had to take long pauses just to climb the stairs or walk more than a few yards.He said,"The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join her because I was so unhealthy.But now I am making up for the lost time-we do so much together and it is just great.Before switching to a healthy lifestyle,Chris would eat five slices of bread as a mid-morning meal after a full English breakfast.He would then eat a sandwich,a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon.For dinner Chris would demolish a curry,and ice cream,and also four pints of beer before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.Chris said,“At13,I was118kg and I remember a teacher pointing this out to the whole school.From then on I was picked on and bullied.My weight went up and up.But I now have a new-found freedom.My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased with me.In fact it's them that I

ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animal's eyes?For example,what a chimpanzee sees as it sits at the top of a tree,or what a penguin sees as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner?These questions are answered in the nature documentary Animals with Cameras,produced by the BBC.The three-part series was first aired in the U.K.in2018.To explore animals'stories"told" by the animals themselves,the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear.“Never before have we seen such high-quality footage（连续镜头)directly from the animals’points of view,”BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS.“This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opens up new possibilities for discovering so much more.”Indeed,the groundbreaking technology provides a new viewpoint of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear,according to the documentary's camera designer Chris Watts.The technical challenges didn't stop there.Some animals were very curious about the equipment,with some even fighting with each other for the chance to wear a camera.In the case of chimpanzees,“We had to create dummy(仿造的)cameras,so that every chimpanzee could get one,”the wildlife miniseries'cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science.For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings,the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand.But for others,the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward.This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible.To avoid disturbing the animals,scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals.“The last thing we want to do is cause them distress,”the documentary's producer Dan Rees told the BBC.“To follow an animal in the first place,there had to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protect a species in the future.”Their efforts certainly paid off.“Footage that captures(捕捉)these rare and exciting glimpses of animals'habits is important to scientists,but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with the audience,connecting them with the beauty and danger of wildlife in their naturalenvironments,”Live Science noted.8.What do we know about Animals with Cameras according to the passage?A.It is a documentary made by wildlife experts.B.It presents high-quality footage of animals for the first time.C.It shows wildlife from the unique viewpoints of animalsD.It mainly records the life of chimpanzees and penguins.9.What is the case of chimpanzees used for?A.Reflecting the weakness of the camera technology.B.Presenting how filmmakers put cameras on chimpanzees.C.Explaining why chimpanzees were attracted by the equipment.D.Showing how filmmakers dealt with the challenges of shooting.10.What did the filmmakers do to avoid disturbing the animals?A.They set up a protected area for them to live in.B.They invited scientists to help equip them with cameras.C.They made the cameras look like animals in disguise.D.They fitted and removed the cameras by hand.11.What's the author's attitude toward the documentary?A.Doubtful.B.Supportive.C.Cautious.D.Pessimistic.DOnline learning is now becoming very popular around the world.As we know,it allows people to learn at home and anywhere else in the world.Anyone who wants to learn something can enroll in a school offering online courses and complete their education.Besides,being convenient, there is no age limit:One can take an online course anytime and at any point in their career.Online learning also means that people have more time for their own life while continuing their education.They are able to learn when it's convenient for them,and in many cases the courses can be completed in less time than at a traditional school.People can go to work during the day and finish their homework at night.Parents can spend time with their children and then complete online classes when their children are in school or asleep.People can work and learn at any time of the day and at their own speed.Many people find that online courses are less expensive than traditional ones.Classroom teaching is usually expensive and not suitable for a lot of people.Through online learning,one can save a lot.Online courses are a good choice for those who are short of money but want to learn something and improve themselves.According to the U.S.Department of Education,students learning online not only have saved a lot of money but also performed better than those learning intraditional schools.However,online learning requires a regimented lifestyle and the ability to learn on one's own. For people who are not strict with themselves,online learning can be a real challenge.For busy people who take online classes,time management can be a challenge.They have to decide for themselves when to work on class tasks and how long they will need in order to finish the work. So,people must think about all of these things before making a choice.12.In the author's opinion,online learning___________.A.should be made funB.is easy to get for anyoneC.is a good choice for anyoneD.may disappear in the near future13.What does the author try to say in Paragraph3?A.Classroom teaching helps students learn better.B.Online learning helps people save much money.C.Students in the United States prefer to learn on the Internet.D.People should spend more money on online learning.14.What does the underlined word"regimented"in the last paragraph mean?A.Self-made.B.Self-developed.C.Self-controlled.D.Self-supported.15.What's the main idea of the text?A.Online learning is going to replace the traditional way of teaching.B.People can learn more quickly through online learning.C.More and more people are now choosing to learn online.D.Online learning has both advantages and disadvantages.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021-2022学年浙江省杭州市重点中学高二下学期期中考试英语试题卷 Word版含答案

2021-2022学年浙江省杭州市重点中学高二下学期期中考试英语试题卷第I卷选择题部分第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

ASeminole was far too accustomed to the business. Everyone sympathized with him depending an long hours minimum wage, and ill-mannered customers. Although struggling to pay his rent he still went all out to make those lucky enough to sit at his tables laugh. The day was going quick.He was exhausted when he arrived to work the next day, but he went about his daily duties, putting on a brave face as customers complained about the food or questioned the bill. Usually as he prepared to close for the night, a couple of customers would sit down and order drinks. Most of the crew had left by closing time, but Seminole stayed to serve. Eventually, the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill. The minimum tip was suggested on the receipt. “Tomorrow will be better,” murmured he.But luck wasn't on his side. Evening approaching, a group of teenagers stepped in. Thankfully, they were polite and respectful. Their cheerful behavior began to rub off on him. As always, he did his best to make their dining experience a pleasant one.Once they finished their dishes, he placed the bill on the table, accompanied with some candies. They placed their notes on the receipt and left smiling. When he returned to clear the table, he was shocked. The teenagers only left a tip of $3, but their total bill was more than $100. He'd gone above and beyond serving the tasty dishes. Ho would they be so rude?Later that week, he struggled to let go of the awkward memories. He arrived at work and expected it to like any other, but there was something left behind the desk for him--a two-page handwritten letter from the teenagers with $18 attached, in which they explained they were unaware of the tipping practice due to it being their first time out alone. Everything suddenly made sense.Seminole was so touched by their gesture that he uploaded a picture of the letter sharing their admirable efforts. Web visitors voiced their opinions, and the reaction was more than positive.21.Why did Seminole wear a brave face?A.To serve better.B.To relax himself.C.To sell more drinks.D.To gain a reputation.22 What made the teenagers only leave a tip of $3?A.Ignorance of tipping culture.B.Dissatisfaction with the meal.C.Gratitude for Seminole's service.D.Misunderstanding of tipping practice.23.What can we learn from the teenagers in the text?A.One good turn deserves another.B.Actions speak louder than words.C.Honesty can turn into an opportunity.D.It is better to make things right than not.BThe Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results.They tested different models to re-check their information. But all returned the same. The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991.Evaporation(蒸发)is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources. This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands. But the scientists believe something else is happening.Experts have warned human activity is affecting the world's weather patterns. It is causing extreme events to happen more often, such as severe droughts and floods. The cutting and burning of forest and the building of large hydroelectric factories and dams for watering crops all affect natural patterns.In Brazil's Amazon rainforest, water evaporates then travels on air flows to provide rainfall far away. But some climate experts say if too much forest is destroyed, the Amazon will start an irreparable process of becoming a savannas(大草原).There are more immediate effects for worry, like possible power shortages this year. Hydroelectric reservoirs have had ten years of lower-than-usual rainfall. Reservoirs in the Parana River area have never before been overused.The Parana River and its connected water bodies supply fresh water to some 40 million people. That includes the large city of Sao Paolo and several states.Fishing communities and farmers also depend on these water bodies.Brazil's decreasing water resources may also worsen fires that people set each winter to clear land. The fires then burn out of control. Last year, more than 25 percent of Brazil's Pantanal was on fire. It was the worst yearly damage since officials began keeping records in 2003. In areas without roads, moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels, Rabelo said. That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires. And, even if they can, less water is available to put them out.24.What was the Brazilian scientists' reaction to their findings?A.Satisfied.B.Disappointed.C.Shocked.D.Overjoyed.25.Which of the following belongs to “something else” in the third p aragraph?A.Evaporation.B.Building dams.C.Power shortage.D.Fishing.26.What can we know from the passage?A.Brazil lacks roads for firefighters to reach fires.B.The destruction of the rainforest may affect the rainfall.C.Brazil's people set fires to keep wild animals away in winter.D.Reservoirs in the Parana River area is useless due to water shortage.27.What is the best title of the passage?A.Water Study Raises Fears for DroughtB.Brazil's Forest Is DisappearingC.More Water, More HappinessD.Cherish Water, Extend LifeCInternal communication, also known as IC, refers to a group of processes responsible for effective circulation of message within an organization. These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential(机密的). The means of transferring this information is often done through emails, letters, notice boards, and even with the help of social media like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet, in the current times.Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing. With honesty around the workplace, it is a safer environment for the employees to voice their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated. Other than changes, not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to “gossip culture” at the workplace. When information is not passed out with lucidity, not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company.An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and self-accountability. If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner, it would bring room for each and every employee to take it on a positive note and bring around the change for the one common goal of development of the company that they are working for. This brings a lot of change in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish (珍爱)dearly.In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees. The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better. The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind.28.Which is considered one main character of IC?A.It comes with the times of social media.B.It exists within the leadership of a company.C.It is often kept secret within an organization.D.It needs a long and difficult process in most cases.29.What does the underline d word “lucidity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Clearness.B.Appreciation.C.Authority.D.Assistance.30.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The main responsibilities of the CEO.B.The importance of unity for a company.C.The advantage of a powerful leadership.D.The role of an honest leadership in a company.31.What does the author suggest to us in a workplace in the last paragraph?municating both the positives and the negatives.B.Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes.C.Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives.D.Strengthening unity mainly among the employees.DLitterati is an app that people can use to upload information about litter they collect outside, such as its appearance, material, location, and brand. Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of “litter maps” , which can influence policy and packaging design.“Society's failure to solve the litter problem is not from a lack of trying. There have been public service announcements, and coastal cleanups. But I believe two components are missing from the discussion--community and data,” said Jeff Kirschner, the developer of Litterati app.Uploading pictures to an app shows users that they are not the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are invested in cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly telling a story that helps people understand who picked up what, where, and when. In this way, people are encouraged to do more.In San Francisco, the Litterati app was able to identify and map more than 5,000 pieces of litter in order to determine how much was caused by cigarettes specifically. Using this information, the city successfully challenged a lawsuit by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax, bringing in US $4 million annual revenue(税收).By joining forces with others using the same platform, individuals are able to take their anti-litter activism to another level. The power of combined data leads to more Extended Producer Responsibility, which is precisely what we want and advocate here-producers are forced to be responsible for dealing with their own products once consumers no longer find them useful and are incentivized to create more environmentally friendly packaging or better policies as a result of that new responsibility.Litterati takes a refreshingly non-judgmental approach. It shows a positive we-can-do-it attitude. Just as Jeff Kirschner said, “Our goal isn't to shame. It's to provide transparency to the problem. We provide access to data and share insights with cities, citizens and businesses, guiding us all to identify the root cause of the problem,and make informed decisions of how to clean the planet.”32.What makes the society fail to solve the litter problem according to Kirschner?A.People's poor environmental awareness.B.The absence of government publicity and support.C.The inaction of the community.D.The lack of shared statistics33.Why are tobacco companies mentioned?A.To show the influence of Litterati.B.To describe the details of the map.C.To warn people of the harm of cigarettes.D.To prove the large consumption of tobacco.34.Which of the following statements is true about the text?A.People can be encouraged to pick up litter only if others are doing so.B.Individuals hardly get involved in picking up litter until the release of Litterati.C.The use of Litterati inspires producers to fulfil further obligations for the society.D.Kirschner developed the app with the aim of appealing to individuals to pick up litter.35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Litter Maps:Make litter-picking a Fun WayB.Litterati:Transparent Data for a Cleaner WorldC.Litterati App:Guide People Where to Collect LitterD.Litterati Campaign:EveryoneCounts in Litter Picking第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ANew Science Books in BriefVolume ControlBy David Owen || $18. 23“ For a deaf child, having hearing parents can be a serious disadvantage," notes Owen in this sensitive study of hearing. He suffers from tinnitus. Combining the science with individual experiences, Owen discusses hearing aids, sign language, Thomas Edison and noise levels in US cities—all in absorbing detail.Reality Ahead of ScheduleBy Joel Levy || $29. 04This picture-packed book tours scientific advances sparked by ideas in science fiction. For example, Levy shows how H. G. Wells s 1903 story The Land Ironclads inspired Winston Churchill to promote the development of the military tank. The title comes from a definition of sci-fi by Sydney Mead, an industrial designer widely known for his designs for science-fiction films.Jet StreamBy Tim Woollings || $32. 95The jet stream was discovered in the 1920s. In this analysis of its complex influence on weather, Woollings relates how the Japanese used the jet stream to launch trans — Pacific balloons in 1944. Today, the jet stream isvery likely to be threatened by another product of human activity: rising carbon dioxide emissions.Adventures of a Computational ExplorerBy Stephen Wolfram || $22. 46Stephen Wolfram, designer of the technical-computing system Mathematica, offers good stories in this collection of biographical essays. For example, he recalls himself as a six-year-old spotting a bite taken out of the sun: a solar eclipse, something unknown to the other children.1. What can we learn from Volume Control?A. The science of hearing.B. Practical ways to cure tinnitus.C. Thomas Edison's great inventions.D. Winston Churchill's great achievements.2. Who provided inspiration for the title of Reality Ahead of Schedule?A. Joel Levy.B. H. G. Wells.C. Sydney Mead.D. Tim Woollings.3. How much should you pay if you want a book completely made up of real stories?A. $18. 23.B. $22. 46.C. $29. 04.D. $32. 95.BThe definition of community has evolved (升华)for me from childhood to the young adult I am now. My mom was born in America but both her parents were from the Bahamas. It was their culture to take care of the elderly and the sick. And my mom has taught me to be caring to those around us because we're all a part of the "community" , an extension of family.When I was 9 years old, my family moved to Cape Coral, Florida. Both mom and dad worked full-time, so they registered me to attend an after-school program at the Youth Center. Youth counselors (辅导员) would help me with my homework and play games with me and this was where my interest took root. Community service started with me giving back at the Youth Center.Then illness struck at home. My grandmother had to have heart surgery and needed hospital treatment. This experience brought me to volunteer at Cape Coral Hospital. I asked if I could learn from the nurse how to give my grandma her medicine and it started here.I loved being at Cape Coral Hospital. I would bring paperwork to other doctors, bring food to the patients, and make sure the patients were attended. I would help direct visitors to see patients. I would always tell what would cheer the patients up because I had built a relationship with them and their loved ones. I grew to feel the hospital was a part of my community.After volunteering at the Youth Center and at the Hospital, I've learned that people become sort of an extendedfamily when you care about them. Now I am more considerate of those close to me, neighbors and even strangers who share my resources.4. Who might be the first to expose the author to the sense of community?A. Counselors at the Youth Center.B. Nurses at Cape Coral Hospital.C. Her grandparents.D. Her mother.5. Why did the author's parents send her to the Youth Center?A. They were too busy to take care of her.B. They wanted her to do community service.C. The author couldn't finish her homework on her own.D. Becoming a counselor was the author's childhood dream.6. What did the author volunteer to do first at Cape Coral Hospital?A. Cheer the patients up.B. Bring food to the patients.C. Help direct visitors to see patients.D. Serve medicine to her grandmother.7. What is the best title for the text?A. I Love V olunteeringB. Community Is FamilyC. My V olunteer ExperiencesD. My Community and My FamilyCAs spring arrives, farmers around the world are making decisions about what crops to plant and how to manage them. In the U. S., farmers typically have big data to help make these decisions. These data have a clear upside. They make farms more productive. In the U.S., the past five years have seen a series of good harvests for both com and soybean. A big part is generated by effectively using data to produce more food from the same amount of land, seed and fertilizer.In the poorer parts of the world, however, the picture is much different. Many farmers are guided only by their history with the land and their community's traditions. Their skills and knowledge are impressive, but they suffer from a poverty of data. They rely on technical advisors for advice from governments and academic centers who often have very little knowledge of the local area. For seeds and fertilizers and other materials used in the field, they rely on companies that lack data on how their products will perform in the localconditions.About 10 years ago, East African officials and their development partners started to explore why so few smallholder dairy farmers made profits from growing demand from urban consumers. Surveys of farmers in the region suggested poor access to veterinary(禽畜的) care and breeding assistance. An effort to provide these services has helped farmers get more milk.Data would matter little if farming was easy and the paths to productivity were obvious. But in reality, agriculture is a complex mix of many factors, including climate, biology, chemistry, physics, economics and culture—all of which vary from region to region. In this situation, good data is necessary.8. How has big data benefited American's farmers?A. By informing the farmers to plant crops earlier.B. By helping make farms more productive.C. By increasing the amount of land for farming.D. By producing more seeds and fertilizer.9. What do farmers in poor countries need to improve their farming?A. Farming skills.B. Technical guidance.C. Big data.D. Farming materials10. Why does the writer mention the case of East Africa?A. To show that East Africa relies heavily on diary farming.B. To illustrate cooperation between countries was a great success.C. To serve as an example of how data helps farmers in poor areas.D. To prove that city people in East Africa didn't like drinking milk.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many changeable factors have influence on farming.B. East African dairy farmers were experienced in raising cows.C. The American farmers can't decide what they will plant.D. The technical advisors in poor areas know the local areas well.DSmile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry （模仿）allows us to experience other people's feelings. If we can't mirror another person's face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, describe how people in social situations copy others' facial expressions to create emotional responses inthemselves. For example, if you're with a friend who looks sad, you might "try on" that sad face yourself without realizing you're doing so. In "trying on" your friend's expression, it helps you to recognize what they're feeling by connecting it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds."You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you produce some sort of recognition judgment, and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action—you approach the person or you avoid the person," Niedenthal says. "Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your understanding of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means."A person's ability to recognize and "share" others' emotions can be prevented when they can't mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis（瘫痪）from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from birth, because if you've never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed another ways of interpreting emotions. Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition. A better understanding of that part, she says, will give usa better idea of how to treat related disorders.12. According to the passage, facial mimicry helps _________A. convey one's own feelings clearlyB. change others' emotions quicklyC. respond to others' expressions properlyD. develop friendship with others easily13. Which parts explain how people copy others' facial expressions?A. Paragraph 1 and 2.B. Paragraph 2 and 3.C. Paragraph 3 and 4.D. Paragraph 4 and 5.14. According to Niedenthal, what will be the next focus of the study?A. When is the best time to treat brain disorders.B. How many kinds of facial expressions people have.C. How our brain helps us with emotional mirroring.D. What part in the brain helps recognize facial expressions.15. What is the purpose of writing the passage?A. To discuss why people like smiling to others.B. To draw people's attention to those with motor diseases.C. To introduce a new trend in facial expression recognition .D. To explain how people mirror others' facial expressions.第二节(共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

It wasa beautiful day, I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me: “You don’t look well” That pletely took me by surprise, I told him I had never felt 25 （well）. Without hesitation he told me I looked terribly bad and my skin appeared yellow.When I left the service station, 26 (feel) a little uneasy, I pulled over to the side of road and look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was everything all right? Had I picked up 27 rare disease? Had I picked up hepatitis（肝炎）?The next time I drove into the service station, I figured out what 28 (happen). The place had recently been painted a bright yellow, the light 29 (reflect) off the walls made someone inside look as though they had hepatitis.I wondered how many folks had reacted the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total stranger 30 (change) my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single negative observation had a profound effect 31 the way I felt and acted.A little while later I saw how funny the incident was.

The plane was totally full. I had noticed some Boy Scouts (童子军) at the gate and promised to my daughter that if 33 happened, we would be OK with all those Scouts on our flight!Unfortunately, our seats were separated by the aisle（走道）. Kallie was nervous about the trip and had counted on my reading to her the whole way. 34 (try) to read across the aisle would be a challenge.When the two passengers who shared my row boarded the plane, I asked if they __35__ switch places with Kallie and me. They refused. Meanwhile, a mother and her three children were panicking several rows ahead of us. There had been a mistake with their boarding passes, and the whole family 36 (split) up. The passengers in her row also refused to move. The mother was concerned about the younger boy sitting with strangers.Suddenly the Scout leader stood up and said, “Ma’am, we can help you.” He then spent five minutes rearranging his group. The mother’s relief was obvious.Kallie, however, was still upset. I told her that there wasn’t anything 37 I could do; we would have to sit 38 we were. Gradually, the man sitting next to the Scoutmaster (not a Scout himself) turned around and as ked, “Would you and your daughter like our seats?” We traded seats and continued our trip, very much 39 (relieve) to be together.Would that man have offered us his seat if the Scouts hadn’t done so for the mom and her children?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen…At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certa in facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.66. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history67. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D.

Descriptions of unforgettable events.69. The author es to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of it（B）Do you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or pletely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these as characteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled.This typifies the way in which engineers work to help people and create abetter quality of life. The fact that this country has the most efficient agricultural industry in the world is another good example. Mechanical engineers have worked with farmers and biologists to produce fertilizers, machinery and harvesting systems. This team effort has now produced crops uniformly waist high or less so that they are better suited to mechanical harvesting. Similar advances with other crops have released people from hard and boring jobs for more creative work, whilst machines harvest crops more efficiently with less waste. Providing more food for the rapidly increasing population is yet another role for the mechanical engineer.70. According to the passage, when would most weight be imposed on hip-joints?A. When one is walking.B. When one is running.C. When one is standing.D. When one is lying down.71. Engineers regard the replacement of hip-joints as a(n) ____ Problem.A. mechanicalB. medicalC. healthD. agricultural72. According to the passage, how do engineers contribute to increasingefficiency of the agricultural industry?A. By working with farmers.B. By working in teams.C. By growing crops of the same height.D. By making agriculturalmachinery.73. According to the context, "This team effort'" in Paragraph Two refersto__________.A. mechanical engineers.B. doctors and engineers.C. biologists, doctors and farmers.D. farmers, biologists and engineers（C）Rules for the University Entrance Examination•You must be at the examination center ten minutes before the examination starts.

Our nose helps us to know more about the world.The sense of smell starts with the nose, but it includes other parts of the head and the brain. Let us use the example of the burning match to understand how this sense works.When the match starts to burn, tiny little pieces of ash that e from the match float through the air. These small pieces of material are too small for us to see, but the nose is sensitive to them and can smell them as they travel through the air into our nose. When the small pieces of ash reach the olfactory nerve （嗅觉神经）, which is like an electrical wire on a telephone, the olfactory nerve carries the message to the brain, telling it that we are smelling a burning match. We don’t always smell a smell right away, because it takes time for the small pieces to travel in the air and then into our nose to the olfactory nerve.Human beings have a very weak sense of smell. As people evolved and began to use reason more, they didn’t need to smell things quite as well as other animals did. They could use their eyes and their brains in a different way. Thereis one way our sense of smell is different from other senses. After sensing a particular smell for a long time, our sense of smell gets tired. When we first e into the house, we can smell dinner cooking, but after that, our olfactory nerves get tired and then we don’t smell anything at all. When we have a cold, our nose is all stuffed up, and we cannot smell certain things, like perfume or food.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.

（每小题2分，满分20分）AIt’s wonderful to have a relaxing bath in mineral water while looking out over beautiful scenery.If you live in the US or are planning a visit,consider going to one of the two natural hot springs(温泉)in the western US:Travertine Hot SpringsAt the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bridgeport,California lie the Travertine Hot Springs.The orange,green,and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe.Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that’s comfortable for you.These springs can easily be reached by car.Take Route395south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs.If you like to camp,you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road.Bagby Hot SpringsIn the middle of an ancient forest you’ll find the Bagby Hot Springs.At the springs there are wooden bathhouses,with both private baths and communal baths. Through a system of pipes the spring water is brought to the baths at a temperature of136degrees Fahrenheit.If that’s too hot buckets of cold water are also available to mix into the bathtub(浴缸)or to cool off with after your bath.Oregon,on Highway224.To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful M The Bagby Springs are about45minutes from Estacada,t.Hood National Forest.While in the area,make sure to visit Portland, which is known for its coffee,restaurants,and music.The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring,or in summer or fall.While in the area,check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area,where you can enjoy canoeing,fishing,bird watching,camping,and hiking.1.What does the underlined word in the3rd paragraph mean?A.sharedfortableC.personalmon2.The two springs are similar to each other in________.A.the temperature of the two springsB.beautiful views near the springsC.the walking distance from the parking lotD.the design of the bathhouses3.You’d better visit these springs in the following months except________.A.MayB.JulyC.OctoberD.December4.Where might we read this passage?A.A report.B.A paper.C.A magazine.D.A diary.BIt was winter but people were everywhere in London at the weekend.They were in T-shirts or sandals(凉鞋).Monday was another warm day,without a cloud in the sky,and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical,honey-coloured color.It brought to mind one of those summer evenings you experienced in childhood,when you’d be in the park all day and your parents let you stay out until bedtime,and you felt like you were doing something deliciously naughty just by being there.It wasn’t early summer:it was February.And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem(全球生态系统)for many years,and that’s how we go into this pickle.We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening. Less than a month ago,there was a video of extreme(极端的)cold weather coming out of Chicago.Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground. OK,that was on the other side of the world,and its temperature was-11℃then.On Monday,though,the temperature hit20.3℃in Ceredigion,West Wales:the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached20℃in winter.This isn’t good,is it?The10hottest years on record have all happened within the past20years,the five hottest were the last five.Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up,while the papers describe the weather as wonderful.There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily.They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves,when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold.It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.5.What does the author want to do in the first paragraph?A.To introduce a beautiful summer.B.To encourage kids to play outside.C.To share his daily activities with us.D.To describe the scene of a warm winter.6.Why is Chicago’s weather mentioned?A.To compare it with that of London.B.To attract more people to Chicago.C.To show it is well-known for an online video.D.To encourage more people to post videos online.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The author hoped people stayed indoors.B.The author worries about global warming.C.The papers misled the public in weather reports.D.The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold.CFacebook was running my life.But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo,and five minutes later my son asked me how many“likes”it had got.His question was a wake-up call.“Likes”are signs of acceptance and approval(赞同).I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.Before absorbed in Facebook，I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines.I checked in with friends through texts,emails and phone calls.To set a healthier example to my son,I deactivated my Facebook account.I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day,so I had to comeup with some new habits.I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me.I rediscovered knitting.I started taking yoga classes.I started to remember a few things.My body is fine just the way it is.I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble,and I will help them out.I do my best to be a good mother,and our son is happy and healthy.We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone.I felt completely present in the moment.The break left me feeling better about myself,my family,my home and my life.After a few weeks,I returned to Facebook.Now I look at the photos of my friends’kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family.I no longer have the desire to post updates often.It is not an addiction(上瘾)any more.8.What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook?A.Her poor health.B.Her son’s question.C.Her not receiving“likes”.D.Her mother’s phone call.9.What did the author do to change her life?A.She traveled around a lot for a year.B.She developed some healthy habits.C.She tried to make money for her holidays.D.She went to the gym as often as she could.10.What is the author’s attitude toward social media?A She supports them completely.B.She is strongly against them.C.She thinks they are useful but shouldn’t be overused.D.She thinks they are not harmful at all.第二节从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
