2022-2023学年四川省高一下学期期末考试英语试卷一、阅读理解On a rainy afternoon, maybe one of the following books will keep you company leisurely, allowing you to spend your time alone as well as stepping into a different world.Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets,by Patricio PronIn April 1945, Italy, a writer disappeared at a conference and was found dead at another place. Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics.When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul KalanithiAt thirty-six, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient. This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question “What makes a life worth living?”.To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper LeeSet in a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of committing a crime.Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story by Bess Kalb Bess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women. They include Bobby’s mother, who traveled alone from Belarus to America to survive, and Bess’s mother, who always fought against convention.1.Which book is about the author’s own story?A.To Kill a Mockingbird.B.When Breath Becomes Air.C.Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets.D.Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story.2.Who is the main character in the last novel?A.Bobby Bell. B.Bess Kalb. C.Bess’s mother. D.Bobby’s mother.3.In which section of a newspaper can we read the text? A.Advertisement. B.Opinion. C.Lifestyle. D.Science.My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts. At one point, two women quarreled for several minutes in the freezer section.Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man's discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting on purpose and began to argue.Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who took him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. My reaction when I see them is both personal and professional. I am a data analyst and sociologist who studies how and why people interact with one another--or why they choose not to. To me, the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has disappeared. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith — starting with just one person.Therefore, my wife and I reached the disturbed cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. We learned her name was Beth.“We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.”I said.Beth’s face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States.You can start that pattern in someone else's life , even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.4.By describing the arguments, the author wants to show________.A.the job as a cashier is not easy. B.people in the U.S are unfriendly. C.arguments in public are very common. D.confidence in each other has worn off.5.How did Beth probably feel when the couple gave her a bottle of water? A.Sad and regretful. B.Sorry and embarrassed. C.Cheerful and rewarded. D.Grateful and relieved.6.What's author's attitude towards Americans' regaining trust? A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic. C.Uncaring D.Cautious 7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Miserable Cashier. B.A Helping Hand.C.Learning to Trust Again. D.Starting a new life.Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity(圈养), they can be trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. In a recent study of cetaceans(鲸目动物)—a group of animals that includes dolphins and whales—researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species, reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry(模仿) and even care for each other’s children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.“There is the saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,” Michael Muthukrishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The study suggests that dolphins might even gossip. That’s because some species greet each other with specific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn’t there. Could they be speaking about their “friend” behindits back?For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis(假设),” it had only been used to explain the intelligence of humans and other primates(灵长目动物). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among biologically different species.“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different in their structure but have brought us to the same patterns in behavior,” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’t have to look at other planets to look for aliens,”Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing species with so many parallels to us in their complex behaviors.”8.The possible meaning of the underlined word “gossip” in Para. 4 is ________. A.singing B.chatting C.greeting D.arguing 9.The recent study was intended to ________.A.learn more about intelligent creatures of the seaB.explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceansC.create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean species D.see whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way 10.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beingsB.it is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into themC.both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistlesD.both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors 11.What is the best title for this passage?A.Aliens living underwaterB.A study of intelligent dolphinsC.Intelligent creatures of the seaD.Reasons for the intelligence of sea creaturesI’m rather good at using maps. But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of vacation, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown, river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticisms: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and on and on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, text messaging a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.Just then-WOW! Amazing! A new scene had appeared. Where did it come from?Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purples, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk (黄昏). I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器) take care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?12.Which of the following might be the destination of the author’s driving? A.A vacation spot. B.Her own home.C.A tourist centre. D.Her cousin’s farm.13.What made the author keep blaming herself in the beginning?A.That the vacation was below her expectations.B.That she wasn’t as good at using maps as before.C.That lack of full preparations got her to lose her way.D.That her cousin and daughter couldn’t get along.14.The author felt really amazed because _________.A.she discovered a tourist spot unknown to the publicB.her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasureC.she unintentionally reached what she had planned toD.the right route (路线) to her destination came out of nowhere15.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Stay cool when you are trapped in trouble.B.Make a change for the purpose of survival.C.Be positive because there's always an alternative (choice).D.Slow down your paces to enjoy beauty in life.二、七选五Tips for Upcoming Senior TwoThe upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. 16●Manage your time carefully and make the most of it.Try to study not only hard but efficiently. Make a to-do-list for your time after school. Don’t just spend quite a long time on only one subject, especiallya science subject. 17 Remember to take breaks when you feel exhausted.●Treat competition in class in a right way.Competition cannot be avoided, but everyone wants to study and live in a friendly environment. Don’t treat your classmates as potential enemies. 18 By helping others solve problems, you inspire others, consolidate your own knowledge and gain lasting friendship.● 19Don’t let your former rankings limit you. What really matters is how you treat exams and rankings. Forget the class or grade rankings, but compete with yourself. In a while, you will see yourself climbing in scores and rankings.All in all, the coming new school year is sure to be full of challenges. Too much worry only adds to your difficulties in your development. 20 Wish you the best of luck in the new academic year in No.7 High!A.Treat yourself as the rival.B.Have a right attitude towards your rankings.C.However,rearrange your time table is of great importance.D.Instead,divide the hours into small periods for different subjects.E.So when they turn to you for help,just share your wisdom generously.F.If you keep my advice in mind,you will achieve a lot and lead a happy life.G.When you prepare for the upcoming challenges,some advice from me may be helpful.三、完形填空My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old,21.A.cleaning B.shining C.removing D.keeping 22.A.why B.what C.how D.when23.A.offer B.refuse C.love D.learn 24.A.interested B.annoyed C.relaxed D.satisfied 25.A.fun B.pride C.trouble D.effort 26.A.got it right B.kept it a rule C.took it for granted D.made it clear 27.A.standards B.needs C.challenges D.situations 28.A.family B.workers C.customers D.friends 29.A.always B.never C.seldom D.ever 30.A.ordering B.asking C.requiring D.advising 31.A.at B.before C.for D.around 32.A.worked out B.found out C.put out D.thought out 33.A.alone B.away C.outside D.off34.A.usual B.last C.next D.first 35.A.washing B.taking C.cleaning D.moving 36.A.ignore B.follow C.believe D.understand 37.A.matter B.care C.go D.happen38.A.no B.other C.some D.another 39.A.team B.family C.leader D.restaurant 40.A.why B.whether C.when D.how四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

It has been a birthday gift for my husband for 10 years. It all began because my husband Mike hated the commercial aspects of celebrating birthday. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to stop buying the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended. There was once a match against a team called Power, sponsored (赞助) by an inner city charity.As the match began, I was surprised to see that team members of Power were wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler’s ears. It was a luxury the team obviously couldn’t afford. Well, we ended up beating them. And as each of their boys got up from the ground, he walked around with a kind of street pride that couldn’t acknowledge defeat.Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved kids — all kids. He understood kids in competitive situations, having coached little league football, baseball and basketball. That’s when the idea for his present suddenly occurred.That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store, bought varieties of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them secretly to the inner city charity. On his birthday, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me.4.What is the author aimed at in paragraph 1?A.Introducing the author’s husband, Mike.B.Describing the appearance of the envelope.C.Explaining the significance of the envelope.D.Bringing out the reason of seeing the envelope as a birthday gift.5.What could we learn about the match from the text?A.The team Power lacked protective headgear.B.The author’s husband thought highly of the match.C.The author’s son Kevin was a professional wrestler.D.The team Power accepted the outcome of the match willingly.6.How did Mike react when Power failed?A.He felt indifferent for the team’s failure.B.He thought they didn’t have the ability to win.C.He admired their street pride despite the defeat.D.He believed it would discourage the boys’ spirit.7.What does the “envelope” symbolize?A.The author’s dissatisfaction with traditional birthday gifts.B.The author’s love and thoughtfulness towards her husband.C.The author’s desire to keep the gift hidden until the last moment.D.The author’s attempt to remind her husband of his coaching days.Traditionally, filmmaking has been seen as a domain (领域) limited to professional teams led by experienced directors or wealthy individuals. However, with the help of AI-generated content (AIGC), ordinary people are now ab le to produce brilliant films and even receive awards at a film festival.This year, the 14th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) introduced the AIGC Short Film Unit for the first time. From January to April, the committee received 430 films from both domestic and international creators. Impressively,45 percent of the total submissions (提交) were from independent creators, with the youngest being just 11 years old, while professionals accounted for only 10.7 percent.“AIGC is changing the film industry by allowing ordinary people to create films,” stated Wang Lei. Wang Zimin, a 29- year- old journalism major, won the Best Creative Award with his film Illegal Report. In his film, a special group decides whether beings are considered as AI or human to prevent chaos.A significant challenge in AIGC filmmaking is shot continuity because many AIGC applications can only produce random video clips based on users’ order. As a result, charactersoften appear differently in following scenes. Wang Zimin explained his innovative solution: “To maintain continuity, I used unclear images to make the scenes smooth.” He added, “I dug into AI applications for just two months. AIGC tools are everywhere and user- friendly like Meitu.”According to Song Donghuan, a scriptwriter and founder of StoryStorm, a leading AIGC workshop, “AIGC filmmaking is accessible to everyone, with no barriers related to wealth or technology. The essential requirement is a strong desire to express themselves.”Song also highlighted the transformative impact of AI: “We are fortunate to live in the era of AL Now, the only limit to becoming a director is not the absence of a team, scenes or actors, but rather your own imagination.”8.What can we know about the AIGC Short Film Unit at the 14th BJIFF?A.Chinese creators contributed to half of the films.B.Only 10.7 percent of the films were well- received.C.Most of the entries were made by non- professionals.D.Individuals age under 18 were disqualified to submit films.9.What is one problem of using AIGC to make films according to the text?A.Unclear images at certain scenes.B.Lack of continuity between scenes.C.The limited AIGC tools in filmmaking.D.High costs for independent filmmakers. 10.Which is closest in meaning to “transformative” in the last paragraph?A.Short- termed.B.Negative.C.Predictable.D.Ground- breaking. 11.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.The Rise of Independent Filmmakers.B.Wang Zimin: A Rising Star in the Film Industry.C.A Revolutionary Era in Filmmaking: The Role of AI.D.The Development of Beijing International Film Festival.Over 8,300 million tons of plastic produced up to the end of 2023, 6, 300 million tons have been thrown away. Most of that plastic waste is still with us, buried in landfills or polluting the environment. Microplastics have been found in Antarctic sea ice, in the guts of animals that live in the deepest ocean and in drinking water around the world.But what if we could wave a magic stick and remove all plastics from our lives? It mightseem like a good idea for the planet, but we’d soon find out how far plastic has spread to every aspect of our existence.In hospitals, the loss of plastic would be devastating. “Imagine trying to run a dialysis (透析) unit with no plastic,” says Sharon George, senior lecturer at Keele University in the UK. Plastic is used in gloves, tubing, blood bags, sample tubes and more. Some everyday plastic items are also important for protecting health. Face masks, including plastic-based surgical masks and respirators (人工呼吸器), as well as reusable cloth masks, have helped slow the spread of virus.Our food system would also quickly come apart. We use packaging to protect food from damage in transit and preserve it long enough to reach supermarket shelves, as well as for communication and marketing. “I cannot imagine how plastic would be replaced completely in our system,” says Eleni, a lecturer in environmental management at Brunel University London.Swapping out plastic packaging would have a series of environmental effects. While glass has some advantages over plastic, such as being endlessly recyclable, a one- liter glass bottle can weigh as much as 800g compared to a 40g plastic one. When those heavier bottles and jars need to be transported over long distances, carbon emissions grow even more. It’s clear that replacing one material with another won't solve all our plastic problems.12.What happens to most of the plastic waste thrown away in paragraph 1?A.It is stored in certain facilities.B.It is recycled into new products.C.It is transformed into microplastics.D.It is buried in landfills or pollutes theenvironment.13.What can be interred from paragraph 3?.A.Plastic plays a significant role in hospital.B.Hospitals prefer using cloth masks to plastic masks.C.Hospitals can function well without plastic materials.D.Plastic masks have little impact on slowing the spread of viruses.14.What is Eleni’s attitude towards completely removing plastic from the food system?A.Supportive.B.Optimistic.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent. 15.What makes the best title for the passage?A.What if we stopped using plastic?B.Swapping out plastic for sustainable living.C.More recycling won’t solve plastic pollution.D.Is plastic packaging bad for theenvironment?Ways to keep your brain youngEvery brain changes with age, and mental function changes along with it. Mental decline is common, and it's one of the most feared consequences of aging. But cognitive(认知的) damage is not unavoidable. 16 .Get mental stimulationThrough research with mice and humans, scientists have found that brainy activities stimulate new connections between nerve cells and may even help the brain generate new cells.17 Read, take courses, and try “mental gymnastics,” such as word puzzles or math problems that require mental effort like drawing, painting, and other crafts.Get physical exercise18 . People who exercise regularly increase the number of tiny blood vessels that bring oxygen- rich blood to the region of the brain that is responsible for thought. Exercise also spurs the development of new nerve cells and increases the connections between brain cells.19Good nutrition can help your mind as well as your body. For example, people that eat a Mediterranean style diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, unsaturated oils (olive oil) and plant sources of proteins are less likely to develop cognitive impairment and dementia. In this way, both your blood sugar and blood pressure will be in good control.Care for your emotionsPeople who are anxious, depressed, sleep- deprived, or exhausted tend to score poorly on cognitive function tests. Immediate actions should be taken to prevent cognitive decline. Neglecting your emotional well- being can have a profound impact on your ability to think clearly, make decisions, and maintain a high level of mental sharpness. 20 .A.Improve your dietB.Improve your blood sugarC.Enough sleep is of great importance for brainD.Research shows that using your muscles helps your mindE.Here are some ways you can help maintain brain functionF.Any mentally stimulating activity should help to build up your brainG.Positive moods can reduce stress and anxiety, leading to improved mental health二、完形填空Many years ago, there was a young boy named Daniel who lived in a small village. He was a gifted student with a(n) 21 for science, but he faced a significant challenge: his family was too poor to 22 the necessary equipment and resources for his experiments.23 , Daniel’s determination to pursue his passion did not waver (动摇). He collected waste materials from the local factory and used them to 24 temporary lab equipment. His creativity and resourcefulness allowed him to 25 simple experiments, and he learned a great deal from them.One day, Daniel heard about a national science competition for students. The winner would receive a(n) 26 to a well-known university. Daniel knew this was a chance to change his life, so he decided to 27 the competition.He spent 28 hours designing and building a unique device that could convert waste materials into renewable energy. Despite numerous setbacks and 29 , Daniel never gave up. He worked tirelessly, refining and improving his invention.When the day of the 30 arrived, Daniel presented his invention to the judges. They were impressed by his ingenuity and the potential impact of his invention on the environment. To Daniel’s delight, he was 31 the winner of the competition.Daniel’s victory not only earned him a scholarship (奖学金) but also 32 others in his village to pursue their dreams, 33 their circumstances. His story serves as a 34 reminder that with determination, creativity, and a little bit of resourcefulness, one can 35 barriers and achieve great things.21.A.solution B.passion C.expectation D.examination 22.A.donate B.attract C.afford D.invent 23.A.However B.Besides C.Therefore D.Otherwise 24.A.introduce B.fix C.discover D.create 25.A.conduct B.observe C.question D.construct26.A.introduction B.award C.reward D.call27.A.quit B.host C.escape D.enter 28.A.limited B.precious C.countless D.equal 29.A.successes B.performances C.opportunities D.failures 30.A.victory B.competition C.experiment D.ceremony 31.A.discussed B.admitted C.adjusted D.declared 32.A.persuaded B.inspired C.recommended D.allowed 33.A.because of B.in case of C.regardless of D.in place of 34.A.powerful B.familiar C.careful D.convenient 35.A.overcome B.welcome C.forget D.target三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do the names George Michael, Madonna and Michael Jackson sound familiar? Well, these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s. The 80s pop musicscene was an important step to the popularity (普及) of present-day music. A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular. Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles, it was also the beginning of something big. The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays. A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never-be-foreseen images, but also because of the popularity it received. Think of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s. Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the “New Kids on the Block” and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in. These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s. Though today’s young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was, most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love.Some of the 80s pop music legends (传奇人物) include Madonna, U2, AeroSmith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Let’s not forget Prince, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Motown’s Lionel Ritchie. Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time. Undoubtedly, the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.4. What is the text mainly about?A. The characters of 80s pop music.B. What made 80s pop music popular.C. 80s pop music’s steps to popularity.D. The effects of 80s pop music.5. 80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT ________.A. guitar-based musicB. the MTVC. rap musicD. punk rock6. Michael Jackson’s Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because ________.A. it changed the lives of peopleB. he sang it in a special styleC. it was made into a music videoD. it left people with happy memories7. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers that ________.A. 80s pop music is and will remain popularB. 80s pop music has many faultsC. 80s pop music is now out of dateD. we shouldn’t forget the great musicians of the 80sCThere are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules. As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Although he has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. "Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact.8. What does the author think of Jules?A. He ignored him in his place.B. He didn't treat him as only a robot.C. He was afraid of his being there.D. He mistook him for a real person.9. What is the purpose to build such a robot?A. To help humans of old ages.B. To carry out a scientific research.C. To take the place of human labour.D. To make an interaction with human.10. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1?A. Smiles.B. Shakes.C. Worries.D. Cries.11. What may be the best title for the text?A. Human And RobotB. Success Of Making A RobotC. Robot Will Replace ManD. Difference Between Man And RobotDMy wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.12. What can we infer about Jessie?A. She is a tour advisor.B. She is a tour guide.C. She is a foreign traveler.D. She is a skilled driver.13. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.14. What did the writer think of his tour?A. Adventurous.B. Disappointing.C. Satisfactory.D. Improvable.15. What is the probable title for the text?A. A Wonderful Tour Day with JessieB. An Extraordinary Tour CompanyC. The Great Wall, an Excellent AttractionD. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable Guide第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907—1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.

If you are anywhere close to the area during a game,these fantastic sports events are here for you.San Francisco Giants BaseballThe San Francisco Giants baseball team plays in SF at Oracle Park. This is a fun ballpark because it's always packed with great energy and offers views of the bay. It's one of the most popular San Francisco sports events. The Giants are part of the National League West Division. Since their arrival here in 1958,they have been World Series Champions three times.Golden State Warriors BasketballThe fan base of the Golden State Warriors distributes the whole San Francisco Bay Area as this region's only NBA team.Their regular season runs from late October through mid-April, and all home games are played at the Chase Center in San Francisco.In total, the Warriors has won six NBA championships.San Francisco 49ers FootballThe 49ers are San Francisco's NFL team, though they have recently moved to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, about an hour south of SF. The football team was named for the prospectors (探矿者) who arrived in the area in 1849 for the Gold Rush. They’ve won 5 Super Bowl championships, all between 1981 and 1994.San Jose Sharks HockeyThe San Jose Sharks represent the Bay Area in hockey (冰球).They were founded in 1991 as the only Bay Area team to compete in the NHL. Sharks fans love going to these San Francisco sports events at the SAP Center,which they call the Shark Tank,located about an hour southeast of SF.1.Where can a sports fan have a good view of the area?A.The Oracle Park.B.The Chase Center.C.Levi's Stadium.D.The SAP Center2.Which team has claimed the most titles according to the text?A.The Giants.B.The Golden State Warriors.C.The 49ers.D.The San Jose Sharks.3.Where is the passage probably taken from?A.A book review.B.A news report.C.A science fiction.D.A tourist magazine.BWe've all heard it before:to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3:45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3:30 am and Richard Branson at 5:45 am﹣and, as we all know, "the early bird's catches the worm. "But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share?And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualized and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life?For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening﹣oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright﹣eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self﹣directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well﹣being.Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive(认知)ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night﹣time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls areas healthy and wise as morning types﹣and a little bit wealthier.Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material?Don't set your alarm for 5 am Just yet. As it turns out, overhauling(全面改革)your sleep time may not have much effect"If people are left to their naturally preferred time, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader, " says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin(褪黑素). "Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequence. " Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose(葡萄糖)which can cause weight gain.4. What does the authordo in the first three paragraph?A. raising the problem→analyzing the problem → solving the problemB. leading in the topic→challenging a viewpoint → discussing about the topicC. presenting a viewpoint → providing supporting proofs→making a conclusionD. introducing a viewpoint →raising the question→presenting author's viewpoint5. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph?A. Morning types tend to have clear goals and better mood.B. To beat night﹣time people ask them to do math calculation in themorning.C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.6. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support?A. Don't fall sleep in front of the TV.B. Avoid being regularly late for work.C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am.D. Better not overhaul your sleep time.7. Why does the author write this article?A. To explain why some people are more successful.B.To compare the differences between early risersand night owls.C. To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.D. To argue against this view that the Carly bird catches the worm.CEarthquake can disrupt whales’ hunting for food for up to a year,according to a new study.On November 14, 2016, the Kaikoura earthquake struck New Zealand’s South Island, causing a destructive tsunami. Under the surface, the earthquake caused strong currents that swept away and mostly killed off diverse ecosystems of creatures living along the Kaikoura underwater canyon.As a result, whales had to dive deeper and longer to find food—“a major shift” in their behavior, says co-author Liz Slooten, a marine biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.The impact earthquakes have on land animals has been well documented, but scientists know ly little about what happens underwater. Such research is important for government agencies, which may need to take recent earthquakes into consideration when considering fishing quotas(限额), notes Rochelle Constantine, a marine mammal ecologist at the University of Auckland.The canyon’s upper reaches are rich in creatures, supplying food for the fish that make up the whales’ diet. So when these smaller life forms were washed away, it had “severe consequences for the community around there”, says study co-author Will Rayment. “That effect flowed all the way through the food chain.”As part of their ongoing study, the scientists were tracking 42 individual whales. After the earthquake, in all, the team managed to record data on 40 whales, showing that the abundance of whales in the general area didn’t change after the earthquake. However, the whales changed how they used their habitat.A year after the earthquake, the researchers observed the whales returning to their previous surface-breathing intervals. This could have been because the communities of animals that make up the whales’ food began to recover. “It gives you an idea of how resilient(有复原力的)these deep-sea communities are,” says Rayment.But he and his colleagues will continue long-term monitoring to see if there are effects they missed. Whale activity in the area had already been declining, though it’s unknown whether it is due to natural changes in food abundance, whale-watching tourism, fishing, or warming ocean temperatures. “There is something going on in Kaikoura,” says Rayment.8. What happened after the Kaikoura earthquake in the Kaikoura canyon?A. Several destructive tsunamis struck the area.B. Whales had to swim to other oceans to find food.C. Nearly all marine creatures in Kaikoura were killed off.D. Strong currents washed away many smaller creatures.9. Which is one of the findings of the study?A. Earthquakes can make it easier for whales to find food.B. The whales changed their habitat after the earthquake.C. It usually takes whales a year to adapt to their new diet.D. The number of whales in the area dropped sharply after the quake.10. What does Rochelle Constantine think of the study?A. It can help government agencies to make some decisions about fishing.B. It can help government agencies to solve problems in the fishing industry.C. It is a breakthrough in research on what happens underwater after an earthquake.D. It offers a detailed description of the impact earthquake have on marine mammals.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Something is affecting the whale activity in Kaikoura.B. Fishing quotas have been increasing in recent years.C. The team missed some effects in the research process.D. The scientists will continue studying earthquakes.DI dropped out of college after my first year. Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a dead-end job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with college-level algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction。

2021届四川省宜宾市第一中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASwimming Holes in AmericaIn America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.Cummins FallsLooking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.Sliding RockA popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.Mooney FallsIt is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling(爬)through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff(峭壁)face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.Lihue EstateA private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches(沟渠)that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.1. Which hole may be the favourable destination for families?A. Lihue Estate.B. Sliding Rock.C. Mooney Falls.D. Cummins Falls.2. What can we learn about Mooney Falls from the text?A. It wasfound by an explorer.B. It was hand-dug in the 1800s.C. It is dangerous to arrive there.D. It is the tallest fall in the world.3. What is special about Lihue Estate?A. It is man-made.B. It is a private area.C. Its water is from underground.D. It lies on the top of Mount WaialealeBThose who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.4. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?A. Its robot employees.B. Its advanced equipment.C. Its convenient location.D. Its successful management.5. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?A. To entertain readers.B. To prove Churi’s drawback.C. To introduce Churi’s functions.D. To persuade people not to book the hotel.6. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?A. Attractive.B. Costly.C. Pioneering.D. Disappointing.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Are Taking Over the World.B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.CEveryone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.8. What made the author angry at the meeting?A. The system of the company was terrible.B. Someone said his job is insignificant.C. The policy of the company didn’t work.D. The application he supported was of no effect.9. What brought down the anger of the author?A. The apology someone made at the meeting.B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true.D. The courage he had to overcome the challenges.10. Why did the author consider the incident as a gift?A. It brought him back on track to the goal.B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position.C. It helped him change his character since then.D. It provided him with confidence in his career.11. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a CompanyB. Avoid Being Pointless at WorkC. Anger Is Harmful to HealthD. Understanding Yourself Better Through AngerDItzhak Perlman was born in Tel Aviv, in whatwas thenPalestine, in 1945. Today he lives inNew York City.

His international fame had begun.His music is full of power and strength. It can be sad or joyful, loud or soft. But critics (评论家) say it is not the music alone that makes his playing so special. They say he is able to communicate the joy he feels in playing, and the emotions that great music can deliver.Anyone who has attended a performance by Itzhak Perlman will tell you thatit is exciting to watch him play. His face changes as the music from his violin changes. He looks sad when the music seems sad. He smiles and closes his eyes when the music is light and happy.

The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. “That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念)by gender (性别)as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.4. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?A. A man with long curly hair.B. A woman with lab glasses.C. A woman in a formal lab suit.D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.5. What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings?A. The improvement of women^ social status.B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents.C. More female scientists appear in the media.D. The increasing number of female scientists.6. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Belief.B. Idea.C. Habit.D. Growth.7. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally malesB. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boysC. some children are born with certain stereotypesD. most children tend to prefer female scientistsCWhen almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)?These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter(29%)rely only on their smartphones according to a survey(调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a thirdconcedethat it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlinesnow and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who iscalling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobilephones?A. Their target users.B. Their wide popularity.C. Their major functions.D. Their complex design.9. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Admit.B. Argue.C. Remember.D. Remark.10. What can we say about Baby Boomers?A. They like smartphone games.B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.C. They keep using landline phones.D. They are attached to their family.11. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?A. It remains a family necessity.B. Itwill fall out of use some day.C. It may increase daily expenses.D. It is as important as the gas light.DSmart speakers have proven to be handy devices in hospitals, allowing patients to control independently . And now, researchers from theUniversityofWashingtonhave developed an artificial intelligence system that enables these devices to monitor heartbeats.Using technology to remotely monitor heart rates isn't new. These days most smartwatches and fitness trackers are capable of it. The good thing here is that researchers have figured out a way to use the microphones in smart speakers to do it without requiring physical contact.In a study published inCommunications Biology, the researchers had the smart speakers send out signals that couldn't be heard which were then reflected off a person's body. They then analyzed these signals to identify small chest wall motions related to heartbeats, as well as separate those signals from surrounding noise and breathing.For this particular proof — of — concept setup, the researchers tested this smart speaker on 26 healthy participants and 24 hospitalized patients with various heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation(心房颤动)and heart failure. In both cases, the smart speaker was within 28 -30 milliseconds of an ECG(心电图),the gold standard used in hospitals to discover arrhythmia(心律不齐).Like smartwatches with advanced heart features, using smart speakers in this way opens up the possibility for passive, remote heart monitoring. ECGs, while highly accurate, require a visit to the doctor and several electrodes(电极)to be placed on the body. They,re not capable of continuous monitoring so you're limited to what it picks up at that exact moment in time ——one reason why heart arrhythmia can be so hard to discover.Smartwatches are capable of passive, remote, continuous monitoring, but they require you to wear the device at all times to be effective. It's not something that's comfortable for everyone, especially when it comes to sleep and for those with highly sensitive skin. Another issue is that these advanced smartwatches are expensive, while smart speakers are much cheaper.“If you have a device like this, you can monitor a patient on an extended basis and then develop corresponding care plans that satisfy the patient' s needs,“ said Dr. Arun Sridhar, co — senior author on the study. "And the beauty of using this kind of devices is that they are already in people's homes.”12. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 3?A. How the smart speaker works.B. Why the smart speaker is useful.C. The advantages of smart speakers.D. The importance of the study.13. Why is heart arrhythmia difficult to find?A. ECGs are not highly accurate.B. ECGs can't monitor continuously.C. Doctors know little about heart arrhythmia.D. An ECG test is hard to operate and expensive.14. Which statement best explains the characteristics of smartwatches?A. They are comfortable to wear.B. They are friendly to sensitive skin.C. They are effective and cheap.D. They are able to monitor remotely.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We need to invent more smart devices.B. Care plans are vital to patients with heart failure.C. Smart speakers could be contactless heart monitors.D. Different devices are needed to meet patients,demands.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021-2022学年四川省宜宾市高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. When it comes to perfect views, it really does take a village. Searching for the most camera-ready communities on the planet, we found four villages that fit the bill. Spend a few minutes there and you will realize that “quaint (古色古香的)” and “charming (有魅力的)” aren’t just adjectives; they are a way of life.Sidi Bou Said in TunisiaThe village seems to disappear into the sky and the blue horizon. All the houses are painted white, the skies are clear, and the backdrop includes the Bay of Tunis which is only in a deeper shade of blue. It’s not surprising that the atmosphere here is a bit random, and it is also home to plenty of lively cafes and art galleries.Wengen in SwitzerlandWonder how the world was before cars were invented? Wengen, a Switzerland’s village might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years. Imagine seeing woods all around you, snow peaked mountains, log cabins and locals who have kept their Swiss culture undamaged.Eze in FranceFrance’s most attractive village is Eze. Seemingly frozen in time, Eze has managed to keep its old-world charm. It is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice, and today the village enjoys its rich heritage. The architecture here is so special that Walt Disney frequented this village for inspiration.Bibury in EnglandBibury was described by William Morris as the most beautiful village in England — known for its watercolor views. The 17th-century stone cottages and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees.1. Which is not allowed to do for tourists in Wengen?A.Traveling around by car. B.Viewing woods everywhere.C.Leaning about Swiss culture. D.Appreciating snowy mountains.2. Which village did Walt Disney often visit to get inspired?A.Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. B.Wengen in Switzerland.C.Eze in France. D.Bibury in England.3. What do the four villages have in common?A.Each has modern architecture. B.They are all situated by the sea.C.They have beautiful stone cottages. D.Each owns ancient but amazing scenery.2. My brother and I were driving home together and having a heated conversation. Because of this distraction, brother took a wrong turn. Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He clearly felt down about the mistake and the needless waste of $4.We eventually reached an exit. As we took it, my brother noticed a young guy standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench to get it off.My brother gave him a wrench, and then helped him change the tire. We started getting to know the young man. He said that this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a car accident an d now this tire on his way home from work. But he called us. “A breath of fresh air”, and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along.After we had finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to gi ve it to us. “No”, I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge, we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into a chance to serve.”1. Why was the author’s brother upset at first?A.Because he took a wrong way. B.Because he had a conversation.C.Because he met with an accident. D.Because he quarreled with the author.2. What trouble was the young guy faced with then?A.Losing his way. B.One broken tire.C.Poor repair skills. D.A series of bad luck.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.They failed to remove the tire. B.The author felt easy in the end.C.The young man realized his mistake. D.The author accepted the young man’smoney.4. What is the theme of the passage?A.A friend in need is a friend indeed. B.A good act will be doubly paid off.C.Help a young guy out on the bridge. D.Turn bad situation into positive energy. 3. There’s physics to having your ducklings in a row. By paddling in an orderly line behind their mother, baby ducks can take a ride on the waves in her wake. That saves the ducklings’ energy, researchers report in the December 10th issue of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.Earlier measurements of duckling metabolism showed that the youngsters saved energy when swimming behind a leader, but the physics behind that savings wasn’t known. Using computer simulations of waterfowl waves, Zhiming Yuan, an expert of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, and his colleagues found that a duckling cruising in just the right spot behind its mother gets an assist.When a duckling swims on its own, it kicks up waves in its wake, using up some energy that would otherwise send it moving ahead. That wave drag resists the duckling’s move. But ducklings in the sweet spot experience 158 percent less wave drag than when swimming alone, the researchers calculated, meaning the duckling gets a push instead.Like good partners, the ducklings share with one another. Each duckling in the line passes along waves to those behind, so all the baby ducks get a free ride.But to get the benefit, the youngsters need to keep up with their mom. If they fall out of position, swimming gets harder. That’s fair punishment for ducklings that dawdle.1. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A.Baby ducks learn physics from their mother duck.B.Ducklings can swim more easily after mom orderly.C.Ducklings can swim behind their mother without efforts.D.The waves made by mother duck prevent ducklings’ swim.2. How did researchers conclude about energy-saving swimming?A.By watching them carefully. B.By measuring them correctly.C.By studying certain examples. D.By using computer technology.3. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.How researchers conducted the experiment.B.Comparing two ways of baby ducks’ swimming.C.Why ducklings’ swimming in a row saves energy.D.Explaining the rules of baby ducks’ movement in water.4. What does the u nderlined part “the benefit” in paragraph 5 refer to?A.A free ride. B.The hard swim. C.A fairpunishment. D.The right position.4. Two armchairs are in the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester. Denise, a blogger with past experience of homelessness, is sitting in one armchair, waiting for questions. A person sits opposite her, asking if it’s OK to give money to homeless people on the street. “It’s down to personal choice,” replies Denise. “Some worry it is enabling addictions, but it’s also providing someone with moneyto pay for shelter.” The dialogues are part of a performance artwork called Are you sitting comfortably? The work was part of the opening International Arts and Homelessness Festival.At the festival there were also the works of artists, many of whom had experience of homelessness like Lawrence. Lawrence now has become an enthusiastic gardener, filling second-hand containers with soil and seeds. He has also written poetry to deal with life’s hardships. “My life started the day I stepped into this place.” he said. “Everyone has some genius, I think, and they help bring it out.”The festival ended with “an immersive (沉浸式的) opera” Man on Bench, written by and starring Tovey. His story covers a string of bad luck, including being diagnosed with cancer. Tovey was once homeless and desperate on a park bench when a guard started a conversation with him. The result was that Tovey moved into a night shelter and started taking photos and began winning photography competitions. That was five years ago. He now gives talks and runs events all over the country.Man on Bench doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of life on the street. “But we do want to change people’s minds,” he said. In a safe environment, focusing on drawing, people are more likely to get to know their problems. Then they will think about how to change. That’s why it’s so powerful. It gets people thinking.1. What is Denise’s attitude towards giving money to the homeless?A.Objective. B.Uncaring. C.Negative. D.Active.2. How did Lawrence get through his suffering?A.By joining in the festival.B.By creating numbers of artworks.C.By doing gardening and writing poems.D.By solving poor people’s personal problems.3. What can be inferred from “Man on Bench” according to the passage?A.It hides the real life of the homeless.B.It is probably based on Tovey’s real life.C.It encourages the homeless to find shelter.D.It is a piece of poetry composed by Tovey.4. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Art Reflecting Life. B.Art Festival Is Going on.C.Life of the Homelessness. D.Art Changes the Life of the Homeless. 5. People get used to saying “bless you” or “gesundheit” when someone sneezes. No one says anything when some coughs or blows their noses. 1 What do those phrases actually mean, anyway?2 The ancient Romans would say “Jupiter preserve you!”, which means “good health to you” and the Greeks would wish each other “long life”. The phrase “God bless you” is due to Pope Gregory, who spoke it out in the sixth century.Another term “gesundheit” comes from Germany, meaning “health”. 3 It entered the English language in the 20th century, brought to the United States by German-speaking immigrants.Actually every country has its own way of wishing sneezers well. Arabic people say “Alhamdulillah!” which means “praise be to God”. Some count ries have special sneezing responses for children. When a child sneezes in China, he/she will hear “bai sui”. 4For the most part, the various sneeze responses originated (起源) from ancient superstitions (迷信). Some people believed a sneeze caused the soul to escape the body through the nose. Saying “bless you” would stop the devil from claiming the person’s soul. 5 They also misunderstood that the heart temporarily stopped during a sneeze (actually it doesn’t), and that saying “bless you” was a way of welcoming the person back to life.6. Glen was walking along the shore with his son Terry after supper. Suddenly, Glen noticed a scorpion (蝎子) _______in the tide, trying to get back to the _______. Glen tried to pick it up, but it stung (刺) him and _______ back into the tide. Glen tried again and was _______ again.“Dad, leave him alone! He’s not worth _______.” Terry sh outed. But Glen tried one more time. This time he _______ and threw the scorpion onto the beach. Terry said, “Why _______ time on such a tiny creature who’s too stupid to know it’s being _______?” Glen answered, “Son, the scorpion stings me in his _______. I chose to help him ________ that’s in my nature.”Glen was teaching his son a(n) ________ lesson about being humans. Like the scorpion and other species, we’re born with a nature for ________ and tend to be selfish. ________, we also have a sense of sympathy (同情心) and the power to ________ so that we can act beyond our self-interest. Human nature is ________. It’s our nature to be kind, loving and generous as it is to be cruel,________ and dishonest. We sometimes ________ nice nature, but sometimes we act like scorpion ________ by negative nature.No one is born with good or bad ________. We’re born with the ability to choose to have either.
