AChocolate Factory Tours around the USAEveryone has a favorite way of enjoying the sweet treat of chocolate. Let’s take a look at a few chocolate factories throughout the USA to see how the sweet chocolate is made.Hershey’s Chocolate TourIn Pen nsylvania, the Hershey’s Chocolate Tour (free) at Hershey’s Chocolate World is an amusement ride that takes visitors through the production process, from harvesting cocoa beans to the end result --- Hershey’s Chocolate. You can taste a sample (样品) at the end of the tour.Taza Chocolate TourThe factory tour at Taza Chocolate ($6 per person) in Somerville, just outside of Boston, is offered daily and takes visitors on the journey from bean to bar through a unique method using traditional Mexican stone mills(石墨).Hoffman’s Chocolate Factory TourHoffman’s Chocolate factory in Greenacres offers daily chocolate factory tours (free). The through-the–window tour includes the story of cocoa and the history ofchocolate, as well as a personal experience with chocolatiers as they explain how their chocolate is made.Askinosie Chocolate tourThe Askinosie Chocolate’s factory tour ($5 per adult, $4 per child/student) in Springfield lets visitors hear stories of farmer partners that Askinosie works with across the globe. All of the work is done by hand, and Askinosie is one of the only craft chocolate makers pressing their own cocoa butter.Seattle’s Theo Chocolate TourSeattle’s Theo Chocolate is a must-stop when visiting the Emerald City, and taking a tour of the factory ($10 per person) is an added treat. The one-hour tour begins with an educational part in which the different cocoa beans and areas are introduced, giving visitors knowledge on how different chocolates are made.1.

So when Dawn’s employer decided to offer a one-year-long healthy weight program that focused on making lasting changes instead of a short-term diet, Dawn can’t wait to try it. She lost 35 pounds in a year on the healthy weight program. However, more importantly, she learned many new eating habits that she liked and could continue with.An important part of Dawn’s program was setting r ealistic goals that she could turn into long-term habits. She recognized small changes she could make, such as eating an apple instead of a piece of bread for a morning snack.Changing how she thought about food also helped Dawn go from diet to healthy eating. Dawn doesn’t refuse desserts and other types of food that might be considered bad for people on a diet. Instead, she has learned to take smaller amounts. Dawn also learned to pay attention to her hunger and fullness signals. Instead of eating until she feels full, she eats just enough to feel satisfied.Having someone she could turn to for support helped Dawn a lot. As part of her healthy weight program, Dawn was assigned (指派) a health coach(教练). This person helped Dawn eliminate things that might prevent her from staying with her healthy eating habits. And when she felt it was difficult for her to keep on her healthy eating habits, she would turn to her health coach for help.Dawn now realizes that it is her behaviour, such as eating well and being physically active, that really makes her healthy, not her weight.4. What is the difference between the new weight loss plan and the plans that Dawntried before?A. The new plan costs more money.B. The new plan lasts for a longer period of time.C. The new plan is more focused on a short-term diet.D. The new plan is more focused on developing new eating habits.5. Which of the following activities is NOT part of Dawn’s new weight program?A. Eating food cooked by her coach.B. Turning to a health coach for help.C. Changing her thoughts on food.D. Setting goals that can be achieved easily.6. The underlined word, “eliminate”, in the fourth paragraph means ________.A. collectB. recordC. expectD. remove7. What is the most important thing that Dawn’s story tells us?A. Dawn’s new weight program is very useful.B. Good eating habits are the key to losing weight.C. Other people’s support can help one lose weight.D. Fat people should join Dawn’s new program.CHundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print pletely different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.8. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.9. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _______ .A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country10. To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?A. Two.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.11. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?A. Your teacher has got a cold.B. The bike in front of your house is lost.C. You often play football with your friends after school.D. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.DInstagram is a social networking app made for sharing photos and videos from a smartphone. However, some people argue that Instagram is harmful to teens.Essena O’Neill seemed to have a perfect life --- at least online. The Australian teen had 500,000 Instagram followers. Her Internet fame led to a modeling contract(合同). panies paid her to show their clothing in her photos.But in November xx, Essena, then 18, shut down her Instagram account(账户). She cut off more than xx photos. “I’ve spent the majority of my teenage life being attracted to social media,” she wrote. “ I’m leaving Instagram.”Essena left a few photos online, and told the truth behind the photos she created. For example, she didn’t eat all day before taking a picture in a bikini(比基尼泳装). She took that photo 100 times to make sure her stomach looked perfect. “Social media is not real life!” she says now.Seeing perfect-looking Instagram photos can make teens feel like they don’t meet the standard of beauty. And if your photos don’t get many “likes”, you mighttake it personally. Even Essena worried all the time about what others thought of her. Trying to appear perfect online made her feel alone. One day, she wrote, “I had never been more miserable(痛苦的).”Not everyone thinks that Instagrem is harmful, though. Some people say it might even be good for teens. Why? Unlike many ads and magazines, Instagram includes photos of all different kinds of people. That means you’re more likely to see a photo of someone who looks like you.Plus, studies show that many people who use social media feel more connected to friends. And social media users are more likely to know about big events in the lives of friends and family. So maybe it’s OK to love Instagram as long as you love yourself too.12. According to the text, Instagram brought Essena ______.A. a healthy lifestyleB. fame and moneyC. many true friendsD. a perfect teenage life13. Why did Essena shut down her Instagram account at age 18?A. Because she was too busy.B. Because her shape changed.C. Because she faced great pressure. D .Because her photos were deleted14. What’s the author’s attitude towards Instagram?A. WorriedB. CuriousC. SurprisedD. Supportive15. What does the text mainly discuss?A. Should you be on a diet to look perfect?B. Should you make friends on social media?C. Should you give others “likes” on Instagram?D. Should you shut down your Instagram account?第二节（共5小题，每小题2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。

At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also e in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather acpanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.8.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A.Because they are traditional and safe.B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C.Because they are colorful and available.D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.9.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______.A.to ride it for funB.to use it for transportC.to experience local cultureD.to improve his riding skills10.How did the author feel about his street crossing?A.It was boring.B.It was difficult.C.It was lively.D.It was wonderful.11.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C.The author was praised by the other bikers.D.The author took great pleasure in bikingDWhen I was at university，I studied very hard．But a lot of my friends did very little work．Some did just enough to pass exams．Others didn’t do quite enough．Fred Baines was one of them．He spent more time drinking in the Students’ Union than working in the library．Once at the end of the term，we had to take an important test in chemistry．The test had a hundred questions. In my room the night before the test，Fred was watching TV．Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test．But on that night he looked perfectly calm．Then he told me of his plan．“It’s very simple．There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test．I’ll take a coin into the examination room．I haven’t studied a chemistry book for months，so I’ll just toss the coin．That way，I’m sure I’ll get half the questions right．”The next day, Fred came happily into the exam room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers. Then he left，half an hour before the rest of us．The next day，he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor．“Oh，good，”he said，“Have you got the result of the test?”The professor looked at him and smiled, “Ah，it’s you，Baines．Just a minut e.”Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it．“I’m terribly sorry，Baines,”he said，“You failed!”12.This story mainly wants to tell us ________．A．chemistry is really hard to learnB．there were too many questions for students to prepare forC．good exam results needs hard studyD．tossing a coin can not always decide the result13.

2019-2020学年高一上学期英语期末考试试卷一、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) （共4题；共30分）1.根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
It is a tall tale（夸张的故事）that terrifies most young children. Swallow a piece of chewing gum and it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested. An even worse tale is that swallowed（吞）gum can wrap itself around your heart.But what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? Chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring. The gum base is pretty indigestible(难消化的)—it is a mixture of different ingredients (成分) that our body can't absorb.Most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods. However, your digestive system has another way to deal with things you swallow. After all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest. They keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut (肠子) and come out at the other end one or two days later.The saliva (唾液) in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soon as we put it in our mouths. It might get through the shell（壳）but many of gum's base ingredients are indigestible. It's then down to our stomach muscles—which contract(收缩) and relax, much like the way an earthworm moves—to slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.Swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short time can cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adults—but this is extremely rare.（1）Children might feel terrified after swallowing chewing gum mainly because ________.A.they believe the tall tales about chewing gumB.chewing gum will stay in their body for yearsC.their heart will be wrapped by chewing gumD.chewing gum is indigestible for children（2）What happens to the food that can't be fully broken down?A.It remains in our digestive system forever.B.It will be eventually moved out of our body.C.It will fight against the power of the gut.D.It will stick to the gut for one or two days.（3）The word It (in the 4th paragraph) refers to “________”.A.the attemptB.the salviaC.the shellD.the gum base（4）What would be the best title for text?A.How does our digestive system work?B.Can chewing gum be swallowed by kids?C.Does swallowing chewing gum matter?D.Why swallowing chewing gum frightens kids?2.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Reading prehension 36%Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 50 .Some are the 51 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 52 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 53 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 54 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 55 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Eversince, spray-painted sign has bee more and more 56 .More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 57 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 58 about your pany, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 59 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 60 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 61 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 62 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AIn February, the University of Southern California received a verbal mitment from David Sills, a 13-year-old quarterback , to play football for the school in xx. The seventh grader from Bear, Delaware, is one of the youngest athletes ever to be offered a college sports scholarship.David and his family say that now he won't have to spend time deciding where to play college ball.Instead, he can focus on school and on improving his skills on the field. Critics argue David is too young to make such a big decision, even with parental help. What's your opinion?NO!Bob Butler, 10, West Brookfield, MassachusettsIn my opinion, middle school students should not be offered college sports scholarships. These kids are too young. Middle school kids should be worried about what they are learning in class, not about where they will go to play ball in college. Thirteen-year-olds are just starting to think about their future. If they are given college scholarships, they will just focus on improving their sports skills and not on education. They might not want to pay attention in class anymore. This type of mitment would force kids to grow up too fast!YES !Libby Hartley, 12, Frewsburg, New YorkColleges should be allowed to offer sports scholarships to middle schoolers. But first, the students should have a grade average of 85% or higher in order to qualify. They should also be required to keep up their grades through middle school and high school if they want to keep the scholarships. That way, the athletes would have to work hard in school and not just on the field. Also, if the students do not make it in sports, having good grades will allow them to have different career options to fall back on.65. David's family support him to accept the scholarship and think ___________.A. it's an honor for him to get such a scholarshipB. he'll certainly bee a famous football starC. it will urge him to study and drill more activelyD. a seventh grader is old enough to make a big decision66. According to Bob Butler, ___________.A. a middle schooler shouldn't spend too much time on sportsB. a 13-year-old is too young to decide on his future careerC. an athletic scholarship will weaken the boy's efforts at studyD. such mitment may prevent the boy from enjoying his childhood67. Libby Hartley suggests that sports scholarships should ___________.A. be given on the basis of one's study performanceB. be canceled if the students don't make it in sportsC. not be offered until one graduates from middle schoolD. be awarded to those who can pass their academic exams68. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Debate: Athletic ScholarshipB. Suggestion: Ways of bining Sports with StudyC.Opinion: Both Study and Sports Are EssentialD. Discussion: Most Important Task for Middle SchoolersBCatherine Destivelle is a rock star. She loves rock, but she can’t sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first petition in Italy in 1995.Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb tookeleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year.P eople always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because I’m in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so I’m never worried.”Catherine chooses new mountains from books—like buying from a shopping catalogue (目录)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan. She is going there next month. “It’s much bigger than the Dru, so it’s going to take longer to climb. An American climber, Jeff Lowe, is ing with me to help.”69．Catherine Destivetle is called “a star” because ________.A. she won a petition in 1995B. she loves rocksC. she’s a famous woman climberD. she found a new route up to the Dru Mountain 70．She had great trouble finding a new route up the Dru Mountain because ________.A. she lost her wayB. the climb took 11 daysC. she needed help from an American climberD. there was heavy snow71．On the side of a mountain she feels ________.A. worriedB. easy and happyC. like staying at homeD. well72．We can infer from the passage people often ask her “________”.A. Why do you like climbing?B. Are you in love with an American climber?C. Do you enjoy reading books on mountains?D. What do you do before you go climbing?CMost people in business have a strong sense that meetings are demanding more and more of their time. Fifty years ago meetings were barely necessary –the boss decided what was going to happen and told employees in a brief office memo.Now everything in business is discussed extensively in large meetings attended by anybody who has the remotest interest in the subject. The gradual erosion of formal systems of authority has increased the appetite for face-to-face meetings. Consultation and discussion has taken the place of direct instruction.The amount of travel to get to these meetings is increasing. More than nine million people passed through Heathrow(希思罗机场) in xx on the way to internal pany events. As a consequence, corporate travel is a growing part of UK carbon emissions(排放). It would be easy to say we must reverse the trend towards more meetings to reduce the climate-change impact of modern business. Unfortunately, it is not going to be easy. Some interesting recent research shows that most of the attendees at corporate meetings do plain about the waste of time involved. But when they were questioned in private, the picture changes. Only 15 per cent of people rated their most recent meeting adversely. Though most attendees saw room for improvement, meetings were valuable both in helping build plans for action and in making employees feel part of the organization.But do these meetings have to be face-to-face? British Tele recently presented some data on the success of its internal voice conferencing. In the most recent year, more than two million telephoneconferences took place in the pany. BT estimates a saving of over £200m from the use of this technology and a cut of almost 100,000 tonnes of CO2. Of course BT has a clear interest in telling us that phone meetings are a good substitute for wasteful corporate get-togethers. So far, such conferencing has struggled to take off as people have tended to prefer to travel. It is, after all, rather more difficult to understand the boss's body language over the phone. Nevertheless, BT's research on the considerable benefits of conferencing is reasonable. Rather than try to get rid of apparently unproductive meetings, we need to find ways to make telephone and video conferences ever better substitutes for those traditional meetings.73. Why are there more and more meetings according to the passage?A. Because the formal systems of authority has been established.B. Because people prefer to solve problems through discussion.C. Because the organizations are getting more and more plex.D. Because modern transportation has been developing rapidly.74. The word “ adversely” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. approvinglyB. enthusiasticallyC. feasiblyD. unfavourably75. British Tele presented the figures to prove that voice conferencing _______.A. stimulates the development of technologyB. plays a vital role in large organizationsC. may well replace conventional onesD. brings large profit to the pany76. What can we learn from the passage?A. Traditional face-to-face meetings bring more benefits than harm.B. Corporate travel contributes a lot to environmental problems.C. The idea of telephone conference is well accepted by employees.D. Meetings should be abandoned because they are a waste of time.DIn general, it seems reasonable to suppose that we should prefer peace and quiet to noise. And yet most of us have had the experience of having to adjust to sleeping in the mountains or the countryside because it was initially “too quiet”, an experience that suggests that humans are capable of adapting to a wide range of noise levels. Research supports this view. For example, Glass and Singer (1972) exposed people to short bursts of very loud noise and then measured their ability to work out problems and their physiological (生理的) reactions to the noise. The noise was quite disruptive at first, but after about four minutes the subjects were doing just as well on their tasks as control subjects who were not exposed to noise. Their physiological reactions also declined quickly to the same levels as those of the control subjects.But there are limits to adaptation and loud noise bees more troublesome if the person is required to concentrate on more than one task. For example, high noise levels affect the performance of subjects who were required to monitor three dials at a time, a task not unlike that of a plane pilot or an air-traffic controller. Similarly, noise did not af fect a subject’s ability to track a moving line with a steering wheel, but it did affect the subject’s ability to repeat numbers while tracking (Finkelm and Glass 1970).Probably the most significant finding from the research on noise is that its predictability is more important than how loud it is. We are much more able to “tune out” long-lasing background noise, even if it is quite loud, than to work under circumstances with unexpected disturbance ofnoise. In Glass and Singer’s study, in which subjects w ere exposed to bursts of noise as they worked on a task, some subjects heard loud bursts and others heard soft bursts. For some subjects, the bursts were spaced exactly one minute apart (predictable noise); others heard the same amount of noise overall, but the bursts occurred at random intervals (unpredictable noise). Subjects reported finding the predictable and unpredictable noise equally annoying, and all subjects performed at about the same level during the noise portion of the experiment. But the different noise conditions had quite different after-effects when the subjects were required to proofread (校对) written material under conditions of no noise. The study shows that the unpredictable noise produced more errors in the later proofreading task than predictable noise; and soft unpredictable noise actually produced slightly more errors on this task than the loud predictable noise.Apparently, unpredictable noise produces more fatigue (tiredness) than predictable noise, but it takes a while for this fatigue to take its toll on performance.77. When talking about people’s difficulty in sleeping in the mountains, what can be inferred in thepassage?A.They usually do not prefer peace and quiet to noise.B.They may be exposed to short bursts of very strange sounds.C.They prefer to hear a certain amount of noise while they sleep.D.They may not have adapted to a higher noise level in the city.78. What did Glass and Singer find in their noise experiment?A.Problem-solving is much easier under quiet conditions.B.Physiological reactions prevent the ability to work.C.Bursts of noise hardly disturb problem-solving in the long term.D.The physiological reactions of the control subjects declined quickly.79. Researchers discovered that high noise levels are not likely to affect the __________.A.successful performance of a single taskB.tasks of pilots or air traffic controllersC.ability to repeat numbers while tracking moving linesD.ability to monitor three dials at once80. What does “take its toll on performance” in the passage probably mean?A. Destroy the performance pletely.B.Have a negative effect on the performance.C. Improve the performance greatly.D.Have a positive influence on the performanceSection CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-AB for eachSuch education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, findout about newtechnological developments,seek better self —understanding, or develop new talents and skills.This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting. It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the founding of an adult school in No ttingham and a mechanics’ institute in Glasgow. The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn pletely new jobs. Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.V .

2019-2020学年南昌市外国语学校高三英语上学期期末考试试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年南昌市外国语学校高三英语上学期期末考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AMirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you seesomeone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also prettycontagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you arc mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.1. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Powerful to show one's feelings.B. Affecting each other.C. Attractive to the others.D. Being gentle to people around.2. When copying others, body language, one usually can ______.A. send wrong messagesB. hide true feelingsC. avoid misunderstandingD. win others, acceptance3. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?A. You will appear very attractive.B. It will help to soften his position.C. You will seem unacceptably proud.D. It willbe a good way to build trust.BIt is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.4. Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.A. learn in different situationsB. do things carefullyC. build up their confidenceD. improve their imagination5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. A child will act on what is instructed.B. One can't help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.6. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A. How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?B. Don't play by the lake.C. Don't you dare to walk through the red light?D. Fasten your seat belt.7. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. positive instructions guide kidsB. praise makes kids confidentC right instructions keep kids safe D. clear commands make kids differentCWhena person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the site Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said theU.S.is depending on “aflimsypaper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity, She called those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”8. Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards?A. They are easy to get.B. Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the vaccine.C. Students have an interest in the fake vaccination cards.D. To get a vaccine shot is expensive.9. Which of the following measures can NOT be used to stop the fake cards?A. Having a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards.B. Developing a reliable national digital vaccine passport app.C. Using a digital system to record vaccine status.D. Having all the students take a photo of their vaccination card and send it to the school website.10. What does the underlined word “flimsy” probably mean?A. Weak.B. Effective.C. Detailed.D. Professional,11. What might be the writing purpose for the news report?A. To promote a digital system to record the vaccination shots.B. To explain why theU.S.should prevent making the fake vaccination cards.C. The stress the influence of the COVID-19 vaccination.D. To reduce theU.S.university leaders’ worry about fake vaccination cards.DCoke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can ofcoke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.12. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.13. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Don’t pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.14. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To breakdown the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.15. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.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。

So far this year, Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens. the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries (including the United States, Canada, Japan. India etc.) ,Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).With the country’s huge native market, which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019, Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “Internationalcoproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal.

Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face. That’s when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books, he might be able to inspire young boys to read.Alvin Irby, a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher, knows how important it is for young children to read. He also knows that young boys in particular often don’t have adult male role models who inspire them to read. “Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when they’re learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,” Irby toldMashable.That’s where the barbershops come in. Four years ago, Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys, but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently. Since itsinceptionin 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.Irby isn’t the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys. Hair stylist Courtney Holmes, launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.That’s the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program. The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills, it’s about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax, laugh and have fun.“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys, then they will choose to read for fun,” Irby noted, adding, “This is really what Barbershop Books is about, getting young boys to say three words: I’m a reader.”8. What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?A. He found it easy for young people to get bored.B. He offered a barbershop to his former student.C. He thought of a way to encourage young readers.D. He realized the importance of reading for young boys.9. What is the function of Barbershop Books?A. To attract more customers who love films.B.

It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxingB. Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boysC. Irby attaches great importance to school educationD. Barbershop Books can arouse (引起) young people’s interest in reading11. What does the underlined word “inception” in the 3rdparagraph mean?A. discovery.B. success.C. popularity.D. beginning.DDengue is a very painful illness spread by mosquitoes. In severe cases, dengue can even be deadly. Dengue is a serious disease affecting people in around 120 countries. It can cause high fevers, headaches, and severe pain. It’s caused by a virus spread by bites from mosquitoes. Therefore, dengue is more common in warm areas. Every year, roughly 390 million people get dengue, and as many as 25,000 die from it.Now scientists seem to have found a way to protect humans from dengue by first protecting mosquitoes. Dengue fever is caused by a virus. Though it may seem strange to think of it this way, the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus are also infected with it. But the virus doesn’t seem to hurt the mosquitoes.Wolbachia is a kind of bacteria commonly found in many insects. In some insects, Wolbachia can keep some viruses fromduplicatingthemselves, which is how viruses grow inside a body. Wolbachia isn’t naturally found in mosquitoes. But by infecting these mosquitoes with Wolbachia, scientists can keep the mosquitoes from catching the dengue virus. Even better, the young mosquitoes coming from the eggs of the infected mosquitoes also carry Wolbachia.Researchers working with the World Mosquito Program (WMP) ran a 27-month study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They split a 10-square-mile area up into 24 smaller areas. In half of the areas, the scientists did nothing. In the other half, they set out containers of eggs from mosquitoes that had Wolbachia. They did this every two weeks for just 4 to 6 months.Ten months later, 80% of the mosquitoes in the treated areas carried Wolbachia. The researchers report the number of dengue cases in the treated areas was reduced by 77% and that the number of people needing hospital care for dengue dropped by 86%.Because the results of the experiment were so good, the WHO has placed Wolbachia-infected mosquito eggs in all parts of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The WHO says that within a year, their efforts will protect 2.5 million people against dengue and that their efforts will be turned into a program that can be repeated worldwide.12. What kind of disease is dengue?A. It is likely to cause death.B. It causes no pain but fevers.C. It happens less often in hot areas.D. It hurts both people and mosquitoes.13. The underlined word “duplicating” in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.A. worsening the harm ofB. expanding the size ofC. increasing forces ofD. making copies of14. What can be inferred about the method from the figures listed in paragraph 5?A. Its wide use.B. Its effectiveness.C. Its complexity.D.Its easy operation.15. What’s the WHO’s attitude towards the method?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Skeptical.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。

Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?A. Her family's encouragement.B. Her own instruction for children.C. The beautiful scenery and weather.D. The careful and thorough preparation.2. By describing the conditions Emalee met, the author wanted to________.A. show her guilt for her daughterB. prove that riding is a tough taskC. persuade her daughter to give upD. indicate she was proud of Emalee3. What does the author want to tell us according to the story?A. Never say die.B. Do nothing by halves.C. Children are what the mothers are.D. Every mother's child is handsome.BWhena person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the site Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said theU.S.is depending on “aflimsypaper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity, She called those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”4. Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards?A. They are easy to get.B. Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the vaccine.C.

Having all the students take a photo of their vaccination card and send it to the school website.6. What does the underlined word “flimsy” probably mean?A. Weak.B. Effective.C. Detailed.D. Professional,7. What might be the writing purpose for the news report?A. To promote a digital system to record the vaccination shots.B. To explain why theU.S.should prevent making the fake vaccination cards.C. The stress the influence of the COVID-19 vaccination.D. To reduce theU.S.university leaders’ worry about fake vaccination cards.CSome of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was bought when he married Mum. Every evening, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. This seems amundanetask, but it brought me such joy at that time. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile atme, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad started his own business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home as much as he used to. Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home.Today, I’ve graduated from college and Dad’s business are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early and said to me, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. I brushed the comb, and it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. This time, I noticed my day has aged. But his smile is still as heartwarming as before. Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.8.

However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters.

He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself.

2019-2020学年南昌市外国语学校高三英语上学期期末试题及答案
2019-2020学年南昌市外国语学校高三英语上学期期末试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AIn Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards (广告牌) to help save the country’s decreasing bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising giant JCDecaux. Six large wooden bee hotels, with drilled holes on the front, first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.“Without pollination (授粉) from bees, a thirdof the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered, according to the fast-food chain. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are decreasing or face the risk of decreasing. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and fast urbanization (城市化). Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.Every McDonald’s authorized restaurant in Sweden will be allowed to order their own bee hotel billboards and design the messages by themselves, as the fast-food chain says. It is their hope that the number of hotels could grow to a greater extent in the near future. Great efforts in addition to that have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”. McHive, which could function as an actual beehive (蜂箱). Designed by set designer Nilsson himself, the creation was sold for $10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden, too. This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass round their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.1. According to the passage, the challenge that wild bees are facing is ________A. the fast process of industry.B. the world's Large amount of trash.C. the rapid development of urbanization.D. the sharp growth of population.2. How does McDonald's help wild bees in Sweden?A. By providing shelters for bees.B. By offering food to bees.C. By advertising rescue activities.D. By putting up more billboards.3. What is the best title for the text?A. Wild bees in dangerB. The loss of bees’ habitatsC McDonald’s bee hotelsD. The protection of wild beesBSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.4. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C. It was the firstU.S.city that had been flooded.D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina.5. What can we say about the levees?A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.B. They helped people leaveNew Orleansquickly.C. They made NewOrleansa special American city.D. They should be built to match the size ofNew Orleans.6. What might the author advise city governments to do?A. Put up more shelters in the city.B. Build more levees around the city.C. Teach people how to avoid floods.D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Storms are dangerousB. Katrina makes historyC. Floods shapeLouisianaD. History must be rememberedCSummer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far toooften. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch (草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry alsodesigns the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The companywas so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that — over $46,000.Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”8. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.B. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.C. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.D. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.9. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?A. It would inform the parents or even the police.B. It would pump out the hot air in the car.C. It would sound the alarm attached to the car.D. It would get the window open to save the child.10. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?A. It used some of the most advanced technology.B. It simply combined technologies that existed.C. It could accelerate production of new technology.D. It is the most advanced among similar products.11. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?A. To conduct experiments to test the invention.B. To get other children devoted to inventions.C. To support a charity of medical aid for children.D. To get the patent and bring it to production.DRain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore—it’s partly made of plastic.Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents according to a study published in one journal on April 12.Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are produced deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨)in products, such as toothpaste and cleansers. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash clothing, tiny microfibers get washed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain,and they are released into the sea.Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei (核心) around which water vapor (水蒸气) combines to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain.Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found on average to contain 40 pieces of microplastic. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen said. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”12. What do we know about microplastics?A. They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B. They have become a threat to humans.C. They are light and can be easily dealt with.D. They cause acid rain and plastic rain.13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Waysto deal with microplastics.B. The wide use of microplastics.C. Where microplastics come from.D. How microplastics pollute water.14. What does Steve Allen want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. No place can be safe from microplastic pollution.B. The atmosphere possesses the ability to self-cleanse.C. Countries should work together to fight pollution.D. Wind causes microplastics to move somewhere else.15. The main purpose of the article is to________.A. call on people to use fewer plastic productsB. warn people of the danger of microplasticsC. introduce the sources and effects of microplasticsD. make a comparison between acid rain and plastic rain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。

In particular, AI is used in scenes where actor shave to produce certain stunts （特技）to develop setups in the studio artificially. VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgroundsto a different place in the movie.There are many movies with two characters of the same actor. When AI was not a part of the film, editors used different methods to show the two aspects of the same actor in one scene, but now AI is being used to form the second character of the same actor and is being performed to the viewers.By a perfect combination of animation, VFX and AI, realistic models are being created. And the most fun part is the fictitious character can hold the face of the actor but the age, hairstyles, and clothing can be changed to create more enhanced looks according to the movie scene and story. With the help of AI, the directors recreating appealing scenes to enhance the thrill and excitement. InJurassic Park,no dinosaurs were running but with the help of AI and visual effects, we could enjoy the scenes and the atmospheres.The directors and the producers direct to form a green screen including the obstacles and those green screens get replaced with the views that are made from AI and VFX, and the actors make the scenes alive and deliver the most suitable action-packed movie scenes. This method also enhances the viewers' experience, which makes the movie a blockbuster（大片）.4. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?A. How AI helps actors.B. What AI brings to movies.C. Why AI is applied to movies.D. Where AI is made full use of.5. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. AI can be used as an editor.B. Editors consider AI irreplaceable.C.

Unconcerned.D. Enthusiastic.7. Which of the following could be the best title for thetext?A. What AI Brings Out Hollywood MoviesB. Why AI Is Applied to Hollywood MoviesC. Which Hollywood Movies Make Much Use of AID. How AI Is Being Applied to Hollywood MoviesCWhen the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in BritishColumbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all onthe same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August.8. Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own?A. They were isolated by Pender Island.B. They couldn't afford to buy them because they were out of work.C. They believed it's good for their health.D. They could hardly buy them in shops.9. Which words can be used to describe the couple?A. Rich and generous.B. Helpful and positive.C. Optimistic and self-dependent.D. Motivated and brave.10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Their challenge may last about eleven months in total.B. They were discouraged by the difficulty at first.C. They had difficulty because they wanted more.D. They couldn't adjust their bodies to the hard work after three weeks.11. In which column may you read such a passage?A. Sports.B. Agriculture.C. Lifestyle.D. Business.D“Snowplow(扫雪机) parenting” is the newest parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, calling their college kids to wake them up so that they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.“‘Helicopter (直升机) parenting’ means monitoring their kids’ every activity,which is out of date.” Claire Cain Miller and Jonah Engel Bromwich wrote in The New York Times. “Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: clearing any problems in their children’s path to success so that they don’t have to meet failure or lose opportunities.”There is a mother who started a charity in her son’s name to try to raise his chances of being accepted to the college. Another parents spent years helping their daughter avoid foods with sauce, which she didn’t like. Once she got to college, she had problems with the food in her school because it was all covered in sauce.A survey says that three-quarters of parents of children between the ages of 18 and 28 ask for doctor visits or haircuts for their children, and 11% say they would call their kids’ bosses whether their children are having an issue at work.As reported, wealthy parents try to get their children into top colleges by giving a large amount of money to a school, such as paying for a building. This parenting has become the most popular way to raise children, whatever the income, education, or race is.Julie, a teacher at Stanford, told the Times that “snowplow parenting” is not a reasonable approach. “The parents should prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid,” she said.12. How does Julie like “snowplow parenting”?A. It is unreasonable.B. It is advanced.C. It is accepted by teachers.D. It is refused by rich people.13. What is the character of “helicopter parenting”?A. Parents make kids popular.B. Parents provide little money for kids.C. Parents ask kids to care for themselves.D. Parents watch over kids’ every activity.14. What should parents do according to Julie?A. Do as wealthy parents do.B. Make kids be prepared.C. Make roads be prepared.D. Do as little as possible.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Helicopter Parenting.B. The Similarity in Parenting.C. A Research on Parenting.D. A New Kind of Parenting.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。

A new study has found that North American migratory（迁徏的） birds have been getting smaller over the past 40 years． Researchers say the finding suggests a warming climate（气候）could be affecting bird growth in North America ﹣﹣ and across the world． The study was recently published in Ecology Letters． Researchers measured（测量）the size of 80, 000 birds killed from 1978 to 2016 during the spring and fall migrations in thecity of Chicago, Illinois． Over the 40﹣year period, body size decreased in all 52 species． The average body weight fell by 2.6 percent． Leg bone length dropped by 2.4 percent． The one area of growth was the wingspan, which increased by 1.3 percent．The researchers said the wing growth likely happened to allow the birds to continue making long migrations with smaller bodies． The study considered a principle known as Bergmann's rule, in which individuals within a species grow smaller in warmer areas and grow larger in colder ones．Brian Weeks, a biologist at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability, helped lead the research． He said that he believes the results show a clear connection between a warming climate and the growth of the birds． "In otherwords, climate change seems to be changing both the size and shape of these species, " he said．The study found a direct connection between the average summer temperature and the body size of the birds． Dave Willard works with Chicago's Field Museum, which was in charge of measuring all the birds． He said nearly "everyone agrees that the climate is warming, but examples of just how that is affecting the natural world are only now________．""We had good reason to expect that increasing temperatures would lead to reductions in body size, based on earlier studies, " Weeks said． "I was incredibly surprised that all of these species are responding in such similar ways．"The researchers plan to continue studying the Field Museum data in an effort to find additional evidence to support their findings． They will also further examine the idea that an individual's physical development can change to fit changing environmental conditions．（1）Which of the following didn't go down to a lower level？________A The body sizeB The body weightC The leg bone lengthD The wingspan．（2）Which of the following took responsibility for measuring the birds？________A Ecology LettersB Brian WeeksC The Field MuseumD Dave Willard．（3）What does the underlined words "coming to light" in Paragraph 5 mean？________A KnownB similarC intelligentD distant．（4）The main idea of the passage is that________A fifty﹣two species of birds became smaller．B the warming climate could affect bird growth．C the warming climate makes the birds grow larger．D the researchers have proved their findings．第二节（满分10分）9.

英语_江西省南昌市某校2019-2020学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题(含答案)
江西省南昌市某校2019-2020学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. Is there a place that you have a strong desire to visit before you are too old to travel? If so, you're in my shoes. The following places are where I desire to visit very much and most probably your best choices.Milford SoundIt’s one of New Z ealand’s largest fjords(峡湾)formed during the ice age. You can take a little light boat to travel down a river that flows into mini-lakes. Hiking(徒步旅行)here allows you to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful sights in the world. Tourists can feel like stepping into a hidden world. After visiting here, one will realize the great beauty of our world.The Rainbow MountainsThese geographical(地理的)wonders look as if they were painted with a giant paintbrush. The bright colors stand obviously among the surrounding green plants. Wild as it is, these mountains are a part of our world in China’s Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park. This wild variety of color does exist in the real world. No Photoshop is necessary for the natural beauty of these mountains.Bora boraThis place offers the chance to live like a native Polynesian. The clear open sky and the calm waters offer you the unique opportunity to observe how the native people lead a life nearby the sea.Many holiday centers are built here and offer different tours and experiences. The Galapagos IslandsThe islands consist of 13 volcanic islands and six smaller islands. Although known for Darwin’s visit, they're more attractive than you might imagine. There are 900 species of animals found on these islands.200 of these species are specific to the Galapagos. Most travelers come to this lovely place for the specific wildlife here.（1）What can we infer about the four places from the text?A They all consist of both man-made sights and natural scenery.B They all enable visitors to experience the local people’s life.C They all became well-known after some important visits.D They are all on the author’s list of places to travel.（2）What can visitors do in the Rainbow Mountains?A See beautiful rainbows.B Take photos of colorful plants.C Appreciate geographical wonders.D Paint pictures with giant paintbrushes.（3）Which feature of the Galapagos Islands attracts visitors most?A Darwin's visit.B The volcanoes.C Various wildlife.D Dark green plants.2.I often wonder how people can get so angry, so deep in their own belief that they become deaf to anything that may differ from their beliefs. I've often been told that I'm too open-minded, listening to others' viewpoints so openly that they become my own. Maybe that comes from my practice of actively listening to others. It means that I do really hear them instead of responding only out of politeness. Maybe it's because I was brought up by parentswho didn't necessarily speak to me about respecting others but modeled it for me through their own actions. They treated everyone equally, from what I remember, never looking down upon others because they were different from us.As I raise my daughters, I try my best to show them love and understanding in all situations. When they misbehave, talk back, or break the rules, I'll lovingly analyze the reasons behind their behaviour. I'll be tolerant（宽容的）towards their differing opinions and become open and curious about their ideas. And I'll be mindful of how I treat and speak to others, showing equal respect to everyone.My expectation is that if I show my daughters unconditional love and acceptance, they'll learn to show the same love to others. I hope that they will not see difference as a threat（威胁）, but as a way to add richness to their very existence. It's beautiful to live in a world filled with so many differences.So, as I write this, welcoming my second daughter to my family, I'm fully aware that change begins with how I act and what decisions I make. Every generation carries its own set of problems. All we have control over is how we respond to those problems. This is what I will teach my girls: how to control their own emotional world; how to hold onto love as well as their beliefs and values; how to remember that hate and anger are never the answer and that tolerance and love will always take them further in life.（1）The author seems different from other people in terms of ______.A her deep understanding of beliefB her reaction to different opinionsC her negative views on social politenessD her confusing attitude towards her parents（2）What does the author intend to do as for raising her kids?A Encourage them to have different opinions.B Teach them some useful conversation skills.C Punish them heavily for their bad behaviors.D Set them an example of love and acceptance.（3）What do Paragraph 3 imply?A Love me, love my dog.B Nothing seek, nothing find.C Don't put the cart before the horse.D Music with different tones sounds beautiful.（4）What can be the best title for this text?A The art of social communicationB The importance of love and toleranceC The ways to effectively listen to othersD The positive attitude towards hate and anger3. Many people draw wildlife into their backyards by putting out birdseed,small pieces of bread,and other food sources,but experts say doing so can lead to trouble.Feeding sites bring many different kinds of animals into the same small area,which can turn into a hotbed for the spread of diseases and parasites(寄生虫),says Jeannine Fleegle.He is a wildlife biologist for the Pennsylvania Game Commission.For example,scientists highly doubt that a deadly disease affecting deer is spread by exposure to urine(小便),saliva,and wastes."Feed used to attract deer will drawturkeys,squirrels,and so on,directly or indirectly,"says Fleegle."And just as feeding sites increase the risk of the outbreak and spread of diseases in deer,these sites will do the samefor other species.""Feeding wildlife is generally a bad idea,no matter what the species or where you are,"says Fleegle.Wild animals are not pets.Sometimes,the animals can look every bit as cute as a family pet. But all wild animals,even the small ones,are able to cause harm.In fact,food-seeking squirrels bite more people than any other animal in Grand Canyon National Park.Nutrition is another important factor to consider when deciding whether or not to feed wildlife.Animals will often make use of a reliable or easy food source even if it isn't one that suits their nutritional needs.For example,feeding deer a lot of corn can disturb the natural balance of acid in the animals'stomachs and lead to a condition called grain overload.Feeding can also change the ways animals move throughout a landscape,affecting their living areas.More animals in one spot can also lead to more fighting and injuries.So,what about birdfeeders?Just like any other kind of food station,birdfeeders can be wrongdoers in spreading disease.However,it must be pointed out that birdfeeders can also be helpful for biodiversity(生物多样性).In a study recently published in the journal Nature Communications,it has been confirmed.（1）What's the function of the first paragraph?A To give us some real examples.B To introduce the topic of this text.C To introduce the writing background.D To give us some different viewpoints.（2）What does Fleegle mean by his words in Paragraph 3?A Feeding is really harmful to certain species.B Many other animals often fight against deer for food.C Some feeding sites are too small to hold groups ofanimals. D Diseases spread easily among animals at the same feeding site.（3）What results may feeding wild animals bring about?①It can cause harm to humans.②It will greatly improve the biodiversity.③It could disturb a nd destroy the balance of nature.④It might make wild animals get unbalanced nutrition.⑤It may affect the living areas of animals and cause fighting.A ①②③B ②③④C ①④⑤D ②④⑤（4）What does the last paragraph imply?A Most studies support birdfeeders.B Birdfeeders have both good and badsides. C Scientists have proved the harm of feeding birds. D Birds have a better ability to prevent diseases than deer.4. A frozen 42,000 year-old foal(小马驹)discovered in Siberian permafrost(永冻土层)hada surprise:the oldest liquid blood on record."This is the second time that an unfrozen Ice Age animal has turned out to have liquid blood," said Semyon Grigoriev,the head of the Mammoth Museum at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk. In 2018,Grigoriev and his colleagues took out liquid blood from a 32,200-year-old mammoth(猛犸象)body.Grigoriev and his colleagues are set on cloning a mammoth and other extinct animals.And they’re already trying to clone the foal,a member of an extinct species called the Lenahorse.It's a long shot,though,Grigoriev wrote in an email to Lie Science.The foal was found in the Batagaika Crater in eastern Siberia in 2018.The foal was 1 to 2 weeks old and stood 39 inches(about 99 centimeters)at the shoulder when it died, drowning in mud. Surprisingly, the foal's skin and hair were preserved down to the tiniest detail by the icy permafrost.There was even urine(小便)in the body.The liquid blood was a surprise, Grigoriev said. Typically, blood turns to powder even in well preserved dead bodies,because liquids gradually disappear over thousands of years.In the mammoth,the blood was preserved in ice inside the body.The blood may not help the researchers reach their goal of bringing back an Ice Age animal, because red blood cells don't contain DNA. For cloning, the researchers are focusing on muscle cell and internal organs(内脏). Even there, finding DNA in good enough condition for cloni ng is a big challenge. DNA starts to go bad soon after an animal’s death,even in excellent preservation conditions such as permafrost,Grigoriev explained.Cloning a foal with the long-frozen dead body is really a tough nut to crack. The team has been trying to take out complete cells and quality DNA from the foal for two months, without success. However, the researchers will continue to try both in Yakutsk and at the laboratory of Hwang Woo-suk,the CEO of Sooam Biotech in South Korea,Grigoriev said.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A Cloning a mammoth is quite impossible.B Doing research on extinct animals is worthless.C Unfreezing an Ice Age animal’s body is very difficult.D Finding liquid blood in Ice Age animals’bodi es is rare.（2）What did the researchers find about the foal’s body in the permafrost?A It had almost lost its skin.B It was preserved in a soft state.C It was kept in very good condition.D It measured about two meters high.（3）What can play a key role in helping the researchers clone a foal?A The hair of the foal.B Urine in the body of the foal.C Red blood cells in the liquid blood.D Muscle cells and internal organs of the foal.（4）What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A A costly project.B A difficult problem.C An exciting fantasy.D An outdated method.二、七选五5.

AAbout aspirin:Aspirin is a commonly used drug which can be taken to relieve discomfort caused by numerous medical problems including headaches, toothache, inflammation(发炎) and infections. It is also suitable to treat colds and flu-like symptoms(症状), and to reduce a high temperature.Who can take aspirin?Adults and children over 16 years of age.Who should not take aspirin?*Women who are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant. Aspirin may harm your unborn baby.*Women who are breast-feeding. Aspirin can pass into your breast milk and may harm your baby. *People who have any problems with the way the liver works or with the way the kidneys work.How to take aspirin:Take aspirin after meals, with a full glass of water or milk.*The recommended dose (剂量) ranges from two to three tablets at a time. Never take more than 4g (12 tablets) in any 24 -hour period.*You must not take these tablets with any other medicine which contains any aspirin or painkiller.How to store aspirin:*Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.*Store aspirin in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light.*Do not put aspirin in the bathroom because the dampness there can cause it to lose its effectiveness. *Throw away aspirin that smells strongly of vinegar.Possible side effects:*Feeling sick, increased risk of bleeding, stomach pain, indigestion and heartburn are common. If these effects continue, contact your doctor.*Ringing in the ears, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and mental confusion are rare. If these occur, stop taking the drug and contact your doctor for further advice.21. In which case will you take aspirin according to the text?A. StomachacheB. BreathlessnessC. FeverD. Nosebleed22. How many times can you take aspirin at most a day?A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 623. What type of writing of this text?A. An announcementB. Medical instructionsC. A medical reportD. An official guideBFood waste is a growing problem throughout the world; on the one hand, we've got so many people starving, and on the other hand, in places like Western Europe or the USpeople are wasting almost 50% of what they eat. It seems reasonable to find ways to send the excess food to the places where it's most needed, but that doesn't happen nearly as much as it should. With that in mind, people in Galdakao, Spain, took action.They launched what they call the Community Fridge –a regular white fridge placed in the middle of the town where anyone can drop food or leftovers and anyone can come in and take it. This fridge has already saved 300 kg of food in just two months. The service is not a charity –anyone can come and just take whatever food they want.Of course, there are a few rules though –you can't donate raw fish, meat or eggs, for health reasons. Also, all the food has to be within its expiration（有效期）date and anything homemade should have a label with the ingredients; and so far, the program seems to enjoy its success. Other Spanish cities have expressed interest in adopting their own Community Fridge.This is not the first time this kind of idea has been put forward. A man in the Saudi city of Hail has also put a fridge outside his house and called on neighbors to fill it with food for the needy.The idea doesn't work in the US, and it seems like some people would rather throw food away than risk sharing it with others, but I certainly think this idea is worth spreading. Sure, you need someone to check the contents of the fridge and take out the food that goes bad, but for 150 kg of food per month, with one fridge? I think that's worth it.24. The first paragraph is meant to ___________.A. give the conclusionB. introduce the topicC. satisfy readers’curiosityD. describe a social fact25.

But these wildlife resources are now facing a dark future if we do not solve global warming, which is quickly becoming the biggest threat to the long-term survival of America’s wildlife.Wildlife depends on healthy habitats, which are decided by four main factors: the right temperature, fresh water, food sources and places to raise their young. However, climate change is putting natural resources of the wildlife in danger.Melting ice removes hunting ground from polar bears. Warmer water temperatures will reduce the population of many species that require cold water to survive.Moreover, larger floods are expected to reduce water quality and make the aquatic（水栖的）habitats get worse. Severe droughts can kill plants which wildlife depends on for food and shelter, and take away their water sources.Besides the above, global warming has also changed the available food for migratory （迁移的）species. Birds arrive on schedule to find their food resources ---- insects, seeds, flowering plants ---- have hatched or flowered too early or not at all. Milder winters make it hard to store seasonal food as well, so wildlife species depending on food stores to survivethe winter are left without food.What’s worse, droughts caused by global warming could dry up 90% of central US wetlands, making essential breeding（繁殖的）habitats for ducks, geese and other species disappear gradually. Rising sea level and changes in the amount of salt in the sea could destroy forests, leaving many fish and other wildlife without a place to breed.The fact that climate is changing fast is often overlooked. Species may not be able to adapt to this rapid climate change or to move fast enough to more suitable areas as their current areas become less suitable for them. Unless significant action is taken now, global warming will likely become the single most important factor to affect wildlife.28. What is necessary for a healthy habitat?A. The high temperature.B.
