ElizabethThis is a wonderful film about Elizabeth Ⅰ,who was faced with the difficult task of becoming a wise and strong monarch(君主).Cate Blanchett is amazing in the role of the queen-majestic,powerful,and strong-willed-who opens a "golden age" in the history of England.Suspense,passion,betrayal,adventure-all these things are combined in this thrilling and epic(史诗的)movie with perfect scenes and wonderful performances by the actors.Thelma & LouiseLouise is working in a diner as a waitress and has some problems with her boyfriend Jimmy,who,as a musician,is always on the road.Thelma is married to Darry who likes his wife to stay quiet in the kitchen so that he can watch football on TV.One day they decide to break out of their normal life and jump in the car and hit the road.Their journey,however,turns into a flight when Louise kills a man who threatens to harm Thelma.Erin BrockovichThe film is about Erin Brockovich,a strong woman.She may not be a genius,but her persistence (坚持)and concern for the fate of others allow her to achieve the impossible:a victory over a powerful and major corporation that is poisoning people on purpose.When you are about to give up on something,simply watch this movie for motivation.The Devil Wears PradaAs assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor MirandaPriestly,young and smart Andy Sachs has landed a job that "a million girls would diefor".Unfortunately,her heaven-sent appointment as Miranda's personal girl just might be the death of her!1.Which movie shows the struggle against an evil company?______A.

It is quite normal for women to help each other when they are in need.BWhen Spring cleaning season arrived this year I decided that it was time to get rid of more than just a Winter's worth of dust and dirt.It was the time to get rid of years worth of accumulated (累积的)stuff as well.This stuff was lining my walls,filling my shelves,and crowding my closets.This stuff was filling my home and my mind and not bringing me one bit of happiness.I couldn't even remember how I got some of it,but I knew I wanted it gone.It turned out to be an even bigger job than I thought. Twenty-year-old bills and receipts were thrown in the trash.Piles of papers were no longer necessary or needed.Broken bowls,dented pans,and cracked knickknacks were finally thrown away.Unworn clothes were taken out of the closet and packed to be given away to the local charity.Old books were boxed up to be passed on for others to read and enjoy.It took several days to get it all done,but in the end I was able to walk through a home that seemed a little less messed.My heart was a lot lighter too.It felt so good to be able to get rid of all the junk and to just focus on the essential stuff in life again.What is the essential stuff?What is the stuff that bring meaning to our day?A loving heart isessential.A joyful spirit is essential.A soul full of goodness and God is essential.And a life full of sharing all of these things is absolutely essential.The essential stuff can't be bought,sold,or stored.It can only be chosen,created,and given away.The essential stuff is the stuff we all really want.It is the stuff we all really need.4.Which word can describe the author's feeling towards accumulated stuff?______A.

There is more unnecessary stuff than I think.6.In which section of a magazine can we read this text?______A. Lifestyle.B. Technology.C. Health.D. Education.7.What is the best title of the text?______A. It's Time To Move OnB. What Matters MostC. How To Get Rid Of JunkD. What Is JunkCArtificial intelligence becoming self-ware and ending the human race is a common theme in science fiction.The levels of high intelligence that AI could reach is a real concern among some scientists.But with more talk of AI and smart devices in the home,what are the merits of bringing these things into your life?Hans Rosling,a professor of international health,once spoke about the impact and changes that the washing machine made.The once tough task of cleaning clothes by hand was taken on by a machine and freed up more time for other activities.There are so many smart devices that you can fill your home with.Imagine waking up to find a hot,freshly brewed cup of coffee,spotless floors that have been recently cleaned and the house set to the perfect temperature.With smart devices,these things can happen while you sleep.The potential to pre-program and automate (自动化)parts of your life means that you can focus on other tasks in your life.But there is a difference between smart devices and AI.Smart devices are the things that get on with the tasks,while AI can "think" or interact,and can be used to control the smart devices.There are many voice-activated AI systems which can control the smart devices around your home.You can ask these devices to start making coffee,dim the lights when they're toobright or even make sure the house is secure.You can inquire as to the weather outside,ask them to play music or search the internet for you when you have a burning question about history or the latest cooking recipes.Some of these devices even have a sense of humor,and upon asking them certain questions,they will answer.In short,in some ways,they can act as company.But how far will it go?Well,we already have self-driving cars and sentient(智能的)tech that can automatically order the delivery of certain products to restock our fridge when we're running low,but often in films and games we see robots taking over all of the domestic duties.It seems for now,that those things only live in our imaginations,but we could be seeing them sooner than we think.8.What does the underlined "merits" word in paragraph 1 mean?______A. Dangers.B. Positives.C. Tasks.D. Troubles.9.What is the advantage of having smart devices according to Hans Rosling?______A. People can write more science fictions about them.B. People take total control of these devices.C. People have more time to do other tasks.D. People can interact with smart devices.10.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?______A. By listing figures.B. By presenting causes.C. By providing examples.D. By following time order.11.What is the author's prediction about AI?______A. It will kill all human beings in the future.B. Our world will be kept under control by AI.C. Human beings do not need AI in the near future.D. Our life will become totally automatically convenient with AI.DTraditional wisdom says that if you want to be richer,a useful thing to do is get married.Life is cheaper when only one mortgage(贷款)to pay and someone else can do certain tasks-cooking or car repair more efficiently than you.The research by Ohio State University's Zagorsky shows the married increase their wealth an average 16% a year,while those who are single increase their net worth at half that rate.Yet the economic benefit of marriage isn't what it used to be.In a book,ChangingPoverty,Changing Policies,a social scientist show that the marriage premium(附加值)hasfallen.Cancian,a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,set out to study how the changing make-up of American families has affected the number of people below the poverty line.Considering how the rate of marriage has fallen and the rate of divorce has risen,the researcher expected the number of people with their born younger generation living below the poverty line to grow by 2.6%.But when he looked at the data,poverty had increased by less than half that amount.Why?Because single women,even those with kids,have an easier time supporting themselves outside of marriage than they used to.More women are working,increasingly for wages that are competitive with those of men.Women are having children later in life,and fewer ofthem.Besides,a growing percentage of women who have children but aren't married don't live on their own.In 1970,62% of single mothers were the only adult in their household,but by 2019,just 55% are living without another means of support-thanks to more women living together with a male partner or grandparent.That's not to say marriage doesn't coincide with(与一致)economic benefits.A child in a single-parent family,for instance,is five times as likely to live below the poverty line.What Cancian tries to illustrate,though,is that marriage wouldn't necessarily produce morewealth.Marrying someone who is unemployed for a long time might very well not be an economic increase.12.According to paragraph 1,what's the benefit of getting married?______A. The wealth of the married people increased more.B. One could leave the housework to the other.C. The couple could own more than one house.D. The couple would become the rich people.13.Paragraph 3 is centered on ______ .A. women do not want to have children or just fewer of them.B. more women are working and can make more money than men.C. single women meet fewer challenges to feed themselves than before.D. single mothers now enjoy living with a male partner or grandparents.14.According to Cancian,what produces more wealth in marriage?______A. One of the marriage partners must have strong economic background.B. The couples are not trapped in unemployment for a long time.C. The men who support the families have a good salary.D. The women can earn much more than their partners.15.What is the purpose of the text?______A. To give information about marriage and wealth.B. To suggest a new method of building more wealth.C. To compare married persons with single ones.D. To persuade people to get married.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)How to get energetic after working hoursAfter a long workday,all you want to do is go home,sit on the couch and turn on the TV.So you've planned to go to the gym after work?"I'll go tomorrow,I promise." (1) .Here are some tips for getting yourself to hit the gym after a tiresome workday,offered by Women's Health magazine:(2) .Why not change the "Ker-calm and carry on" poster to some inspirational shape messages around' your workplace?If you think "No pains,no gains" is too ordinary,how about "And though she may be but little,she is fierce."?When your colleagues ask about it,tell them the quote is from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.Eat breakfast.Even though it's hours before your trip to the gym,having a balanced breakfast will keep you energized throughout the rest of the day.

He slowly leaned in-at which point I was thinking he was about to(33) in my face-and he said,"I don't have to fart(放屁)anymore because you (34) it out of me."

重庆市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Lonely Planet’s best in travel destinations for 2024 revealed To mark its 50th anniversary, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2024 has expanded from the top 10 best cities, countries, and regions to include two new categories of best value and best sustainable destinations, recognising a total of 50 locations across the globe offering amazing experiences to enjoy in 2024.Spain tops the sustainable travel list, having taken enormous strides to boost off-season travel, expand renewable energy, spread visitors across the year, and bring tourism to previously overlooked destinations.Wales too has been recognised as one of those leading the way in sustainability, thanks to its rebuilt railways expanding the possibilities of exploring the nation’s wild, wonderful west.And bouncing back strongly from the 2020 bushfires is Kangaroo Island, which remains one of South Australia’s great ecotourism destinations.Slow Travel, a favourite topic with Lonely Planet readers, is celebrated by highlighting the Portuguese Way hiking trail and the continued rise of night trains in Europe.Meanwhile the popular sun-kissed country of Croatia is now easier to explore with the opening of the Peljesac Bridge shining a spotlight on the previously overlooked Peljesac Peninsula and a new highway means it’s now possible to travel directly between Split and Dubrovnik.Algeria, the USA’s Midwest, Greek island of Ikaria and Normandy are just a few of those great value and often overlooked destinations, ideal for the cost-conscious traveller.For those seeking to enjoy the great outdoors, the new Western Balkans’ Cycle Route is set to open in 2024 and Far North Scotland is bidding for UNESCO status for its unsung boggy area and a coastline of heartbreaking beauty.1.Lonely Planet’s has expanded Best in Travel 2024 mainly to ________.A.Response to negative comments on previous lists.B.Fill diversity in Travel Preferences.C.Mark its 50th anniversary.D.Respond to a decline in travel interest.2.What transport development in Croatia makes it easier to explore?A.Opening of the Peljesac Bridge.B.Expansion of renewable energy.C.Repair and rebuilding of railways.D.Building a new highway in Ikaria. 3.For those who love cycling, which place is most appealing?A.North Scotland.B.Croatia.C.Greek.D.WesternBalkans.In October 2023, 3-year-old Journey Castillo completed a quest to visit all 63 of America’s national parks. Her parents, Eric and Valerie Castillo, said she is likely the youngest person to reach that milestone.The family, from San Antonio, Texas, ended their travels with a trip to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. “Mission complete,” they wrote on Instagram. “After three years of adventure, countless logistics work and not giving up, we could not be more proud to share the conclusion of our quest.” Journey hasn’t been officially verified as the youngest traveler to visit all 63 parks. But more important than the title, her parents say, is the experience.“Our thing was: ‘Let’s… inspire in Journey a passion for nature, inspire in her that she can handle the strenuous parts of the traveling: the environments, the weather changes, different cultures.” Valerie Castillo told The Guardian’s Ramon Antonio Vargas.Before she could walk, Journey Castillo’s parents set out to visit every national park in the U.S. They hiked up Pikes Peak and explored Rocky Mountain National Park, all with an infant in tow. As far as they could tell, Journey seemed to enjoy herself.“We could see her little eyes open and take it all in,” Valerie Castillo told the San Antonio Express-News last year. “She was so aware, even being a few days old. She’s adapted so well.”They then ventured to Grand Canyon National Park — and decided to keep going. They set a goal of visiting 21 parks by Journey’s first birthday, then 42 parks by her second birthday. Eventually, they decided to go for all 63 parks. The family has been documenting every step of the way on Instagram and their website, Journey Go Explore.Reaching the last few parks on their list — all in Alaska — required lots of logistical management, including renting flights, ferry rides, and even special permission from theNational Park Service to visit a seasonally closed park. Though their visit was challenging at times, the Castillos say it helped their daughter develop confidence. Journey walks fearlessly through airports and happily greets park rangers. “When she’s out at these parks, she comes to life, and her personality brightens up,” Eric Castillo said.4.Why did Journey Castillo’s parents take her to visit all America’s national parks?A.To inspire others to be more active.B.To document their travels on Instagram.C.To inspire a passion for nature in Journey.D.To break a record as the youngest traveler.5.What does the underlined word “strenuous” probably mean in the third paragraph?A.identical B.appealing C.mild D.challenging 6.What did the parents perceive about Journey during their visits to national parks?A.She was uninterested in the surroundings.B.She adapted well and seemed to enjoy herself.C.She preferred staying indoors with her parents.D.She only enjoyed specific environments and attractions.7.How did Eric Castillo describe Journey’s personality during those travels?A.Shy and introverted.B.Reliable and anxious.C.Fearful and splendid.D.Enthusiastic and confident.“Don’t be a victim.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear a lot if you take a crime-prevention class. Basically, it means that there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be mugged, assaulted, or otherwise attacked. Don’t wave your cash around like you’re a billionaire. Don’t be distracted on the subway. Walk with a purpose.That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that “he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc…” Unfortunately, research demonstrated the reality that criminals do in fact look for, or at least notice certain characters when selecting potential victims. While nothing excuses crime, knowledge is power in the sense that there are things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out alone.In the report titled “Psychopathy and Victim Selection” the researchers surveyed 47 criminals at a maximum-security prison in Ontario and found that social predators are very good at picking victims based on their posture and gait(步伐). They noted that people might be releasing vulnerability to criminals through their postures, gestures, and exaggerated movements.The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking — eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim. These “victim ratings” were then compared against each person’s actual history of victimization. Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as “likely victims” were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have “walked like an easy target” — slowly, unfocused, with short steps.The sample size here is really small. Maybe we shouldn’t give this study’s findings too much weight. Nevertheless, it emphasizes something that seems pretty unconscious. Criminals aren’t looking for a challenge. Rather, they want someone timid and inattentive. So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster. 8.Why does the author mention the serial killer Ted Bundy?A.To call on more people to learn psychology.B.To prove that someone can be a natural criminal.C.To demonstrate some skills to distinguish criminals.D.To emphasize the importance of the right walking habit.9.How did the researchers conduct their research on victim selection?A.By analyzing crime data in various neighborhoods.B.By filming people walking and getting criminals’ opinions.C.By filming criminals as they selected their potential victims.D.By studying the psychology of crime victims in a maximum-security prison. 10.According to the research which gait will most attract criminals’ attention?A.Distracted walking with short steps.B.Purposeful walking with slow steps.C.Walking with a group of people cheerfully.D.Walking with confident and exaggerated movements.11.What’s the author’s attitude toward walking confidently and aggressively?A.Favorable.B.Doubtful.C.Disapproving.D.Indifferent.I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian, and none of my six regular jobs have anything to do with foreign policy, but the other day I opened Twitter (now called X) after some time offline, only to find people I don’t know demanding that I make a public statement about what’s happening in the Middle East. It seemed that most of the people on social media had made a statement, including various well-known brands, celebrities and lifestyle influencers.I saw lots of random citizens being told that if they didn’t speak out, they, too, would have blood on their hands. Taking a stand on social media instantly will win wild applause but reduces complex issues to a simple yes or no.Those social media posts without serious thinking are not what bother me most, though. Instead, it’s the idea that not posting is wrong — that everyone needs to speak, all the time. It discourages shutting up and listening and letting the voices that matter the most be heard over the noise. It implies it’s not OK to have any uncertainty about what’s going on. It does not leave time or space for people to process disturbing events in their own minds or to gather more information before pronouncing a judgment. It pressures people who don’t have an opinion yet or are working out what they think to produce one opinion immediately and present it to an audience of total strangers on the Internet who will quickly judge whether it’s appropriate or not.“Nothing pays off like self-control of tongue and pen,” writes A.A.’s co-founder Bill Wilson. “We must avoid quick-tempered criticism and extreme anger,” which he calls “emotional idiot got trapped by pride and revenge.” While I’ve regretted posting half-formed thoughts too quickly, I’ve never regretted waiting until I was less angry or not posting at all. 12.Why does the author mention his/her race and jobs in the first paragraph?A.To reflect the author’s professional research background.B.To introduce the topic of the widespread use of social media.C.To discuss the impact of social media violating personal privacy.D.To express dissatisfaction with commenting on something without personal ties. 13.What bothered the author most about social media posts?A.Pressure to take a stand.B.Shutting up and listening.C.Lack of diversity in opinions.D.Complex issues reduced to yes or no.14.What can we infer based on what Bill Wilson said?A.Avoiding creating argument is a virtue.B.Quick-tempered criticism is rewarding.C.Producing immediate opinion is an ability.D.Control of what you say and write is beneficial.15.Which would be the best title for this text?A.“Speak Out for the Disadvantages in a Social Media Age”B.“I Don’t Have To Post About My Anger, Neither Do You”C.“Silence Is Golden: A Guide to Ignoring World Issues Like a Pro”D.“Keep Angry, Keep Reasonable: Avoiding the Mess on Social Media”How to Have Open CommunicationWhen you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. 16 There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.17 Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen. 18Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. 19 This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow. 20 After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needsand your experiences. By doing so, you’re hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.A.Wait for the appropriate time and place.B.Discuss what you need to communicate openly.C.Bring something positive into your communication.D.This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.E.Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.F.Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.G.Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.二、完形填空Krista Sheneman was diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病) around five years ago.

AThe following list includes some books that come highly recommended by millions of readers and also a short summary of the highlights of each work.The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David ManI didn't even expect that such a short book could make a huge difference in my way towards life.It simply explains complex laws that direct mankind, and concludes that there is always truth in the opposite.Dao De Jing, by LaoziDao De Jing is one of the finest books on philosophy written by Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher and poet.

It is a must-read for everyone who wishes toform lifetime habits.The Road Less Travelled, by Scott PeckSimply put. Buy this book for the path towards understanding in a spiritual way that strengthens your personal growth. This book never gives you easy solutions to the challenges of life. It simply is part of life and leaves you with better understanding to lead a fulfilled life.1. Who can tell you the secrets of becoming rich?A Wallace D WattlesB Bob Burg and John David MannC LaoziD Charles Duhigg.2. Which of the following ideas may Scott Peck agree with?A Habits can shape our future.B There is always truth in the oppositeC We should find easy solutions to challengesD Difficulty is often part of personal growth3. What can we know about the books mentioned above?A They are all easily writtenB They are all popular booksC All their writers are foreignersD All the books are about life goalsBThe horse I'm riding is named Candy, which is appropriate, taking account of her love for eating. As we go our way down the mountain of Big Bend National Park, Texas, I'm sweating—half due to the hot weather, half due to an effort to stay on the horse. Candy, however, is relaxed and stops to eat cactuses (仙人掌) as she passes. She is used to the dusty trails through hills and canyons(大峡谷) and ignores my attempts to guide her away from her delicious food. Our ride becomes a battle of will, which Candy wins easily. I comfort myself by admiring the views across Big Bend's wide open spaces.Texas only national park, Big Bend, extends across 800,000 acres of the Chihuahuan Desert, in the deep southwest of the state right along the border with Mexico. It is named after the U-turnthat the Rio Grande River makes here. It has seen a lot of fights. The Spanish, Anglo-American settles, Mexicans, and Apache and Comanche American Indians all fought to rule this place.Our group member, Mike, knows every corner of the park and describes it as “sort of a secret place”. Even some Texans don't know about Big Bend, he says. Other local people describe it as a forgotten national park. Compared with the almost five million travellers that descend on the Grand Canyon every year, only 30000 make it here.There are six of us in the riding group, all fairly inexperienced, led by tour guides, Linda and Janelle, who keep both us and the horses in line. We trek along the top of an 800-foot mountain, with wide-winged eagles flying beside us. The air is noiseless.The park is fantastic for hikes and has a variety of marked walking paths. The walk is afive-mile round trip. While the final stretch is rather steep, the views over giant canyons and plains are worth the effort.4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A The writer is relaxed while riding,B The writer wants to punish Candy for not walking straightC The writer is good at riding a horse on the mountainD The writer can hardly guide Candy away from the cactuses5. We can learn all of the following about Big Bend National Park EXCEPT that______ .A it is the only national park in TexasB it is located right along the border with MexicoC Texans fought to rule this place in the pastD it is described as a “forgotten national park”6. In the third paragraph, the underlined words, “descend on”, can be replaced by______ .A think highly of itB pay a visit toC make an attack onD pass by7. Which word can best describe the author's feelings after the hard journey?A WorthwhileB UpsetC GratefulD TiredCLearning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch(JT) their heads.Here's an example: You happen to hear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although there's nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English - the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these strange usages filling its pages.How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don't like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to spend a penny means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.In an interview for the BBC's website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the sheer number of odd words and. phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and. early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theatre, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theatre's popularity also created an incentive (刺激) to invent new words.With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash”—which both, ironically, mean nonsense.While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.8. According to the text, why may non-native speakers find it hard to learn English?A A great many strange words make no sense to themB Dictionaries don't explain odd usages of many wordsC The English textbooks they study are usual out of dateD The English vocabulary is too large for them to learn9. With the example of “spend a penny” the author intends to______ .A explain the meaning and background of the phraseB explain how some strange phases were createdC show what typical British sense of humour isD show British people's attitude toward strange words10. According to David Crystal,______ .A many of the words that Shakespeare invented were nonsenseB Shakespeare's works are boring because of he odd words involvedC he theatre's success in the 17th century inspired the birth of many odd wordsD he odd words in Shakespeare's plays contributed a lot to the theatre's popularity11. What is the text mainly about?A The development of the British EnglishB Shakespeare's influence on British EnglishC The origin and meanings of British humourD Some reasons for the large number of odd words in British EnglishDA so-called “smart drug” intended to improve people's cognitive (认知的) function to protect the brain from altitude sickness.Visiting high-altitude sites for work, spot, religious pilgrimages and military can result in cognitive effects, including memory loss and attention difficulties. There's little you can do to prevent these symptoms except acclimatize -but this takes time and doesn't always work. A drug called oxiracetam might be the answer.ShengLi Hu at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China and her colleagues studied the performance of male military personnel at altitude. All lived in towns around 1,800 meters above sea level, During the study, they spent eight days at this altitude and then climbed for three days to reach 4,000 meters, where they stayed for up to a month.Twenty participants took oxriacetam three times a day for the first 15 days of the study, while another 20 received no intervention. The man did tests of attention and memory at the start and end of the study and 20 days in, by which time they had been at 4,000 meters for nine days.While all the participants experienced a drop in cognitive ability at 4,00 meters, those who took oxiracetam showed a much smaller drop than the control group.The team found that at high altitude the brain stem, which plays a critical role in supporting basic living functions, received blood at the expense of areas responsible for more advancedcognitive functions. But in people who took oxiracetam, blood flowing throughout the brain rose,thus offering more oxygen to these areas. This may be how the drug seems to lessen cognitive problems like with low oxygen.It isn't yet known whether diverting blood in this way could have negative effects in the long run. "The results are striking and imply that oxiracetam may be beneficial for helping to relieve cognitive ability decline caused by altitude." says Timothy Hales at the University of Dundee, UK.12. The underlined word “acclimatize” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______ .A adaptB ignoreC existD relax13. What does the experiment done in China indicate?A The higher altitude you are at, the slower your brain will be.B At 4,000 meters, the two subject groups show little difference.C Memory tests are beneficial to relieving attention difficulties.D Smart drug" largely reduces negative effects of altitude sickness.14. According to the passage, the root cause of the cognitive effects lies in______ .A physical tirednessB low oxygen contentC cognitive trainingD extreme high altitude15. What is the best title for the passage?A Fight High AnxietyB Oxiacetam - A Magic DrugC Keep Sharp at AltitudeD Problems on High-altitude Sites第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

重庆市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期期末英语试题
重庆市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期期末英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择A good advertisement will draw customer’s attention towards your product. That is what every business really wants, in addition to your actually buying their product. In this article we will round up several great ads that cover many different styles but all have one thing in common, that is they connect to their audience.King Oscar: OpenThis ad puts forward an idea that King Oscar's fish products are as fresh as they can possibly get. This idea is then realized by combining a fish and one of their canned products showing the customer they will be buying a fish straight from the ocean. This simplistic image gives off just enough to tell the consumer what the deal is with their product.Panasonic 3D TV: DinoHere is another ad that has a lot going on but still is able to get its message across fairly easily. We will first notice the dinosaur in the mess living room but then see the girl pointing at the TV, which will give us the impression that Panasonic's 3D televisions are extremely realistic. The great art direction leads to the customer understanding what product is on display almost immediately.Pepsi: StrawsThis clever Pepsi ad conveys a lot to the customer; at first glance it gives the impression that Pepsi is the preferred choice of even the straws(吸管). And then after that it makes fun ofCoca Cola by using their red and white colors for the other can as well as their classic design. This is a very clever ad on many levels.Canal+: iPhone TitanicThis ad may take a bit more time to understand but the design itself can keep a customer interested. The large finger and the iPhone in the corner can quickly help the viewer connect the dots with the sinking Titanic ship and show that we can have all our favorite movies right on our iPhones.1.What is the common feature of great advertisements?A.They involve many different styles.B.They will draw every business’attention.C.They can attract customers and touch them.D.They make comparison between products.2.What is special about King Oscar?A.Its fish products are very fresh.B.It conveys a lot to the customers.C.People can buy fish directly from ocean.D.It gives us extremely realistic impression.3.Which advertisement mentioned its competitor?A.King Oscar: Open. B.Panasonic 3D TV: DinoC.Pepsi: Straws. D.Canal+: iPhone Titanic.In my class in high school, there was a girl who was considered the most unpopular. No one actually knows how this exclusion (排挤) came from, but we all followed it for no reason at all. One day after lunch, we girls sat on the track field, talking about things that happened in our lives. Someone brought her up, and soon the topic transformed to laughing at the funny hairstyle of her, the stupid way she walked and.... I felt extremely uncomfortable but kept silent, because I didn’t want to be the one “supporting” the common enemy. After all, it’s just a short gossip time among a trusted group of friends; why should I bring unnecessary tension?Suddenly, one of my friends pointed her finger towards somewhere behind me. All of us turned around and saw that exact girl, hand still in the air, with a twisted (扭曲的) look on her face. She lowered her hand in slow movement, then turned around and ran off. For a second, I wanted to stand up and chase her down to tell her that no one meant what they said, and that she is an amazing person being who she is. But my legs felt so heavy, I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself—why bother taking care of the class clown (小丑)? People would think that I was crazy as well!A few weeks later, the teacher told us that a classmate dropped out of school—it was that girl. Her parents told the school that it was the peer pressure that made her want to leave. The teacher wanted to know who the bully (霸凌) was. Again, no one spoke a word. Perhaps it was exactly this cold, hard silence that drove her away. I certainly did not raise my hand. I had never even said anything bad about her; it was my friends who loved to make fun of her every day. Surely, I didn’t bully her physically or with my language, but I kept silent when others did. By failing to stand up for her and offering her support, I was giving agreement, which made others think that it was okay to mistreat her. Perhaps if I had realized I was wrong earlier---instead of convincing myself that I had nothing to do with her leaving, I wouldn't have to bear the burden of heavy shame on my shoulders.4.How did the author feel when seeing the girl being bullied?A.Cheerful.

Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year, on the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Although people hardly think of them together, yet we want to say that they belong together. It’s not just because they were both great men, and not because they happen to live at the same time. Rather, it’s because the scientist and the politician each started a revolution that changed the world.They were both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the realities when they were born. They seem and sound modern to us, because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in. So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions and the coincidence of their birthdays ---- it is hard to wonder: who was the greatest man? It’s an apples and oranges--- or Superman vs. Santa---comparison. But if you limit the question to influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln’s favor.As great as his book on evolution is, it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped (抢先) by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincoln, however, is unique. True, his election as the president did cause the recession (衰退) and the war, but that war seems certain to happen---not a question of if but when. Certainly we know what happened after he was murdered: Reconstruction was organized and then abandoned, leaving the issue of racial (种族的) equality unsolved for another century.Surely we should not deny Darwin’s accomplishment. But their same birthdays gave us a great opportunity to observe these men of their time.8.Why does the author say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together? A.They were born on the same day.B.They lived in the same period of time.C.They started revolutions changing the world.D.They were both great men in the history.9.What does the author mean by “an apples and oranges---- or Superman vs. Santa--comparison” ?A.It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding.B.The comparison between Darwin and Lincoln is easy and obvious.C.It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman and Santa.D.There is no point comparing them because they were born on the same day. 10.Lincoln’s contribution to the world can be best described as__________A.narrow. B.aggressive.C.independent. D.ground-breaking.11.What can we learn from the passage?A.Lincoln’s success in election caused reconstruction.B.Lincoln had tried to solve the racial problem.C.Darwin was unique compared with Lincoln.D.Darwin’s theory is similar to Lincoln’s belief.In recent years, Boston Dynamics has become known for two things. One, creating robots whose movements mimic (模仿) humans and animals. Many find theiraccuracy surprising and concerning. The second reason is posting mysterious videos of these robots online without warning. The videos quickly go popular and spread a mixture of excitement and terror over the rapid rise of self-operating machines.The company has made four-legged robots in recent years, with names like Spot, Wildcat and BigDog. These robots can do tasks such as open doors, carry heavy loads and run nearly 20 miles per hour. The company's most popular product appears to be Atlas, the robotic athlete. It calls Atlas "the world's most dynamic humanlike robot."The robot is guided by 3-D vision. It also uses LiDAR, short for Light Detection And Ranging, a sensor (传感器) that uses a laser (激光) to measure the distance between objects. With this technology, the small robot can pull nearly 25 pounds. The company says Atlas can also handle objects in its environment, cross rough land, keep its balance when pushed and get back up when knocked down.Three years ago, Atlas was recorded clumsily walking through the snow at a slow speed. Curiosity about Atlas increased last year when Boston Dynamics posted a video clip on YouTube. In it, the previously awkward robot goes for a jog in a grassy area. The video seemed to surprise many viewers, including the newspaper called the Daily Mail. The newspaper was reporting on Atlas's physical accomplishment at the time.The paper wrote, "If you thought you'd be able to run away from the terrifying new robots,bad news."12.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Robots mimicking humans and animals go popular.B.Boston Dynamic is likely to create more new robots.C.Humanlike robots are developing at a surprising speed.D.A new video of the latest robots make people amused.13.What d oes the underlined word “awkward” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Dangerous. B.Unskillful.C.Graceful. D.Convenient.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.It’s bad that we can run away from the new robots.B.People are happy about the improvements to new robots.C.Human’s power over machines and robots has come to an end.D.Improvements to robots raised concern among us human.15.Where does the text probably come from?A.A science magazine. B.An advertisement.C.Children’s literature.D.A fantasy novel.二、七选五This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. That makes it a good time to think of ways to honor the teachers who inspire, educate and care about the students they work with year after year.16.An easy way to make teachers feel appreciated is to write them a thank-you note. Be sure to include any favorite parts of their class and anything the teacher did for you that really had an effect on you. "I value notes and letters I receive from my students, their parents and grandparents,"a teacher once said. 17.Visit A Former Teacher18.Many teachers mentioned they love seeing and hearing from former students. It makes them realize that their work matters. If you want to visit a former teacher, the best time to go is during their "off-period" or lunch. If you go to a different school and you want to see your former teacher, be sure to email them in advance. Ask when a good time to visit would be.Put Away Your CellphonePutting your cellphone away in class is an easy thing any student can do. It may seem helpful to look up an answer to a question or do research. 19.Try to think hard about an answer before immediately reaching for your phone. Think about how you are staying in the present moment while you're paying attention in class.Listen And LearnThe teachers interviewed said they had many different struggles and things that made them want to be a teacher. However, they all did agree on one thing. All the teachers mentioned wanting to see their students learn and succeed.This tip hardly requires any action at all. 20.A.Value Notes and LettersB.Write A Letter To Say Thank YouC.However, your cellphones can actually seem like a competitor for your teacher. D.Another simple way to show your appreciation is to visit a teacher you had a few years ago.E.When teachers are trying to get students to remember concepts, this can be a huge challenge.F.Just know that when you listen and learn, you'll show your teacher why they do what they do.G.Seeing the evidence of the positive influence they have had on their students is comforting for teachers.三、完形填空I’m not a person who loves collecting, but the TV room of my house is full of things.

An announcement.BSchool was always something I loved because I always enjoyed learning more.I never felt afraid of going to school early in the morning,and I never tried to get out of any work.I stayed after school every chance I got.I did most of the work I could,got the best grades I could,and in the end,I graduated from high school with honors.All my success was because of the teachers I had who helped me,pushed me,and made learning a fun thing to do.At the beginning of the school year,I had a lot of trouble leaving my mom in the mornings,but Mrs.Trainer always sat with me,talked with me,and helped me feel OK without my mom.She was understanding,kind,and al-ways made the classroom a comfortable place.Mrs.Trainer also sat down and helped me learn;I was,and still,the worst speller,but she tried her best to help me.The second was my senior high school English teacher,Mr.Stonerock.Mr.Stonerock was able to make English and writing fun,especially when we had eight-page papers to hand in.Some of my favorite high school memories (记忆)were in his classes.Mr.Stonerock also taught my class APA format(格式)which to me is invaluable.I use it every day in my life.He put up with so many shenanigans(恶作剧)from my classmates and me and always did it with a smile.My point to all of this is that there are amazing and caring teachers out there whether they teach college level classes,high school level classes,or primary level classes.I have had more influential teachers than I can count.I am still in touch with some of my high school teachers,who give me life advice and guide me.Teachers are invaluable resources and no one can take their place.4. Which of the following can best describe the author as a student?______A. Creative and proud.B. Confident and polite.C. Kind-hearted and honest.D. Hard-working and excellent.5.

The Greatness of Teachers.D. The Joy of Being a Teacher.CWhich are you more likely to have with you at any given moment — your cell phone or your wallet Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January,Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores.This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S.,but we're likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC)gets into America's consumer st December some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe,NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal — a contact-free system built for speed and convenience.But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S.,a few problems need to be worked out,like who will get to collect the profitable trading fees.Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards,cell phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS)market.Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint companies that will go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is "to lead the U.S.payments industry from cards to mobile phones. "The other big NFC issue,apart from how payments will be processed,is security.For instance,what's to stop a thief from digitally pick-pocketing you?"We're still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone," says Jimmy Shah,a mobile-security researcher. "Users may also be able to set transaction limits,perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone,it can be located on a map and remotely disabled.Plus,your phone can be password protected,your wallet isn't.8. What is predicted to happen in the U.S.______A. The expansion of cell phone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.9. The NFC technology can be used to ______ .A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cell phones10. Three cell phone service providers form a joint companies to ______ .A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cell phonesD. test the NFC technology11. According to the passage,what can users do if they lose their smart phones ?______A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.DWhen you visit Kinderdijk,one of the most visited villages in the Netherlands,you step right into the middle of Dutch history.Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard,where the Lek and Noord rivers meet together.Much of the village is near or even below sea level.Although there are canals and dykes (堤坝),the lowlands of the village are still at risk of flooding (洪灾).Among the most deadly floods was Saint Elisabeth's flood in 1421,which killed thousands after the dykes broke in several places.To deal with this kind of problem,the Kinderdijk windmills (风车)were built around 1740 to move water from the lower areas to higher ground and into the river.Nineteen of the 20 Kinderdijk windmills remain and were named a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产)Site in 1997.Of the 19 windmills,16 still have millers who live inside and control the huge sails (翼板)in the wind.These windmills continue to help manage the Netherlands ongoing fight to stay above water.For tourists,boat tours are offered along the canals and walkways lead from the visitor center to the windmills.Two windmills serve as museums,filled with old millers' items and photos.You can climb up inside to see how the windmills work.The windmills also are working,so be prepared to feel the whole building shake when the sails turn in the wind.Each year,about 500,000 people visit the Kinderdijk windmills and the buildings have become a must-see on any trip to the Netherlands.There are some windmills north of Amsterdam that "were built for tourists,but we're a historical site where tourists come,so it's the other way around," says Kinderdijk communications manager Peter Paul Klapwijk. "Tourism is a good way to support our site."12. Why were the Kinderdijk windmills built around 1740?______A. To protect dykes.B. To produce clean water.C. To prevent floods.D. To keep the sea level from rising.13. What can we learn about Kinderdijk windmills______A. Most of them are working as before.B. Most of them have become museums.C. Several of them have been sold to millers.D. Several of them were destroyed long ago.14. How does Peter Paul Klapwijk feel about so many tourists visiting the windmills?______A. Fearful.B. Worried.C. Excited.D. Surprised.15. What does the text mainly introduce?______A. The history of KinderdijkB. A famous historical siteC. An amazing village of canalsD. The traditions of the Netherlands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。

AOur city, as the center of government and economy, could be the target of terrorist and armed attacks. In the event of an attack, the public will be warned through wireless emergency alert systems. Listen to information broadcast over the TV and radio.Protect yourself from a terrorist or an armed attackIf an explosion occurs, quickly hide under something like a table. Explosions could continue, so evacuate(撤离) to a safe place.If a fire breaks out due to a terrorist or an armed attack, cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and quickly evacuate while keeping yourself as low as possible.If you are trapped, tap on pipes or other things nearby to let others know where you are. Calling out loudly for help should be the last thing to do since this could cause dustto be breathed in.Evacuate from a missile attackSince it will be difficult to identify the area where the missiles will hit, if you are outdoors, evacuate into a strong building, underground shopping areas, or other indoor areas nearby. Afterwards, follow the instructions of the authorities.Evacuate from biochemical attacksCover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief and leave the area immediately. Evacuate to a safe place that is unlikely to become affected, such as a closed-off place indoors or high ground upwind.Evacuate from a nuclear explosionIf there is a nuclear explosion, hide behind cover and evacuate to an underground facility or a strong building. A“dirty bomb”will cause radioactive pollution of the area. Follow the instructions of the authorities and consult a physician.21.According to the text, if you hear an explosion, you must first .A.take shelter to protect yourselfB.listen to information broadcast over the radioC.evacuate to a strong facilityD.find out what is going on22.How can you evacuate from a biochemical attack?A.By shouting loudly for help.B.By keeping yourself as low as you can.C.By moving to high ground upwind.D.By going into an outdoor area.23.The text intends to .A.warn people of the dangers of terrorist and armed attacksrm people of the emergency alert systemsC.stress the importance of following the instructions of the authoritiesD.spread knowledge of protecting oneself against various attacksBLooking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal(清澈的) clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.24.According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be .A. full of ambitionB. self-disciplinedC. full of enthusiasmD. knowledgeable25.The first paragraph tells us that the author .A. lost his hearing when he was a childB. didn’t like his brothers and sistersC. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodD. was born to a naturalist’s family26.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he.A. just reads about other peoples observations and discoveries.B. Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist.C. Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.D .Come up with solutions in most natural ways.27.What do the underlined sentences imply?A.Conscious mind leads to the answer to the riddle.B.A good memory is closely related to inspiration.C.Observations of the natural world keep a heathy mind.D.Ripe conditions contribute to success.CA team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation of the plant hormone makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production ---about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice."Scientifically, the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment," he said. "It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding."High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deepwater field.Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice," he said.28.What is the main character of SNORKEL genes?A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases.B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions.C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time.29.According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found ______.A. will be one third more expensive than regular riceB. has been widely used in Southeast AsiaC. will be helpful for Southeast AsiaD. is lower in production than regular rice30.The underlined word“projected”i n the seventh paragraph probably means _____.A.plannedB. outdatedC. unexpectedD. confused31.What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that_____.A. rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the futureB. rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the futureC. high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadaysD. the quality of rice is difficult to improveDYounger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked downby classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,”Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.32. Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?A. A 10-year-old girl from a key schoolB. A 10-year-old boy from a poor familyC. A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyD. A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary school33. Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.A. a lack of trust in other peopleB.a drop in academic performanceC. a lack of confidence in themselvesD. a drop in the sense of depression34. We can learn from the text that _____.A. bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorderB. bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the mediaC. students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-freeD. the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Is anything we can do about bullying?B. Negative effects on children caused by bullyingC.Bullying affects half of studentsD.
