广西壮族自治区2023-2024学年高一下学期7月期末英语试题一、阅读理解Some Cities Suitable for Students to VisitShaoxing, ZhejiangShaoxing is the hometown of Lu Xun. In Lu Xun Town you can see performances by such characters as Sister Xianglin and Ah Q to enter deeper into the tales of Lu Xun’s life.Quanzhou, FujianQuanzhou is one of the great cities of Fujian and it is a city which is famous for its history and culture. It was also the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. Since ancient times, a lot of religions have coexisted here, and Eastern and Western cultures have gathered andboomed.Weihai, ShangdongHaving a coastline of nearly 1,000 kilometers and clear ocean waters all along the coast, Weihai is a beautiful coastal garden city. You can pick up shells and crabs, watch the sunrise and sunset and amuse yourself with seaside entertainment activities. It cannot be forgotten that during the first Sino-Japanese War Weihai was the city that made the “unsinkable battleship” of Chinese history.Nanning, GuangxiNanning is known as the “Green City” and the city streets are filled with trees of every kind. The beautiful scenery makes the city full of vitality (生机).

The first thing he does after heading downstairs is fire up over the stoves and get his kettle going. He boils a large amount of water every day to help the families of cancer patients with their cooking. Knowing that patients generally have a poor appetite after chemotherapy (化疗), he also prepares many pots of porridge.His wife, 68-year-old Xiong Gengxiang, cooks more than 10 pots of rice a day. At 9 am, the couple welcomes their first customers and keeps serving until the last customer leaves around 8 or 9 pm.The special kitchen is located in Qingshan Lake District in Nanchang, East China’s Jiangxi province, right next to Jiangxi Cancer Hospital. Over the past two decades, it has become widely known as the “anti-cancer kitchen” for providing inpatients and their families with a convenient place to cook meals.The kitchen was originally a breakfast stall (货摊) they operated. They used to cook youtiao. One day in 2003, a young couple walked by and asked if they could use the stove to cook food for their son, who was suffering from bone cancer. He wanted to eat his mother’s cooking while he was hospitalized. Wan and Xiong let the young mother use their stove for free. Later, they offered the use of the stove and their kitchenware for free to other families who wanted to make meals for their hospitalized relatives.As word spread about the couple’s deed, people who had used their kitchen began referring to the stall as “anti-cancer kitchen”. Some even started calling it “kitchen of love” that made them feel warm.In February 2021, Wan and Xiong received the Touching China Award 2020. Later that year, in November, they were also named “National Moral Models”. When asked about why they kept doing this, Wan said “I want to help. I am willing to do it. We are not doing it for money. We are doing it because it brings us a sense of satisfaction.”4.What does the underlined word “appetite” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Curiosity.B.Desire.C.Contribution.D.Impression. 5.What happened to the son of the young couple?A.He didn’t want to eat food.B.He had a headache.C.He was suffering from bone cancer.D.His legs were injured in an accident.6.Which of the following can best describe Wan and Xiong?A.Cold and serious.B.Clever and romantic.C.Humorous and independent.D.Devoted and selfless.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Kitchen of love B.The development of kitchensC.An unforgettable experience D.The importance of hard workSome animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.8.How do some animals find their way home?A.By counting their steps.B.By using their born abilities for direction.C.By bringing food together.D.By walking through a thick forest.9.What guides a certain kind of fish to swim a long way to a place and back?A.The magnetic field.B.The sense of smell.C.Stars in the sky.D.City lights.10.What should people do to help birds find their way at night?A.To travel at night.B.To keep city lights on.C.To develop unusual abilities.D.To turn off some lights at night.11.In which part of a magazine can you find this text?A.Sports.B.Travel.C.Science.D.Health.Ten years ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence (人工智能) to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings back loved ones through virtual form.Recently, it was reported that famous musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who passed away in 2021 due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of AI, Bao was able to recreate his late daughter Bao Rong as a virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team tried to piece together pictures, videos and memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Chinese and English. Bao finally set up a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.However, every coin has two sides. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers warn that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased (已故的) loved one could lead to lasting sadness and other mental health problems.After the case of Bao Rong, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. Some people use it to commit crimes or make profits. Therefore, it is important for the government to make laws to make sure the use of AI resurrection technology is safe and responsible.12.How does AI bring back loved ones?A.By taking pictures.B.By building a system.C.By creating virtual form.D.By playing recordings.13.Why did Bao set up a company?A.To earn money and fame.B.To show his interest in AI.C.To attract people’s attention.D.To bring the technological miracle to other families.14.What do the researchers think of AI resurrection?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Neutral.D.Unconcerned. 15.What should the government do?A.Stop people from using the technology.B.Apply the technology as soon as possible.C.Strengthen the management of the technology.D.Educate the public about the dangers of the technology.Have you ever woken up sleepily even after getting eight hours of sleep? You are bored and nervous, and even though you have nothing to do, you remain alert (警觉的) and always worry about new tasks. 16 Learn to plan breaksMany people do not know how to arrange their rest time and always feel anxious when they take a break. You can try to plan your relaxation time and do some activities you enjoyed doing as a child.17 Take a 10-minute nap (小睡)Taking a nap has many benefits. A 10-minute nap can improve your work performance.18 However, no nap or a nap for more than 10 minutes can make you bad in the ability to think and perform, making you more tired than before. 19“Being out in nature is exciting and pleasant,” said clinical psychologist Rachel Andrew. Therefore, when you have a free weekend, you can go to the park, go hiking or go to the garden picnic. Get in touch with nature and you can remove a week of tiredness.To be with friends and familyIt is a good choice to be with your friends and relatives and talk to each other. 20 You can spend time with your family or friends over the festive period, which can relieve your stress and make you relaxed.A.Get close to nature.B.Get out of your comfort zone.C.Besides, it can improve your mood.D.Here are some tips to make you relaxed.E.Doing exercise makes you stay healthy physically.F.For example, you can keep diaries and play games.G.With their company, you don’t have to worry about being yourself.二、完形填空My 14-year-old son sent a postcard to us while we were still away on our most recent trip to Sydney. It 21 our house about a week later. The touching 22 nearly brought me to tears.“Even though we 23 have two days of adventure ahead of us, I am just so 24 for everything we have experienced together on this trip,” he writes.Our youngest son is just about to 25 to 12 years old. In those years, we have never taken a true 26 as a family of four to a place we’ve never been. Like most 27 , I have no idea where the time has gone. But I also think these are some of the best ages to 28 with kids.This vacation to Sydney was our very first 29 , long-distance trip together. The kids helped 30 the trip with input on things they might like to see and do. They reached for our hands in crowds. I couldn’t remember the last time they held our hands 31 .One of our family bonding moments came when we took a family surfing lesson. It was the first time any of us had tried surfing, although it was something the boys had been 32 . The smiles on the boys’ faces were everything. They were so 33 when they stood up on the board and rode the waves one by one.Those are memories I’m going to 34 . And yes, I will remind them of these times the next time I reach for their 35 .21.A.mentioned B.left C.reached D.passed 22.A.journal B.report C.diary D.note 23.A.ever B.still C.never D.already24.A.grateful B.inspired C.sorry D.nervous 25.A.turn B.match C.remain D.dislike 26.A.look B.picture C.vacation D.walk 27.A.visitors B.parents C.writers D.educators 28.A.work B.discuss C.celebrate D.travel 29.A.busy B.extended C.temporary D.unexpected 30.A.plan B.recall C.imagine D.judge 31.A.hopefully B.peacefully C.willingly D.curiously 32.A.interested in B.tired of C.good at D.involved in 33.A.sad B.frightened C.proud D.careful 34.A.carry out B.hold onto C.know about D.take up 35.A.souls B.letters C.faces D.hands三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world.Fathers who value (重视) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children h appy memories which may last a lifetime.While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.Good fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their liv es and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (个体) that their children are becoming.Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force.Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them.Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the chance for growth and development. Today’s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are keeping a balance between their personal life, work, and family time.1.The passage is mainly about _________.A.how to be a qualified fatherB.the growth and development of both fathers and childrenC.the father’s role in the growth and development of childrenD.the change of the father’s role in modern society2.A unique person in the third paragraph means “a person who”.A.has the same ideas as othersB.is the only one of his typeC.does everything without considering others’ ideasD.tries to do everything well3.Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?A.Good fathers attend their children’s school activities but never take them t o their workplace.B.Good fathers expect a great deal from their children and force them to work hard.C.Good fathers try to make it clear to their children that staying with their fathers is an investment.D.Good fathers improve themselves when they spend time with their children.4.According to the passage, father’s involvement in their children’s lives may NOT lead to ____.A.the good fate(命运) of their childrenB.better reading levels of their childrenC.happy memories which may last a lifetimeD.greater cognitive development of their childrenB14、● A good heartDikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty(贫穷) and disease(疾病). Later he became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in Congo(刚果). People called him "a good-hearted man".● Success and kindnessAfter her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And now she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program, "I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done."● Bravery and courageWesley Autrey became a national hero when he placed his life in danger to help a stranger who had fallen onto the tracks in a New York subway tunnel.Autrey was waiting for a downtown local train in Manhattan one day with his two daughters. Suddenly, a young man, Cameron Hollopeter, fell onto the subway tracks. Just then a train was coming. He dove onto the tracks and tried to take Hollopeter off the tracks, but there was not enough time to drag Hollopeter away. Instead, Autrey threw himself down onto the man, in the space between the rails(铁轨). It was too late for the train to stop. Several cars passed over them, and left a grease(润滑油) mark on his hat.After that Autrey said, "I just saw someone who needed help and did what I felt was right."1.What was Mutombo praised(赞扬) for?A.Being a star in the NBA.B.Being a citizen of America.C.His work in the USA.D.Helping people in the home town.2.Who was Julie in the passage?A.A famous basketball player.

But the increase in climbers is turning the world’s highest mountain into the “world’s highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.Every year, more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish, including oxygen bottles, broken tents, and plastic bags, according to Ang Tshering Sherpa, chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川),” Sherpa said.More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem, Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15,000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.On the Chinese side of the mountain, Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year. A program named “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” also started in 2004 to clear up the mountain.Hopefully, human beings will finally solve the problem, just as they found the way up the mountain successfully. 1.Which of the following was not used to call the world’s highest mountain long ago?A.Mount Everest.B.Mount Qomolangma.C.The Third Pole of the Earth.D.The world’s highest junkyard.2.Why is the world’s highest mountain turning into the “world’s highest junkyard?A.Tibet has not collected enough money to clear up the mountain.B.Climbers have left too much human waste and all kinds of rubbish.C.People in the area have no idea of how to recycle their daily rubbish.D.700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma every year.3.What have been done to protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma?A.Each climber has been asked to pay for the cleaning fee of $100-200.B.Nepal has asked each climber to bring down all the rubbish they carried there.C.A special team of explorers and volunteers have brought down 15,000kg of rubbish.D.“Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” has started in China and Nepal.4.Which is the correct order of the following events?a. “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” started.b.

If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs(电源插头)for personal computers or mobile phones.1.The main idea of the passage is that .A.trains are a good form of public transport for LondonersB.Ifs fast to travel from London to ParisC.trains in Britain provide fine services for their usersD.people must travel by train in Britain2.In traffic jams on the road, .A.drivers can drive fast B.drivers can drive carelesslyC.cars are not moving fast D.drivers can drive happily.3.The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the of trains.A.speed B.safety C.services D.price4.Londoners often travel by train because trains are .A.fast, safe and comfortable B.large, clean and powerfulC.fine and expensive D.cheap and clean5.What can we know from the passage?A.We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2hours.B.We can do our work with personal computers on the train.C.We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.D.We can get on the train at any station without tickets.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假定你是李华,请给你的笔友Alan写封邮件,告诉他今年你将去他所在的城市游玩,并制定了旅行计划。

The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to take_control_of Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, most of the Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace. The Irish are famous for being warmhearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sungwithout instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.1.What does the underlined phrase “take control of” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Reach. B.Conquer. C.Challenge. D.Support.2.What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A.How the Irish fought against the English.B.How Ireland gained independence.C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D.How two “Ireland” came into being.3.We learn from the text that in Ireland ________.A.food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in populationB.people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC.it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD.different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments4.The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A.the Irish character B.Irish cultureC.Irish musical instruments D.a famous Irish writerDWhen I speak to other parents about how responsible my kids are, I often get laughed at or they make a comment about how strict a parent I must be. Giving kids responsibilities is a must. It is parents' job to make their kids become responsible adults and to prepare them for the real world and life as an adult.Kids as young as toddlers (学走路的孩子) can be given small jobs to do and can help you around the house, in the garden, at the grocery store, etc. They can do little jobs like setting the table, helping to make the bed, washing dishes, washing the car and so on. When you let children do small jobs at a young age and make it fun, encourage, praise and thank them, it quickly becomes normal and a part of life. Kids who are given different responsibilities grow up with a much greater sense of selfworth, selfesteem and are more confident. As the children grow, their responsibilities grow and expand.Doing everything for children or not allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them is not being a positive, responsible parent. The kids will more than likely end up withbad attitudes, and usually have no respect for their parents or other adults and at times have no respect for themselves. When your kids are ready to leave home, they should be responsible, capable and confident.It is my opinion that parents are to be thanked or to be blamed (责备) for just how kids take control of their lives. They are a product of their environment, mirroring what they have seen and what you have taught them. Parenting is the hardest job in the world and none of us are perfect, but it is our job!5.What do other parents think when the author says her child is responsible?A.They think it not rare. B.They think it acceptable.C.They think it not good. D.They think it lucky.6.Parents can make their kids become responsible by ________.A.making small jobs fun B.giving them simple jobs to do C.praising and encouraging them D.setting a good example to them7.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that doing everything for children ________.A.is bad for their development B.shows no respect for childrenC.is difficult for every parent D.shows parents' responsibility8.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To explain the responsibilities of parents.B.To show her experience in raising children.C.To advise parents to make children responsible.D.To encourage kids to be responsible.单元写作范文背诵为了让更多的外国游客了解中国文化,欣赏中国美丽的自然风光,感受中国发生的巨大变化,某外文杂志社将出版一本英语小册子来介绍中国的旅游景点。

广西高一下学期期末英语试卷(带答案解析)(满分:150分;考试时间:120分钟)学校:___________班级:___________姓名:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解The Perfect Anniversary DestinationsIf your anniversary is coming up and you’re looking to get away from the business of everyday life to celebrate in luxury, then check out this list of perfect anniversary destinations.SantoriniOne of the most wonderful islands in the Cyclades of Greece, Santorini really is special.

B.All have perfect restaurants.C.All feature beautiful beaches. D.All have large shopping malls.In late December, I went for a hike with my two daughters. And by hike I mean we walked, climbed and slid for five hours through a thick, wet mountainous area of Costa Rican jungle to get to what promised to be a splendid waterfall.My daughters are active and strong. And I thought I was too. But it became pretty obvious as we went on that while we were all falling and covered with mud, laughing at how absurd it was, they got up more quickly and kept our guide more easily. I was always the slowest and the sweatiest.They’d wait for me if I got too far back, watching as I picked my way toward them. It reminded me of the first glimpse I had of my mom as someone weaker than I, like when she started to get out of breath walking across parking lots. It’s a slow change that happens gradually over decades, until one day you’re your mother’s mother making sure she eats dinner.When the girls and I finally got to that waterfall, it was indeed wonderful: a 40-feet wall of water crashing down with such energy that we had to shout above the noise. We took off a few wet clothes and jumped into the deep pool at the base.It was shocking, not because of coolness of the water, but because of the force of the current.After a long time of trying hard to get closer to the base of the waterfall, we were tired and gathered up our stuff, arguing over who would return with the heaviest pack. I did not get a pass due to age. Hadn’t they seen me struggling back there? Instead I was accused of being “able-bodied”. As we set off, back in formation, the girls climbed just ahead of me, talking excitedly about something I couldn’t quite make out above the noise in nature.Of course, that’s what every generation hopes for the next—that they’ll be able to take care of each other without you, that when you slowdown, they’ll have each other.4.How was the journey according to the first paragraph?A.Tough and tiring. B.Boring and meaningless.C.Happy and relaxing. D.Satisfying and comfortable.5.Which of the following could best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A.Possession. B.Expression. C.Awareness. D.Appearance. 6.Why was the waterfall shocking to them?A.Because it was noisy.B.Because the water was too cold.C.Because the waterfall flew powerfully.D.Because they haven’t seen a waterfall before.7.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To stress the importance of family.B.To remember her mother.C.To express her admiration for the waterfall.D.To show her hope for the next generation.New study shows that when teachers participate in a training program focused on prosocial (亲社会的) classroom behavior, their students are better able to control their emotions, and that children who can regulate emotions are more likelyto be academically successful.For the study, which appears in Prevention Science, researchers looked at more than 100 teachers and 1,817 students from kindergarten to third grade to see if teachers could support students’ emotional and behavioral growth through the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IYTCM) program.The program uses videos and training sessions, along with role-playing and coaching, to help teachers learn management skills such as using behavior-specific praise, building positive relationships with students, and considering how to reduce poor behavior. Teachers in the training group increased interactions with students by 64 percent compared with 53 percent for teachers in the control group without the training.“Emotional regulation is the ability to recognize what behavior is appropriate in the present situation,” says Wendy Reinke, professor in the College of Education at the University of Missouri. “For example, a student might have difficulty controlling the feeling of anger if he or she becomes annoyed with another student. But under this program, the teacher encourages them to move to a different spot in the classroom, effectively teaching them that sometimes stepping away and taking a break is a good way to calm down and manage8ha8feeling.”After one school year of using the program in classrooms, students improved their social ability and ability to regulate their emotions. These improvements resulted in an increase in the tests for students in Incredible Years classrooms vs. students in control classrooms. And this classroom management approach can help reduce the risk for struggling learners early on, which could help prevent more accumulative support needs in a child’s future.8.What do the teachers do in the IYTCM program?A.Learn how to identify poor behavior.B.Offer the researchers advice on emotional control.C.Take care of kids from kindergarten to third grade.D.Apply different ways to learning how to manage kids.9.What do Wendy Reinke’s words suggest in Para. 4?A.Now it is hard for students to control their anger.B.A calm manner is an effective way to handle problems.C.Few can realize their behavior is unfit for a situation.D.The program will show how to handle troublesome kids.10.What is the author’s attitude towards the training program?A.Positive. B.Negative.C.Subjective. D.Indifferent.11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Study results of the program are entirely unexpected.B.The program advances the students’ academic performance.C.Students in control classrooms can better control their emotions. D.Students change their bad behavior shortly through the program.With a sun hat made of solar panels, a tea picking robot snakes its way through rows of Longing tea bushes in Hangzhou’s West Lake scenic spot, East China’s Zhejiang province. The 550-kg robot picker is a godsend for local tea planters this season. The upcoming Qingming Festival, which falls on Wednesday this year, is the major harvest period for early spring tea, and the local tea gardens are quite understaffed these days.Longing tea, also known as West Lake Dragon Well tea, is a kind of green tea. “The beautiful forms of a bud with one leaf or a bud with two leaves are often acknowledged as quality tea. And the picking work of such tea leaves has relied largely on hand-operated work, very difficult to be replaced by machines,” said Jia Jiangming, developer of the robot.However, most of the tea pickers in the production areas of Longjing tea are all in their 60s, few are in their 50s, and young people are not willing to land jobs in the industry. “If so, the Longjing tea industry may face great embarrassment when there remains nobody to help pick the leaves,” Jia said when explaining why his team started to develop tea-picking robots as early as 2019.Jia’s team introduced the model of convolution neural networks (卷积神经网络) in deep learning, enabling the robot to study many tea tree bud and leaf image data. Using binocular stereo (双目立体) vision, the robot can position where the target bud and leaf are, cut them off accurately, and then suck the leaves into its basket.Earlier this year, Jia’s robot helper developed into its fifth generation. The upgraded robot’s overall tea-picking success rate rose from 40 percent to 60 percent. “The new generation robot can do as well as a human tea picker,” said Chen Jianneng, another researcher of the team, adding that though the robot is still in its trial operation, they plan to improve its practicability, thus allowing the tea industry to enjoy benefits brought by modern mechanization in the coming future. 12.Why is there a lack of human tea pickers in the Longjing tea industry? A.Because machinery has taken the place of human tea pickers.B.Because the tea-leaf picking work can only be done by humans.C.Because human tea pickers are not capable of picking the target tea leaves. D.Because the young generation are not interested in the demanding job. 13.What can we learn about the robot tea-leaf picker?A.It can suck the damaged leaves into its basket.B.It can increase the quality of the early spring.C.It can help pick tea leaves accurately and intelligently.D.It can reach a higher tea-picking success rate than humans.14.What does Chen Jianneng think of the new generation robot?A.The robot’s picking efficiency has been greatly increased.B.The robot cannot be put into use for it hasn’t been tested yet.C.The benefits of the robot are being enjoyed by the tea industry.D.The robot still needs improvements before coming into common use.15.What is the best title of this text?A.Robot Joins Longjing Tea HarvestB.The Newest Robot Picker Enjoys PopularityC.Advanced Technology Is Used in Tea IndustryD.Longjing Tea-Leaf Picking Work Faces Challenge二、七选五How to Teach ConfidenceWhile it might seem like some people are just born confident, confidence is largely an acquired skill. 16 Start by building up their self-esteem, independent thought, and positive self—talk. Show them how to achieve goals, and how to deal with failure when it happens. With lessons like these, you can teach the people around you to become more confident.Model confident behavior far people.If you’re trying to improve someone’s confidence, be a model for how they should behave in a confident way. 17 Show them confident interpersonal relations like eye contact, handshakes, and making small talk. This lets them practice in a safe environment.Praise small accomplishments to raise a person’s self-worth.If you’re trying to build someone’s confidence, start small. Each accomplishment they complete is a cause for celebration, even if it seems small. Be happy for your friends, kids, or students. 18Give specific praise so people know what they did well.A specific praise is better than a simple “You did well”. 19 . This makes your praise more genuine and boosts the person self-esteem more by showing them their strengths.Start with a positive statement before correcting something.20 This is especially important if you’re a parent, teacher, or coach. If you do have to make criticisms or corrections, always start by saying something positive first. This raises the person’s spirits and makes it easier for them to take the critical feedback that’s coming up.A.Instead, tell the person exactly what they did well.B.It’s something you can model and teach other people.C.You may have to point out where someone needs to improve.D.Instead of feeling criticized, the person will know you’re sincere.E.Act confident around them and in your interpersonal interactions.F.Your positive energy will teach them to celebrate their achievements.G.You might show someone’s strengths to help them see the bright side.三、完形填空“The silence is killing me,” I thought as I locked my phone, hoping a new message would light up the screen.

As an adult he took his love of Legos to another level: walking barefoot(赤脚) on the road covered with sharp Lego bricks. And last year, he broke a Guinness World Record for walking two miles barefoot on the bricks.After his first world record, Cassevah decided to make good use of Legos. In 2019, Cassevah walked on Lego bricks to raise money for Fairy Bricks, a nonprofit in Britain that gives free Lego sets to sick kids. After finshing the task, he did some research about what Legos could do for kids in hospitals and knew he’d found his purposeHe was working at the time as a trainer for the Canon USA camera company and decided to use some of his earnings (工资) to buy Lego sets and send them to children’s hospitals on the weekends.Cassevah’s life was changed in 2020 when he met an 1-year-old girl named Tessa who had brain cancer(癌症).“She is a lovely girl.” he recalled. “When she didn’t make it, it rocked my life.” In memory of Tessa, Cassevah quit his job and began traveling the country to send free Lego sets to children’s hospitals through the nonprofit. He created Little Bricks Charity. Each year, he uses donations to buy and give away more than $120000 worth of Lego sets to 29 children’s hospitals nationwide.Cassevah recently completed a road trip to the Arkansas Children’s Northwest Hospital in Springdale, where he donated $9,000 worth of new Lego sets to young patients.“When I build Legos with kids my goal is to create fun memories,” he said. “More than anything,we laughed and had fun. My time with them reinforced(使更强烈)my feeling that I’m doing the right thing.”4.What did Cassevah do last year?A.He broke the record for making the longest Lego set.B.He invited his family members to build Lego bricks.C.He walked two miles barefoot on Lego bricks.D.He received a new Lego set from his mother.5.What is the main task of Fairy Bricks?A.Finding more kids with a gift for playing with LegosB.Providing free Lego lessons for poor kids.C.Holding Lego competitions for kidsD.Sending free Lego sets to sick kids.6.What did Cassevah do for Tessa?A.He quit his job to take care of her.B.He spent all his money to save her life.C.He traveled around the country with her.D.He started a nonprofit to help kids like her.7.What does Cassevah hope to achieve with his efforts?A.To give young patients some comfort.B.To inspire more young patients to follow himC.To help more young patients find their interestsD.To offer free medical treatment to young patientsPolleras are traditional skirts worn by Indigenous (本土的) Aymara and Quechua women. Now a group of women athletes in Bolivia (玻利维亚) has made polleras popular in the city, wearing the skirts during skateboarding exhibitions (滑板表演).“The pollera is connected with the countryside, with ignorant (无知的) people,” says Danicla Santivanez, a co-founder of ImillaSkate, a skateboarding group that has made the skirts a centerpiece of its performances. “We want people to understand that there is nothing wrong with wearing a pollera.”“The polleras are very valuable to me,” says Deysi Tacuri Lopez, 28, another member of the skating group. “I wear them with pride.”Tacuri and fellow members of ImillaSkate are among those with Indigenous ancestors. Some of their relatives still wear polleras. “Here in Bolivia, many women in polleras are thehead of their families,” Tacuri says. “For me, women in polleras can do anything.”Apart from “bringing all kinds of people together,” Tacuri says ImillaSkate has also helped its members accept their own roots (根). “We ourselves have decided to get to know our culture and our identity. We have decided to revalue our clothing,” says Tacuri.Once the skaters decided to use polleras to show the pride they feel for their heritage, they faced a challenge: getting more familiar with the skirts themselves. They didn’t know where to find polleras, so they turned to their grandmothers for help. The young women then went on a hunt for stores in the city that sold them. When they showed up at the Mercado de Punata, a market for food and used clothing in Cochabamba, “everyone was surprised that we were looking for this kind of clothing. We are young and from the city,” says Santivanez.In a video posted on YouTube, seven member of the group wear their colorful skirts as they skate in parks, and other places.“Our goal is to encourage the practice of skateboarding, to develop the sport,” says Tacuri. “But we also want to send out a message: Let’s not forget our roots.”8.Why is ImillaSkate special?A.Its main purpose is to respect women.B.Its members wear polleras every day. C.It connects sport with tradition.D.It is rooted in the countryside.9.How does Tacuri feel about women in polleras?A.Honest.B.Powerful.C.Hard-working.D.Single-minded. 10.What was challenging for the skaters at first?A.How to afford the valuable traditional skits.B.How to win support from their grandmothers.C.How to deal with questioning looks from people.D.How to have a good understanding of the traditional skirts.11.What might be the best title for the text?A.Skating in polleras with pride B.Dancing in polleras C.Remembering your roots D.Skateboarding in BoliviaThe next time you’re struggling to remember exactly where you left your keys, don’t necessarily give up on your memory completely. A new study suggests that people do have a “spatial massive memory” (SMM) for where objects are located and a “temporal massive memory” (TMM) for when objects were last seen.“People often think that their memory is terrible, but this is not at all the case,” said leading author Jeremy Wolfe. “While our spatial and temporal memory for objects may not be as impressive as some birds, who have to remember where they hid their food for the winter, our data show that we do have massive memory for objects.”To conduct their study, Wolfe and colleagues asked participants (参与者) to remember some objects placed on a 7-by-7 grid (网格). After participants were shown the items, all of the images were removed and the participants were then tested on their ability to recall (回想) if they had seen an item before and, if so, where it had been located on the grid. In another experiment, participants were shown items one at a time and were asked to click on a timeline, present on the screen, to indicate when they had seen the object.“In some ways, this is a bit like the game of Memory that many of us played as children, where we turned over a card and then tried to recall the location of a matching card that we had seen before,” said Wolfe. “In our study, many observers who saw 300 objects altogether could localize over 100 items to the true object location and 60-80% of old items to their correct time.”“Since ancient times, people have been using memory tricks (技巧) to store large amounts of information in their minds. In that sense, it’s not surprising that using our methods, we discover that we’re pretty good at remembering where objects are,” said Wolfe. “Our experiments show that spatial and temporal massive memories exist. Future research will study their limitations.”12.What can we learn about SMM?A.It helps people to remember the locations of objects.B.It plays an important role in people’s short memory.C.It makes it easier for animals to find food in winter.D.It is one of the possible reasons for TMM.13.What did Wolfe’s study find?A.We have better SMM than some birds.B.We are good at observing different objects.C.Our memory for objects is better than we think.D.Our memory problems can be improved in group activities.14.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The purpose of the study.B.The process of the study.C.A further suggestion for the study.D.A reasonable doubt about the study. 15.What will Wolfe focus on in the future?A.Whether massive memories exist in the brain.B.How ancient people trained their memory.C.The effect of traditional memory tricks.D.The limitations of SMM and TMM.二、七选五Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because theynew language or improving your current (现在的) one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize, new words.Integrate (融入) the new words into your environment. Hang large blank pieces of paper in places you frequent, like the bathroom or kitchen. 17 That way you’ll find yourself frequently noticing them as you go about your day. You can also draw a small picture showing the meaning of the word beside it.Make the new words part of your life. 18 For example, if you want to learn to use the word “azure”, a bright blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation: “My new cup is a beautiful azure color.”19 The more fun you can make your vocabulary learning time, the more likely you are to do it and team from it. There are a number of free vocabulary-learning games online. Make the most of these resources, and you will make unexpected progress.Revise the words. Not everyone has a great memory (记忆力). 20 After revising them a couple of times, make sure you are confident with their use.A.Turn learning into a game.B.Luckily, that’s far from the case.C.Choose a book that you would like to read.D.You can write new words into sentences related to your own life.E.So even if you’ve got those words remembered, you still need a review.F.Add new words and their meanings to the hanging paper as you see them.G.You want to have somewhere to look up the meaning of the word when you need to.三、完形填空I choose to go to the Medical University in Nanjing, wanting to study in the medical field.

Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every craft. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they’ve crafted thousands of items in support of the important things.Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was inspired to have the group knit hats for infant (幼儿) patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional (情感的) impact these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.Beall e, a certified child life specialist at Children’s Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.4.What do we know about the hats from paragraph 2?A. They centre on spiritual comfort.B. They have holiday food subjects.C. They are knitted by the caregivers.D. They are worn on child patients’ birthdays. 5.Why do the caregivers wear the hats first?A.

Why some holiday celebrations are held.B. Why some special photos are important.C. What the hats can be used as on holidays.D. What the hats can be matched with.7.Which of the following can best describe the members of Knit Wits?A. Unsuccessful.B. Warm-hearted.C. Impractical.D. Dishonest.Soap (肥皂) might seem like a reasonable way to avoid mosquito (蚊子) bites on the basis that if mosquitoes can’t smell you, they can’t bite you. However, a recent study has found that rather than protecting you, certain soaps might actually make you more attractive to mosquitoes.In the study, conducted at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, four volunteers were asked to wear a sleeve before and after washing with four different brands of soap. The researchers then watched female (雌性的) mosquitoes—as only females feed on blood—landing on the fabric sample to show their preference. They found that some people washing with some brands of soap, increased their attractiveness to mosquitoes, while washing with other brands of soap tended to repel (驱除) mosquitoes. The repellent effect of some soap may be because of its coconut smell, as coconut oil is known to act as a natural mosquito repellent.The reason behind this attraction is believed to be related to mosquitoes’ sugar intake. When mosquitoes are not feeding on blood, they add their diet with plant juice or sweet water from flowers. “The fact we are taking those flowery and fruity smells and putting them on our bodies means that now the same object smells like a flower and a person at the same time,” said Clément Vinauger, who led the study. “It would be like wa king up and smelling the smell of coffee and bread. Very attractive.”Interestingly, the effects of the soap varied among people, possibly because of the interaction between the soap and each person’s unique body smell. “It’s remarkable that the same person that is extremely attractive to mosquitoes when he is unwashed, but he becomes even more attractive to mosquitoes with one soap, and then become repellent to mosquitoes with another soap,” said Vinauger. Further research is needed to better understand th einteraction between different soap and body smell, as well as to develop more effective mosquito repellents.8.What has the study found?A. Soap attracts many mosquitoes.B. Female mosquitoes feed on something except blood.C. Some plants drive away mosquitoes.D. Not all soap can stop mosquito bites.9.How did the researchers conduct the study?A. By observing the mosquitoes’ behaviour.B. By exploring the history of mosquitoes.C. By interviewing a lot of volunteers.D. By examining old studies.10.Why did Vinauger mention coffee and bread?A. To stress the importance of breakfast.B. To discuss their probable health benefits.C. To compare the difference of objects used in the study.D. To prove the attractiveness of some soap to mosquitoes.11.In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A. Health.B. Chemistry.C. Sports.D. Tour.The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search-and-rescue (营救) tasks. Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU).Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots’tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can“remember”their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light andBoth the robots’ motors are each made up of two shape memory alloys, allowing them to move their fins as fast as 40 times a second while also lifting over 150 times their weight. “They’re very technologically sound. The development of the very lightweight robots opens up new possibilities in micro-robotics,” said Conor Trygstad, a material engineering PhDstudent and study lead author.“Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair ‘still fall behind their biological relatives’,” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second. For now, the robots also require wired (连线的) power sources, thus seriously preventing any real-world applications for the moment.Going forward, however, the team plans to copy other small insect species while also creating a new water strider robot which can move at a higher speed. Depending on using small batteries could also greatly increase the robots’ areas of use. If the breakthrough designs continue improving, similar micro-robots could one day be employed to monitor hard-to-reach or dangerous environments.12.What is the inspiration for the two robots?A. A special monitor.B. An insect species.C. The lightest micro-robot.D. A search-and-rescue task.13.What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2?A. Cheap.B. Cool.C. Huge.D. Fast.14.What might Lonor Trygstad agree with?A. Both robots can identify sound.B. Both robots need wireless power sources.C. Both robots work better than water striders.D. Both robots have weaknesses besides strengths.15.What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Are Saving EnvironmentB. Shape Memory Alloys Are The KeyC. Human Beings Learn From AnimalsD. Two Micro-robots Can Play A Big Part二、七选五16.Why is it important to learn a foreign language?

During his childhood, his family moved to Denver, Colorado, a place offering many opportunities to climb mountains, explore, and eventually become the adventurer he’d always wanted to be. Back in 2003, Ralston was climbing in the remote, mountainous area of Southwestern Utah, when the unthinkable happened: Aron got stuck in a crevice (裂缝) in the rocks and pinned by a big stone that weighed over 360 kilograms. The weight of the rock crushed his arm, and he was pinned by it. Aron took photos of his bad situation (which was going to get a lot worse) as he waited for rescue teams (救援队) to come to remove the rock so that he could get out and home safe.But rescuers never came. Aron waited for them for days till he lost his hope. He knew he had to do something. He was 18 meters above the floor of the valley where he was pinned in, and he had a pocketknife. He made what must have been one of the most difficult decisions of his life: to cut his own arm in order to survive. Aron cut the lower part of his arm off, having to wrench (扭动) his forearm against the big stone to break the bones, and then got himself down to the bottom of the valley, where he would begin to walk and search for help. Luckily, help arrived in the form of a helicopter (直升机) that spotted him, covered in blood. Aron had tied off the wound to keep himself from bleeding to death pretty successfully and would eventually make it out alive.Ralston went on to become an inspiring speaker and continued to travel and climb mountains—he didn’t let an incident that forced him to cut his own arm off, stop him from doing what he really loved.1. What can be inferred about Aron’s getting stuck?A.It was unavoidable. B.It resulted from his being lost.C.It was unexpected. D.It was caused by a moving stone.2. Why did Aron take photos of his bad situation?A.To send them to rescuers for help. B.To keep a record of his adventure.C.To remind his friends of the danger. D.To tell the doctors about his wound.3. What does the underlined word “spotted” mean in paragraph 2?A.Greeted. B.Found. C.Encouraged. D.Caught.4. What helped Aron Ralston survive?A.His cruelty and anger. B.His effort and bravery.C.His talent and creativity. D.His calmness and determination.3. Do you ever worry that you might waste food? During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people around the world were going hungry, but people came up with unique ways to try and help. One of these was to put fridges filled with food outside for people who needed it. The movement was very popular in the US, but there have also been community fridges all around the world as well.Back in 2016, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Pauline, a restaurant owner in Kochi, India, had the bright idea to put a fridge in the street to stop unused food from going to waste and to help the needy. The idea came to her late one night when she saw a lady searching in a rubbish can for food. Watching the woman, she had a sad thought.“The woman had been sle eping and was woken up by her hunger, so she had to go in search of food instead of sleeping,” said Pauline. She felt really sad that night because the restaurant had made lots of food that could have been given to her.Over in the UK, the idea of communal (公共的) fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and hunger issues, encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted food. UK supermarkets and eateries like Marks & Spencer and Greggs have regularly helped the poor and hungry.Now there is a large movement in the UK to provide communal fridges. One charity, Hubbub, now operates the Community Fridge Network. The network supports groups running communal fridges across the UK, which now number over 300 fridges. Hubbub has partnered with Co-op to provide 500 fridges so far.“A fridge is so often much more than a fridge,” said Hubbub’s official website. “The fridges connect people together, address social isolation (隔绝) and provide people with the opportunity to access healthy food, try somethi ng new and save money.”1. What inspired Pauline to put a fridge in the street?A.The poor conditions the Indian people lived inB.The hunger she’d experienced in her childhood.C.Seeing a lady looking for food in a rubbish can.D.Throwing away unused food into the rubbish can.2. What does Hubbub aim to do?A.Encourage people to donate for the poor.B.Collect unwanted food to help the hungry.C.Transport and repair fridges across the UKD.Help the Community Fridge Network work well.3. What does H ubbub’s official website say about the communal fridges?A.They change the global food issues.B.They encourage a food-saving lifestyle.C.They raise public awareness of healthy eating.D.They bring people together by helping the needy.4. What does the text focus on?A.Charity. B.Education. C.Health. D.Sports.4. Healthcare professionals in four Canadian provinces can now prescribe (开处方) their patients passes to National Parks thanks to a new program, PaRX, which stresses the health benefits of spending time in nature in helping to manage physical and mental health.PaRx was founded by the B. C. Parks Foundation in November 2020 and was officially supported by Parks Canada last month. Health professionals who register (注册) with the program can offer their patients a Parks Canada Discovery Pass, making it the country’s “first national nature prescription program”. The Parks Discovery Pass typically costs about $57 per adult per year.“We’re really asking doctors to prioritize patients who live close to Parks Canada sites so they’ll have more access and can make it part of their everyday lives, and also those for whom the cost of a pass might be a barrier to nature access,” said Melissa Lem, president-elect of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.Studies have shown that spending time in nature has a range of health benefits—from lowering blood pressure and improving heart health to reducing stress and anxiety. PaRx recommends that patients spend at least two hours per week in the great outdoors, and at least 20 minutes each time, to get the most benefit.The program is currently available in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. It will eventually spread to every province.PaRx also has benefits outside of the national parks, with many gardens offering free admission to visitors who show their prescriptions.“There’s almost no medical condition that nature doesn’t make better. Rediscovering nature and then realizing how important it is to us has really shown that nature-health connection,” Lem said.1. What do we know about the Parks Discovery Pass?A.It is low priced. B.It is designed for poor families.C.It is well received. D.It is owned by registered doctors.2. What does PaRx plan to do about the program next?A.Improve its service quality. B.Carry it out all over the country.C.Do further research on its effect. D.Make it available free of charge.3. What does Melissa Lem stress in the last paragraph?A.Nature matters a great deal to our health.B.Not all patients can get treated by doctors.C.People should learn to change their lifestyle.D.People should place health above everything.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Canadians Are Living in Harmony with NatureB.Canadians Are Trying to Get Away from HospitalsC.Canadian Doctors Are Prescribing National Park VisitsD.Canadian Doctors Are Leading the Way in Medical Research5. Three in five people in the UK hold a library card. For some, they’re a shelter from the stresses of day-to-day life. 1 If you’re considering joining your local library, now is the time to do so. And if you need any more encouragement, here are several reasons why you should.Most libraries in the UK allow members of the general public to come and go as they like. 2 You can also take out a library card and borrow books for free, although you will inevitably face a fine for late returns.3 Imagine just how many books you have at your fingertips with a library card? There are lots of modern ones, as well as originals, and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time. It’s a priceless experience, especially for kids, and also a great way to level the educational playing field.Libraries develop with times. They have changed greatly since decades ago. 4 Some libraries have apps so you can see when your books are due back and even reserve books in some cases. There are also libraries which let you access books in digital formats on your mobile device — pretty cool. Libraries are one of very few spaces left in towns and cities where members of the public can come together and actually be and feel like a community. They have notice boards to offer services like exercise classes or learning centers. 56. Many Chinese people used to ________ each other with “Have you had your meal?” to show their friendliness.

南宁市重点中学2023年春季学期高二英语第7周周测试题测试时间:40分钟姓名:___________班级:___________学号:___________得分:___________一、阅读理解ADisneyland Park at Disneyland Paris—Marne-laVallee, FranceIt opened on April 12, 1992. Its layout (布局) is similar to that of the Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California and Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida; it even has a Sleeping Beauty Castle. There are changes to the design of the park to make it better suited for the Parisian weather; the hotels and restaurants have fire-places, and covered walkways are built around the park. Occupying an area of about 140 acres, its attractions include Phantom Manor (its version of the Haunted Mansion), Space Mountain: Mission 2 and Disneyland Railroad.Tokyo DisneySea—Tokyo, JapanSaid to be the most expensive theme park ever built at 335 billion yen, the Tokyo DisneySea also has the record of being visited by 10 million guests in the shortest time since opening. 307 days after its opening on September 4, 2001, it posted 10 million visits. Th e park has seven areas, or “ports of call” as they are called in the park; they are Mediterranean Harbour, American Waterfront, Lost River Delta, Port Discovery, Mermaid Lagoon, Arabian Coast, and Mysterious Island. Its attractions include Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Raging Spirits and Aquatopia.Tokyo Disneyland—Tokyo, JapanJust like Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris, this park was built after the blueprints of Disneyland in California and Magic Kingdom in Florida. Opening on April 15, 1983, it features seven themed areas: the World Bazaar, Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, Critter Country and Mickey’s Toontown. Its attractions include Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek, Western River Railroad, Pooh's Honey Hunt, Space Mountain and the Enchanted Tiki Room: Stitch Presents Aloha e Komo Mai!Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort—California, USAOpening on July 17, 1955, this park is the only Disneyland park built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney himself. This is also one of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, with the other, Disney California Adventure Park opening in 2001. Since its opening it has been under constant renovation (整修) and expansion.1. Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris is changed in design .A.for reasons of weather B.to make it more practicalC.to make it more beautiful D.for reasons of culture2. Which of the following has a different layout from the others?A.Tokyo DisneySea. B.Tokyo Disneyland. C.Disneyland in California. D.Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris.3. Which of the following opened first?A.Tokyo DisneySea. B.Tokyo Disneyland.C.Disney California Adventure Park. D.Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris.BBack in April, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, took over Twitter for a cool $44 billion. That’s a lot of money, even for a billionaire. However, its appeal isn’t obvious. It has around 436 million users every month, which isn’t nothing—but is still a long way behind Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. It also makes a relatively low profit. Then why would Musk make the purchase?The answer might be what makes Titter so interesting: what it lacks in profits, size or growth potential, it makes up for in some way. It has an unmatched ability to shape the culture we live in. Twitter’s cultural power is easy to see. Click on any news article, and there’s a good chance that it’s quoting what someone said on Twitter.What makes the platform significant is its users. Twitter is a bar full of rich people, whereas Facebook is just like the McDonald’s across the street. What Twitter is good at is acting as a global watercooler—a channel for small talk, jokes and informal connections. Because the people hanging out on Twitter are types of great importance and influence, what happens on it can actually affect the rest of the world.However, its ability to influence the real world has strange results too. What happens on Twitter sometimes can only be known, understood, or appreciated by a relatively small number of people and bear little relation to the “real” world. Recent politics gives us a good example: during a recent debate, the BBC spent ten minutes talking about mean tweets about the candidates’ clothes instead of anything that actually matters.But in any case, it’s a powerful example of Twitter’s cultural power. This explains why Musk might pay big money for it. Because even if it doesn’t make business sense, i f you own Twitter you have a voice in the world’s most important watercooler conversation.;4. What made Musk want to buy Twitter?A.Twitter’s business potential.B.Twitter’s high profits. C.Twitter’s numerous users.D.Twitter’s cultural significance.;5. Why can Twitter influence the world?A.It gains a big advantage over Facebook.B.It has important and influential users.C.It keeps people informed of the latest news.D.It responds to what happens in the world quickly.6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The weaknesses of Twitter B.The threats to Titer’s survival. C.The contents on the platform. D.The complaints against social media.;7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Who is in charge of Titter? B.What is Twitter?C.Why is Twitter so important? D.How is Twitter promoted?CChildren’s heavy digital media use is associated with a risk of being overweight later in adolescence. A recent study shows that six hours of leisure-time physical activity per week at the age of 11 reduces the risk of being overweight at 14 years of age associated with heavy use of digital media.Obesity (肥胖) in children and adolescents is one of the most significant health-related challenges globally. A study carried out by the Folkhalsan Research Center investigated whether a link exists between the digital media use of Finnish school-age children and the risk of being overweight later in adolescence. In addition, the study looked into whether children’s physical activity has an effect on this potential link.The study involved 4,661 children who reported how much time they spent on sedentary (久坐的) digital media use and physical activity outside school hours. The study indicated that heavy use of digital media at 11 years of age was associated with a heightened risk of being overweight at 14 years of age in children who reported taking part in under six hours per week of physical activity in their leisure time. In children who reported being physically active for six or more hours per week, such a link was not observed.The study also took into account other factors potentially impacting obesity, such as childhood eating habits and the amount of sleep, as well as the amount of digital media use and physical activity in adolescence. In spite of the confounding (混杂的) factors, the protective role of childhood physical activity in the connection between digital media use in childhood and being overweight later in life was successfully confirmed.“The effect of physical activity on the association betwee n digital media use and being overweight has not been further investigated in follow-up studies so far,” says Postdoctoral Researcher Elina Engberg. “In this study, the amount of physical activity and use of digital media was reported by the children themselves, and the level of their activity was not surveyed, so there is a need for further studies.”8. The subjects of the study were .A.surveyed three years later after the first oneB.those who kept sitting and used digital media a lotC.4,661 school-aged children suffering from obesityD.lacking in sufficient leisure-time physical activity9. What does the underlined word “heightened” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Major B.Particular. C.Increasing. D.Slight.10. What was the focus of the recent study?A.Different factors contributing to kids’ overweight problem.B.The influence of childhood eating habits on children’s obesity.C.The relationship among kids’ exercise, digital media use and obesity. D.Children’s academic challenges resulting from heavy digital media use. 11. What might be talked about in the following paragraph?A.Reasons for carrying out further studies.B.Guidelines for children and adolescents.C.Approaches to solving teens’ weight problems.D.Connections between obesity and physical activity.二、七选五阅读To prepare for an exam, as a student you have to start early. It is easier when it comes to getting serious about preparing for an exam.As to how to go about it, the first thing you need is a plan. 12 . That is the first day to start studying for real. Plan out how many hours you will spend each day studying until the exam. Make a schedule and stick to it.13 . This helps to develop a big-picture overview of the material. Start with big topics and leave room for subtopics. Fill in the information as best as you can. Once you see all the units of information in front of you, it will be easier to organize your studying.To find out if you understand what you have been studying, try working with someone else who will ask you questions about the material. If you can answer and explain without too much effort then you are prepared.14 .On the night before the exam, make sure you get eight hours of sleep. On the morning of the exam, wake up about thirty minutes earlier so that you can do a quick refresher of some of the main points from your exam review. These last thirty minutes keep the information fresh in your mind without wearing you out. 15 . You need to be healthy and careful to do your exam well. Make sure you arrive early so that you are not rushing around right before the exam starts.By following these guidelines, you are better prepared for an exam. You will feel more confident and in control. 16 , you are more likely to do better in the exam.A.When you feel as suchB.When you are used to testsC.You have studied for a whole termD.Eat a full breakfast of healthy foodE.Start with the day one week before the examF.The second thing is to outline the material you need to study G.Usually, doing this will show areas that require more attention and study三、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

But in my anatomy class,Dr.Cuddy introduced"high power"and"low power"body positions,saying "high power"positions involve taking up much space and making yourself look big,while "low power"poses,in contrast,involve making yourself look small,keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close.People tend to see others with high power poses as natural leaders,and are more willing to hire them.Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high power pose increased a person's feeling of power and self-confidence.She wanted us to try it out.On my next quiz-review day,instead of bending over my book studying quietly,I sat up straight and spread out my books and notebooks on the entire surface of my desk.When our teacher asked if anyone had any questions about the material before we began our quiz review,I raised my hand.The effect was surprising.My professor answered my question as if talking to a colleague,and I had a wonderful feeling of calm.Suddenly,I realized that the important thing was that I was participating.I just needed to engage fully in the class and learn.Today,before a presentation or a test,I spend a few minutes "thinking big"—taking up space and being seen.It calms me down and when I do,my best always turns out to be pretty good.4.

What can we learn from Paragraph 1?______A. Protecting cultural heritage is of little significance.B. Countries have the same views on cultural heritage preservation.C. Cultural heritage often makes people proud of their hometown.D. Countries work alone without sharing in protecting cultural heritage.13.

Ways to protect cultural heritage are different from area to area.15. What does the author agree to in protecting cultural heritage______A. International communication is needed.B. We should follow western experts' advice.C. Cultural heritage will be damaged through rebuilding.D. Asian ways to protect cultural heritage are unacceptable.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)How to lead a healthy lifeHave you ever made the resolution to lead a healthy life And what did you do for it?Leading a healthy life means that you should take charge of your own habits and actions.(1)______Get enough sleep.(2)______ Enough sleep can help maintain your immune resistance(抵抗力),your weight,and your mental health.Try to go to bed naturally around the same time every evening so that your body knows it's time to relax.(3)______ Make sure you move every day.It will help to improve your mood,your energy,and your health.If you're an adult,you had better spend 75 to 150 minutes doing aerobic activity(有氧运动)a week.Actually,it's better to exercise more frequently than to get all your working out in one day,so dosomething daily if you can.Build happiness and self-acceptance.(4)______ Therefore,it's necessary to get in the habit of treating yourself lovingly.Speak to yourself the way you would speak to a dear friend.And if you have a positive thought,try to say it out loud.See your doctor regularly.Get your annual check-up,and see a doctor whenever you think something might be wrong.(5)______ Your doctors will be more likely to discover a potentially serious illness or condition early,which can help them treat it more effectively.A.Take proper exercise daily.B.Sleep has much to do with health.C.Get all your working out in one day.D.In fact,it is necessary to have a regular check-up.E.There is a strong link between happiness and health.F.Here are some tips that can help you lead a healthy life.G.It is good for your recovery and can make you feel better.16.

The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to take_control_of Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, most of the Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace. The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.1.What does the underlined phrase “take control of” in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Reach. B.Conquer. C.Challenge. D.Support. 2.What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A.How the Irish fought against the English.B.How Ireland gained independence.C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D.How two “Ireland” came into being.3.We learn from the text that in Ireland ________.A.food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in populationB.people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC.it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD.different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments4.The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A.the Irish character B.Irish cultureC.Irish musical instruments D.a famous Irish writerDWhen I speak to other parents about how responsible my kids are, I often get laughed at or they make a comment about how strict a parent I must be. Giving kids responsibilities is a must. It is parents' job to make their kids become responsible adults and to prepare them for the real world and life as an adult.Kids as young as toddlers (学走路的孩子) can be given small jobs to do and can help you around the house, in the garden, at the grocery store, etc. They can do little jobs like setting the table, helping to make the bed, washing dishes, washing the car and so on. When you let children do small jobs at a young age and make it fun, encourage, praise and thank them, it quickly becomes normal and a part of life. Kids who are given different responsibilities grow up with a much greater sense of self-worth, self-esteem and are more confident. As the children grow, their responsibilities grow and expand.Doing everything for children or not allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them is not being a positive, responsible parent. The kids will more than likely end up with bad attitudes, and usually have no respect for their parents or other adults and at times have no respect for themselves. When your kids are ready to leave home, they should be responsible, capable and confident.It is my opinion that parents are to be thanked or to be blamed (责备) for just how kids take control of their lives. They are a product of their environment, mirroring what they have seen and what you have taught them. Parenting is the hardest job in the world and none of us are perfect, but it is our job!5.What do other parents think when the author says her child is responsible? A.They think it not rare. B.They think it acceptable.C.They think it not good. D.They think it lucky.6.Parents can make their kids become responsible by ________.A.making small jobs fun B.giving them simple jobs to do C.praising and encouraging them D.setting a good example to them 7.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that doing everything for children ________. A.is bad for their development B.shows no respect for childrenC.is difficult for every parent D.shows parents' responsibility 8.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To explain the responsibilities of parents.B.To show her experience in raising children.C.To advise parents to make children responsible.D.To encourage kids to be responsible.单元写作范文背诵为了让更多的外国游客了解中国文化,欣赏中国美丽的自然风光,感受中国发生的巨大变化,某外文杂志社将出版一本英语小册子来介绍中国的旅游景点。
