Public service campaigns have also tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones (21) ______ they are behind the wheel.Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which (22) ______ (fall) for years, are now rising sharply.That is partly (23) ______ people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said inattentive driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.”“Big change requires big ideas,” he said in a speech last month, (24) ______ (refer) broadly to the need to improve road safety. So (25) ______ (change) a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat (26) ______ (distract) driving like driving after consuming alcohol.An idea (27) ______ lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine (28) ______ a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws.“We need something on the books (29) ______ can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s ban on hand-held devices by drivers. “If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,” he said, “people are going to be (30) ______ (afraid) to put their hands on the cell phone.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

You may 31 pay attention to the architectural features of the building because you’re there to shop for food, not admire the layout.But that’s the point. If grocery stores had windows, would it be easier to ignore your main shopping task? There are all sorts of supermarket 32 grocery stores have to keep you shopping longer. It’s no 33 that grocery stores often lack windows and there are a few reasons behind this trend.One of them is a (n) 34 to keep people inside longer. Stores want to create a separate environmentwithin their store where the outside world doesn’t exist. In spite of the rain or sunshine, your attention remains 35 . The technique also prevents shoppers from noticing it’s getting dark out. It really 36 to an immersive (沉浸式的) shopping experience, for better or worse.Keeping daylight out of stores can help preserve the products, as some fresh produce can go bad faster in direct sunlight. Too much sun exposure can even cause packaging 37 to fade. Having windows in stores would also reduce the space 38 to display products. Not to mention, 39 with strong structural supports, outside walls can hold the heavier items on the shelves of those walls.Due to the high cost of constructing windows and storefronts, along with the potential security risks they probably 40 , retailers (零售商) choose to minimize the number of entry points into their space in order to cut expenses and improve safety.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.Social media can be a convenient way to extend your network, staying in touch with your grandma or sharing photos of your new puppy. 41 , social media can be terrible for your health. It’s our 42 of it that’s out of control.British evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar developed the idea that 150 people is the maximum number of meaningful connections anyone can have. You may have 800 friends on Wechat, but you’re not 43 them in person. Your QQ connections may be vast, but how many of them do you have 44 interactions with?If you’re using social media to feel more connected, a recent study published in the American Journal of Health Promotion suggests that it’s not 45 , and it also brought about unfavorable connections and even depression. Positive interactions on social media don’t help people feel 46 . Negative interactions, on the other hand, bring more feelings of sadness. The same goes for 47 , which social media encourages. Another study, published by the American Psychological Association, shows that comparing yourself to others through social media also produces 48 effects, leading to symptoms of depression.Reaching for your cell phone as a mental break is also a (n) 49 idea. Research by Rutgers University compared participants in the process of completing a task who took a break with their cell phones, with paper and pencils, and who took no break at all. Those who used their cell phones during their break solved 22% fewer problems and took 19% longer to complete their tasks than those under the other two 50 .So how should you 51 your social media usage?First, know your time and 52 of use. Use the tracking function on your device to find out how much you’re using it and what you’re using it for. After this, get away from your device unless you have to use it. Tough as it might be, turn off and tune into the world around you.Then, be in charge of your 53 , rather than let it be in charge of you. Your phone’s rings or vibrations (震动) don’t mean you must respond to them. Remind yourself that you’re in charge, not your device or the people on the other end of it who’ve just contacted you.Finally, consider using your device as a (n) 54 builder. Use your apps to find your friends and make your dinner reservation so you can catch up face-to-face in your favorite restaurant, where you’ll keep your phone out of sight.When you’re in control of your 55 , social media becomes a tool to enrich your life but not a distraction that makes you feel miserable.（）41．A．Moreover B．Therefore C．Nevertheless D．Likewise（）42．A．use B．reform C．ignorance D．range（）43．A．commenting on B．cooperating with C．competing with D．connecting with（）44．A．virtual B．meaningful C．constant D．complex（）45．A．automatic B．productive C．working D．appealing（）46．A．more confident B．more satisfied C．calmer D．happier（）47．A．comparison B．sharing C．connection D．variety（）48．A．instructive B．restrictive C．negative D．active（）49．A．widespread B．bad C．creative D．undervalued（）50．A．conditions B．assumptions C．influences D．developments（）51．A．reduce B．analyze C．manage D．track（）52．A．strategies B．boundaries C．efficiency D．purposes（）53．A．device B．schedule C．decision D．emotion（）54．A．knowledge B．character C．relationship D．confidence（）55．A．digital consumption B．personal interaction C．daily routine D．working habit Section BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)As midnight approaches in Svalbard, a young polar bear climbs onto an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temporary bed before falling asleep. This peaceful moment, capturing the essence of Earth’s delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, who won Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, which is decided by public vote.Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway’s Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals. He was finally rewarded with the sight of both an older and younger male shortly after his ship changed course. Sarikhani seized the chance to take a photo of the younger bear sleeping on the iceberg—a scene that not only awakens the bond between an animal and its habitat, but also the need to act on global challenges like climate change and habitat loss.These days, the sight of a lone polar bear on melting ice is a familiar symbol of the impact of climate change. But that is for a good reason: global warming is having a particularly rapid effect on the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that of the average around the world. Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young.Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn’t too late for polar bears. The image will be displayed in an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London, along with the competition’s four runners-up, until 30 June.（）56．Sarikhani’s journey in Svalbard can be described as ______.A．purposeful B．leisurely C．profit-driven D．research-led（）57．It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ______.A．polar bears are likely to die outB．the warming of the Arctic just beginsC．sea ice cover is vital for polar bears’ survivalD．polar bears are adapting well to climate change（）58．According to the last paragraph, what’s Sarikhani’s hope for the impact of his photo?A．To arouse people’s sadness for the scene.B．To motivate people to protect polar bears.C．To attract more visitors to the Arctic.D．To boost the popularity of the exhibition.（）59．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Svalbard’s quietness: Polar bears’ comfortable zoneB．Arctic adventure: Search for a dramatic landscapeC．Bearing witness: Polar bears’ shelter on melting iceD．Ice and isolation: A faraway natural wonder(B)Four Books Worth ReadingEntangled Life (Illustrated) by Merlin SheldrakeFollowing 2020’s real hit Entangled Life, biologist Sheldrake returns in time with an impressive illustrated edition. At over 240 pages, his passion and knowledge leaps off every spread. From the microscopic to the splendid, the colour images create an entertaining and charming experience.Anna Atkins: Cyanotypes by Peter WaltherOften copied, seldom improved on, the elegant prints of Anna Atkins are timeless. Atkins uses light-sensitive iron salt solution and exposure to sunlight to create beautiful Cyanotypes, pictures in a specific dark blue color. Walther’s book is comprehensive and perfect for Atkins fans or anyone keen to learn.The Earth in Our Hands by Thomas PesquetPesquet’s breathtaking collection of photographs captured from the International Space Station (ISS) follows in the footsteps of astronaut Don Pettit’s Spaceborne. Pesquet took more than 245,000 images over two missions, with his book including 200 of these. It is the closest most of us will get to being on the ISS—a deeply engaging read.Looking at Trees by Sophie HowarthThis absorbing book features 26 of the world’s leading photographers. From a photo of Hollywood juniper (杜松) in California to a dreamlike image of Halfway Gardens in South Africa, Howarth asks us to value trees at a time of environmental challenge. It’s a book you will return to.（）60．The four books can be classified into ______.A．art magazines B．photo books C．historical novels D．instruction books（）61．Which book is a remade version of a popular book?A．Entangled Life (Illustrated). B．Anna Atkins: Cyanotypes.C．The Earth in Our Hands. D．Looking at Trees.（）62．What can be learnt from the introduction of the four books?A．Looking at Trees mainly focuses on valuable trees.B．Don Pettit has joined space missions with Pesquet.C．Cyanotypes of Anna Atkins enjoy a high reputation.D．All the books introduced care about the environment.(C)Conventionally, being overweight is bad for health. This may not always be the case. The latest evidence comes from a study in which people classed as overweight, but not extremely fat, had a lower death rate within a certain period than people with a supposedly ideal weight. This suggests that the threshold (阈值) for classifying individuals as overweight may have been set too low.It is uncontroversial that being very heavy is bad for health, but it is unclear at what point health risks begin. Doctors usually ad vise people to lose weight if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is high, which is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. In most countries, a healthy weight is defined as a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9．Having a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is classed as overweight and 30 and above asextremely fat.Previous research made waves when it found that people whose BMI was somewhat over the “healthy” threshold of 25 may have a slightly lower death rate than slimmer individuals. But many of the studies are fairly old and were done when people were mostly slimmer, and subjects weren’t racially diverse, says Aayush Visaria, a researcher in New Jersey.To address those issues, Visaria tracked the survival of about 500,000 racially diverse US adults of known height and weight for up to 20 years. Having a BMI between 25 and 27.4 carried a 5 percent lower risk of death in this period than a BMI within the healthy category of 22.5 to 24.9. A slightly higher BMI, of 27.5 to 29.9, seemed even better, linked with a 7 percent lower risk of death.One criticism is that the apparent benefit of being overweight could be a misconception, as people who lose weight due to illness are more likely to die. However, in the new research, the pattern persisted even if people who died within two years of entering the study were ruled out from the figures.Visaria says it’s too early to conclude that having an “overweight” BMI outperforms being in the healthy category, because population studies may be prejudiced and lead to misinterpretation of the results. “We aren’t certain if this is truly interpretable,” he says. “A more appropriate message is that BMI isn’t a good indicator of death risk—other factors, like body fat distribution, also play a role.”（）63．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A．put forward a controversial issueB．discuss reasons for a lower death rateC．reveal a finding that questions a common beliefD．justify the traditional “overweight” threshold（）64．According to paragraph 3 and 4, Visaria resolved the limitations of previous research by ______. A．arriving at a more specific findingB．tracking the research for another 20 yearsC．calming down a wave of criticism from the crowdD．adopting a large, diverse sample over an extended period（）65．According to the passage, “the pattern” in paragraph 5 refers to ______.A．the misconception about the benefit of being overweightB．the increased likelihood of death for individuals losing weight due to illnessC．the changing perception of BMI classification over timeD．the lower risk of death for slightly heavier persons in a set time compared to slimmer ones（）66．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．Weight and blood pressure are two primary factors related to BMI.B．To accurately reflect someone’s health risk, a broader view is necessary.C．Visaria will continue to figure out a more scientific BMI threshold.D．Visaria is confident of the reliability of his research.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A．For example, they usually point at a box and say “open”.B．You should be mindful of the potential impact of gestures.C．Make fake gestures on certain occasions if necessary.D．Here are some tips that can help you take advantage of gestures.E．This can give you a way of seeing what others are thinking but not saying.F．Gesturing while learning will also help them solve the same problem in a new way.Tuning in to GesturesGesture gets its power in part from the fact that it is seldom noticed by the speaker or listener yet is easily understood and included in our conversations. The challenge is to use it to good effect. 67 Gesture more when you speak. It will help you learn and understand, and also think in a more abstract way. If you gesture while talking, you will remember more of what you have said. Do it while you are multitasking and it will lighten your mental load. What’s more, when you gesture, the people around you tend to do so too. 68 Encourage gestures in your children, students and anyone else you are trying to teach. This will help them understand the material you are conveying. 69 That is important because being able to generalise what we learn is essential to acquiring new knowledge.Pay attention to other people’s gestures. These offer a window into the thoughts that speakers have but don’t express in their words. These thoughts are often at the cutting-edge of their knowledge or address issues that are uppermost in their minds. Noticing and responding to such gestures will improve your interactions at home and at work.Observe the gesturing of infants (婴儿). While learning to talk, children typically convey sentence-like meanings in a combination of gesture and speech before using words alone. 70 If a child fails to produce these gesture-word combinations, it may be a sign that their spoken language development will be delayed, allowing you to intervene and help.IV．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.What Is a Superiority Complex?A superiority complex is a behavior that suggests a person believes they are somehow superior to others. People with this complex often have overstated opinions of themselves. They may believe their abilities and achievements are better than those of others. However, the complex is believed to be a defense system for feelings of inadequacy that we all struggle with.It is unclear why a person develops a superiority complex. Multiple incidents may be the root cause. For example, it may be the result of many failures. A person tries to complete a specific goal or achieve a desired outcome, but they don’t succeed. They learn to handle the anxiety and stress of the failure by pretending to be above it. If they feel protected from their failures in this way, they may repeat this behavior in the future.These behaviors can begin at an early age. When a child is learning to cope with challenges, they may learn to control feelings of inadequacy or fear. A superiority complex may develop. Likewise, it may also happen later in life. As teens and adults, a person has many opportunities to try new things among new people. If these situations are not successfully coped with, a person may develop a superiority complex to overcome feeling isolated.People with a superiority complex are unlikely to be a threat to anyone’s physical health. However, the continuous lies and overstatements can become annoying to others and may negatively affect relationships. It can push away other people in your life and shrink your social circle. If you are in a relationship with a person who you think has the issue, encourage the person to seek help. For example, never hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals. They can find healthier ways to deal with hidden feelings.V．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72．检查过程中未发现任何机器损坏。

北京清华附中2023年高二英语期末考试真题及答案
北京清华附中2023年高二英语期末考试真题及答案考试题目：阅读理解第一篇AThe modern workplace can be a stressful environment, and stress can have serious negative impacts on both employees and their productivity. So how can employers effectively manage workplace stress?One common approach is to provide employees with access to stress reduction resources and activities. This can include things like yoga classes or onsite gyms, which provide physical outlets for stress. Additionally, some employers offer counseling services or workshops to help employees develop coping mechanisms for stress.Another effective method is to establish an open line of communication between management and employees. Managers who listen to their employees' concerns and address them in a timely manner can prevent stress from escalating. Regular check-ins and performance reviews can also provide opportunities for employees to discuss any sources of stress they may be facing.Flexible work arrangements can also help manage workplace stress. Allowing employees to have control over their schedules or work remotely can reduce stress caused by long commutes or conflicting personal and professional responsibilities.Lastly, employers can promote work-life balance. Encouraging employees to take regular breaks, use their vacation time, and prioritize self-care can prevent burnout and improve overall well-being.Overall, managing workplace stress requires a combination of resources, communication, flexibility, and a supportive work culture. By implementing these strategies, employers can create a healthier and more productive work environment.BYou may have heard the saying "laughter is the best medicine," and it turns out that it can also be a powerful stress relief tool. Laughter has been shown to reduce stress hormones, increase the production of feel-good endorphins, and improve overall mood.To incorporate laughter into the workplace, employers can consider hosting team-building activities or social events that encourage laughter and create a positive atmosphere. This can include things like comedy nights or office games that promote fun and laughter.Humor can also be integrated into daily work interactions. Encouraging employees to share funny stories or jokes can help lighten the mood and reduce tension. However, it is important to ensure that humor is appropriate and inclusive.Additionally, employers can provide access to humorous materials, such as funny videos or books, in designated break areas. This allows employees to take a mental break and engage in laughter-inducing activities during their downtime.Furthermore, leaders can set the tone by incorporating humor into their own communication and interactions. When leaders demonstrate a positive and lighthearted attitude, it can create an environment where employees feel more comfortable expressing themselves and experiencing joy at work.In conclusion, laughter can be a simple yet effective tool for managing workplace stress. By creating opportunities for laughter and humor, employers can promote a healthier and more enjoyable work environment for their employees.第二篇CIn recent years, social media has become an increasingly popular platform for individuals to express themselves and share their thoughts and experiences. However, the rise of social media has also raised concerns about the impact it can have on mental health.Constant exposure to carefully curated images and updates from others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Comparing oneself to others based on their online presence can be damaging to mental well-being. Additionally, the fear of missing out (FOMO) can contribute to anxiety and stress.Moreover, social media can create a sense of isolation even when individuals are connected to hundreds or thousands of friends. Online interactions often lack the depth and authenticity of face-to-face communication, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection.Furthermore, excessive time spent on social media can contribute to decreased productivity and poor focus. The constant pull of notifications and the need to constantly check and update profiles can be highly distracting and detrimental to one's ability to concentrate on tasks.To maintain positive mental health in the age of social media, it is important to establish healthy boundaries and habits. This includes limiting the amount of time spent on social media, unfollowing accounts that trigger negative emotions, and focusing on cultivating genuine connections offline.Additionally, individuals can engage in activities that promote self-care and well-being, such as exercise, hobbies, and spending quality time with loved ones. These activities can help counteract the negative effects of social media and promote a balanced and fulfilling life.In conclusion, while social media can provide opportunities for self-expression and connection, it is important to be mindful of its potential impact on mental health. By adopting healthy habits and establishing boundaries, individuals can navigate the digital world in a way that promotes positive well-being.DThe global COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges and changes to the education system. Schools around the world have had to adapt quickly to remote learning and ensure that students continue to receive quality education.One of the main challenges of remote learning is the lack of face-to-face interaction between students and teachers. This can make it difficult forstudents to ask questions, seek clarification, and engage in discussions. To address this, schools have implemented virtual classrooms and video conferencing platforms, which allow for real-time interaction and collaboration.Another challenge is the digital divide, where not all students have equal access to technology and internet connectivity. To bridge this gap, schools have provided devices and internet access to students in need. Additionally, teachers have modified their teaching methods to accommodate different learning environments and capabilities.Maintaining student motivation and engagement is also a concern in remote learning. Without the structure and social support of the physical classroom, some students may struggle to stay focused and motivated. To combat this, teachers have employed various strategies such as interactive online activities, frequent check-ins, and individualized feedback.Furthermore, the well-being of students has become a top priority. Schools have increased mental health support services and implemented wellness programs to help students cope with the challenges brought on by the pandemic.In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated rapid changes in the education system. Although remote learning poses challenges, schools have taken proactive measures to ensure that students continue to receive education in a supportive and engaging manner.答案：1. 第一篇的主要方法是提供员工压力减轻的资源和活动，建立管理层与员工之间的沟通渠道，提供灵活的工作安排以及促进工作与生活的平衡。

Speak，speak，speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes，you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!（）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. （）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. （）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary（）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （及时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.（）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it（）51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.（）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable （）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”（）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless（）55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use（）56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible（）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.（）58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on（）59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement（）60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we havethat spirit of the Chinese Wom en’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in timesof difficulty（）61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readingswhen you come to important ideas which must be remembered.（）62.

Not until Jack came to and found himself and his belongings in an emergency room did he learn that the lady had contacted his family and quietly left. Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed forthe lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what wa s going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely… and thanks for your help. Otherwise…” Jack choked, ashamed and grateful. “Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Everyt hing will change for the better. I have faith in you,” she comforted the young man affectionately.

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. "I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organized the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.Yousafzai praised Rahman's work during the ceremony.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

When we all sat down to eat, my friend’s wife wolfed down her supper and then disappeared into another room to do some work. He smiled and said, “Sunday nights are the new Monday mornings around here.”I was surprised at the time. Now, I find myself (21)________ (behave) in exactly the same manner. Every time I open up my calendar on Sunday evening, a subtle sense of dread comes over me. I feel (22)________ ________ I am behind before the week has even begun.Apparently, my Sunday-night anxieties and Monday-morning blues are not unique to me alone. A new study led by Ilke Inceoglu from the University of Exeter found that this phenomenon often takes the form of mental concerns about the week ahead, as well as feelings of nervousness and difficulty with sleeping. “It’s as if your mind moves away from (23)________ has been experienced over the weekend as the general sense of relaxation or enjoyment, and quickly shifts towards whatever worries you have about everything you’ve got to do in the work week ahead,” said one of Inceoglu’s respondents.Inceoglu found that these Sunday scaries were particularly pronounced (24)________ people who frequently checked their emails during the weekend, had tasks left over from the previous week, and had unreasonably high expectations of themselves. These matters seem (25)________(make) worse as a result of the pandemic, where the rise of working from home (26)________(blur) the boundaries between work and leisure.What should we do about the “Sunday scaries”? Researchers have offered some useful suggestions that(27)________ help us make Monday less depressing. One is to change (28)________ you think about the weekend. One U.S. study found that when participants were asked to treat their weekend as a mini-vacation, they tended to do more cheerful activities and returned to work on Monday satisfied with their jobs. (29)________ second way is to redesign our Monday so that it has some of the features that make us feel good during the weekend. Introducing simple changes, such as starting the day with something you are good at, setting aside a little unstructured time where you are able to do what you want, or setting up a lunchtime date with (30)________ you find enjoyable to be around, could make all the difference.Section B（单选）Directions: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.For centuries, people have described unusual animal behavior just ahead of seismic(地震的) events: dogs barking endlessly, cows halting their milk, toads leaping from ponds. A few researchers have tried to prove a link, but most such attempts have relied largely on anecdotes and single (31)________.Now researchers at the University of Konstanz, along with a multinational team of colleagues, say they have managed to (32)________ measure increased activity in a group of farm animals prior to seismic activity. During separate periods (33)________ about four months in 2016 and 2017, the researchers (34)________ these highly sensitive biologgers and GPS sensors, which can record accelerated movements in any direction, to six cows, five sheep and two dogs living on a farm in an earthquake-prone area of northern Italy to keep track of the activities andthe nervousness of animals. “Only now can we do continuous biologging,” says study co-author Martin Wikelski. “Because the (35)________ possibilities are finally there.”The paper’s statistical analysis showed animals’ activity significantly increased before magnitude 3.8 or greater earthquakes when they were housed together in a stable—but not when they were out to pasture(吃草). Wikelski says this difference could be linked to the increased stress some animals feel in (36)________ spaces. Analyzing the increased movements as a whole, the researchers claim, showed a clear signal of (37)________ behavior hours ahead of tremors.Besides, it showed that the farm animals appeared to anticipate quakes anywhere from one to 20 hours ahead, reacting earlier when they were closer to the origin and later when they were farther away. This finding is(38)________ with a hypothesis that animals somehow sense a signal that spreads outward. It holds that in the days before an earthquake, shifting tectonic plates(地壳板块) squeeze rocks along a fault line, causing the rocks to release minerals that force ions into the air, and then the animals react to this novel (39)________.Not involved with the new study, Wendy Bohon, a geologist from Washington, D.C., is (40)________ of the air ionization idea. Heiko Woith, a geologist at GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, says the time frame was still too short and points out that limited data collection in many studies makes it impossible to determine whether a measured signal was related to a quake or was simply noise.III. Reading Comprehension (1’*15+2’*11+2’*4=45’)Section A (单选)Directions: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.You May Need a Few Minutes of Brisk Activity jog around the block... Which ones would best help or hurt your brain? A recent study attempted to Walking from room to room, running up and down stairs to deliver folded laundry, or taking a answer that question by strapping(绑上) activity monitors to the thighs of nearly 4,500 people in the United Kingdom and (41)________ their 24-hour movements for seven days. Researchers then examined how participants’ behavior affected their short-term memory, problem-solving and processing skills.Here’s the good news. People who spent “even small amounts of time in more vigorous activities—as little as six to nine minutes—compared to sitting, sleeping or. gentle activities had(42)________ cognition scores,” said study author John Mitchell.Moderate physical activity is (43)________ defined as brisk walking or bicycling or running up and down stairs. Vigorous movement (44)________ dancing, jogging, running, swimming to biking up a hill—basically any activity that is able to (45)________ your heart rate and breathing.The study found that doing just under 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) each day led to (46)________ in study participants’ working memory. In addition, 10 minutes of MVPA had its biggest impact on executive processes such as (47)________and organization.The cognitive improvement was (48)________, but the research found that the benefits grew the more time a person spent (49)________in the activity of an energetic workout, Mitchell said.“Now that we don’t monitor participants’ cognition over the course of many years, the results of this study may simply be telling us that those individuals who move more tend to have higher cognition on average,” he said. “While on theother hand, the results do also imply that even making (50)________ changes to our daily lives can have(51)________ consequences for our cognition.”There was bad news as well. Spending more time sleeping, sitting or engaged only in mild movement was linked to a negative impact on the brain. The study found cognition declined 1% to 2% after replacing an (52)________ portion of MVPA with eight minutes of sedentary (久坐的) behavior, six minutes of light intensity or seven minutes of sleep.Additional studies need to be done to (53)________ these findings and to better understand the role that each type of activity plays (54)________ our cognitive abilities. However, Mitchell said, the study “highlights how even very modest differences in people’s daily movements—less than 10 minutes—can be linked to the (55)________of quite real changes to our cognitive health.”41. A. modifying B. tricking C. clarifying D. tracking42. A. lower B. higher C. smaller D. bigger43. A. typically B. previously C. barely D. absolutely44.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Brenda Thomas’s heart became a shell when her 21-year-old son died in a motorcycle accident in September 2019, only one week into his senior year of college. But she has found something that helps her to deal with her grief.She keeps “acts of kindness” cards in honor of her son. These folded pieces of paper are tucked in her purse at all times and always stored in the glove compartment of her car. Whenever she does a good deed for a stranger—which is about once a week—she passes along a card with a message written on it: “If you receive this card, then you must be a recipient of a random act of kindness.” At the top of each note is her son’s name, Trevor Paul Thomas.Trevor was an athlete who played baseball at Allegany College of Maryland and Penn State Fayette. He was a loyal friend and a force for good, with a witty sense of humor and a big smile. According to his mother, one ofTrevor’s best qualities was his compassion for others, no matter how well he knew them. He regularly shoveled(铲) snow off the driveways of older neighbors, delivered hot meals to those in need, and befriended classmates who struggled to fit in. It seemed a natural fit to launch a kindness campaign in his memory.The Thomas family adopted the “acts of kindness” cards to mark what would have been Trevor’s 23 birthday. They hoped that these cards would encourage people to do a good deed as part of Trevor’s legacy. On each card, they included a mantra (箴言) that the family said best describes the way Trevor had lived his life: “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody.”Recently, while dining with her daughter Whitney in a restaurant, Brenda decided to pay for the meal of a mother and two children. The recipient of Brenda’s spontaneous (发自内心的) gift was Liana Arruda. She was taking her nine-year-old son and his five-year-old sister for dinner. She felt shocked and moved after the waitress handed her the card. She used it as an opportunity to teach her children about compassion and is now brainstorming ways to pass on the goodness. “I’m waiting to find the perfect opportunity,” she said. “I want it to matter, because it mattered to me.”For the Thomas family, while there is still—and forever will be—a massive void(空虚感) in their lives without Trevor, committing to “living like him” has helped them turn their pain into purpose. “We’ll keep paying it forward in Trevor’s honor because it would make him so proud,” said Brenda.56. Trevor Paul can be best described asA. ambitious, witty and optimisticB. sympathetic, humorous and warmheartedC. faithful, passionate and competitiveD. compassionate, persistent and rigorous57. According to the context, the sentence “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody.”(P4) can be best illustrated by ________________.A. Do as Romans do.B. Serve others to be popular.C. Influence others with what you do.D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.58. Which of the following statements is TURE?A. Trevor would have graduated from university within one year but for the accident.B. Every time Brenda does a good deed for others, they’ll receive an anonymous card.C. Liana was astonished and touched because her two children gave her the gift spontaneously.D. Liana has found a perfect opportunity to pass on the goodness and teach her children about compassion.59. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Your pain can be turned into purpose to push you forward.B. Compassion means standing in others shoes.C. Void can be replaced with satisfaction by “living like him”.D. Committing to “following his way” is a good way to honor somebody.(B)60. According to the poster above, which groups of items will be the best for the Pearson family (father with chronic disease, mother, a 10-month-old infant, and a pet dog) to pack into their limited-size emergency supplies kit besides necessities such as food, water and clothes?A. passport, paper cups, whistle, rain gear, flashlightsB. formula, blanket, medication, diapers, pet foodC. pet food, cotton t-shirt, plastic sheeting, booksD. medication, bank account records, diaper, can opener, formula61. According to the poster, why is it advisable for children to have a personal pack?A. To provide more appropriate protection.B. To create a sense of security and familiarity.C. To make them feel more physically comfortable.D. To simulate a seemingly school-like environment.62. Which is TRUE about suggestions given in the poster?A. Families should adjust the contents of the emergency supplies kit every other year based on needs.B. There are no specific items in the poster that address the needs in different natural disasters.C. All of the supplies in the emergency kit should not be stored in waterproof and portable containers.D. Children should not be allowed to include their favorites books and stuffed animals in the kit.(C)When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, toiling away in a typical existence?Many scholars agree that a subjectively meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in the grand scheme of things. Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose and existential mattering.But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s inherent beauty.We recently set out to better understand this form of appreciation in a series of studies, published in Nature Human Behaviour, that involved more than 3,000 participants. Across these studies, we were interested in whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning even when we accounted for the effects of the classic trio of coherence, purpose and existential mattering. If so, experiential appreciation could be a unique contributor to meaningfulness and not simply a product of these other variables.As an initial test of our idea, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we had participants rate their endorsement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the next study, we asked participants to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” as well as other statement related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their existence was valuable. In fact, these two elements related strongly to each other even when we controlled for other aspects of a meaningful life.Finally, we conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, mattering, etc.. The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, andwe attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday.63. What factor accounts for the life meaning of ordinary people besides coherence, purpose and existential mattering?A. Contribution.B. Possession.C. Experiential appreciation.D. Inherent beauty.64. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. Experiential appreciation is a product of existential mattering.B. Focusing on future outcome can help maximize output.C. The following experiments in the study are opposed to the result of the initial test.D. We’d better appreciate small things in daily life despite the fast-paced lifestyles.65. The underlined word “endorsement”(PSL2) is closest in meaning to ____________.A. enjoymentB. approvalC. rejectionD. comment66. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?A. During the COVID pandemic, it’s difficult to find coping strategies to relieve stress.B. Maximizing output motivates people to catch what is happening right now.C. Appreciating life and its experiences can enhance the feeling of valuable existence.D. In modern society, it’s common practice to appreciate small things to make life more meaningful.Section C（单选）Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.“TALKING with you for one night is better than studying books for ten years” this was the comment of an old Chinese scholar after he had had a conversation with a friend. (67)__________________ And today the phrase “a night’s talk” has become a current expression for a happy conversation with a friend at night, either past or expected. Such a supreme pleasure as having a perfect conversation with a friend at night is necessarily rare, for as the playwright Li Liweng has pointed out, (68) “__________________” The discovery of a man up in a mountain temple, who really understands life and at the same time understands the art of conversation, must therefore be one of the keenest pleasures, like the discovery of a new planet by an astronomer or of a new variety of plant by a botanist.There is an evident distinction between mere talking and conversation as such. This distinction is made in the Chinese language between shuohua (speaking) and tanhua (conversation), which implies that in conversation the language used is more chatty and leisurely and the topics more trivial and less business like.(69)__________________We can discuss business with almost any person, but there are very few people with whom we can truly hold a night’s conversation. Hence, when we do find a true conversationalist, the pleasure is equal to, if not above, that of reading a delightful author, with the additional pleasure of hearing his voice and seeing his gestures.Sometimes we find it at the happy reunion of old friends, or among acquaintances indulging in good memories, and sometimes among strangers on a distant journey. There will be chats about ghosts and fox spirits, mixed with amusing tales or impassioned(激昂的) comments: on international affairs, and sometimes before we know it, a wise observer and conversationalist may shed light on things that have bothered you for a long time.(70)__________________IV. Summary Writing (简答10)Directions: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.71.Why You Need a Network of Casual FriendsWhen I was laid off in 2015, I tweeted it the way any young people would in the hope that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities. To my surprise, a friend of a friend alerted me to an opening in her department by Facebook message, and she became my boss three rounds of interviews later.Think of the parents you see in the drop-off zone at school, your favorite waiter, the other dog owners at the park. Sociologists call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects, but they can also have a positive impact on our well-being.Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more connected. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety. But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have peaks and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities shift from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social calendar becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.Besides, having at least a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say, for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who widen thejob-search playing field.Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others’ circumstances. This, in turn, builds empathy.Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life—discovering that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance—can spice up your day.So next time you see a friendly face when you’ re out and about, you might as well try to initiate small talks.V.

高二英语期末试题一，阅读理解（60分）AIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start usingthem again, they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows that. Yet many people do notseem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a goodmemory, he really means that he keeps his memoryin practice by using it. When someone else says thathis me mory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fa ult. Butif he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his par ents are to blame (受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have bettermemories? This is because they cannot read or write them down in a little notebook. They haveto remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time beingexercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering.1.The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _________.A.his father or mother may have a poor memoryB.he does not use his arms or legs for some timeC.his memory is not often usedD.he can’t read or write2.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ______.A. you can’t use them any moreB. they will become strongerC. they become weak but they slowly become strong againD. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again3.Which of the following in NOT true?A.Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.B.Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give itenough chance forpractice.C.Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.D.A good memory comes from more practice.4.Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because ______.A. they have saved much troubleB. they have saved much time to remember thingsC. they have to use their memories all the timeD. they can’t write everything in a little notebook5.The best title for this passage _________.A.Don’t Stop Using Your Arms Or LegsB.How To Have A Good MemoryC.Strong Arms And Good MemoryD.Learn From The PeopleBThe first ancient Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BC. Coroebus won the only event at the Olympics. This made him the first Olympic champion in history. Then the Olympic Games developed and continued to be held every four years. In 393 AD, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, put a stop to the Games.In 1892, a young Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin suggested starting the Olympic Games again but failed. Two years later, Coubertin organized a meeting with 79 people representing nine countries. At this meeting he got what he wanted. All the delegates at the meeting voted for the Olympic Games. They also decided to have Coubertin found an international committee (委员会) to organize the Games. This committee became the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Demetrious Vikelas from Greece was chosen to be its first president. Athens was chosen for the revival (复兴) of the Olympic Games and the planning began.The first modern Olympic Games opened in the first week of April, 1896. Since the Greek government didn’t have enough money to build a stadium, a wealthy Greek man, Georgios Averoff, donated over $100,000 to repair the Panathenaic Stadium built in 330 BC.Since the Games were not well publicized (宣传) internationally, athletes were not nationally chosen but rather came by themselves. Some athletes were tourists who happened to be in the area during the Games.6 :What can we know about the first Olympic Games?A．There was only one event in it.B．It opened in the first week of April 1896.C．Coroebus was the first man to take part in it.D．It was stopped by the Roman Emperor Theodosius I.7 :Coubertin made his dream come true in ________.A．776 B．1892 C．1894 D．18968 :Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?a. Coubertin first brought forward his idea to start the Olympic Games.b. Demetrious from Greece was selected as the first president of IOC.c. Coroebus became the first Olympic champion.d. Georgios donated money to repair the Panathenaic Stadium.A. acdbB. cabdC. bdacD. dcba9 :The best title for the passage would be ________.A．The History of the OlympicsB．How Coubertin Set up IOCC．The First Modern Olympic GamesD．Great Changes in Olympic GamesCMy house is made of wood, glass and stone. It is also made of software (软件).If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份证号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside , the PIN turns on the lights nearest you , and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music , it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call , only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie,you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys,you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years later, most new homes will have the systems (系统) that I've put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead,"How did I live without them?"11. The writer's house is NOT made of _____.A. metalB. woodC. glassD. software12. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function (功能) of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.13. What's the purpose (目的) when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To let readers know how special his- house is.14. The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.A. it has your favorite music following youB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. the writer is able to change his new idea into practiceD. it has been controlled by computers.15. What does the last sentence mean?A. The writer won't invent new things.B. The writer hopes the systems will become part of everyday life in the future.C. The writer can't live without his systems in his house.D. The writer hopes that he will be able to come up with more new ideas in the future.DThe mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake.She wascovered by a destroyed house.Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins,the rescuers could seeher last posture (姿势)．It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing(叩头),but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins.They shouted at the ruins again and again,knocked the bricks using various tools,but no replyinside.Then the rescuing team went to the next building.Suddenly the leader ran back,calling "Come here."
