People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee．Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning（断奶）in either "summer" light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or "winter" cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark． A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day．Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule． The summer mice were similarly ________．The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12 hourschedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group． After 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayedon the summer cycle or switched to winter． But among the winterborn mice, those stayedin winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions（破坏）in their biological clocks．The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders．"We know that the biological clock regulates（管理）mood in humans, " said study researcher McMahon． "If the mechanism（机制）similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality．"（1）How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment？________A.

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. "It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special," she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie's family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie's school was so damaged that she had to temporarily（临时）attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings."My mom tells me that I can't control what happens to me," Natalie says, "but I can always choose how I deal with it."Natalie's choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick's collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars（创痕）of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. "I can't imagine living anywhere but Rockaway," Natalie declares. "My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before." （1）When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______.A.some friends had lost their livesB.the elderly were free from sufferingC.her school had moved to BrooklynD.her neighborhood was destroyed（2）According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A.The people trapped in high-rise building.B.The people helping Rockaway rebuild.C.The volunteers donating money to survivors.D.Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.（3）How did Natalie help the survivors?A.She gave her toys to the kids.B.She took care of younger children.C.She called on the White House to help.D.She built an information sharing platform.（4）What does the story intend to tell us?A.East or West, home is best.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.Little people can make a big difference.D.Technology is power.二、七选五根据短文内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，内容完整。

2020年浙江省高一(下)期中英语试卷附答案

期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）ADo you really care who wins Oscars？On February 24 this year，the Academy Awards were presented to actors，actresses，directors，musicians and many other people．Usually they are the "best" and we，the audience，are persuaded that this is true．This year，the nominations （提名）for Best Picture include Black Panther，Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book．According to many people，these are great movies，as are the performers who bring the stories to life．Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star．However，Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016，but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing．I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor．And of course，let's not forget Romeo and Juliet．I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning．I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people．They most certainly are talented．What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have．After all ，at this year's Golden Globe Awards，Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did．So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics （评论家）say．If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is，go and watch the film he or she stars in．1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage？______A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors．B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films．C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films．D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016．2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "apprehend" in Paragraph 4？______A. Express．B. Understand．C. Change．D. Show．3.In the author's opinion，what is the best way to judge an actor？______A. To see if he has won an Oscar．B. To read what critics say．C. To judge him by watching his acting．D. To see how many awards he has won．BChopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mind while eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just like playing with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, "chopsticks" reads "kuaizi", which means having sons soon. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful scenery on chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ ．A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks．D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supplyB. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in ChinaC. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticksCA new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.Jakicic said, "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America's obesity." More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.7.Both groups of people in the study were asked to _______.A. start on a high-calorie dietB. wear a fitness trackerC. consult expertsD. record their heart rates8.Why does Jakicic think the findings are important?A. Wearing fitness trackers hardly helps people lose weight.B. Physical activity and diet have no effect on weight loss.C. Dealing with obesity needs effective long-term treatments.D. There are great differences in health between both groups.9.What can we infer about the study mentioned in the text?A. The study went on for about two years.B. More than 120 men took part in the study.C. Health consulting helps lose almost 6 kilograms.D. Wearing a fitness tracker is useful for keeping slim.10.The purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe how the researchers carried out the studyB. show regular consulting for weight control is necessaryC. persuade readers to wear fitness trackers for weight controlD. warn women are more likely to suffer from weight problems二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Be the friend everyone wants Some people seem to have a special talent for making friends．Being with them，you feel like you're the most interesting person in the world．How do these "friend magnets （磁铁）" do it？It's simple：they're truly interested in people．The people they meet feel important and special，so they return the favor by wanting to be their friends!

The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectatorsThere are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.Male and female flag-bearersThe International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.Oath (宣誓) session updatedOne of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremonyIn the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony?A.To limit the number of people present.B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games.C.To control the spread of an infectious disease.D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics?A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever.C.Women will play a more important part in society.D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games.3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes.B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games.D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.BNextdoor，an online social network for neighbors，says it has attracted $60 million from early backers of technology giants，Google，Amazon and Facebook.The new investment，1ed by venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and investment firm Tiger Global Management，values Nextdoor at more than $500 million，said a personfamiliar with the matter.Nextdoor members make Facebook-style postings，giving or seeking recommendations for services such as babysitters and yard maintenance or local retailers and restaurants. They also post about community issues such as parking，crimeand safety，or items for sale or loan.The investment sum emphasizes the appeal of businesses that can tap into the growing use of mobile devices，as well as social networking Perhaps the best current example is Twitter，which is preparing for an initial public offering that values the company at up to about $11 billion.“We’re all spending more time with our screens，more engaged，but I think data shows we’re less connected，”said John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins，mentioning his own experience of knowing few of his neighbors. Nextdoor，with its ability to introduce neighbors to each other，helps people regain the sense of connection，he said.Early next year，Nextdoor plans to expand to Canada，followed by Great Britain，Australia，and South Africa，chief executive NiravTolia said. While Nextdoor has not yet have made any profit after two years of operations，Tolia said he is not worried.“If we look at the great companies at this stage，none of them started to monetize this early in their evolution. ”Tolia said. “It’s all about getting the product right. ”Eventually，Nextdoor plans to tap into local advertising，he said.Nextdoor is currently used in 22，527 neighborhoods across the United States，up from 5，694 a year ago. Including the latest funding round，it has raised just over $100 million.4. What attitude do the early backers of technology grant hold towards Nextdoor?A. They doubt its value.B.

How does Nirav Tolia feel about the future of Nextdoor?A. Curious.B. Upset.C. Cautious.D. Optimistic.CEveryone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.8. What made the author angry at the meeting?A. The system of the company was terrible.B. Someone said his job is insignificant.C. The policy of the company didn’t work.D. The application he supported was of no effect.9. What brought down the anger of the author?A. The apology someone made at the meeting.B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true.D. The courage he had to overcome the challenges.10. Why did the author consider the incident as a gift?A. It brought him back on track to the goal.B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position.C. It helped him change his character since then.D. It provided him with confidence in his career.11. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a CompanyB. Avoid Being Pointless at WorkC. Anger Is Harmful to HealthD. Understanding Yourself Better Through AngerDHave you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out todo is not the most important thing.A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”Theboy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for－to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will endup with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.12. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.A. braveB. impoliteC. foolishD. warm-hearted13. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?A. To drive them away.B. To show what he had found in digging.C. To show how beautiful the jar was.D. To attract them to join him in the work.14. What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?A. No dream can come true.B. All work will end successfully.C. Goals shouldn’t be set too high.D. Goals will make us work harder.15. The best title for the text should be______.A. A Boy Dug a HoleB. Joy in the JourneyC. No Pain, No GainsD. Failure Is the Mother of Success第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年宁波中学高三英语下学期期中试卷及参考答案

2020年宁波中学高三英语下学期期中试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABest Places to Visit in JulyNorway's FjordsMost travelers prefer to visit Norway's famous fjords (峡湾) in July because Norway has about 23 hours of daylight, giving travelers lots of time to take in the spectacular views of blue water, glaciers and mountains. July is also whenNorway's weather is at its warmest, about18℃, so travelers might include a light sweater in their luggage.Bastille Day inParisJuly 14 is a national day celebrating independence to the French. July 14, 1789, is the day the French stormed the Bastille, aParisprison, and officially began the French Revolution, overthrowing a royal government that often threw people in prison there for no reason at all. While the day is marked all overFrance, the biggest celebration takes place inParis.Masai Mara National ReserveThe thrill of seeing millions of animals wander the plains inKenyais not easily forgotten. One of the most popular months to visit the Masai Mara is in July when the famous wildlife migration reaches the Masai Mara and zebras are at their highest number. The best times to view the animals inKenya's most popular game park are dawn and dusk.Running of the Bulls inPamplonaTravelers who pride themselves on being fast runners may want to head toPamplonain July for the San Femin Festival. A key part of this annual festival is the running of the bulls. Six bulls are released onto a narrow street fora half-mile run, with hundreds of runners seeing if they can run faster than the animals.1. What can visitors do inNorway's in July?A.

San Fermin Festival.B. Bastille Day.C. Masai Mara National Reserve.D.Norway's Fjords.3. Where will visitors interested in wild animals go?A. Norway.B. Paris.C. Masai Mara.D.Pamplona.BMany Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”4. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A. A newly made video game.B. An English grammar book.C. A new designed school bag.D. A unique jacket from their parents.5. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Expression of disappointment.B. Something expected to happen.C. The same with one’s expectation.D. A result against what is expected.6. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?A. They are easy to understand.B. They express disappointment.C. They show delighted feelings.D. They are used most at Christmas.7. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Expectations from loved ones.B. Different uses of the three words.C. Examples of the use of the three words.D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.CPreventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled toBolivia.The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.8. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?A. He dreams of becoming a doctor.B. He wants to teach others about the topic.C. His family members encourage him to do so.D. He was born with a high risk of heart disease.9. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?A. Housing, food and cooperation.B. Diet, activity and rest.C. Physical work, social life and lifespan.D. Group size, family history and consumption10. What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?A. Natural sound.B. Routine activity.C. Animal behaviour.D. Natural light.11. What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?A. Take in less sugar and salt.B. Stand less and walk more.C. Eat white meat instead of red meat.D. Live in the middle of the community.DAt Aizo Chuo Hospital in Japan, employees greet newcomers, guide patients to and from the surgery area, and print out maps of the hospital for confused visitors. They don’t take lunch breaks or even get paid. Why? They’re robots!Robots have long worked in factories, helping to build cars and electronic appliances. But today’s robots don’t just do the jobs of people－they actually look and act a lot like people.Kansei, arobot from Japan, has a plastic face covering 19 movable parts. The robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words. Kansei shakes in fear at the word “war” and smiles when it hears the word “dinner”.Researchers in Europe are going even further with iCub, a “baby” robot. They are teaching it to speak and hold conversations.The ability to interact is crucial for robots that will one day work closely with humans says robotics professor ChrisAtkeson. “ This will require robots to understand what you say and how you are feeling and respond with appropriate emotions, ” he told WR News.Japanese scientist Minoru Asada agrees. He is building a robot called CB2 that acts like a real baby. “ Right now, it only goes, ̒Ah, ah. ̓But as we develop its learning function, it will start saying more complex sentences and moving on its own, ” Asada says. “ Next-generation robots need to be able to learn and develop by themselves.”Intelligent robot will become more important in the future, as populations age and the number of human workers declines in many countries. “ We’re going to have many more old people and not enough young people tocare for them,” says robot researcher Matthew Mason. “ Technology can help the old people live at home longer, instead of going to nursing homes.”12. According to the passage, what jobs have robots already performed?A. Giving advice, answering customer questions and planning events.B. Producing factory goods, building cars and greeting customers.C. Greeting customers, producing factory goods and performing surgery.D. Building cars, driving passengers and providing directions.13. The second paragraph in this passage is mainly about?A. To explain how a robot works.B. To define what a robot is.C. To describe the functions of modern robots.D. To predict the future uses of robots.14. How does the Kansei robot react on the word “fire”?A. Use languages to warn nearby humans.B Back up its memory files.C. Activate an automatic fire alarm.D. Produce a worried look on his face.15. In Asada’s opinion, the next step for robots will be to develop_______.A. the ability to learn independentlyB. the ability to understand human commandsC. the capacity to interact with humansD. the willingness to work together第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Because weather always changes．5.What do we know about carrots？______A. They are easy to raise but hard to harvest．B. All carrots are not orange．C. Only one factor affects the way carrots taste．D. It is only by colour that you can decide if you should harvest them．6.What is the best title for the passage？______A. How to Harvest CarrotsB. How to Cook CarrotsC.

For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied(繁殖) quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.Luckily, we've realized that we shouldn't kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.7.Why do people kill animals?A. Animals cause endless trouble.B. They kill animals for something they need.C. Animals destroy their natural balance.D. They kill animals to control their number.8.The example that farmers killed hawks shows that ________.A. there are too many rats and miceB. animals are very beautiful and interestingC. animals are good food resourcesD. every kind of animal is very important in nature9.What can be learned from this text?A. Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems.B. The endangered animals should be kept away from people.C. People cared much about animals because they relied on them.D. The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past.10.What is the author's attitude towards the future of endangered animals?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Really organized people are not born organized people．(1) ，which then help them stay organized．Here are four habits they use to keep their lives in order．Write things down．A pen and a notebook are needed to record things．(2) ．You will only further make your life complex（复杂的）by trying to contain important dates and messages in your head．Make schedules and deadlines．By leading a cluttered（杂乱的）lifestyle，you will not have the time or space to make your deadlines or achieve your goals．Organized people don't waste time．They recognize that keeping things organized goes hand in hand with staying productive（富有成效的）．They make and keep schedules for the day and week．They make deadlines and set goals．(3) ．Don't put off doing what you should be doing．(4) ．If you want your life to be less stressful ，then take action as soon as you can．Put in effort to get things done as soon as possible．(5) ．People who live organized lives only keep what they need and what they really want．Have you ever felt like you don't have the space to keep all the things you own？Instead of buying a larger house，get rid of some．A．Give everything a homeB．Keep only what you needC．They have to develop some habitsD．And most importantly ，they stick to them．E．You can also use a computer or a smart phoneF．Organized people find time every week to organize their thingsG．The longer you wait to do something，the more difficult it will be to get it done11.

They found that warmer conditions sped up the sharks’ growing process. That meant the sharks were born earlier and very tired. The findings could be used in the study of other sharks, including those that give birth to live young.The scientists studied 27 sharks. Some were raised in average summer water temperatures, about 27 degrees Celsius. Others were raised in higher temperatures around 29 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius. They found that the sharks raised in the warmest temperatures weighed much less than those raised in average temperatures. They also showed reduced energy levels.Epaulette sharks can grow to a length of about one meter. Their name comes from large spots on their bodies that look like decorations on some military clothing.One study this year found that worldwide numbers of oceanie sharks and rays dropped more than 70 percent between 1970 and 2018. Overfishing is a main concern, while climate change and pollution also threaten shark.Carolyn Wheeler is a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts Boston and with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Australia. She was the lead author of the epaulette shark study. She said that while all the sharks survived, those raised in warmer temperatures were not strongenough to survive for long in the wild.She added that if the sharks are born smaller than usual “they are probably going to have to start looking for food sooner—and they’re going to have less time to adjust to their surroundings.” The study should serve as a warning to ocean governing agencies that careful management is needed to prevent the loss of more sharks.4. In what aspect do the warmer conditions affect the baby sharks?A. Their food.B. Their body weight.C. Their living habits.D. Their moving route.5. How did the scientists carry out their study?A. By studying former data.B. By tracking sharks in the wild.C. By collecting information about climate change.D. By comparing sharks in waters of different temperatures6. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A. The origin of sharks’ names.B. The sharks’ appearance.C. The threats to sharks’ survival.D. The sharks’ living environment.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Scientists Raise Sharks to Deal with ProblemsB. Global Warming Has Reduced Shark PopulationsC. Baby Sharks Struggle to Survive in Warming OceansD. Scientists Are Struggling to Save Sharks from ExtinctionCPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.8. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.9. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.10. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.DA smiling panda and a walking Chinese lantern will be the mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics (残奥会）in Beijing .The mascots were known to the public on Sept.17, 2019 at a ceremony inBeijing. Beijing Mayor Chen Jining described them as adorable, unique , and exquisite (精致的）。

2020年浙江省高一(下)期中英语试卷附答案

期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共20.0分）AOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rock 'n' roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called "country and western".In 1995 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called "Blues". Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排) concert for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success. Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his fans were shocked, "The King Is Dead!" the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock 'n' Roll.1.Who was Tom Parker in the text?A. Another famous singer.B. Elvis' manager.C. A manager of a big bank.D. Elvis' best friend since childhood.2.What caused Elvis' death?A. The pressure from his parents.B. Tom Parker's punishment.C. His taking drugs.D. His singing too much every day.3.What can we learn from the text?A. Elvis didn't get any help from his parents.B. Elvis forgot his church music at a later age.C. The church songs helped Elvis develop his singing.D. The church songs stopped Elvis from developing his own style.BAlthough it is often called the koala "bear", this lovely animal is not actually a bear at all. It is a marsupial (有袋目哺乳动物), and like kangaroos, a female koala carries her baby in her pouch (育儿袋) for about six months.Koalas live in four states only in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees (桉树) they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave these trees, their sharp claws easily keeping them high up in the air.During the day they sleep for up to 18 hours. When not asleep, they feed on eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from these leaves. Each animal eats a large amount for its size—about two and a half pounds of leaves a day, even storing snacks of leaves in pouches.The koala bears were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s and their populations decreased suddenly. Helped by reintroduction, they have reappeared over much of their former range, but their populations are smaller. Koalas need a lot of space—about a hundred trees per animal—which is a pressing problem, as Australia's woodlands continue to get smaller because the trees they live on are being cut down to make farms. Also, forest fires, caused by heat waves, are destroying the forests the koalas live in.It has been estimated (估算) that there are only 100, 000 koalas left in the wild, with the lowest estimates being no more than 43, 000. The koala can only eat eucalyptus leaves and lives nowhere else except Australia, so in order to survive, human effect on its limited environment must be controlled, or this attractive creature faces certain extinction.4.Why are koalas in danger of dying out according to the text?A. Many of them died in the forest fire.B. They can't be used to the global warming.C. Their living environment is gradually being worsened.D. Farmers are burning the eucalyptus trees that koalas live on.5.What happened during the 1920s and 1930s?A. Koalas faced great danger.B. Koala got well protected.C. Koalas' population fell slowly.D. Koala had enough space to live in.6.What will the author most probably talk about next?A. How to increase koalas' population.B. How to make the best of the limited environment.C. How to help koalas get used to the new living environment.D. How to reduce human effect on koalas' living environment.CAround lunchtime today, my son and I were walking in our community's busy "downtown" area. We passed by a homeless man sitting on the street. Since I had no cash on me, all we could give him was a good wish. As we walked by my son asked me "Didn't you have any money to give him?" I said, "I don't have cash." But why don't we ask him if he would like something to eat?On our way back on that street after doing our errand (差事), we saw the same man and asked him if he would like us to get him some lunch. His face brightened up and when I asked what he would like, he just said "anything is fine". So then my son pointed to a rather fancy looking "Parisian café" type of place across the street and we decided to go in there. Well, of course, it was lunchtime and the place was packed! We stood in line for a while, looking at pastries (酥皮糕点) that I knew we were not going to buy. Then we decided on a hot sandwich for the homeless man.After ordering and paying by credit card, we sat and waited... and waited... and not a peep out of my son about why it was taking so long... after some unlucky events with the order and thepacking of a "to-go" box, we finally got out of there. My son said "I hope the man is still there!" And he was. And he was so happy (it took us so long, I'm sure he must have thought we weren't coming back)... it made our day. We came home, made ourselves some lunch, and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon.7.Why didn't the author give money to the homeless man?A. He was very poor, too.B. He hated the homeless man.C. He was unwilling to help the poor.D. He had no cash on him.8.What did the homeless feel when asked if he would like some lunch?A. Happy.B. Surprised.C. Concerned.D. Frightened.9.What does the underlined word "packed" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Conquered.B. Busy.C. Crowded.D. Reserved.10.What can be the best title for the text?A. A Sandwich.B. My Son and I.C. A homeless man.D. Lunchtime.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Whether you like it or not，as students，you have to live with roommates after going to school or university．Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences，or easily one of the worst．(1)Here are five tips for you to follow to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse．Talk things out．(2) If something happens，sit down with your roommates and have aface-to-face conversation．Complaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but bad situations and general unhappiness．(3) Some roommates become the best of friends，and some don't．Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level，especially when you first meet．Remember，you are trying to make a new friend，not frighten your roommate away．And if you roommate doesn't end up being your best friend，there is no need to worry about it．Clean up after yourself．Or at least，keep your things on your side．(4) But being considerate （考虑周到的）with where you put your own stuff（东西）will help you avoid the arguments．Ask before you take．This applies to（适用于）food，clothes and anything else that you don't own．(5) Even if you both agree to share everything you should still ask．A．Don't expect to be best friends．B．Communication is of vital（至关重要的）importance．C．You don't need to keep the room clean and organized all the time．D．Rooms can be really easy for a mess to pile up．E．If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate，it all starts with you．F．Try to make your roommates your best friends．G．Show your roommate that you have respect for his or her things．11.

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's(学士) degree.Jennifer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) a lot to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, herchildren have learned animportant lesson, witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.8.

Why did she choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital?A. To learn from the best nurses.B. To take care of her kids easily at night.C. To save money for her parents.D. To find a well-paid job there.10. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A. Her health.B. Her chance of promotion.C Her reputation. D. Her time with family.11. What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A. Hard work pays off.B. Love breaks down barriers.C. Time is money.D. Education is the key to success.DA cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and theirgravityis increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchersled by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist ofRenminUniversity, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but “the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. “ When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late. ”The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at theUniversityofNevada,Reno, who was not part of the study.Kentis director of ALERTWildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires inCalifornia,NevadaandOregon. “The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. “You'd have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in theright order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭).Fire detection is just step one.Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device'ssignal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.12. What does the underlined word “gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Pull.B. Extinction.C. Popularity.D. Severity.13. What do we know about the sensor?A. Its price remains high.B. Its batteries are replaceable.C. It can detect fires earlier and easier.D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.14. What doesKentmean in paragraph 4?A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.B. Fire detection resources are rich.C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.D. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.15. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A. Improving and testing it.B. Limiting its use and transmission.C. Examing and reducing its signal range.D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMoksh Jawa, 16, a junior student in Washington High School in the US, has already become a hero among students. As a seventh-grader, he studied on the Internet and taught himself programming. As a high school freshman, he passed the AP Computer Science A exam with a 5, the highest score possible. Because his high school didn’t teach programming, he developed his own online course and helped classmates get through it.Everything he did came from his interest. “I just fell in love with computer science.” Jawa said. Alone the way, he encouraged classmates to learn programming, too.Trying to make the knowledge easy for anyone to learn on the internet, Jawa set about creating his own online course, with easy-to-follow lessons and invisible hands writing formulas(公式) on a board. He included quizzes and tests too.The course has so far attracted 3,200 students across the Unites Stated and in 120 countries including China, Ukraine and Algeria. It shows, Jawa said, the huge need for programming lessons.When video lecturing, “I deliver it like I’m talking from one high school student to another,” Jawa said, “It’s always great to make it as clear and fun as possible, and to try to keep my voice as energetic as possible.”He does that, too, when teaching members of the computer science club he founded at Washington.“He’s pretty amazing,” said Bob Moran, headmaster of Washington High School, who saw him lead the club. “He was just a fantastic teacher, clear, organized and entertaining. When a student got the right answer, he wouldth row them a piece of candy.”21. Which can be the main reason for Jawa creating the online course?A. He has a great interest in teaching.B. The online teaching can make him a hero.C. He wants to help his classmates and others to learn the subject.D. There is a huge need for programming lessons around the world.22. Wh at do we know about Jawa’s online lessons?A.They are hard to understand.B.They’ve attracted learners around the world.C.They are taught in different languages.D. They are easy and fun without quizzes and tests.23. What the headmaster said in the last paragraph shows that ______.A. Jawa has always been a great club leaderB. Jawa is a hero in Washington High SchoolC. Jawa is very good at computer programmingD. Jawa knows how to teach and encourage studentsBWe all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others.Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoes Nike say, “Just Do It.”Recently researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported running regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners.This study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1.200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, hear, attack or stroke.One of the researchers is a man named D. C. Lee, a professor of Iowa State University Compared to non-runners, he said, runners showed a much lower risk of dying from some diseases. “Compared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack, stroke and cancer. Also, runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular diseases（心血管疾病）, including heart attack and stroke.”D. C. Lee and the other researchers found that speed, distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr. Lee said slower runners and those who only ran once or twice a week were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. “And also we loo ked at the inning over time and we found that persistent runners (over six years)showed the biggest benefits, as well.”24．What does the author mean by quoting Nike’s ad. “Just Do it”?A．It’s time for you to start running.B．Nike has always kept its promise.C．You have to run as fast as possible. D．Running does you good whatever its form.25．The researchers got the results of their study mainly by ________.A．analyzing numbers B．having interviewsC．doing experiments D．doing field survey26．What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A．Heart disease is the biggest killer of mankind.B．Runners are generally healthier than non-runners.C．Heart disease has killed more people than cancer.D．Running greatly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. 27．What can we know according to Mr.Lee?A．Slower runners and faster runners benefit equally from running.B．You can benefit most if your speed is over 10km per hour.C．You must control your speed properly while running.D．The further you run, the more benefits you will get.CI was wandering around the Albuquerque International Support airport. My flight had been delayed and I hea rd an announcement: “If anyone near Gate A-4 understands Arabic（阿拉伯语）, please come to the gate immediately.” Gate A-4 was my own gate. I went there.An older woman was crumpled（蜷缩成一团的）on the floor, crying loud. In her traditional Palestinian dress, she reminded me of my grandmother.“Talk to her,” urged the flight agent. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this.”I bent over to put my arm around the woman and spoke uncertainly. “Shu-dow-a, shu-bid-uck, habibti? Stanischway, min fadlick, shu-bit-se-wee?” She stopped crying. She thought the flight had been called off. She needed to be in El Paso for a medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll get there, just late. Who is picking you up? Let’s call him.”We called her son. In English, I told him that I would stay with his mother until we got on the plane. She talked with him. Then we called her other sons just for fun. Then we called my dad and they spoke for a while in Arabic and found out that they had several shared friends. After that, I called some Palestinian poets I knew and let them chat with her.She was, laughing a lot but then, patting my knee and answering questions. She pulled a bag of homemade cookies filled with dates and nuts and topped with sugar from her bag and offered them to the people at the gate. To my amazement, no one declined. It was like a sacrament（圣餐）. The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo--- We were all smiling, covered with the same sugar.I looked around the ga te and thought, “This is the world I want to live in, one with no anxiety. This can still happen anywhere”, I thought. Not everything is lost.28．Why did the old woman burst into tears at the boarding gate?A．She thought she couldn’t make it for her treatm ent.B．Her flight was called off because of bad weather.C．She couldn’t make herself well understood.D．Her flight ticket seemed to have got lost.29．What can we learn about the author?A．Her father was a relative of the older womanB．She took the same flight with the older woman.C．She was highly skilled in speaking Arabic.D．Her grandmother saw her off at the airport.30．Which words can best describe the author?A．Outstanding and generous. B．Clever and brave.C．Patient and creative. D．Warm-hearted and thoughtful.第二节(共5个小题；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。
