But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”-Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school sy stem, chances are you’ve come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation ). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly,” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.1. What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?A. FunnyB. StrangeC. TrueD. Confusing2. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?A. He is Syona’s favorite teacher.B. He praises his students one by oneC. He use videos to teach his studentsD. He asks his students to help each other3. Syona felt very pleased because_____.A. she has developed a cool attitudeB. her mother knew what she expressedC. her progress was appreciated by her parentsD. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate4. What change has taken place in the author’s family?A. They give each other praise every dayB. They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularlyC. They feel grateful to people in their livesD. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home2、 "Barefoot Mike" gets a lot of attention when he shows up at the beginning of a race. He loves to run and has been running since he was a kid. He loves to race, and often competes in 10K races. But that’s not the reason he gets so much attention. People notice him because when he runs, “Barefoot Mike” runs barefoot.Running barefoot has become a h uge trend in the world of running. “I didn't set out to be a trend setter,” laughed“Barefoot Mike”, otherwise known as Mike Whitaker. “I've always been a runner, but until a few years ago, I always wore shoes. Then one day I was running after a rainstorm. I stepped off into the grass to avoid a puddle(水坑) on the sidewalk, and accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle that had been hidden in the grass. I tried to keep running, but the wet and dirty shoe made it really hard. I figured the best solution w as to just get rid of the shoes.”Mike took off his shoes and dropped them into the nearest trash can. “Then I started running. At first I went really slowly because I was watching out for rocks or other things that could hurt my feet, but there really wer en't any problems.” He started going faster. “It felt so good!” Mike said. “My knee, which always ached, didn't ache. My foot was able to spread out so I had better balance. And my feet didn't feel all hot and sweaty. It was awesome!”“There are actually potential health benefits to running barefoot,” saidDr. Nancy Bower, a podiatrist(足科医师).A recent study agrees. A team of researchers recently videotaped several people running —first wearing shoes and then barefoot. In almost every case, when wearing sho es, the runners tended to land on the heel of their foot, which they call “heel-striking.” Many runners have impact injuries such as knee pain. Heel striking may be the cause of these injuries or may make an existing injury worse.When running barefoot, the runners tended to land on the middle part of the foot. The force is spread out throughout the foot. The ankle, shin(胫部), knee and hip don't get the shock of a hard landing with every step.5. Why does Mike receive a lot of attention while running?A. Because he runs very fast.B. Because he loses his shoes.C. Because he wears no shoes.D. Because he wears strange clothes.6. According to Paragraph 2, why did Mike run barefoot years ago?A. He liked running barefoot.B. He was advised to run barefoot.C. His shoe became very uncomfortable.D. His dream of becoming famous motivated him.7. After running barefoot for a while a few years ago, Mike ________.A. was very tiredB. was badly hurtC. gave up runningD. felt unexpectedly great8. According to the recent study, heelstriking ________.A. is bad for one's healthB. is caused by existing injuriesC. happens when one runs barefootD. can be avoided by wearing sports shoes.3、It’s always been a rule in my family, spoken or unspoken, that you don’t waste food. With six children herself and having grown up in an even larger family through the Great Depression, my mother would never tolerate throwing out the amounts of food we see routinely these days in the dumpster. We were told simply to clean our plates, no matter whether we liked the taste or if we were not hungry or not. So this subject is deep in my genes and upbringing.Estimates are that nearly one third of all food produced is wasted. USDA estimates 31% of food available at retail (零售)level is wasted. 12% of landfill material is food. 28% of agricultural land produces food which is wasted, says the FAO. 18% of vegetables, and 12% of the apple crop are lost at the farm level in the United States., say experts.Luckily, there’s an “ugly food” movement picking up steam. “Ugly” foods are those that sellers and buyers often reject because of their appearance, like misshapen vegetables and bruised(擦伤的) fruits. Farmers dump them. Supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Now supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Consumers historically have avoided them. Now supermarkets feature the ugly. It’s fashionable. More artful terms are favored. A French supermarket chain is selling “inglorious” foods. The British chain ASDA uses “wonky(歪斜的)” (which to American ea rs might sound as bad as “ugly.”) Canada’s Loblaws uses “naturally imperfect.” Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has cast himself as a promoter of the “good food movement,” has signed on with some British chains to support their efforts.With the effort of Kretschmann Farm CSA’s we’ve taken the line that rather than throw away things which would be classified by others as ugly, inglorious, orimperfect, we would just give them to you and you could decide. Either we throw them away, or you can. Oftentimes this adds to the volume of the box, or makes it a little more urgent to consume (because sometimes those rejected foods are just very ripe!).9. When the author was a kid, he .A. often suffered from hungerB. was not allowed to waste foodC. had to wash plates after a mealD. didn’t like the taste of his food10. What does the underlined part “picking up steam” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Coming to an end.B. Facing a challenge.C. Making a selection.D. Becoming more popular.11. The Kretschmann Farm CSA .A. provides perfect food for customersB. sells food mot of which is very ripeC. tries to bring ugly food to customersD. encourage the consumption of food4、 Most times, what people accept as hope is a feeling or thought that something desired may happen. The word hope is a guarantee(保证)of happiness without a doubt. Hope in ancient Greek is “elpis” meaning “to expect or look forward with pleasure”. Orison Swett Marden says “there is no medicine as great and powerful expectation of something better tomorro w.”Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the world’s most influential personalities of this century. When he was young, mining for Africans was hell on earth, because they were treated very badly and there were no key positions in the industry for them because it was believed that the black could not manage their affairs successfully. Even in the face of all these challenges and discriminations, Jonah hoped to head the industry someday. When he told his workmates and parents about his hope, he became a laughing stock. Not giving up on his hope, he worked hard toward it and at last he became president of Anglo Gold Ashanti.Hope without doubt helps you to work hard until you finally achieve your aims or goals. Hope keeps one alive and also helps us persevere (坚持) to succeed. Someone may say “I’ve tried and failed several times”. As a matter of fact, failure is inevitable(无法避免的) sometimes but that doesn’t overrule your ability to succeed. The key is that you can’t give up your hope. Our history has seen many great achi evers. Though they hoped they could make it, they also failed; however, they didn’t give up on their hope. They worked even harder and eventually succeeded.Today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage, remember “faith without work is dead”, so is your dream or hope. Samuel Similes says “Hope is the companion (伙伴) of power, the mother of success, for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles (奇迹).” So don’t let your hope down.12. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. How to remain hopeful.B. What hope really means.C. The importance of having hope.D. The relationship between hope and pleasure.13. The author uses the example of Samuel Esson Jonah mainly to _________.A. prove that hope can lead to successB. prove a lowly man can also succeedC. show the times produce their heroesD. show it’s hard for a black to succeed14. According to Paragraph 3, to succeed one should _________.A. acquire great abilityB. avoid quitting easilyC. try to understand historyD. stop being overconfident15. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Hope is just a choiceB. Keep your hope aliveC. Failure breeds successD. How to achieve success三、短文改错(共1题)1、假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?● Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.● Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?● Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number doctors recommend.● Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day—often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?● Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.● Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.1. What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.2. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands ________.A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. eight times a day3.

山西省忻州二中2020-2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Many people suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green — a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. Red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的)colors around.1.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A.Women are more careful.B.There are few color-blind women.C.Women are fonder of driving than men.D.Women are weaker but quicker in thinking2.This passage is mainly about ________.A.color and its surprising effectsB.women being luckier than menC.danger caused by color blindnessD.color blindness3.According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can _____A.tell orange from yellowB.see in weak lightC.kill mosquitoesD.tell different shapes4.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.A.red light B.yellow lightC.blue light D.green lightIn the past most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.That’s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometime s it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we havediscovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that t hings would turn out right in the end.”Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter,calmer, more trusting.5.Now in an American family, people can find that ____.A.children never live with their parentsB.not all working people live with their parentsC.aged people are supported by their grandchildrenD.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents6.The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.A.the old don’t like to live in a big familyB.the young can’t get enough money to support the oldC.different generations have different lifestylesD.the old are too weak to live with the young7.The fact that the reporter told us shows that ___.A.old people in America lead a hard lifeB.old people in America enjoy banana breadC.she had no time to take care of her childrenD.old people are easy to get along with8.Why do children not get attention from their parents?A.Because they often make trouble and make their parents disappointed.B.Because their parents are too busy to take care of them.C.Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents.D.Because their parents have been out of work for a long time.Have you ever heard about Ramadan?Ramadan is one of the most important festivals for Muslims. The name of the festival comes from the Arabic month‘in which it is celebrated. Ramadan is celebrated in countries all over the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. The time for celebrating Ramadan varies each year. People celebrate it in the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, people must not eat during the day: from when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down, people celebrating Ramadan will not eat or smoke. When the sun has gone down, however, the celebration begins. People often stay up all night eating singing and dancing.In late spring, many people around the world celebrate Easter. The festival is a celebration of spring and it is also a religious holiday. It is the time for Easter bunnies and egg hunts, and ofcourse for eating lots of delicious foods. Easter is celebrated in late March or early April but the exact dates are different form year to year. People celebrate Easter in different ways: in some countries, the Easter Bunny—a big rabbit—will visit and children will go on egg hunts, looking for eggs and candy that have been hidden by their parents. In other countries, Easter is a time for children to dress up like witches and go from door to door asking for candy—much like Halloween in the US. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Egg are popular symbols of the festival. 9.Ramadan and Easter are .A.festivals celebrated in Asia and AfricaB.the only festivals that people like to celebrate during the day.C.two names of the yearD.festivals celebrated by people all over the world10.During Ramadan, people do not during Easter.A.talk B.singC.eat D.sleep11.In some countries, children will go on during the day.A.picnics B.egg hurtsC.trips D.fighting12.The two main popular symbols of Easter are the and the . A.Easter Man, Easter egg B.Easter Bunny, Easter treeC.Easter Man, Easter tree D.Easter Bunny, Easter eggMr. Parker was born in a poor family and his father couldn’t send him to school. The boy had to help his parents to do some farming and learned English and maths by himself when he was free. Later on he was made to leave his home village and hoped to find a job in a city. And as soon as war broke out, he joined the army. He couldn’t forget his terrible past and fought with the enemies bravely. So he became a general when he was fifty. He was honest and friendly to his soldiers and often punished those who tried to pocket a portion of the soldiers’ pay (克扣军饷). And his soldiers liked him very much.Once Mr. Parker heard from a soldier. In the letter the young man said the food in their military camp was very bad and he wished the general could go to find out the reasons, the old man went there at once, without telling anybody. He went in the kitchen and examined everything carefully and found it was very dirty. Then he went in the soldiers’ bedrooms andfound there were a lot of fleas. He became angry and asked the soldiers, “What do you think of your food, young men?”The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing Only a new soldier said, “Very bad, sir!”“What did you have for lunch today?” asked Mr. Parker.“A fried chicken, some fish and pork, a cake, six eggs and I had three cups of wine.”“Really?” Mr. Parker called out in surprise. “It’s the King’s lunch, I think!”“So do I, General,” said the young man. “But it’s my birthday today. I paid three hundred dollars for them all in the restaurant!”13.Mr. Parker was respected because .A.he was friendly to everybodyB.he cared about his soldiersC.he was strict with the officersD.he paid attention to the soldiers letters14.Mr. Parker went to the military camp to .A.look for the soldier who wrote to himB.find out if the matter in the letter was trueC.inspect the kitchensD.punish the cooks15.The so ldiers didn’t say anything because .A.they were afraid of the general B.they thought their foods were good C.the officer followed the general D.the general didn’t agree with them二、七选五Do you know how to be realistic?

GaryBI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰)on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! Thehomeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Getting injured in his work.B. Efforts made in vain.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.5. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To cure a young owl.D. To look at a baby owl.6. What made the chick calm down?A. Some food.B. A new nest.C.A recording.D. Its parents.7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s beautiful.B. It’s unexpected.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milkpowder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.8. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later9. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten timesB. It can make people more energeticC. It exists in milk in great amountD. It’s used in sleeping dru gs10. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Fat Sugar and HealthB. Night Milk and SleepC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health11. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By providing research results.D. By explaining statistical dataDIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s“Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists te n books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll c ome clean:I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).12. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By looking into his background.C. By discussing the book itself.D. By mentioning a famous name.13. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.B. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.14. By lying about reading, a person hopes to .A. appear knowledgeableB. control the conversationC. learn about the bookD. make more friends15. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. Favorable.B. UncaringC. FriendlyD. Doubtful第二节:七选五(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15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。
