of your luggage a unique look：tie a bright handkerchief to a handle or purchase a colored luggage tag.18．If you don't speak the local language，carry a matchbox，or a brochure with the name and address of your destination.19．To avoid being a target of crime，don't wear eye catching clothing：dress conservatively (保守地)，and don't wear or carry obvious signs of wealth (gold watches，expensive jewelry and etc.) and don't carry more cash than necessary.20．To make sure of a safe journey and avoid some unnecessary trouble when traveling in foreign countries，you could never be too careful.A．Also，don't accept packages from strangers.B．Once your wallet is stolen，you can let them know.C．Good preparations can always help you out as well.D．You can show it to taxi drivers when asking for directions.E.It will be easier for you to keep track of your bag from a distance.F.Of course everyone wants his travels to be trouble-free and enjoyable.G.Include the name of anyone who should be contacted in an emergency.三、完形填空Each week，I give my elderly neighbor a ride to the store when I am going.

2022-2023学年辽宁省葫芦岛市联合体高二下学期第二次考试英语试题
2022-2023学年辽宁省葫芦岛市联合体高二下学期第二次考试英语试题1. Four Inventions from WomenThough it wasn’t always easy to get patents or the credit, women are responsible for many items we use today. Below are some of them.A Solar HouseIn 1947, Mária Telkes, together with Eleanor Raymond, invented the world’s first modern residence heated with solar energy. The house was called Dover Sun House, built in Dover, Massachusetts, in 1948. She also invented other devices capable of storing energy captured from sunlight, and her remarkable achievements made a difference to current solar industry.A Computer TermGrace Hopper programmed for the earliest computer machines. Interestingly, Hopper’s first major inventi on in the field of software design was the creation of a famous computer term, “bug”. In 1947, she found a small moth in the Mark II computer, and it was this little bug that was “jamming(卡住)” the machine, Hopper jokingly referred to “failing to work” as a“bug”, a strange term that has since developed into a computer industry term.Dish Washing MachineAlong with another engineer, Josephine Cochrane invented the first hand-powered dish-washer. Patented in 1886, the first dish washing machine combined high water pressure, a wheel, a boiler, and a wire framework like the ones still used for dish drying. As its inventor, Josephine Cochrane never used dishwasher herself, but it made others’ life easier.Home Security SystemYou might be surprised to discover that the first home security system was actually invented by Marie Van Brittan Brown in 1966. Alongside her husband, she created a system containing a sliding camera, a two-way microphone, TV monitors. There was also an emergency button with which the police could be contacted in case of emergencies, and a remote control used to unlock doors.1. Which of the following was created by a woman alone?A．The solar house. B．The computer term.C．The home security system. D．The dish washing machine.2. What powered Josephine Cochrane’s dish washing machine?A．Solar energy. B．Electricity.C．Air pressure. D．Manpower.3. How can we call the police when using the first home security system?A．By turning to a remote control.B．By using a new two-way microphone.C．By pressing on the emergency button.D．By calling for help into sliding camera.2. Marathon is one of the most difficult races in track and field, at a little over 42 kilometers. To be a world-class marathoner, you must run that distance in two and a half hours. But for some, completing a marathon race is a lifelong dream.Jacqueline’s dream of being a world-class runner began when she was a child in Kenya. She soon realized she had the talent and the willpower to compete. She also knew she would have to train full-time, which meant not being able to work to help support her family. But she was confident that she could bring home prize money.Jacqueline traveled to China to compete in the Zheng-Kai marathon knowing she had a good shot at winning the race, but more importantly, the $10,000 prize that went with it. She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect(缺陷)had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race, and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.1. What can we know about Jacqueline from paragraph 2?A．She was born with little sports talent.B．Her goal was to win a championship.C．Her family opposed her going for a run.D．She had to train full-time to achieve her dream.2. Why did the male runner struggle to drink from a plastic bottle?A．He was disabled.B．He didn’t like bottled water.C．He was running forward in a hurry.D．He competed with other runners for water.3. What happened after Jacqueline helped the male runner?A．She won second place at last.B．She was criticised by her family.C．She was disqualified for going against rules.D．She fell behind several runners and gave up.4. What is the attitude of Jacqueline’s family towards her deed?A．Cautious. B．Approval. C．Critieal. D．Disappointed. 3. The ocean is critical to all oxygen-dependent life. But life is also critical to the ocean. The ocean produces so much oxygen because of ocean plants, which draw down Co and change it into carbon-based sugars and oxygen. Ocean plants are climate change heroes! There is now a wide recognition of the role of ocean life in slowing climate change.On many Pacific islands, whales support tourism economies. While concerned about the impacts of climate change on whales, we also need to recognize that whales can contribute to fighting climate change!Through their deep dives, vast migrations, long lifespan(寿命), and large bodies, whales have an enormous effect on the ocean.Whales both help ocean plants to draw down CO and help to store carbon in the ocean. Firstly, they provide essential nutrients that enable ocean plants to grow. Whale waste is a fertilizer, bringing nutrients from the depths, where whales feed, to the surface, where plants need these nutrients to grow well. Migratory whales also bring nutrients with them from highly-productive feeding grounds to the nutrient-poor waters of whales’ breeding grounds, boosting the growth of ocean plants across the ocean.Secondly, whales keep the carbon locked in the ocean, out of the atmosphere, where it could otherwise contribute to climate change. Ocean plants produce carbon-based sugars, but with a very short lifespan. They can’t store the carbon. When they die, much carbon is released in surface waters, and can be changed back to CO2. Whales, however, can live for over a century, feeding on food chains that begin with the sugars in these tiny plants, and storing up the carbon in their bodies. When whales die, deep ocean life feeds on their remains, and the carbon formerly stored in whales’ bodies can enter sediment(沉淀物), When carbon reaches deep ocean sediment, it is effectively locked away, and therefore unable to drive climate change. This carbon is unlikely to return as CO2 in the atmosphere.Several Pacific island countries are already leaders in whale conservation, having declared whale sanctuaries in their waters. Every year, whales socialize, breed, and give birth in Pacific island waters.1. How do surface ocean plants get nutrients for growth?A．From whale waste. B．From the whales’ bodies.C．From the sunlight. D．From ocean sediment.2. Why are ocean plants unable to store the carbon?A．They lack nutrients for growth.B．They never absorb carbon-based sugars.C．Carbon-based sugars can’t be generated by them.D．The carbon in them is released after their death.3. What does the underlined word “sanctuaries” in the last paragraph mean?A．Shelters. B．Imports. C．Markets. D．Amusements. 4. What is the text mainly about?A．The importance of oceans to climate.B．The bad effects of CO 2 to climate changes.C．The role of whales in slowing climate change.D．The importance of oceans to all oxygen-dependent life.4. New York has become the most recent state to ban the sale of some animals in pet stores. A new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul bans the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in retail shops. The new law encourages pet stores to work with animal rescue groups and shelters to make space for rescued animals that are available for adoption.California was the first state to pass a retail ban in 2017. Maryland followed in 2018 and a statewide ban in Illinois went into effect in February. Maine and Washington passed laws that ban the sales in new pet stores. Now, more than 300 cities and counties throughout the United States have passed pet-sale bans. There are at least 10,000 commercial pet stores in the country, and fewer than 3,000 of them are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to the estimates from the Humane Society of the United States.In these commercial pet stores, animals are usually kept in dirty, crowded cages with limited access to medical care and human interaction. They often don’t get enough to eat or drink, have little protection from cold or heat; and don’t have a separate place to go to the bathroom. Many animals raised in the commercial pet stores go on to have physical and emotional problems.Although conditions are often horrible, commercial pet stores are usually legal unless authorities are called in to close those with extremely inhumane(不人道的)conditions. “Dogs, cats, and rabbits across New York deserve loving homes and humane treatment,” Governor Hochul said in a statement. “I’m proud to sign this law, which will make meaningful steps to cut down on bad treatment and protect the welfare of animals across the state.” However, some pet store owners have argued that the law will cause a large quantity of pet stores in New York to close.1. What is the new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul about?A．Avoiding abusing pets.B．Preventing adopting pets.C．Forbidding distributing pets.D．Forbidding trading certain pets in pet stores.2. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?A．The operation mode of commercial pet stores.B．The problems faced by commercial pet stores.C．The poor living conditions of the pets in pet stores.D．The physical and emotional problems of some animals.3. What can we learn about the law from the last paragraph?A．It is well received.B．It is highly profitable.C．It takes ages to see the results.D．It may also have its shortcoming.4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．New York state offers medical care to animalsB．New York state bans pet stores from selling some animalsC．New York state assists pet store owners with lawsD．New York state ignores the horrible conditions of pets5. Have you ever wondered what your pet is thinking or feeling and what he is trying to tell you? If you answer “yes”, ways below may help to strengthen your bond and relat ionship with him.1 Animals will use many parts of their bodies to convey various feelings. Being observant to how your pet uses his body can let you know if he’s feeling playful, sick, or maybe even angry. For example, Your dog may narrow his eyes and stare at you to indicate that he is feeling aggressive.Identify your pet’s vocalizations(发声). 2 Learning how to distinguish these sounds will help you determine how your pet is feeling. He will vocalize for several reasons, including acknowledging his presence and expressing anxiety. 3Talk with your pet. Your pet may not exactly understand the words that you are saying. 4 For example, if you speak with him in a strict voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior. Talking with your pet can also help soothe(抚慰)him if he is feeling anxious or fearful.Punish your pet properly. Verbally and physically punishments help correct his misbehaving. Punishment can make your pet fearful of you and possibly increase the trust and respect that he has for you. 5 Don’t avoid punishing your pet.6. A week before Halloween, my babysitter called and canceled. So I had to drive to my medical appointment with my daughters on my own. I knew that emergencies do ________, and I told my babysitter that I completely ________ her. But what was actually going through my mind were feelings of ________ and self-pity.When we sat in a crowded waiting room of the hospital, it was pretty peaceful until my youngest daughter walked up to a complete ________ and said, “Tweet.” This was how she said “Trick or Treat”, having been ________ previously from her elder sisters.

2022-2023学年广东省陆丰市东海新龙中学高二下学期月考二英语试题
2022-2023学年广东省陆丰市东海新龙中学高二下学期月考二英语试题1. Albert Einstein laid the foundation for modern physics, but he may not be the man your kids should try hard to be. That man would be the productive Thomas Alva Edison — he of the “inspiration is perspiration (汗水)” school of thought. Researchers came to that conclusion after doing a series of studies with college students. They found students were more inspired by the hard-working Edison typ e than Einstein’s “genius is my birthright” model.“There’s a misleading message out there that says you have to be a genius in order to be a scientist,” study co-author Danfei Hu explains. “This just isn’t true and may be a big factor in discouraging people from working on science. Struggling is a normal part of doing science and talent is not the only prerequisite (先决条件) for succeeding in science. It’s important we help spread this messagein science education.” The researchers hope that more Edison appre ciation will draw more people to the sciences — especially at a time when increasing numbers of students are dropping out of those careers.To help turn that tide (趋势), Hu and Janet N. Ahn of William Paterson University did another study. For this study, participants read the same story — about the difficulty faced by a scientist over the course of a career. Half the students were told the story’s main character was Einstein; the other half were told it was Edison. It may have been the same story, but knowing it involved Einstein caused students to think that he overpowered his struggles using his smart brain. But when Edison was the hero of the story, students believed that he outworked his problems. Indeed, the latter students were more motivated to complete a series of problems.“This information can help shape the language we use in textbooks and in public regarding what it takes to succeed in science,” Hu explains. “Young people are always trying to find inspiration from the people around them. If we can send the message that struggling for success is normal, that could be beneficial.”1. Why does the author mention Albert Einstein in Paragraph 1?A．To introduce the achievements he made.B．To describe his “genius is my birthright” model.C．To explain why fewer students want to be scientists.D．To show his stories are unable to draw students to the sciences.2. What did the researchers do in the study?A．They read historical novels to participants.B．They asked participants to tell their career stories.C．They offered the same story to two groups of participants.D．They compared the reading ability of two groups of participants.3. Which of the following might Danfei Hu agree with according to the text?A．Students should know hard work is with in everyone’s reach.B．Young people should be taught success doesn’t come easy.C．Students should carefully choose their lifelong career.D．Young people should learn to follow their own minds.2. We live in the age of globalization; about 250 million people worldwide now live in countries other than the one in which they were born.Economic migrants look overseas to find better jobs and an improved standard of living. They often travel to one of the many developed countries. These countries often have low birthrates, and as a result, are in need of working-age adults. Then there are retirees — people who want to spend their later years in a country with a lower cost of living. This group of migrants usually come from countries where the cost of retirement is high.Today, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the top places for economic migrants: they make up over 80 percent of the population. However, Japan’s migrant population is just one in fifty. Where migrants go depends on many things, such as job opportunities there or cultural and language differences.The huge number of migrants is a cause of worry within the host country, and it is sometimes believed that migrants lead to the depletion of that country’s resources. However, many people disagree about that. A study by researchers Christian Dustmann and Tommaso Frattini showed that on the whole, migrants from Europe contributed more to Britain’s economy than they benefited from the value of public services.Besides, most migrants send money home to their families; according to the World Bank, international migrants sent home about $600 billion in 2015, an amount comparable to the national wealth of the twentieth richest country in the world.In addition to the economic benefits, migrants may contribute to the cultural diversity of their host countries. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) works with governments to protect migrants’ rights. Through a global movement called “Migrants Contribute,” it also raises awareness of the val ue of migrants’ contributions. Being able to experience many cultures just by walking down the street is something that our grandparents might never have imagined. In many global cities today, it’s already a reality.1. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．A brief history of globalization.B．The future of economic migrants.C．The reasons for people’s migration.D．The rise and fall of international migration.2. What does the underlined word “depletion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Protection. B．Reduction.C．Formation. D．Application.3. What is the number mentioned in Paragraph 5 mainly used to show?A．Few migrants send most of their money home.B．Migrants help support their home countries.C．Many migrants become rich after their migration.D．Migrants always choose to move to rich countries.4. What is the IOM’s view about migration?A．Positive. B．Doubtful.C．Worried. D．Unconcerned.3. What do you call a seven-course meal in Australia? A pie and a six‑pack. Or so the old joke goes. While the nation’s standing in food circles continues to climb, the meat pie itself remains as uniquely Australian as ever.In 1927, guests attending the opening of the old Parliament House in Canberra dined on free meat pies. Sadly, organizers wrongly predicted visitor numbers for the event and were forced to send two trucks of pies to the nearby rubbish center. The 90-cent stamp issued as part of 1987’s Aussie Kids series is about a couple of young people getting stuck into some meat pies at a football match. I t’s said that Australians eat somewhere between 270 million and 300 million meat pies every year. Like most of my countrymen, I eat lots of pies during the football season.While most of the pies eaten in Australia are produced in big factories, many bakers (面包师) all over the country choose to make their pies in-house. As convenient as a pie from the petrol station might be, it’s at places like Brighton Bakery in Western Australia where the nation’s pie-making people are best admired.But that’s not to say all pies are created equal. If so, there’d be little need for competitions like the Great Aussie Pie Competition. First held in 1990 as part of the Sydney International Catering Trade Fair, this yearly competition tries to unearth the best pies around the country while improving the national standard at the same time.Although the guidelines are aimed at helping big bakers produce and sell the best possible pies, some of the advice will also be of use to home cooks, in particular: “check the underside of yo ur product for dirty marks”. Also worth noting is that it’s “important to get the balance right. Marks awarded for pastry-to-meat ratio (油酥面团与肉的比例)!”In addition, tomato sauce (酱) is also important. Do you put your sauce over your pie at the start or do you add the sauce bit by bit? Perhaps even more importantly, to store the sauce bottle cold in the fridge or to keep it at room temperature? But no matter how you sauce your pie, every meat pie comes with an unmistakable taste of Australia.1. What does Paragraph 2 mainly deal with?A．What Australian-style meat pies were. B．Why meat pies were loved in Australia.C．How meat pies were served in Australia. D．How popular meat pies were in Australia.2. What can meat pie competitions contribute to?A．The continued improvement of the guidelines. B．The improvement of the home baking level.C．The reduction in the price of meat pies. D．The equality among meat pie makers.3. What’s the author’s attitude toward saucing meat pies?A．The sauce should be put at the start. B．The sauce is the last thing to consider.C．The sauce should be kept at room temperature. D．The sauce is inseparable from Australian meat pies.4. What’s the purpose of the text?A．To introduce an Australian dish.B．To offer guidance on baking a meat pie.C．To admire some excellent Australian bakers.D．To explain the reasons for holding meat pie competitions.4. After traveling alone for nearly four months, my Highlights of Italy small group tour was exactly what I needed to keep my spirits high. Earlier in the year, I quit my full-time job to backpack across Europe and Asia. I love traveling at my own pace, but after several months of being alone on the road, I was ready for a change.Before I took my year off to travel, I worked 50-hour weeks at a public relations company. At the end of the day, I only had enough energy to save pictures of things I wanted to see and do when I finally made it to Italy. I wasn’t able to dig deeper to understand the little things like where to buy a pass for the hiking trails (小道) of Cinque Terre, or which trails are open (some are closed due to bad conditions). I was slightly puzzled when reading about train connections in Italy. Understanding the schedules (only the last stop is listed in tables, not all the stops in‑between) gave me a bit of a headache. Thankfully, our guide filled us in on all the details.One of the biggest reasons I love traveling is trying new foods. Italy is a food lover’s paradise (天堂) with foods that vary from vegetable and fish-focused dishes on the coasts to pasta (意大利面), pizza, and the rich meat dishes of the north. Simply put, there was no way I was going to pass up seasonal specialties (特色佳肴) in addition to ordering every city’s signature dish (招牌菜). I needed assistance, and my new travel friends helped me finish everything!On the day we hiked Cinque Terre, it was hot. About halfway through the trail from Vernazza to Corniglia (one of the most challenging, but most picturesque trails), we were exhausted. We knew a juice bar was waiting for us and cheered each other on until we reached the cafe. Covered in sweat, we took a seat at a small table with great views and held up our juice for a toast. If not for the encouraging words of my fellow travelers, I might still be climbing up those rocky steps.So, will I travel with a group again? Absolutely.1. What did the author do before coming to Italy?A．She worked full-time as a tour guide.B．She joined many other group tours.C．She saved some photos of Italy.D．She made detailed travel plans.2. What is the train service like in Italy?A．There are only a few routes.B．Trains seldom stop at small stations.C．Trains hardly follow fixed schedules.D．There isn’t enough information about some stops.3. What was the author’s problem with eating in Italy?A．She couldn’t find her favorite foods.B．She couldn’t finish all the foods she ordered.C．She couldn’t find someone loving the same food as her.D．She couldn’t accept the changes in taste in different areas.4. What can be learned about these travelers when they hiked Cinque Terre?A．They made it without much effort.B．They got lost in the trails in Vernazza.C．They all complained about the rocky steps.D．They appreciated the view from the juice bar.5. Ways to Reduce Food WasteWhile many people in poor areas suffer from a shortage of food, a large amount of food is wasted in the rest of the world. 1 Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste:◆Learn to store food. Not sure how to keep those greens from wilting (蔫) overnigh t? Can’t keep your tomatoes fresh for more than a day or two? 2 Not sure where to start? Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online.◆ 3 Recipes (食谱) often direct you to remove a part of whatever food you’re cooking with, but often those food items can be saved. For example, leave the skin on carrots and potatoes (The skinsactually have a ton of valuable nutrients!), save the beet greens for a salad, and don’t throw away the outer skin of oranges!◆Pick the “funny looking” food. 4 Buying food that comes in a different shape, size or colour helps use up food that might be given up.◆Understand best-before dates correctly. People often confuse best- before dates with expiry dates (有效期). The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food. 5 So while the taste may not be that good,many food items are still safe to eat for many days beyond the best-before date.6.

A. awareness B. friendship C. success D. affectionBAn 80-year-old man and his family may soon get a bill for the cost of his rescue mission.After an all-night search by rescuers,James Clark of Dublin,Ohio,was found "not moving and exhibiting what appeared to be signs and symptoms on low body temperature to the point of not being able to speak any clear words," according to a statement.Similarly,in 2015，a family of four received an about 8，500 bill after their daytime hike left them lost in the dark and requiring search and rescue（SAR）.This raises an interesting question：Who pays for the cost when you get lost or injured in the great outdoors？The high cost of SAR missions is what prompted states like New Hampshire to pass laws that establish programs like Hike Safe to hold individuals more financially accountable for their rescues.However,some people have called for more strict laws to shift SAR costs off taxpayers.They say such a move would ultimately make people take more responsibility,but it's a controversial idea. "Society rescues people all the time-auto accident victims,home fire victims-and at far greater cost than wilderness hiker rescues." writes Backpacker.Critics say putting a price tag on SAR could cause people to hesitate before calling for help in emergency situations.But Heggie says this isn't actually the reason why the National Park Service doesn't charge for SAR. "If an agency such as NPS starts charging the public for SAR costs,the agency essentially has to conduct SAR operations.If something goes wrong during the SAR operation,someone could lead to a lawsuit（起诉）."Both Heggie and Kupper say the best way people can avoid needing rescue is simply by being prepared,suggesting that people research hikes before they go,pay attention to their surroundings,pack essential gear and not rely on a cellphone as a survival kit. "The best time to prevent SAR incidents is when people are still at home," Heggie said.16.What happened to James when he was rescued？______A. He lost his way home.B. He didn't dare to move alone.C. He couldn't express himself.D. He was seriously injured.17.What benefit does a price tag on SAR have？______A. To pay back the rescuers.B. To make hikers more responsible.C. To reduce outdoor activities.D. To discourage hikers calling for help.18.What is the reason for NPS to avoid charging for SAR？______A. The possibility of being charged.B. The heavy burden of medical costs.C. The difficulty in doing a SAR operation.D. The fear of doing fewer SAR operations.19.What is the most effective way to avoid a rescue need according to Heggie？______A. Packing necessary things.B. Carrying a survival kit.C. Taking a cellphone everywhere.D. Preparing well in advance.What is "junk food" ？The term "junk food" is used to describe food that is low in nutritional value,with a comparatively high caloric value. (1) Many people try to avoid or limit such food in their diets,out of concern that it is not healthy.Nutritionists,doctors,and other health promoters often work to educate people about "junk food"，encouraging them to eat well-balanced diets which contain a large share of healthy food.（2）______ They wanted to raise public attention about the issue of food with a high caloric value and a low nutritional value.For food producers,producing such food has great attractiveness,as it tends to be cheap and easy to make. (2) Food which falls under the umbrella of "junk food" is different from each other,depending on a number of factors.Snack food items like chips and candies are generally considered as fitting in this group. (3) In some communities,takeaway food items like fish and chips,curries,and tacos （咖喱和墨西哥卷饼）are also considered to be "junk food".Actually,such foods have been prepared and eaten for centuries,and many are actually quite healthy.(4) There's nothing wrong with having some potato chips now and then,but having a diet based primarily on such food is a cause for concern.Because "junk food" often lacks useful vitamins and minerals,people who only eat it may suffer from health problems,and they may experience other physical issues like indigestion.A.What's considered "junk food" depends on whom you ask.B.There are plenty of disadvantages if you're doing it every day.C.It also has a long shelf-life,making it easy for stores to keep and sell.D. "Junk food" is perfectly safe to eat,as long as it is part of a well-balanced diet.E.Some people also put fast food items like hamburgers,pizza,and fries into the group.F.Numerous food producers make a range of products which could be considered junk.G.This term was coined in 1972 by promoters at the Center for Science in the Public Interest.20.

For motorcycle enthusiasts, nothing beats the excitement of riding your motorcycle on the open highway with the wind on your back. With gas prices rising, riding motorcycles is economical and a much greener way to travel. Along with the benefits comes the risk of personal injury if an accident occurs. After all, you’re not protected by steel like you are while driving your car. Besides a helmet (头盔), the latest safety innovations, new airbag jeans, are personal airbags that you can wear to better protect your life.Airbags have been protecting people in car accidents for decades. Now, a Swedish company,Mo’cycle, teamed up with an airbag technology company which previously produced upper body protection for motorcycle riders, to design and produce the airbags jeans. This kind of airbag can offer protection for the motorcycle rider’s lower body, especially the tailbone, in case of an accident. According to the company, “It reformed the airbag technology to protect the first bone of the spinal column (脊柱), because spinal column injury is the leading cause of disability among motorcycle riders.”The airbag jeans look like conventional trousers. Its component is removable and the jeans can be washed, dried, and worn again. The jeans are made of a fabric called Armalith which is stronger and weighs less than steel. Armalith helps to prevent riders from injuries caused by force of friction after a fall. The airbags fixed into the fabric help protect the rider if he or she falls off the motorcycle. If the r ider is separated from the vehicle, the airbags are touched off in seconds. That’s because the mechanism is actually a chain that connects the jeans to the motorcycle.Mo’cycle’s airbag jeans are available on the company’s crowdfunding campaign along with an airbag shirt and a complete protection package. Obviously, they can provide protection for more motorcycle riders. Making the roads safer for them is certainly a worthy effort.1. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A．To show the popularity of motorcycles. B．To stress the necessity of airbags jeans.C．To state the importance of wearing helmets. D．To display the excitement of highway riding.2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A．The tailbone injuries are hard to identify.B．Airbags offer overall protection for riders.C．Mo cycle is famous for airbag design and production.D．The airbag jeans are based on the existing technology.3. What is a feature of airbag jeans?A．They lead a new fashion trend. B．They are comfortable to wear.C．They are quick in response. D．They need fixing regularly.,4. How does the author feel about the future of the airbag jeans?A．Indifferent. B．Uncertain. C．Promising. D．Curious.3. Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. Viewing mindlessly through attention-grabbing posts and videos prevents “p rofound (深层的) boredom” that can drive people on to new passions or skills. Instead, people find themselves in a state of “superficial boredom”, which does not motivate creative thought.Dr Timothy Hill, leader of the research team at the University of Bath, said, “The problem we observed was that social media can ease superficial boredom. But that also consumes time and energy, and may prevent people progressing to a state of profound boredom, where they might discover new passions. Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development.Researchers interviewed 15 people during the pandemic (流行病), when boredom was more likely because of restrictions. Many described being trapped in regularly daily walks and watching television, with many turning to social media to pass the time. But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time.The pandemic was a painful and consuming experience for thousands of less fortunate people. But there are stories of those in lockdown who found new hobbies, careers or directions in life. Switching off devices could help people reach the state of boredom which pushes them on to new hobbies or achievements.This research has given us a window to understand how the “always-on”, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things.1. Why are Walter Benjamin’s words mentioned?A．To call for attention to the research on boredom.B．To comment on the strategies to face loneliness.C．To offer advice on developing creative thinking.D．To clarify the problem caused by social media.2. Which of the following may Dr Timothy Hill agree?A．Profound boredom is of value.B．Social media can fuel passions.C．The research has some limitations.D．Creative thought is easily disturbed.3. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Avoid. B．Break.C．Inspire. D．Worsen.4. What is a suitable title for the text?A．Why people enjoy boredomB．How boredom helps kill timeC．Why being bored may be good for youD．How social media blocks creative ideas4. From strumming a guitar next to a campfire to entertaining guests with a piano piece at a formal dinner, being able to play a musical instrument is unquestionably rewarding. Studies comparing the mental abilities of musicians and non-musicians often show that musical training is related to small, but significant, cognitive (认知的) benefits even when other factors, such as social and economic status, are accounted for. Indeed, there is evidence that just two years of such training enhances cognition.However, it has remained unclear whether these enhanced cognitive skills are just temporary.It is difficult to determine if cognitive changes associated with learning how to play an instrument remain throughout a person’s lifetime. On a single day in 1947, the Scottish movement tested the intelligence of almost every 11-year-old child who attended school in the country. Researchers at Edinburgh Univer sity’s Reid School of Music realized it was not too late to ask the original participants about their musical experiences.The researchers developed a questionnaire that collected information about lifetime musical experience. This was completed by the surviving members who returned to the study for further testing in 2018. The participants were asked how many instruments they played and what their training was like. They were also asked to record how many years of regular practice they had and what performance level they had reached. A total of 366 members provided usable information and 117 revealed that they had some degree of experience with musical instruments.Overall, the researchers found that a significant positive relationship existed between playing an instrument and change in cognitive ability over time. More specifically, the more years and more hours of practice with an instrument that a person had, the more likely they were to show a positive cognitive change over the course of their life. Precisely why learning to play a musical instrument has these effects remains unclear. The researchers theorize that driving people to regularly use a mix of focused attention, co-ordination, auditory-motor skills and memory results in advantageous cognitive changes.1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The significance of playing a guitar and a piano.B．The benefits of playing a musical instrument.C．The relationship between music and social status.D．The difference between musicians and non-musicians.2. What do we know about the Edinburgh research?A．It surveyed 366 participants. B．Its participants were old men or women.C．It asked participants to play musical instruments.

They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂). A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania, shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess (坦白) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before theygo to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones valuable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their emp loyees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).”25.The text is probably taken from__________.A.a scientific reportB.a financial reportC.a newspaperD.a travel journal26.The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means__________.A. disagreementsB. disadvantagesC.mistakesD.features27.Ghadi may agree that__________.A.employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a dayB.the ability to access many apps made smartphones worthlessC.smartphones might turn a person into a workaholicD.people cannot get away from work without smartphones28.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Smartphones are lengthening working hours.B.Smartphones are becoming valuable for many people.C.Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average.D.Smartphones are more beneficial to our life than we think.CThe sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009, a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world——Little Free Library. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw (取出) and deposit (存入) books.Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, who was a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other,” Bol said.Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little , there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main ap peal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading;a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,” sa ys the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration”.29. How do Little Free Libraries get their books?A. The communities bought them.B. Tod Bol donated them.C. US government provided them.D. Citizens shar ed them.30. Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?A. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.C. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.D. They are a gift to please his mother.31. What does the author of the Atlantic article believe?A. Little Free Libraries are more popular than e-reader downloads.B. E-reader downloads are undoubtedly beneficial.C. Little Free Libraries are physical and human.D. The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.32. Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that ________.A. they are in various shapes and sizesB. they are located all over the worldC. they connect strangers togetherD. they may give readers a sense of discoveryDAmerica’s Best National ParksPacific: Yosemite National Park, CalifClosest city: Oakland, Calif.
