2021-2022学年河北省沧州市献县一中高二(下)第一次月考英语试卷(含答案解析)
2021-2022学年河北省沧州市献县一中高二（下）第一次月考英语试卷ADon't ignore the difference teenagers can make.John Michael Thomas,14，FloridaWhen John Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley,who died from cancer,he remembered how much she loved peacocks （孔雀）.He wanted to build a life -sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth's favorite park in the city.He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired.John Michael raised ﹩52，000 to build the fountain.Barrett England,13，UtahThe wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop,a place where young people can earn free bike by reading and performing community service.Barrett visited Karma's owner with his idea：He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop.He expected to get about 10 donated bikes.In the end,Barrett received 39.Zachary Blohm,15，WisconsinThe 25 -year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee,Wis.，was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.That's when Zachary Blohm saved the day.He and some volunteers wanted to build a huge playground.To raise money,Zac planned T-shirt and bake sales,sold tickets and more.He held monthly money- raising events for more than a year.Overall,he collected ﹩130，000-enough to finish his project.Jack Zimmerman,16，New JerseyFor some people,finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator.For more than 366，000 hungry kids in New Jersey,it's not that easy.That fact didn't sit well with Jack Zimmerman,who organized a drive to lessen childhood hunger in his state.His goal：create 40，000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need.On game day,Jack and his volunteers started their work.After the final count,the team had packaged 47，124 meals-well above Jack's goal.1. The peacock fountain was built in a park ______ .A. to encourage peopleB. to cure a cancer suffererC. for the love of animalsD. in memory of a teenager2. What did Barrett do for Karma Bike Shop？______A. He repaired bikes there.B. He donated bikes to it.C. He helped it win customers.D. He offered a reading service there.3. What do the four people have in common？______A. They're top students.B. They like various public activities.C. They care about others.D. They're money raisers for the poor.BTo be sure,only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers.Many feel more pressure to succeed.They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.In India,10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority（少数）of only children.Among other things,the group does volunteer work to fight against the false idea that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal,a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."Most only children,however,say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging,unhealthy parents.Britain's David Emerson,co-author of the book The Only Child,says that such a person has to make all the decisions alone.Emerson knows from experience.After his father died,he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home,where she was vulnerable （易受攻击的）to house breakers,to a new one with more safety. "The move was quite hard on her,and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says, "After all,I am left with that responsibility."In the future,more and more only children will probably face similar choices.With working mothers increasing,many families are finding they simply don't have the time,money or energy to have more than one child.As only children become common,perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unfair.4. The author's attitude towards only children is ______ .A. CriticalB. ObjectiveC. HostileD. Unjust5. It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ______ .A. found a support group for their only childrenB. do volunteer work to help their only childrenC. let their only children make all the decisions aloneD. set good examples for their only children6. Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ______ .A. is the only one who cares about herB. doesn't want to leave her aloneC. wants to share the responsibility with herD. is worried about her safety7. The main idea of the passage is that ______ .A. only children are ruined and irresponsibleB. only children have to face many challengesC. most only children want to have brothers and sistersD. most only children share their responsibility with their parentsCSleep,considered a luxury by many,is essential for a person's wellbeing.Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions.such asobesity,diabetes,and cardiovascular diseases.Now,a new study by Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Grossman,who led the research.was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class.Instead,the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which.tracks a person's activity 24/7，would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.However,the study,published in the journal "Science Learning" on October 1，2019，discovered a surprising insight.Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes,three midterms,and the final exam administered during the semester. Even more interesting,it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test.Instead,it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important.Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly,even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. "When you go to bed matters.Grossman says.If you go to bed after 2，your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours.So,quantity isn't everything."8. What is the new finding about sleep？______A. It's essential for a person's health.B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.C. Sleeping too much is dangerous.D. Ample sleep leads to better grades.9. What does the underlined word "Fitbits" in paragraph 2 refer to？______A. Wearable devices.B. Questionnaires.C. Fitness equipment.D. Smartphones.10. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study？______A. Doubtful.B. Predictable.C. Disappointing.D. Unexpected.11. What will benefit students' study according to Grossman？______A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day.B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m every day.C. Getting enough sleep while learning.D. Going to bed early only before a test.D"There's no place like home." This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their "big kids". Emma Craig from Money supermarket says, "They're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more."With parents splashing out around ￡1, 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!12. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions?A. A lazy youth,an awful age.B. East or west,home is best.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.13. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds?A. The popularity of living independently.B. Looking after their old parents.C. The increase of unemployment rate.D. Their parents' financial offer.14. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Objective.D. Understandable.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth tasking. (1) Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why？Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work. The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring. (2) As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then？Well,even 200，000 years ago,too much risk-taking could get one Killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result,humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it. (3)No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. (4) To help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.Mean taking some risks,so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.(5) For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking,we'll continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A.It all depends on your character.B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D.Thus,these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F.However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.16.

Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature.H said，"The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that，it is due to the demand from the rich

culture."Education is very limited，" he said. "And in terms of legal enforcement，only one organization is standing out，and that is the Wildlife Alliance." He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting.But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole.Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia.To Chantha Nasak，a wildlife expert，the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats，as well as the climate change.However.there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species.Also，Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country."All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife，not just the NGOs and the government，" he said. "It should be everyone."（1）What problem did Suy meet in his photography work？A.Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife.B.Cambodians are lacking their culture of hunting.C.Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlife.D.Cambodians have limited education about hunting.（2）How do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia？A.It contains high nutrition.B.It is free of chemicals.C.It tastes delicious and fresh.D.It is a symbol of social positions.（3）What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animals Chantha thinks ？A.The climate change.B.The wild meat trade.C.The damage to wildlife habitats.D.The still-not-prohibited hunting.（4）What is the main idea of the text？A.A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture.B.A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife.C.A photographer is struggling with poachers.D.A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife.阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Here are a few of common phrases and the stories behind them.Saved by the bell: This means to be saved from a difficult situation at the last moment. In England in the late 1600s, a guardsman was accused of being asleep on duty. He denied that he (21) (sleep) because he had been awake to hear the clock of St Paul’s Cathedral (22) (strike) 13 at midnight. This was his proof that he (23) not have slept. The judge laughed at the idea that the bells of St Paul’s Cathedral could be heard so far away and sentenced him to death. It was later verified, however, (24) the clock did strike 13 instead of 12 times on that night. (25) (save) by the bell, the guardsman was released from prison and lived to the age of 102.Top dog and underdog: Before the days of electric sawmills, all timber (26)be cut by hand. Two men used a saw to cut the timber. One man stood in the pit and got covered in sawdust as it fell down from the wood (27) (cut). He became known as the “underdog”. The (28) (fortunate) man, who stood above the pit at ground level, was called the “top dog”.Buy a pig in a poke: it means to buy something (29) having a close look at it before. In old times, a pig was frequently put on display for buyers to look at. When someone decided to buy the pig, the seller offered them (30) pig tied in a sack (known as a poke). When customers went back home and opened the sack, they sometimes found that the pig was not as good as the one on display.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.My dear friend Megan, as a solo (31) , is on her dream trip to Europe. Her first destination is London. I am receiving (32) from her and it is more than exciting to be a part of her exotic venture. “London is a mix of modernity and traditions. It is a timeless, classic and evergreen city which is known for some of the most famous buildings, museums and galleries in the world.” she writes, “and the weather is pleasant even though the rain clouds hover over (33)and it pours frequently. But it is not (34) my spirit a bit.”Her schedule for the two days is packed with visits to museums and parks, (35) the vintage side of the otherwise modern city. She is taking a walk in St James’s Park, enjoying the (36)flower display and smelling the roses along the way she messages me. “You would fall in love immediately with the rich spread of rainbow-hued flowers. They say the English are(37), but I am warmed by their smiles while walking and travelling with them in the tube or by the roadside.”At the end of the day, Megan plans to treat herself to a typical English afternoon tea, which is a platter of sandwiches and English pastries and cakes served in an elegant cake (38) and a pot of tea.On day two, she is to visit the Tate Britain which holds (39) from modern and contemporary artists. She will be catching a ferry down the river to Shakespeare’s Gl obe, a replica of an original Elizabethan theatre, which shows Shakespeare plays in the open air. She says, “To know a country like a(n) (40) , look at the art and you will see the world from their eyes.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some (41) in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part- time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the (42) out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. (43) , such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact (44) on one’s career and family time.Of the many (45) to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the (46) to study at his or her own pace to achieve the (47) goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student’s convenience with due (48) to all life’s other requirements. Besides, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from (49) any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be (50) through regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject (51) tool with every subject. This precludes (排除) the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the (52)of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed.In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the (53)students but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. (54) distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of (55) career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Old Man at theBridge——Ernest Hemingway (Adapted) An old man with steel rimmed spectacles and very dusty clothes sat by the side of the road. There was a bridge across the river and carts, trucks, and men, women and children were crossing it. But the old man sat there without moving. He was too tired to go any farther.It was my business to cross the bridge, explore the bridgehead beyond and find out to what point the enemy had advanced. I did this and returned over the bridge. The old man was still there.“Where do you come from?” I asked him.“From San Carlos,” he said, and smiled. “I was taking care of animals.”“Oh,” I said, not quite understanding.“Yes,” he said, “I stayed, you see, taking care of animals. I was the last one to leave the town of San Carlos.”“What animals were they?” I asked.“Various animals. There were two goats and a cat and then there were four pairs of pigeons.” he said, and shook his head. “I had to lea ve them. The captain told me to go because of the artillery (火炮).”“And you have no family?”“No,” he said, “only the animals I stated. The cat, of course, will be all right. A cat can look out for itself, but I cannot think what will become of the other s.”“This is not a good place to stop,” I said. “If you can make it, there are trucks up the road whereit heads for Tortosa.”“I will wait a while,” he said, “and then I will go.”He looked at me very blankly and tiredly, then said, having to share his worry with someone, “The cat will be all right, I am sure. But the others. It’s better not to think about the others.”“If you are rested I would go,” I urged. “Get up and try to walk now.”“Thank you,” he said and got to his feet, swayed from side to side and then sat down backwards in the dust.“I was taking care of animals,” he said dully, but no longer to me. “I was only taking care of animals.”There was nothing to do about him. It was Easter Sunday and the Fascists were advancing toward the Ebro. The fact that cats know how to look after themselves was all the good luck that old man would ever have.56.What is the narrator’s job?A.He takes care of animals in his hometown.B.He protects the people who cross the bridge.C.He scouts ahead for the enemy's location.D.He questions people before they cross the bridge.57.What are some inferences you can make about the old man?A.He's angry; he's confused; he's out of control.B.He's exhausted; he's given up; he's emotionless.C.He comes from a rich home; he's missing home; he's lost.D.He's aware of what's going on, but has little intention of leaving.58.What is the theme of the story?A.Wars disrupt the lives of innocent people.B.Growing old makes you tired.C.Animals are hard to find in war time.D.Soldiers have tough jobs in San Carlos.(B)The Development of MuseumsThe conviction that historical relics provide infallible testimony about the past is rooted in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when science was regarded as objective and value free. Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look - and some still do - much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike. Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to normal visitors.Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered. The key word in heritage display is now 'experience', the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all the senses. Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London. In the US the trend emerged much earlier: Williamsburg has been a prototypefor many heritage developments in other parts of the world. No one can predict where the process will end. On so-called heritage sites computers provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticised as an intolerable vulgarization (通俗化), but the success of many similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more 'real', historical accuracy must be increasingly altered. For example, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal ( 尼安德特人的) man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife. Such presentation tells us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors. There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: if they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias than the presentations provided by experts.Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of history has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process. Castles, palaces and cathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people. In a town like Leyden in Holland, several families lived together in circumstances beyond our imagination. Yet in museums, showrooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era. No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia: the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in the past.pared with today’s museums, those of the past .A.did not present history in a detailed way.B.were more clearly organized.C.were not primarily intended for the public.D.preserved items with greater care.60.According to the writer, current trends in the heritage industry .A.emphasize personal involvementB.rely on computer images.C.reflect minority tastes.D.have their origins in York and London.61.In Paragraph 3, the writer suggests that some museum exhibits .A.fail to match visitor expectations.B.are based on the false assumptions of professionals.C.reveal more about present beliefs than about the past.D.allow visitors to make more use of their imagination.62.The passage ends by noting that our view of history is biased because .A.we fail to use our imagination.B.we tend to ignore things that displease us.C.only very durable objects remain from the past.D.museum exhibits focus too much on the local area.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Despite the fact that American companies have been “global” for a very long time now, many people today inside companies still misunderstand cultural differences. They misperceive foreign- born workers, for example, as too "shy" or not “confident" enough. 63 In many cultures, it is just not appropriate to make small talk with someone you don't know, especially someone above you in the corporate level. 64 For example, if you express your loyalty to a particular team without knowing that of your colleagues, you might put them in the uncomfortable position of having to either conceal their own preference or express something that conflicts with yours. So, you can imagine how challenging it can be for someone from a non-small talk culture to try to fit into a US corporate setting.In addition, the US is basically a“straight-shooter ( 坦率的人)”style culture, where it is culturally valued to tell it like it is. But this isn't necessarily true worldwide. For example, in Japan, people prefer to communicate indirectly, especially when it comes to a sensitive topic. To avoid accidentally damaging a relationship, people approach problems through subtle hints or general statements. If someone were to directly state a problem, it would make them look ungraceful, immature, and untrustworthy. 65Americans tend to be relatively informal in a business context. 66 Many cultures are quite formal, especially when interacting with superiors. In general, Indian culture, for example, is very formal. Indians typically greet their elders and superiors by title (Sir, Mr., Dr., Professor) and never by their first name. This is also the case at the university, where students act with extreme levels of respect towards their professors.The above discussion just hits the tip of the iceberg of the different cultural misinterpretations in corporate America. For American employers to succeed in selecting, training, inspiring and keeping their top foreign-born talent, it is high time that they started taking account of these cultural differences in their leadership selection process.第II 卷（共23 分）I．Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.School uniformsSchool uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S. A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule—wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's “creativity”. As noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality. Chances are that they just copy their classmates. While they're in school, their job is to master reading, writing, maths, etc. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.II. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.68. 随着时间的流逝，一些广泛使用的谚语正在被淘汰。

Together they are worth £280 million and now they have been jointly named "Entrepreneur of the Year".It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: "She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities."In 1967, Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. "I had little more than my qualifications and £5," says Vijay. "But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself," he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. "When you start from zero, things can't get any worse. You have only one way to go, and that's up—if there is a hunger in your stomach for success," Vijay says. "My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity."By 1982, he had owned six chemist's shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding stone "financial discipline" to his company. Vijay says: "I simply couldn't have done it without him." As he puts it, "Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z."Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. "We hope we are model citizens and would like to remain so," he says. "We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way." His message for young people is to do the same: "Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal."4. What did Vijay possess when starting his business?A. £280 million in cash.B. A small drug company.C. The title "Entrepreneur of the Year".D. Nothing but qualifications and ambition.5. What is the recipe for Vijay's success?A. His brother's financial aid.B. His identity of a model citizen.C. The perseverance in his goal.D. Encouraging quotes from mom.6.

We two together are like oil and water.7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. From Penniless to MillionaireB. The Significance of EducationC. The Power of Deep BrotherhoodD. A Modest Successful BusinessmanCA seriously sick Maryland man named David Bennett Sr.received a pig's heart in a pioneering transplant surgery successfully on January 17th,2022.However,this man who regained his life has a criminal record because of a violent attack 34 years ago in which he repeatedly stabbed a young man,Edward Shumaker,causing him paralyzed.The Washington Post first reported the transplant patient's criminal record and the attack that led to it.The revelations have resulted in debate about how patients are selected for high-tech medical care."The transplant gave him life," Edward's sister voiced her displeasure with the transplant for Bennett. "But my brother never got a second chance at life."But Bennett's doctors said that such unsetting historical records do not disqualify patients from getting cutting-edge medical procedures.Officials at the University of Maryland Medical Center,where the transplant operation was performed,said in a statement that health care providers were committed to treating all patients,regardless of their backgrounds or life circumstances."It is the holy duty of any hospital or health care organization to provide lifesaving care to every patient who comes through their doors based on their medical needs," the officials said."There's a long-existing standard in medical ethics that physicians or surgeons don't pick and choose who they treat," said Karen J.Maschke,a research scholar at the Hastings Center and editor of Ethics & Human Research.The question has arisen in the context of imprisoned people and enemies in war,and more recently people with COVID who chose not to get vaccinated,she noted."Where would you draw the line if you picked and chose？" Maschke asked.8. What criminal record did David Bennett Sr.have？______A. He repeatedly stabbed a young man,Edward Shumaker,to death.B. He repeatedly stabbed a young man,Edward Shumaker,to being paralyzed.C. That David Bennett Sr.received a pig's heart disobeyed the conventional medical procedure.D. That David Bennett Sr.received a pig's heart disobeyed a long-existing standard in medical ethics.9. What is the attitude of Edward's sister towards the transplant？______A. Skeptical.B. Disapproving.C. Approving.D. Indifferent.10. According to the article,which of the following is TRUE？______A. Patients with criminal records are disqualified from getting cutting edge medical procedures.B. Imprisoned people can' t receive high-tech medical procedures.C. Physicians shouldn't provide lifesaving care to those who have unsettling histories.D. People with COVID who chose not to get vaccinated could also receive pioneering medicaltreatment.11. What's the main idea of this passage？______A. David Bennett Sr.received a pig's heart transplant successfully.B. David Bennett Sr.has no right to get high-tech medical procedures.C. A patient with a violent criminal record got a breakthrough heart transplant.D. Health care providers shouldn't treat patients who have criminal records.DIt's a connected world,and nearly every device,appliance,and machine with some sort of computer running inside it can be connected to others through the Internet of Things（IoT）.What a great leap forward in this journey we call human civilization!But does this recent advancement come with a dark secret that can someday turn on us？Are smart devices spies around us？Many smart appliances today,particularly smartphones and virtual assistants are equipped with voice command capabilities.They can,therefore,listen to and record your comments and conversations even after they've carried out your original command.Concerns about devices turning on voice command by themselves and listening even when you do not enable the feature have also been raised.The question then is：What actually happens when your smart device is listening？How much information gets recorded,and where does this eventually end up in？Take a listening app called "Alphonso" as an example.You can't download it directly from the App Store,but it comes with some games and apps that you can fix.While you are playing games on your smartphone,Alphonso comes to life and listens to what you are watching on TV.It then records this information and sends it to some server somewhere,and the data is analyzed to build a profile about your TV-viewing habits.Alphonso proves that devices can listen to what you say and do.Now,what's to stop devices from gathering other data？They can be made to look at chat and text messages or your calendar,for example.Everything about you would be fair game.Some popular smart home platforms can control the platforms to fall silent but still remain active,capturing every word you speak that can potentially land you in some sort of phishing（网络欺诈）trouble.This seems to be the price we have to pay for the convenience that technology gives us.Privacy seems non-existent.So we should thus take steps to protect ourselves from this eventuality.12. What can we infer about IoT mentioned in paragraph 1？______A. People rely too much on IoT.B. IoT spies are exactly among us.C. IoT can be a double-edged sword.D. IoT merely comes with a dark secret.13. What is the potential risk associated with smart devices？______A. Voice command capabilities.B. Personal data and identity theft.C. Original command recognition.D. Location-based tracking function.14. Why does the author take "Alphonso" as an example？______A. To present how smart devices send ads.B. To introduce the advantage of voice commands.C. To show the usage of downloading listening app.D. To explain how hidden app steal people's privacy.15. Where dose the article go next？______A. Ways to prevent information leakage.B. Reasons for the loss of personal data.C. Tricks of obtaining sensitive information.D. Methods of interactions with technologies.When people read on a screen,they don't understand what they've read as well as when they read in print.Why？(1) .If a blueberry rolls under the refrigerator,you might straighten out a coat hanger and use it to reach under the fridge and pull out the fruit.You've taken a tool made for one thing and adapted it for something new.(2) .When we read online,the brain creates a different set of connections between cells from the ones it uses for reading in print.As a result,the brain might change into skim mode（略读模式）when you are reading on a screen,and it may switch to deep reading mode when you turn to print.(3) .One way mindset works is in assuming how easy or hard we expect the reading to be.If we think it will be easy,we might not put in much efforts.Much of what we read on a screen tends to be text messages and social media posts. (4) ，so when people read on a screen,they read faster.But when reading is fast,we may not absorb all the ideas as well as when we read in print.That fast reading can become a habit associated with reading on a screen.Imagine that you turn on your phone to read an assignment for school. (5) ，which is not helpful if you're trying to understand the themes in that classic book To Kill a Mockingbird.A.They're usually easy to understandB.Your brain might fire up the skim modeC.Your eyes don't just focus on the wordsD.That's what the brain does when you readE.It also depends on what you assume about the textF.The following example may help explain the reasonG.Speed isn't the only problem with reading on screens16.

I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wise they had places like min e—so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boy-friends over, talk on the phon e and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house, I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)？Joan Edward’s reply to JoanDear Joan:If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.

Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters- a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina's government protested the family's detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren't safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky's father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. Whenthe agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he'd learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky's cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France's Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. "I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths- I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color."4.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?A.To provide an apartment building for painters .B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.C.To make fake identities for all families.D.To train students to operate laboratories.5.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?A. He was sent to a concentration camp.B. He moved to live in Argentina.C. He was swiftly sent on to die.D. He protested his family's detention6.Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky ?A. Enthusiastic and gentle.B. Expressive and humble.C. Disciplined and modest.D. Courageous and helpful.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.COn January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance Wa（r 抗击新型肺炎战），the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.8.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because .A.children may be infected by virusB.they don’t like the idea of online learningC.children’s study may be affectedD.parents have no time to look after children9.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A.To keep playing online games.B.To keep touching different people.C.To do some physical exercise outside.D.To teach children about health knowledge.10.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.planB. stopC. growthD. change11.What’s the best title for this passage?A.ASpecial Way to Learn at HomeB.ANew War with a New ChangeC.AWay to Keep Mentally HealthyD.AMethod to Make Parents UnworriedDMoney might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.After harvesting, each piece is planned( 刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.12.The first paragraph mainly serves as .A. commentB. praiseC. introductionD. background13.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture .A. while serving as a gardenerB. while relaxing at homeC. w hile studying in CaliforniaD. when he grow up14.What plays a key role in growing furniture?A. Rich imagination.B. Perfect d esign.C. Large irrigation.D. Hard work.15.The passage is probably taken from .A. an essayB. a reportC. a novelD. a diary第⼆节（共5 ⼩题；每⼩题2 分，满分10 分）根据短⽂内容，从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

What motivated the author to start her writing career？______A. Her strong wish to share.B. Her keen interest in writing.C. Her urgent need to make a living.D. Her passionate desire for fame.42. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing？______A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D. She was unsure about her writing skills.43. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway？______A. In case the clock in her room broke down.B. In case she failed to hear the ringing.C. To force herself out of bed.D. To wake up her family.44. How did the author manage to finish her novel？______A. By sticking to writing every morning.B. By writing when her mind was most active.C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D. By reducing her teaching hours at school.45. What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career？______A. It is never too late to change your job.B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.SStudies have suggested early rising and success might be linked.People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities,which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job.Is getting up early for everyone？No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert （机敏的）in the morning,while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive （认知的）ability in the afternoon,for instance.So,if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway,you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course,people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with nontraditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day.Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact,depending on the person,it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep,don't do it.What should you do？Don't listen to thought-leaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times,as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all,it's getting adequate amounts of sleep.46. What is Paragraph 1 intended to tell us？______A. The early bird catches the worm.B. A good beginning makes a good ending.C. A thousand mile trip begins with one step.D. Constant dropping wears the stone.47. Why is getting up early unfit for everyone？______A. People have different cognitive ability.B. It disturbs working orders.C. Not all are in their best state in the morning.D. Few people have their top performance times.48. What does the author think of getting up early？______A. It can lead everyone to success.B. It has no negative effects.C. It means shortening the sleep time.D. It is less important than sleeping enough and well.49. Which of the following statements is true？______A. Everyone is suitable for getting up early.B. Getting up early will translate to instant success at the office.C. Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects.D. Getting a full night's sleep is of no importance.50. What do experts advise to do with the working time？______A. Follow the advisers' directions.B. Find out your own best time table.C. Sleep more and better than before.D. Use your energy averagely in a day.TStudents are sitting in a classroom at P. S. 54, a public elementary school in Brooklyn, New York. When their teacher, Adrienne Heim, strikes a bell, they take a deep breath.The kids are practicing mindfulness. That means they are learning to pay attention to the present moment. Why?Being mindful can help people stay calm and focused, according to Heim. She is the founder of Green Generations. The organization brings mindfulness classes to eight schools in New York City. Isafye Lewis, 10, has been taking in the class at P. S. 54 for two years. "Mindfulness teaches me to relax," he told TFK. "It really helps me feel better when I'm sad or angry."At P. S. 54, students practice mindfulness through deep breathing, movement, and relaxation exercises. But Heim says that mindfulness is about more than just staying calm. It also boosts confidence. "It helps children have a right attitude," She says, "so they can make healthy decisions." Recent research published in Developmental Psychology supports this view. The study also found that mindfulness training can help kids succeed in school. That's because it trains the brain to pay attention and manage stress."It doesn't solve math equations for kids," Mariam Gates, author of This Moment Is Your Life, told TFK. "But what mindfulness does for all of us is help us focus on the moment we're in, which is the only place we can learn, change, or grow."But you don't have to be in a classroom to practice mindfulness. Gates says, "You can always bring your attention to this moment and change how you experience it."51. Why do the students take a deep breath when the teacher strikes a bell?A. They are afraid of the teacher.B. They are practising mindfulness.C. They are taking an exam.D. They are having singing class.52. What does Isafye learn from mindfulness?A. How to take it easy.B. How to stay focused.C. How to stop being sad.D. How to get high grades.53. What does the underlined word "boosts" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. shakesB. studiesC. raisesD. requires54. What did Mariam Gates say about mindfulness?A. It does little to help kids' studies.B. It helps kids make decisions.C. It makes kids less stressful.D. It helps kids pay attention.55. What is this text mainly about?A. An organization centered on mindfulness.B. A new study on mindfulness.C. An introduction to mindfulness.D. The influences of mindfulness.56. During the years working in Peacekeeping Force（维和部队），I was sent abroad.As a senior analyst,my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long.Like all the old soldiers,we looked forward to receiving mails from home.We soldiers received many "To any service member" mails from the States.Those mails were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home,as an expression of support.I never took any of those letters,since I wrote to my wife on a daily basis,as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny's classroom,and I didn't feel I had time to write to anyone else. After five or fix months of hearing from the mail—announcing the availability of "To any service member" mail,I decided to take a few of the letters.Because I planned,as time permitted,to drop them a line telling them "Thanks" for their support.I picked up three letters,and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work.Over the next week or so,I started responding to the letters.When it came time to answer the third letter,I noticed it had no return address,but a California postmark,which made me think of home.I had missed spending Thanksgiving,Christmas and New Year's with my family. .I opened the card and started to read the letter attached,which was a short one.About the third or fourth sentence down,it read, "My daddy is a soldier over there,if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him." This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more.Looking down to the name of the sender,I sat in silence as tears filled my eyes.(1) Who will usually write "To any service member" mails？（No more than 8 words）______(2) Why did the author decide to answer some "To any service member" mails later？（No more than 10 words）______(3) What set the author missing his own family？（No more than 5 words）______(4) How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph4？（No more than 6 words）______(5) At the end of the story,why did the writer sit in silence and cry？Please explain. （No more than 20 words）______57. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。

The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!Butterflies are disappearingA new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years.

That helped me a lot.Then slowly I started to understand a few words and sometimes fifty percent of the songs I heard on the radio.I was a secondary school student at that time,so I had learned some English grammar.I want you to know that what was driving me is the love of that landuage.I studied English Literature in university, But I can speak native-like English not because I went to university; it came from hard work and self-study, I used to listen to native speakers of both British and American English almost all the time .I imitated(模仿)their pronunciation, and I practiced even with myself.I also chatted with English people on the Internet.Many of my college classmates couldn’t communicate in English though they were Enghlish Literature students and learned English for at least five hours a day.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution.

But this is no longer true.Man is slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must be careful of the rise in population at the same time.71. ____,Our world is becoming much smallerA.because of the rise in populationB.because science is developingC.because the earth is being polluted day and nightD.because the earth is blown away by the wind every year72.
