you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．1．Do lessCut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．2．Have fewer meetingsMeetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．3．Give yourself time to get ready and get thereIf you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配）enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothingWhen people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．【1】Which can be the best title of the passage?A．How not to hurry in our life?B． How to give out our life?C．What to do with our life?D．How to change our life?【2】If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend, ______．A．you don't have to put on makeupB．you'd better squeeze about 35 minutes out for itC．you should arrange 10 minutes for itD．you should rush there【3】According to the passage, we can know_______．A．even if we do as we're told by the author, we can't change anythingB．if we follow the author's advice, our life will be betterC．we should try to do all the things better on our task listD．there's always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow【4】The underlined word "collapse" has the similar meaning to "______"．A．develop rapidly B．pay enoughC．fail completely D．drop suddenly2.China has a growing love affair with the cars．This is clear at the Beijing Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange, where more and more people come to look and increasingly to buy．Alice Wu is an editor at a Chinese Internet publication．She takes the subway to work, but she is certain she can cut her commute time if she drives herself．Wu says it takes her three hours to get to work now．If she had a car, she says, the same trip would only take her two hours．The Asian Games Village Automobile Exchange is the biggest car dealership in Beijing．General manager Guo Yong says the business sells more than two thousand cars each week．Guo says it is much easier for Chinese consumers to buy a car now．In the past, it would take them several years to earn enough money to buy a new car．Now, he says, many people only need to save for one year．Also, the emergence of less expensive domestic brands like Chery and BYD means more Chinese can afford cars．For decades, most Chinese city residents got about by bicycle or public buses and trains．Now, in many areas, the number of new cars is growing faster than the road system, leaving city streets jammed with traffic．Guo Liang has wanted to buy a car for a decade, and he will be the first in his family to own one．He is not deterred by Beijing's traffic jams．Guo says if the traffic is too bad, he will use the car for leisure or holidays with his family．Another customer, Zhang Menxin, works in Beijing, but is from Xi'an, more than 900 kilometers away．Zhang says it is very difficult to get a train ticket to return home for Chinese New Year．She adds that train is not convenient．If she had her own car, she says, she could go anytime she wanted to．World Bank transportation specialist Shomik Mendhiratta says, “Getting a car makes people fee l like they have arrived to the middle class, and it's got a huge status associated with it．It's a fantastic thing to have．”【1】The underlined word "deterred" in the 4th paragraph probably means .A．encouraged B．attracted C．astonished D．discouraged【2】The reason why Zhang Menxin wants to buy a car is that .A．it is hard and inconvenient for her to go home in Xi'an by train．B． she doesn't like to go to work by subway．C．she wants to use the car for leisure or holidays with her familyD．the place where she works is far from her house【3】The best title for the passage should be " "A．Cars made China a country on wheelsB．More Chinese Hitting the road in their own cars．C．More cars sold by the Beijing Asian Games Village Automobile ExchangeD．China is developing rapidly in the past few years．【4】According to what Shomik Mendhiratta in the last paragraph, the car is ____ for the person who owns it．A．of little value B．a means of transportationC．a status symbol D．a heavy burden3.Researchers have announced the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin．One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack．The study offered two new results from earlier findings, It said taking one aspirin pili every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty．It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels．Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s．It included 22,000 healthy men doctors．Ail were between the ages of forty and eighty-four．More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug．The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking．The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill．139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Ten of them died．239 men who did not take aspirin suffered from heart attacks．Twenty-six of them died．The researchers said the doctors' study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men．They said, however, the result does not mean every man over the mage of fifty should take aspirin．They said aspirin couldn't help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat．The researchers said men who think they wou3d be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first．【1】We may learn that the new use of aspirin is ______．A．to treat heart diseaseB．to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old menC．to protect old menD．to reduce the blood cholesterol levels【2】Aspirin can help those who ______．A．are older and healthyB．know how to keep fitC．are fat and smoke cigarettesD．are suffering from heart attack【3】At last the researchers advised us to take aspirin _____.A．as we like B．with care C．every day D．if we are over fifty 【4】From the experiment we can conclude that about ______ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died．A．7%B．19%C．11%D．44%4.There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns．It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either．What it does is to offer help in applying for a job．“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed．The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment．It is also an indication of the growing importance of the CV, with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right．There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application．“Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school．The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview．And in those days of full employment the technique worked．The letter proved that you could write and were available for work．Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest．There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the CV．【1】The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper column ．A．informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB．informs employers of the people available for workC．divides available jobs into various typesD．promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment【2】Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because .A．there are so many people out of workB．there are so many top level jobs availableC．there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleD．the CV is considered to be a work of art【3】In the past it was expected that first job hunters would ．A．write an initial letter giving their life historyB．keep any detailed information until they obtained an interviewC．have no qualifications other than being able to read and writeD．pass some exams before applying for a job【4】The CV has become such an important document because ．A．there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesB．there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedC．jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD．the other processes of applying for jobs are more difficult to do5."If I rest, I rust"——would be an excellent motto for those who are troubled by the slightest bit of idleness．Even the most hard-working person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his abilities to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, eventually, cannot do the work required of them．Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must- keep their ability polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture—every department of human endeavor．Industry keeps the key bright that opens the treasury of achievement．If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist．The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer．Labor defeats all—not inconstant, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, persistent, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose．So industry is the price of noble and enduring success．【1】What may be the meaning of the underlined word "rust" in the 1st paragraph?A．生锈B．成长C．进步D．快乐【2】Why does a hardworking person even use the motto? Because ______．A．he wants to remind himself that he is a hardworking man．B．he wants to remind himself to rest from time to timeC．he is afraid that he may idleD．he feels he can do the work required of them．【3】By saying "Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their ability polished by constant use", the author means_______．A．great men keep their ability polishedB．those who use their ability constantly would attain the great heightC．those who want to get great achievements must practice their ability constantlyD．great men polish their ability to reach their height【4】The main point of the 3rd paragraph is that ______A．industry is more important than agriculture．B．giving some examples of how industry works in achieving great success．C．what industry really means hereD．industry can keep the keys bright6.阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填人最恰当的单词。

We remembered that she had touched so many people's lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(献礼) to my grandmother.x k b 1 . co m We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother's address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response surprised us. We compiled(编辑)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life.I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one's lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.【1】How did the author's family celebrate Grandmother's birthday ?A．They took her on a trip across the country.B．They gave her a memory book of friendship.C．They invited all her friends to her birthday party.D．They asked all her friends to send her cards.【2】When receiving her birthday gift, the author's grandmother probably felt _____.A．disappointed and lonely B．sorry and sadC．surprised and pleased D．nervous and excited【3】The underlined word “bonds” in the last paragraph probably means_____.A．relationships B．works C．Successes D．celebrations【4】According to the passage, the author probably agrees that _____.A．the more friends you have, the betterB．friends are more important than familyC．understanding leads to greater successD．true friendship is very important to us5.We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the r oof rack(行李架), I’ve always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 pounds poorer, and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack. It was six inches long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?”I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”He was staring at our car: first at the flowers, and then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s acu pboard you’ve got there! We thought it was, something else.”My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.【1】It can be inferred from the passage that______.A．other drivers let the couple go first, because the husband did not drive fastB．the cupboard cost less than 20 poundsC．the husband, in fact, would rather not buy the cupboardD．all the cars followed the couple’s【2】The police will be more polite to those who are______.A．in great sorrow B．driving in the gathering darknessC．driving with wild flowers in the car D．carrying furniture【3】What did the police officer think of the cupboard?A．It was so expensive that it needed their helpB．It was a box for a dead person to be buried in.C．There might be something stolen in it.D．It was a big box with some bomb in it.【4】What did the husband think of the whole matter?A．It was very strange.B．He took great pride in it.C．He was puzzled at it D．He felt embarrassed.四、其他Day after day you are glued to your computer screen. You cannot get enough of online games, net shopping or cyber surfing. Your social life gets worse, and so does your health. Chances are that you are addicted to the Internet and you need counseling.On November 8, an Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) diagnostic manual（诊断手册）was approved by a group of psychologists in China, who agreed that Internet addiction is a mental disease. According to a report on , the manual for the first time gives a clear time standard for diagnosing IAD, saying that surfing the Internet for more than six hours a day, not for the purpose of studying or working, and having done so for less than three months, might be a symptom of IAD.Addiction symptoms varyBesides the long online time, some other symptoms would also help doctors diagnose IAD patients, such as having a strong desire for the Internet and feeling physical discomfort, becoming easily angry, being unable to concentrate on things or finding it difficult to sleep if unable to get online.Apart from these conditions, other symptoms are also listed in the manual. If a net surfer cannot get out of the virtual world of Web games, which has already affected his/her capability to study or work, or he/she feels little interest in doing anything but jumping online or is afraid to communicate with others, he/she is also considered to be an IAD sufferer.According to the World Health Organization, mental disease sufferers have two major characteristics: they bring suffering to both themselves and their families, and their abilities to be involved in social activities are affected. Mental illness stigma（污名）However, it has resulted in a backlash（反对）from the public, due to the fact that mental disease is a very sensitive term to Chinese.Many netizens dropped comments expressing their doubts about the manual, saying that they could not accept they might be suffering from mental illness just because they spent too much time on the Internet.Experts said there is a misunderstanding of the manual. Explaining that IAD sufferers are not “crazy people”, they call on society at large to change their understanding of mental disease. Mental disease covers a wide range of psychological or behavioral problems, such as depression.五、书面表达近来你们学校正准备创建和申报“省绿色学校”请你据此给某英文报写一篇短文。
安徽高二高中英语月考试卷带答案解析
安徽高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.If you have to attend a party or other social events where a lot of people will be present, do you feel confident that you will make a good impression on others? Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events.Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, try to find out how other people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession, try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas which are related to their fields of interest. This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.When you are at the event, don’t worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them.When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show you’re listening. Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.After the event is over, take a bit of time to think of your social performance and the conversation you had with people. Tell yourself exactly what you did very well at the event. For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with,or you may have asked several people some good questions that really got them talking. By doing so, your conversation confidence will gradually improve.【1】What should you find out before attending a social event?A．how other people will be dressing.B．a few professional magazinesC．some conversation ideasD．reasons to like other people【2】What should you avoid in a social event according to the 4th paragraph?A．Attending a party with your good friendsB．Ignoring eye contact with othersC．Wearing informal clothes and shoesD．Caring much about what others think of you【3】After coming back from a social party, we need to form the habit of _____.A．Looking for the positive things in our performanceB．Calling the host to show that we are thankfulC．Communicating with the people we met once againD．Thinking about how to improve our social ability【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．How to take part in social events.B．How to believe in ourselves in daily life.C．How to be more confident at social events.D．How to get along with others at social events.2.Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when younormally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you mi ght like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to fell tired at night and energetic during the day. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity. 【1】What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?A．You will feel upset.B．You will behave normally.C．Your body will not know what time it is.D．You will probably get hungry more easily.【2】Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer? A．Both should see a doctor..B．Tom should see a doctor.C．Both should take it easy.D．Mike should have a watch.【3】How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?A．By seeing what happens when they are messed up.B．By asking questions and collecting answers.C．By studying people traveling across time zones.D．By programming people with man-made clocks.【4】What will the writer most probably talk about next?A．Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.B．Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.C．Why it is important to have a normal body clock.D．What circadian rhythms are.3.Each year, we are exposed to ten thousand ads on average. They try to sell us their products by using beautiful art, videos, images or slogans that are catchy. The most famous companies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody. For those of you who have seen the movie Finding Forrester, there is that scene where Jamal walks up to some guy with a BMW and asks him what the car logo means. The man did not know the answer and since that day, whenever I see a famous company logo I try to find the meaning of it.Many think the horse on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. The story behind it is far more interesting. During World War I, a pilot, Count Francesco Baracca, painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck. He had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron（空军中队）. Baracca’s mother then convinced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930’s to bring good luck to the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever since. The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari.Starbucks started in 1971, in Seattle. The mermaid（美人鱼）represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female, the only difference being that they havea tail of a fish. The reason why Starbucks incorporated one in their company logo is that it was believed that mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships. In the 1500s, spices, tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade. So the mermaid in the logo of Starbucks is the one that “brings” coffee and tea to the stores.【1】The writer became interested in logos of some famous brands after _______.A．he watched an attractive movieB．he saw a scene in a movieC．he walked up to some guy with a BMWD．he noticed some famous logos【2】Many companies use logos because _________.A．people enjoy beautiful logosB．people are more likely to buy their productsC．people can recognize the products more easilyD．people are interested in the meanings of the logos【3】Which of the following is true according to Paragraph3?A．Starbucks was once a company trading spices, tea and coffee.B．Hearing mermaids sing, sailors would know the right direction.C．Starbucks has a history of more than five hundred years.D．The logo of Starbucks is believed to make the business years.【4】The underlined word “incorporated” in the third paragraph probably means _____.A．included B．abandonedC．corrected D．designed4.What’s the biggest online shopping day in the world? Not Valentine’s Day. Not Cyber Monday or Black Friday. The winner is China’s Singles’Day, celebrated on November11, or 11.11.Singles’Day began as a day for unmarried or uncoupled people to celebrate the ir lives. Single students, looking for an excuse to buy themselves presents, started it on November11,1993, reported The Guardian. It is symbolized by the four mumber ones in the date of November11 and is also called Double Eleven, in reference to the day it was started, said the BBC. It became a major shopping day in 2009. The CEO of an online shopping site --Alibaba-- tried to increase sales at the e-commerce company. The CEO, Daniel Zhang, launched an annual online sale on that day, said Fortune. When it first began, “Sigles’Day was very much an offline comfort to actual single people,”noted the website atlas Obscura.”A small group of students at Nanjing University are said to have chosen 11.11 as a day that singles could do activities like karaoke togeth er.”It quickly became a cultural phenomenon.Last year, Alibaba sold more than $1 billion worth of products inthe first three minutes of the sales, reported Bloomberg News. Total sales on Singles’Day soared to $9 billion within 24 hours. That’s four times bigger than Cyber Monday in the U.S., which is the Monday after Thanksgiving and traditionally a big shopping day. By comparison, online sales in the U.S. last year on Black Friday were just $1.5 billion, reported TechCrunch. Today, Singles’Day is very successful. Analysts say that this year, sales on China’s Singles’Day will increase to a new high. In the U.S., Jennifer Wang, a co-founder of a company targeting Chinese-Americans, said, “We expect to have 3 million people coming to click Dealmoon for the Si ngles’Day launch.” Some observers thinkSingles’Day could catch on globally.【1】How did the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By describing a holiday.B．By asking a questionC．By making a list.D．By telling a story【2】What’s the second par agraph mainly about?A．How Singles’Day came into being.B．Why Singles’Day became popular.C．When Singles’Day was started.D．Who first celebrated Singles’Day.【3】Why did China’s Singles’Day become a major shopping day?A．Because singles celebrated their happy lives on November11.B．Because students at Nanjing university took part in activities together.C．Because an annual online sale was started on that day by Alibaba.D．Because single students chose that day to buy themselves gifts.【4】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “soared”in Paragraph3?A．Increased sharply.B．Decreased quickly.C．Returned gradually.D．Appeared suddenly.5.English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary--perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes（自相矛盾的说法), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese--so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. Tha t’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.【1】What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A．English has a long history.B．English is widely spread.C．English makes a great difference D．English is used to translate books.【2】Which of the following includes two items that have the similar meaning?A．A wise man and a wise guy.B．Overlook and oversee.C．Quite a lot and quite a few.D．Hot as hell and cold as hell.【3】The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “__”.A．blow B．roll upC．get hurt D．finish【4】What does the last paragraph want to show?A．Human beings are very clever.B．English is difficult to learn.C．There are too many words in English.D．The same words have different meanings.二、信息匹配Everyone wants to perform well at school.Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!【1】I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worth adding. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.Taking notes is important .You don’t need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he or she writes on the board，or any special fact you think you might need for a test.【2】This away it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.Don’t skip school .You will be missing out on stuff.【3】However , you will have more work and you have missed lectures, Also, try not to be late for class. It' s most likely that your teacher won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.【4】If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class" attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make mistakes.Always ask questions.【5】If you don’t understand，ask someone. Read your textbook and notes，and then if that fails ,seek help. Ask a teacher，friend，classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.E. There is no shame in needing some help.F. It is true that you could make up the work.G. Keep a good attitude towards things.三、完形填空There is so much competition in the world where we live. Every single person has a(n) ____ to succeed and be the best at what they can. There are college basketball players ______ reaching the professional level and students trying their best to get an “A” on their math test. We meet businessmen that have ____ a lot of money.

But for much wildlife, loose dogs may be a dangerous enemy, according to a study by a biologist from Utah State University in the US.Based on much existing research and their own case studies, Julie Smith of Utah State University and four other scientists conclude that loose dogs may represent a huge danger to wildlife, especially endangered species, by hunting down or worrying them and by spreading diseases. They also found that dogs, their worldwide numbers around 500 million, can cause more damage to wildlife and livestock(牲畜) than wolves and other enemies of these animals.Smith gave examples from the US state of Idaho, where research showed the presence of dogs reducing some deer populat ions. On the Navajo American Indians’ reservation in northeastern Arizona, packs of loose dogs are attacking livestock. They have killed populations of small animals such as rabbits and act as a disease carrier for rabies(狂犬病) among people and other animals, she said. Loose dogs also were to blame for distemper(温热病) outbreak leading to a die-off of endangered black-footed ferrets in northwestern Wyoming in the 1980s.The phenomenon is not just limited to US; it’s a global problem. Julie Smith once studied t hree endangered species in central Asia: wild sheep, gazelles and antelope. The rate of injury and death to these animals by loose dogs was very high. In another case, Smith found that dogs, not wolves, as originally suspected, were responsible for a large number of livestock killings in the mountainous Basque country between Spain and France.Authors of the new study said the problem is likely to worsen as communities expand. Then how to deal with it? Indeed, in many countries, leash(拴狗的皮带) laws permit punishment of dog owners whose pets attack wildlife. But lawbreakers are rarely punished because the police lack both people and money.Smith has low-cost solutions to the problem for dog lovers, though. They include public dog-training programs and vaccinating (预防接种) dogs against rabies and other illnesses.【1】Julie Smith’s study mainly tells us that _______.A．many species are endangered because they are killed by loose dogs.B．wild dogs are immune to many diseases.C．wolves are still the greatest enemy of livestock.D．loose dogs are a great danger to wildlife.【2】Which of the following statements about loose dogs is TRUE according to the research?A．There are around 500 million loose dogs around the world.B．The black-footed ferrets in northwestern Wyoming were once the main food source of local loose dogs. C．The problem caused by loose dogs is the most serious in the US.D．People used to think that wolves, rather than loose dogs killed livestock in the Basque country.【3】Which of the following is among Julie Smith’s solutions to the trouble caused by loose dogs?A．More strict leash lawsB．Public dog-training programs.C．Vaccinating people against rabies and other illnesses.D．More support from the police.【4】What is the main point of the article?A．A global disaster caused by loose dogs.B．What makes the dog man’s greatest friend.C．The problem of loose dogs and the possible solutions.D．The danger of the increasing numbers of dogs.The purpose of this passage to ．A．make your study more fun and efficientB．introduce some apps used on gadgetsC．advertise high-tech teaching waysD．promote new application programs【2】According to the passage, we can know that ．A．the three apps all support audio and photo forms．B．college study is undoubtedly full of ease and funC．college students used to do research work in the library or via computersD．students can record lectures and send them to the cloud without permission【3】Which of the following is true about the apps?A．They can only be used on smartphones．B．Evemote and Wikipanion Plus are free．C．Evemote can merely be used on a computer．D．They improve learning efficiency and pleasure．3.Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves'. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.【1】From Paragraph 2 we can learn that_______A．violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB．a small conflict can lead to violenceC．students tend to lose their temper easilyD．the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight【2】Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A．To find out who is to blame.B．To get ready to try new things.C．To make clear what the real issue is.D．To figure out how to stop the shouting match.【3】After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______A．there was a decrease in classroom violenceB．there was less student cooperation in the classroomC．more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsD．the teacher-student relationship greatly improved【4】The writer's purpose for writing this article is to_______A．complain about problems in school educationB．teach students different strategies for school lifeC．favor teaching conflict management in schoolsD．inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence4.The tough economy is bringing new shoppers to the secondhand market. Plato’s Closet in Ch arlotte, NC is a private company which mainly buys and sells used clothes. While Charlotte has outstanding secondhand stores offering high-end and sophisticated (高雅时尚的) brands for women, most of their stock applies to adults. Plato's Closet targets teens and those in their 20s.Plato's Closet, with stores in Matthews and the university area, sells clothes and accessories (装饰品) that are currently popular at up to 70 percent off retail prices (零售价).The two hottest brands, for buying and selling, are Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch. Even though the offerings tend to be suitable for young people, there are a variety of shoppers at Plato's Closet of varying ages. Women in their 30s; 40s and older could easily find a purse, jacket or piece of jewelry they like.Customer Beth Gibbs, 52, who has three teenage daughters, said she used to shop at name-brand stores, but “this year I'm shopping more in secondhand stores”, because of the economy.If you're sellingUnlike higher-end resale stores which usually work on consignment (寄售), Plato's Closet buys on the spot. Items can be gently used, but must be in very good condition.Clothes should be less than two years old and styles should be the same as those still being sold at the shopping center.There is no negotiation; prices are set company-wide.

Most students have not been taught the principles behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number of hours he works in a day. If he doesn’t do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour’s work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours’ work he learns about twice as much (point 2). If he does more work he’ll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-thr ee and a half hours’ work in a day, he will be so tired that he’ll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he’d learn more (point 5).Now whatever the exact shape of the graph’s curve(曲线), made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point “X” is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum(最适度), the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books andfatigue(劳累). Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can’t escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best – and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.The skill in being a student consists of getting one’s daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taki ng it in, that’s a pretty good sign you’ve reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less –but if you get in five hours’ good work a day, y ou will be doing well.Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren’t working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the bod y; it does not. If one wanted to save one’s physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn’t chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.When you’ve finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work – that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn’t matter what – anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.【1】According to the passage, _______.A．the longer you study every day, the more you will learnB．you’ll achiev e better learning results if you work three hours every dayC．the less work you do, the better you will learnD．your work efficiency will decrease once you exceed a certain point of work【2】Fatigue can result in ________.A．loss of memory B．a need for relaxationC．a lot of anxiety D．loss of concentration【3】The passage tells us that a person’s optimum number of working hours _______.A．follows a regular pattern with each individualB．changes regularly from week to weekC．can be partly determined by the sort of work he is doingD．should be determined before he gets too tired【4】The only way the mind can relax is by ________.A．doing a variety of things in turnB．not thinking about anythingC．turning continuouslyD．getting oneself in a state of fatigue【5】After you have reached the optimum point of study in a day, you should ________.A．lie in bed and restB．do something else activelyC．do some physical laborD．stop thinking about your studies四、其他A few years ago I received a postcard from a friend Jackson, who wrote, “I am skiing with abandon!” I believe he meant he was skiing skillfully, joyfully, peacefully and confidently. Although I have no hopes of ever skiing that way, I do dream of living with abandon. I believe that men and women through the ages who have led successful lives have captured these secrets of living life to the fullest.1. Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sense of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your word, and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own standards, and not comparing yourself to others. It's not a question of being better than someone else; respect and integrity demand that you be better than you thought you could be.2. Turn disappointments into strengths. Individuals who live with abandon have discovered that personal trials make them more sensitive and loving, while building character. They have learned that achievements worth remembering are stained (给...染色) with the blood of diligence and marked with the scars of disappointment. The pages of history are filled with the heroic stories of men and women who overcame disabilities and difficulties to demonstrate victorious spirits. Raise him in extreme poverty, and you have an Abraham Lincoln. Make her blind and deaf, and you have a Helen Keller.3. Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s rewards. We live in a goal-centered society that wants problems solved now. We want three-minute coffee, one-hour dry cleaning, and instant success. But to live with abandon, we must live one day at a time, enjoying the little victories, realizing that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal fulfillment.4. Become involved in something bigger than yourself. I do not believe you will live happily if you set out to live life for yourself alone. Choose a cause bigger than you are and work at it in a spirit of excellence. It will become a part of you as you see your goals through to the end. Measure success not by what you've done, but what you could do.Title：【1】________ of enjoying life五、书面表达最近，你班同学就“父母是不是最好的老师”这一话题展开讨论，有些人认为父母是最好的老师，有些人认为也不尽然。

You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success. Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept thatthe person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.【1】The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_________________.A．avoid B．improveC．accept D．consider【2】According to the passage, winners_______________.A．have responsible and able colleaguesB．meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC．deal with problems rather than blame othersD．blame themselves rather that others【3】When your colleague brings about a problem, you should_______________.A．find a better way to handle the problemB．blame him for his lack of responsibilityC．tell him to find the cause of the problemD．ask a more able colleague for help【4】When problems occur, winners take them as ___________.A．excuses for their failuresB．barriers to greater powerC．chances for self-developmentD．challenges to their colleagues3.Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right?WrongNew research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes(基因) will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) 一it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.【1】The function of Paragraph 1 is to .A．show the main idea of the passage B．give an exampleC．make an argument D．introduce the topic of the passage【2】Most genetic changes happen because of .A．people’s condition at birth B．people’s bad living habitsC．environmental pollution D．heart disease and cancer【3】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to .A．the genetic change B．the cementC．the harmful effect D．the footprint【4】Which of the following statements is true?A．The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B．The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingC．The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.D．The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.4.People are being lured(引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun and free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook,because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth. The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default(默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-- president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how pe ople could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销)my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m u pset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That is too high a price to pay.【1】What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A．It is website that sends messages to targeted usersB．it makes money by putting on advertisementsC．It provides loads of information to its usersD．It profits by selling its users’ personal data【2】Why does Facebook make changes to its according to Elliot Schrage?A．To provide better service to its users B．To follow the Federal guidelinesC．To improve its users’ connectivity D．To expand its scope of business【3】What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate(主张)?A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websitesB．Banning the sharing of users’ personal informationC．Removing ads from all social—networking stiesD．Formulating (制订)regulations for social—networking sties【4】Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A．He is dissatisfied with its current serviceB．He doesn’t want his personal data abusedC．He finds many of its users untrustworthyD．He is upset by its frequent rule changes二、其他Wrong Reasons for Going to CollegeA college education can be priceless.【1】If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.Because all your friends are going.In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleg es in a half dozen different places. Not to go will set yourself apart.【2】Because someone else expects it from you.Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college. Or maybe, you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there.【3】. It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.【4】It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Ever yone else is doing it(see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest(无说服力的) of reasons to spend $20,000 or more in the next year.Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education.【5】So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.A．Because you don’t know what else to d o.B．It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you’ll go.C．Because you don’t want to work.D．But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.E. Friends will wonder what’s wrong with youF. Everyone seems more excited than you are.G. Whatever the story is, there are always people who regret decisions they’ve made.三、完形填空Eating the CookieOne of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before his cancer he would become depressed unless things went a certain way. ______was “having the cookie”. If you had the cookie, things were good. If you didn’t have the cookie, life was_______.Unfortunately, the cookie kept_______. Some of the time it was money, and sometimes power.

2020-2021学年合肥市第五中学高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AJuanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业). He has always wanted to travel. “I guess I am a really restless spirit.I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it,” he says.The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）. At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place anda different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,” he says.Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.But there is adownside. “You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,” he says. “You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.1.Which of the following is true?A.He has been a housekeeping manager for 18 months.B.He doesn’t drink wine now.C.He cannot speak a foreign language.D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.2.The underlined word“downside”in paragraph 5 probably means ________ .A.disappointmentB.disadvantageC.failureD.loss3.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is ________.A.not a tiring journey at allB.just an interesting voyageC.far from a voyage for pleasureD.more than a pleasant travel by seaBWhat will future schools look like in 100 years? Imagine future schools in which students are totally engaged in a class. They are concentrating on working together to solve real-world problems. They are self-driven and are coming up withamazing ideas on the spot. They are concerned with each other’s well-being as part of a team. Their concerns reach far beyond the classroom to others all over the globe.The school of the future will be an amazing melting pot of different peoples coming together to solve real-world problems.Will they even be called “schools” in the future?The teacher-student relationship is changing. Teachers are acting more as helpers rather than keepers of all knowledge. Students are driving their own education to the path that they feel best fits them. In the future, employers may not be as concerned with a diploma. They’ll look more at cases and examples of how students contribute to solving real-world problems. They’ll want to know how well they work in a team.What will problem-solving look like in the future?Information from the Internet is accessible everywhere and at unimaginable speeds. Kids are connected to news around the world in real time. Imagine someone could put out a request to the global community to help solve an issue in their own community! Classes can adopt an issue and work with other classes around the world in real time to create solutions.What will information look like in the future?It’s already everywhere. Users can get flooded by the constant flow of information. The need to understand what is true and what is not is important. The flipped classroom (翻转课堂) has already completely changed lecture-based lessons. It presents interesting content to students before they even come to class. They can access the Internet as many times as they want to review the lessons.4. What is the key message of the first paragraph?A. The things students will do in the future school.B. The situation where students will be in the future.C. The attention students will pay to in the classroom.D. The methods students will use to study in the classroom.5.

Teachers encourage students to develop leadership.B Students are really relaxed with their heavy study.C. The employers value students’ diplomas most.D. Students have the right to choose the most suitable lessons.7. What’s the purpose of the flipped classroom?A. To help students to improve the problem-solving ability.B. To provide the lessons for students to study before or after class.C. To help students to keep in contact with the outside world.D. To help students to understand the most difficult content.CSome years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.8. The author accepted the assignment because_________.A. he had never travelled abroad beforeB. he hardly knew any foreign languagesC. he was familiar with any other country in EuropeD. he would learn something new and different by trying9.

Ready to Try and ChallengeD. How to Be Daring and Brave.DYellowstoneNational ParkbecameAmerica's first national park in 1872.

2020年合肥市第五中学高三英语二模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项APersonal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that，over time，a full life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection，hanging out with friends，or just being“off. ”So，after a number of years，we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.■Schedule itFirst of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.■Be flexible and strictIf you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.■Take enough timeMy typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.■Do what you want to doRemember，PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do，not what you have to do. PTO time is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?A.Persuade the family.B.Have a personal rest.C.Ask friends for advice.D.Make a time plan.2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?A.Get you more focused.B.Have you feel relaxed.C.Shake your shoulders often.D.Make you feel more stressed.3.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Tips on how to take your time offB.Skills to manage work and familyC.Advice on how to free yourselfD.Ways of scheduling your workBThe founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator fromWisconsin. During the late 1960s, Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life, killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for a healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which had previously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.4. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “synonymous with” in paragraph 1?A. familiar withB. opposite toC. different fromD. equal to5. Why did Nelson found Earth Day?A. To support students’ antiwar movement.B. To draw people’s attention to the seriousness of the oil spill.C. To arouse American’s awareness of environmental conservation.D. To educate Americans to protect marine life threatened by oil spill events.6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Businesses would like to follow environmental standards.B. Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.C. It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action.D. The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries.7.

You smiled at him like a mother would at her own child.You showed warmth and your hugs were always on offer.After a day in class with you, Charlie would come home singing. Whenever I hear Do Your Ears Hang Low or see him stretching to the sky when singing about the days of the week, I will think of you.I didn't tell you at the time, but I loved your morning song so much that Iimplementedit in my own class (I'm a teacher, too).When you saw I was troubled, you hugged me with your smile and I knew everything would be OK. You made parents feel as cared for as our children.In the short time I knew you; you taught me about the type of teacher I desire to be. You never seemed disturbed by the mountain of paperwork or impossible work-life balance that comes with the role. Instead, you appeared to embrace every minute.I can't understand why you've been taken from us. Telling Charlie was one of the hardest things I've had to do.I'm not sure he fully understands, but he told me he loved you and has been asking whether your"robot powers"will work in heaven.A friend once told me white feathers are angels telling us that loved ones in heaven are well. On the first day collecting the children without you，a white feather floated through the sleet (雨夹雪).

2019-2020学年合肥市第五中学高三英语模拟试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABritain's brilliant bridges have aided trade and brought communities together and are always the most exciting part of the journey. These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling”, in was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-Jong toll (收费) bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ l toll for every journey pays for its repair. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly spectacular (壮观) at night. The arches of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity symbol, thereby inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Cornish granite, Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital and experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor.Iron Bridge, ShropshireOpened in 1781, this is the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the cart of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.1.Which bridge has the longest history?A.Clifton Suspension Bridge.B.Infinity Bridge.C.Tower Bridge.D.Iron Bridge.2.What can we know about Infinity Bridge?A.People can just walk on it.B.The public give it two names.C.It's well worth visiting at night.D.It's arch is the biggest on the earth.3.What do Clifton Suspension Bridge and Tower Bridge have in common?A.They are both over 120 years old.B.Visitors should pay for passing them.C.They have the same original design.D.Visitors can have a good view of London on them.BBarred owls(大林鸮猫头鹰) are a large species native to eastern North America, but they began moving west at the start of the 20th century. By 1973,large numbers of barred owls had arrived in the western state ofWashington. Later they moved south intoOregonandCalifornia.In parts of thePacific Northwest, the owls are now believed to be causing a drop in the population of a smaller, less aggressive bird: the northern spotted owl. In many ways, the barred owl is the spotted owl's worst enemy. The barred owl has more babies per year and eats the same animals, like squirrels and wood rats. And their numbers are now larger in many parts of the spotted owl's traditional territory.David Wiens is a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, a federal agency that studies the Earth and its natural resources. He and other officials are doing something unusual to protect spotted owls: killing barred owls. It is a controversial, experimental program. More than 2,400 barred owls have already been shot.Wiens is the son of a well-known bird expert and grew up with the fascination for birds. He has mixed feelings about the program. "It's a little distasteful, I think, to go out killing barred owls to save another owl species," he says. But he adds, “We knew that barred owls were out competing spotted owls and their numbers were growing too fast."To catch barred owls, officials put digital bird callers on the ground. Then they step back and wait as several sounds from the devices fill the air. All of this happens in the dark of night. Barred owls dislike other birds in their territory, so they will fly down and chase other owls out. That is when Wiens and his team try to shoot them.4. What's the main problem with spotted owls?A. They are being starved to death.B. They have more babies each year.C. They are invaded by another bird.D. They are hunted by man.5. Why are barred owls being killed?A. They are eating the spotted owls.B. They are killing each other to survive.C. They are putting the spotted owls in danger.D. They are destroying large areas of forests.6. Why did the officials release the bird sounds?A. To kill barred owls.B. To puzzle barred owls.C. To protect barred owls.D. To frighten barred owls.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Killing One Animal to Save Another.B. Keeping the Balance of Nature.C. Protecting Birds in Danger.D. Preventing Birds from Playing Fair.CYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.9. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.DHave you ever thrown a camel? Camels are large and heavy animals so it would be hard to throw. But in the French-speaking Democratic Republic ofthe Congo, “to throw a camel” is a way of saying “to make a spelling mistake”.In the past, a phrase like that was not accepted by the French government as an official French term. But recently, the French Ministry of Culture worked on a new kind of dictionary that accepts the idea that many people outside of France speak the language. The language has changed over time and is different in places like Ivory Coast in West Africa or Quebec in Cana-da, compared to how it is in ParisA new online dictionary, called the French speakers’ dictionary, includes new French words from around the world. It was released on March 18—just in time for International French Speaker’s Day on March 20.Supporters say the new Internet dictionary is more democratic than earlier French dictionaries that only showed the way highly educated French people spoke. The new dictionary includes unofficial words like “pourriel”, which means an unwanted email if you are in Canada. It is a word based on “courriel”, which just means an email.French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the idea of the dictionary in 2018. It now contains about 600.000 terms, Roselyne Bachelot is the French Culture Minister. She said the dictionary is not just for France's 67 million citizens, but for the 300 million French speakers worldwide.The aim, supporters say, is to recognize the way language changes. Words and expressions included in thedictionary come from over 50 countries—even from the United States Some people in the southern U. S. state of Louisiana speak French.People can see the dictionary on a website or with an app. Users can also send in new words they think should be included.

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! S pinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable. People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.【1】A good title for this reading passage is______.A．Popeye the Sailor B．The Truth About SpinachC．A Mistake with Numbers D．Folic Acid Makes You Strong【2】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A．They thought spinach made them strong.B．They thought Popeye was funny.C．Spinach had a lot of iron.D．People liked folic acid.【3】A research group told people that spinach______.A．made Popeye strongB．was a green vegetableC．had less iron than other green vegetablesD．had more iron than other green vegetables【4】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A．iron B．folic acid C．spinach D．exercise【5】Folic acid is ______.A．something in food B．a vegetable C．dangerous D．a certain kind of spinach2.If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, move his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (the two holes at the end of your nose, through which you breathe and smell things) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until professional help arrives.To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey colour, and you can feel no pulse(脉搏), then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.【1】If you want to save someone drowning, you __________.A．have to pull off his clothes first .B．should try to get him out of water as quickly as possible.C．should first make out who he is.D．ought to throw a life coat to him first .【2】Once a person stops breathing, it means ___________.A．you have no more than 4 minutes to bring him to life again .B．his brain is completely damaged .C．he has passed away.D．there is no way to save his life .【3】To press his chin upwards is a way to _____________.A．keep the tongue from blocking the airway in the throat .B．prevent the tongue from stopping the airway in the throat .C．wipe the tongue out of the throat .D．see if he can possibly be saved .【4】If the drowning boy has no pulse,_____________.A．press his chin upwards is enough to get him breathing .B．blow air into his mouth is sure to save his life .C．press his nostrils together with your fingers can work .D．press is the last chance of saving his life .【5】Which of the following statement is true?A．Don’t stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again.B．If you see someone drowning, you must give him mouth-to-mouth breathing.C．If a man does not breathe for four minutes, his brain will be completely destroyed.D．When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.3.Louis Pasteur, one of the world's great scientists, was born in 1822, and died in 1895.While still a young boy, Louis Pasteur made his decision to become a scientist. He spent much of his life time studying the diseases of cattle, chickens and other tame animals. His wife learned to help him with his work. Almost everyone knows that Pasteur is the man responsible for finding a way of preventing milk from spoiling (变质). Not many people know he was the first to imagine and to prove that air we breathe is full of germs (细菌). One of his greatest successes was finding a treatment for people and animals to prevent a disease called rabies (狂犬病). Louis Pasteur won many honors and could have got large amount of money. But Pasteur preferred to live simply. The real happiness of this unusual man came from his work. Louis Pasteur did so well in his life that the French government took up his work and created the Institute Pasteur in the year 1888.【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Pasteur was a scientist and doctor as well.B．Pasteur lived for less than seventy years.C．Everybody knows that Pasteur succeeded in finding a way of preventing milk from spoiling.D．Pasteur's wife was of some help to him in his work..【2】From the passage, we know that Pasteur lived a simple life. This is because ________.A．he earned little money.B．he cared much about money.C．what he really enjoyed was a simple life.D．of all mentioned above.【3】Why were many honors given to Louis Pasteur?A．Because he was the greatest scientist in the world.B．Because he spent much of his life time studying the diseases of people .C．Because he lived simply.D．Because he was a great success as a scientist.【4】Pasteur could have got large amount of money if he had___________.A．cared much about it.B．made more discoveries.C．lived a better life.D．achieved more successes.【5】To Louis Pasteur the real happiness in his life was to __________.A．study B．workC．get large amount of money D．raise tame animals4.While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany."We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic（乐观）that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to areceiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.【1】Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.A．football fans are angry with refereesB．their new product can satisfy football fansC．their new product will have a good marketD．they can sell a lot of football in the future【2】In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means ___________.A．Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their productB．Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisementC．Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their productD．Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product【3】The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.A．information given back by a user B．advice given by someoneC．supplying food to customers D．food given back by consumers【4】The new product has drawn attention from some _________.A．famous people B．referees C．big companies D．countries【5】According to the passage , the following are true except _______ .A．The chip sends 2,000 signals a secondB．The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air.C．The chip will be used at the game in Japan.D．The chip will also be used at the games in Germany next year."四、单词拼写阅读下面对话，根据首字母提示，在横线上写出一个英语单词的完整.正确的形式，使对话通顺。

I think you'll say "no". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different color1 s have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color1 has its own weight in our mind.The scientist told us that color1 s also have smell. Can you smell the color1 ? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color1 stands for kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery scientists say that people accept the color1 s they like, and refuse the color1 s they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the color1 s you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different color1 s.12. What can we know from the experiment?A. The two boxes have the same weight.B. Colors can change the weight of an object.C. The red paper is heavier than the white paper.D. Colors have different weights in people's mind.13. What can we infer from Paragraphs?A. The meal of color1 s is changeable.B. People can sense the light from color1 s.C. People can smell the color1 s through the nose.D. All the color1 s have the same smell for the blind.14. Which of the following is TRUE?A. White color1 is heavier than red color1 .B. People nay get ill if they refuse the color1 s they don't like.C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.D. People's body temperature will change with different color1 s.15. The passage is probably a（n）________.A. short novelB. news reportC. science reportD. advertisement参考答案：12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C这是一篇说明文。
