AWe’ve tested hundreds of mom-approved products that happen to make perfect Mother’s Day gifts. Here are our recommendations.BabbelIf your mom has always wanted to learn a new language, give her the gift of gab with Babbel. Each online course will be personalized by her interests and molded into bite-sized lessons so she can easily learn at her own pace. It’s a great budget-friendly option for diving into a new language. We tested it and found it to be a fun and effective language learning tool.Thermo Works Thermapen Mk4When it comes to the best digital meat thermometers, it doesn’t get better than Thermo Works. We highly recommend the Thermapen ONE, which was the fastest and most accurate thermometer we tested and would have been our top pick if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s waterproof,precise and fast-acting.A Bouqs SubscriptionFresh flowers at Mom’s doorstep will always be appreciated, especially on Mother’s Day. This year, instead of just one bouquet, gift her a subscription (订购）to Bouqs. You can change the frequency of the delivery along with the type of blooms she receives — roses one month, sunflowers the next. She may adorably text you a picture of her bouquet every month it arrives and remind you to maintain the subscription. Go ahead and switch it up to keep Mom on her toes.A Personalized Collage (拼贴画)There are few gifts better than personalized ones, especially when it comes to the mom whopretty much already has everything. With services like Minted, you can upload your own photos for a collage and watch your beautiful creation come to life. Customize the frame and color theme to best match mom’s style and watch her fall in love with her new heartfelt gift.1. What might discourage people from choosing the Thermapen ONE?A. Price.B. Function.C. Accuracy.D. Appearance.2. What do we know about A Bouqs Subscription?A. It can be canceled at random.B. It texts to remind renewing.C. It restricts to monthly deliveries.D. It offers wide choices of flowers.3. In which column of a website is the text probably taken from ?A. Life.B. Wellness.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.6. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave. CFrom crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees, Canada’s nature is admired around the world. Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered. An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health — both mental and physical — by taking a stroll (散步) in nature.The prescriptions are provided by PaRX, in partnership with Parks Canada. The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves. PaRX, a health initiative (倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia Parks Foundation, notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives, increased energy, reduced stress and anxiety, improved heart health, less pain and better mood. Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits. The organization also hopes that the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontarioand Manitoba. Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with nature,” Steven Guilbeault, the environment minister, said. “I am confident this programme will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand throughout the country.”Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a treatment for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, immune function and insomnia (失眠). Previously, though, they would write more general prescriptions, such as spending time in nature twice a week, for at least 20 minutes at a time. This is the first time that they have been able to equip their patients with tickets.8. Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A. To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.B. To advertise Canada’s natural scenery.C. To introduce a health initiative program.D. To demonstrate health benefits of nature.9. What makes the prescriptions significant?A. A boom in park visiting.B. A rise in economy.C. Investment in conservation.D. Improvement in health.10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Patients doubt the general prescriptions.B. The previous “nature therapy” is popular.C. It is a tradition to offer patients park tickets.D. “Nature therapy” is no longer just on paper.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Nature Heals Mental DiseasesB. Canada Possesses Admirable NatureC. Doctors Order A Walk in The WildernessD. Canadian Doctors Have Free Access to ParksDFeeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot”might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities ( like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.12.What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Magic solution.B. Physical power.C.Psychological test.D. Relaxed atmosphere.13.How did the researchers carry out the new study?A.By doing large-scale online surveys.B.By giving interviews and mental tests.C.By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D.By conducting experiments and analyzing data.14.What is a distinct finding of the new research?A.Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B.Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C.Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D.How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.15.What is the focus of the last paragraph?A.The importance of burning stress.B.Easy and fun activities to kill time.C.Further explanation of being productive.D.The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer begins, how he manages to keep going – in fact, how and when he learns his trade – all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery.One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration（灵感）plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: ―Do I feel inspired?‖ He says to himself: ―Do I feel like working today?‖ And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: ―Do I feel sleepy?‖ if you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy, you stayup. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.66. What would be the best title for the text?A. Composer: a man of mysteryB. Practice makes good musicC. Relation between sleeping and musicD. Music: product of nature67. The words ―covered in complete darkness‖ underlined in paragraph 1 most probablymean .A. difficult to be madeB. without any lightC. black in colorD. not known68. Most people seem to think that a composer .A. finds it difficult to write musicB. considers it important to have a good restC. should like to talk about inspirationD. never asks himself very simple questions69. The author will most probably agree that composers .A. are born with a gift for musicB. are people full of mysteryC. work late at night for their musicD. know a lot about eating and sleeping70. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How the music produces.B. How secret the composer’s work.C. Why the composer is so popular with people.D. What the composer often thinks about.BFree and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped(缺乏现金的) students.Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of ￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.Their website says, ―The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.‖ The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city.The site describes itself as offering a ―cost-free accommodation alternative… at a time of growing student debt‖. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡10 annual fee if it becomes established.However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, ―The f act that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.‖ Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.―Th is is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out onwhat is for some a key part of the student experience-living a way from home.‖71. A ―cash-strapped‖ student means one who __________.A. lacks moneyB. prefers to stay at homeC. is careful with moneyD. wants to change cash72. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swa ps?A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.B. To let students stay close to their universities.C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs.D. To let students exchange ideas freely online.73. What can students do on Student Swaps?A. They can find students to exchange homes with.B. They can make friends with students from a different city.C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.74. Now many students would prefer a university _________.A. which can give them free accommodationB. which is not far away from their homesC. which offers the best coursesD. which can offer home-cooked meals75. What would be the best title for the passage?A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UK.B. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UK.C. Two Mothers’ Good Intention to Help Students in UK.D. Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else’s Home.CWelcome to my Message Board!Subject: Slimming down classics?Mr.Handsome2007-5-126: 34 AMOrion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads ―in half the time‖, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.Mr.Edwards2007-5-129: 40 AM Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome.I must say, the idea developed from a game of ―shame‖ in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them. Ms. Weir2007-5-1211:35 AM I’m director of the online book club .Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. I’m guilty of never having read Ann a Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!Mr.Crockatt2007-5-124:38 PM I’m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.In my opin ion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a sh ortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.76. According to the message board, Orion Books ____________ .A. opposes the reading of original classicsB. is embarrassed for cutting down classicsC. thinks cut-down classics have a bright futureD. is cautious in its decision to cut down classics77. In Mr. Edwards’ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to ____________.A. make them easier to readB. meet a large demand in the marketC. increase the sales of literary booksD. compete with their original versions78. By describing the shortened classics as ―a breath of fresh air‖, Ms. Weir____________.A. speaks highly of the cut-down classicsB. shows her love for original classicsC. feels guilty of not reading the classicsD. disapprove of shortening the classics79. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that ____________.A. reading the classic works is a confusing attemptB. shortening the classics does harm to the originalC. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult jobD. editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs80. How many classics are involved in the massage board?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.DIt is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies. Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption （爆发）for the first time and that they plan similar studies.Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second—slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope （听诊器）does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.81. The passage is chiefly about ____ .A. an effort to protect an endangered marine speciesB. the civilian use of a military detection systemC. the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weaponD. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales82. The underwater listening system was originally designed ____ .A. to trace and locate enemy vesselsB. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptionsC. to study the movement of ocean currentsD. to replace the global radio communications network83. The deep-sea listening system makes use of ____ .A. the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under waterB. the capability of sound to travel at high speedC. the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting soundD. low-frequency sounds travelling across different layers of water____84. It can be inferred from the passage that____.A. new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whalesB. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening systemC. opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technologyD. military technology has great potential in civilian use85. Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network?A. It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists.B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.C. It became useless to the military after the cold war.D. It is indispensable in protecting endangered species.第四部分：完成句子(共16小题；每空0.5分，满分20分)1. 就我而言, 我渴望得到这个出国深造的机会。

广东省汕头市高二下学期期末考试英语试题第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ABelieve it nor not, ancient Chinese people had their own methods of heat preservation in winter.• “Wen Ding”, ancient rice cookerThe “Wen Ding”, an ancient cooking container, preserved heat by burning fuels like charcoal. The one unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Stone Age.• “Ran Lu”, ancient small hot potThe “Ran Lu”is a small-sized cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze. A charcoal stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests that these vessels be came popular in the Warring States Period (475—221 BC).• Bronze You, ancient kettleThe Bronze You, one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou, dynasties, could also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi province, had an opening where charcoals could be placed, allowing people to enjoy a hot drink.• Bronze Yan, ancient steamerAlthough the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Van was made with a two-tier (双层的) structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-AD 220), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern day steamer.21. When did the “Ran Lu” begin to gain popularity?A. In the Zhou DynastyB. In the Warring States Period.C. In the Eastern Han Dynasty.D. In the Stone Age.22. One of the main functions of the Bronze You was to .A. place hot charcoalsB. pour hot waterC. keep wine warmD. hold charcoal ashes23.

When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer.After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading.She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited Ann. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Sahra is learning reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.Helen says, “The most rewarding part of volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well a s I enrich theirs.”25. When did Helen first take up volunteering?A. After retirement.B. In high school.C. After work.D. In childhood.26.

It is home to an amazing variety of turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, large fish, birds, corals, plants, and many other species. Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia. This area is three times larg er than Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders.The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by over-fishing, oil and gas exploration and pollution. However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests. It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area, which will mean a large “no-take zone” for fishermen, a no-exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no-dump zone for pollution, possibly making the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any other in the world.We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea. To lose this last great marine wilderness world would be a loss for the whole world.29. According to the passage, why should we protect the Coral Sea without any delay?A. Because the Coral Sea, home to many species, will disappear soon.B. Because the Coral Sea is rich in natural resources like oil and gas.C. Because the Coral Sea is three times larger than Great Barrier Reef.D. Because the Coral Sea will be a marine park larger than any other in the world.30.

What is the attitude of the author towards the protection of the Coral Sea?A. Objective.B. Favorable.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.DTIANJIN, Nov. 23 (Xinhua)- Chinese scientists have signed a deal to establish a commercial animal cloningcenter in the northern port city of Tianjin, making the controversial science closer to mainstream acceptance.The plant in the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (TEDA), a government-sponsored business development park, will clone animals including sniffer and pet dogs, beef cattle and racehorses. Its main building is already under construction and due to be put to use in the near future, said a spokesman on Monday.With an investment of 200 million yuan, the center will be jointly built by Sinica, Peking University’s Institute of Molecular Medicine, the Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biomedicine, and the Republic of Korea’s Sooam Biotech Research Foundation.It will produce 100,000 cattle embryos a year initially, eventually increasing to 1 million, said Xu Xiaochun, board chairman of Boyalife Group, based in Wuxi. Chinese farmers are struggling to produce enough beef cattle to meet market demand, Xu said. The center, the largest ever worldwide, will also include a gene storage area and a museum, he added.Scientists have cloned mice, cattle and other animals since the world’s first cloned sheep, Dolly, was born on July 5,1996 iii Britain. Since 2000, Chinese scientists have cloned sheep, cattle and pigs. China’s first commercial cloning company was established in September 2014 in Shandong with the birth of three pure-blooded Tibetan mastiff puppies.Before this, cloning in China was limited to scientific research. More and more companies have shown interest in investing in the technology for commercial use, especially animal husbandry (饲养).32. What is main purpose of the new animal cloning center mentioned in the passage?A. Artistic creation.B. Money making.C. Scientific research.D. Public welfare.33. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the establishment of the animal cloning center will be a combined effortB. the main building of the animal cloning center has already come into useC. the center will finally increase its annual cattle embryos production to 1 billionD. the world’s fir st cloned sheep, Dolly, was born on July 5,1996 m America34.

2022高二英语下学期期末考试题(含答案)

2022高二英语下学期期末考试题（含答案）第一部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AEvery day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force﹣both online and on foot﹣searching for the perfect gift．Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regul arly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthda ys, anniversaries, graduations, and baby showers．This frequent experience of gift﹣g iving can cause ________ feelings in gift﹣givers．Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift﹣giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with one’s closest persons．At the same time, many fear the thought of buying gifts; they wor ry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended receivers．What is surprising is that gift﹣givers have considerable experience acting as both gif t﹣givers and gift﹣recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set o ut to purchase a meaningful gift．In the present research, we propose a unique psych ological explanation for this overspending problem ﹣i．e．, that gift﹣givers equate ho w much they spend with how much receivers will appreciate the gift （the more expens ive the gift, the stronger a gift﹣recipient’s feelings of appreciation）．Although a link between gift price and feelings of appreciation might seem intuitive （凭直觉得到的）to gift﹣givers, such an assumption may be unfounded．Indeed, we propose that gift﹣receivers will seldom tend to base their feelings of appreciation on the significance wei ght of a gift than givers assume．Why do gift﹣givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift﹣recipients’ feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that bigger （i．e．, more expensive）gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration．According to Camerer （1 988）and others, gift﹣giving represents a symbolic ritual（礼节）, by which gift﹣giver s attempt to signal their positive attitudes toward the intended receiver and their willing ness to invest resources in a future relationship．In this sense, gift﹣givers may be m otivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal” to their int ended receiver．As for gift﹣receivers, they may not consider smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration．In practical terms, people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts, but someho w never learn to measure their gift expenses according to personal insight．（1）The underlined word ________ most nearly means________．A. unrealisticB. conflictedC. appreciativeD. supportive．（2）The authors indicate that people value gift﹣giving because they feel it________．A. functions as a form of self﹣expression．B. is an inexpensive way to show appreciation．C. requires the gift﹣receivers to return．D. can serve to strengthen a relationship．．（3）The authors refer to work by Camerer and others in order to________．A. offer an explanationB. introduce an argumentC. question an intensionD. support a conclusion．BMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice．However, few people know that she was also the moth er of a Nobel Prize winner．Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters．Alon g with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in t heir own school, and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high schoo l education at the College of Sévignéin Paris．Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X﹣ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued t he work by developing X﹣ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government． In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 192 4, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for h is work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later．Like her mother, Irene combined family and career．Like her mother, Irene was award ed a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935．Unfortunately, also like her mother, s he developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）．Irene Joliot﹣Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956．（4）Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal？________A.Because she received a degree in mathematics．B.Because she worked as a helper to her mother．C.Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic．D.Because she contributed to saving the wounded．．（5）Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot？________A.At a military hospital．B.At the University of Paris．C.At the Curie Institute．D.At the College of Sevigne．．（6）When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born？________A.In 1927．B.In 1932．C.In 1897．D.In 1926．．（7）In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother？____ ____A.Irene worked with radioactivity．B.Irene combined family and career．C.Irene died from leukemia．D.Irene won the Nobel Prize once．CThere are two types of people in this world: those who regularly wash their office cof fee cup．And those who only take it off their desk to cover up the coffee mark at the bottom with a fresh pour, driving away their shame with the reasoning that the heat m ust kill the bacteria or spine thing．Depending on which type of person you are, this will be either mildly annoying or m ore﹣than﹣mildly exciting．As Heidi Mitchell wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal col umn, it’s fine to never wash your cup,as long as you’re not sharing it with anybody else．There are two warnings to that statement, infectious﹣disease expert Jeffrey Strak e, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, told Mitchell; One, it only applies if you’re not sharing the cup with anybody else．And two , if you leave cream or sugar in y our cup over the weekend, that can certainly cause mold（霉）to grow ﹣in which ca se, wash it out．Otherwise, though, there’s not really much to worry about．“If I went and cultured t he average unwashed coffee cup, of course I would find bacteria．” Starke said．“But remember the vast majority came from the person who used the cup．” Even if you dr ink from it while sick, it’s pretty hard to re﹣infect yourself with the same cup; most vi ruses don’t live long outside the body,which means that just letting your cup live in it s own dirt may be a safer bet than the alternative; cleaning it with the disgusting spon ge（海绵）in the office kitchen “The sponge in the break room probably has the highe st bacteria count of anything in the office．” Starke sai d if the idea of not washing horri fies you , just stick the sponge in the microwave before using．Otherwise, though, r eel free to continue ________without guilt．（8）What does the passage intend to tell us？________A. It is harmful to drink coffee with sugar．B. It’s okay not to wash your coffee cup regularly．C.The hot water contributes to the bacteria growing．D. Drinking from unwashed coffee cups causes diseases easily．．（9）What do we know from Stark’s words？________A. The coffee cup in the office must be put in the microwave to clean．B. It’s easy to get infected if you often use the same unwashed cup．C. The coffee cup shouldn’t be shared in the office．D. It’s good way to grow bacteria in an unwashed cup．．（10）What does the underlined part “your lazy ways” refer to ？________A. Leaving your coffee cup unwashed．B. Sticking the sponge in the microwaveC.

ALost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monke God”　led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. Itis believed that local people hid here when t he Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopusand Heracleion -- where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries.Artifacts(史前器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds”　in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. Thecity, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer’s The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for hischaracters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancientcities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A. To survive the war.B. To search for a lost city. []C. To protect their country.D. To avoid dangerous animals.22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A. The White CityB. Canopus and HeracleionC. Machu PicchuD. Troy23. What can we learn about Troy?A. It was built by Homer.B. It consisted of nine cities.C. It had a history of 5,000 years.D. It was ruined by a natural disaster.BWhen 1 was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it. When winter arrived, thick, heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grabtheir sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun．I remember watching them with envy because 1 was still too small to go sledding. Finally, one winter 1 was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life. It was soexhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled. Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try ridingthe sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with onebig push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside. 1 was doing pretty well too until I hitan old stump hidden by the snow and went off course, straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second Irolled off and the sled crashed into the tree. I could hear my brothers running down the hillyelling, “You have to steer(操控)! You have to steer!”Sadly, that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life. Many times problems, troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into thetrees of anger, frustration, and despair. I am s till learning that life isn’t always safe sledding I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, backto goodness, and back to God.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then. Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.24. What do we know about the author when he was very young?A. He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.B. He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.C. He longed to go sledding with his brothers.D.

Why did the author fall off his sled?A. Because his sled crashed in an oak tree.B. Because he lost control of his sled.C. Because his brother pushed it so hard.D. Because the hillside was snowy.27. What does the author mean to tell us?A. Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.B. Courage and determination can change one’s life.C. Life can be controlled by one himself.D. Life is a mystery full of coincidences.CChinese audiences seemed not to have been satisfied with the third season of the highlyanticipated food documentary A Bite of China.Picky viewers complain that some of the narration is not accurate, while others pinpointmisleading content. At the same time, food blogger @barbara questioned whether it is appropriate to give a close-up shot of the poisonous plant Nandina（南天竺）in a food program.A Bite of China, which debuted in 2012, became hugely popular nationwide for its qualityintroduction of some rarely-known and mouth-watering domestic cuisine. In the new show, however, watchers are not satisfied with “irrelevant”　food references, such as lipsticks made o f Chinese traditional medicine and martial arts master.The first episode introduced a hand-made iron frying pan from east China’s Shandong province, which prompted thou sands of Chinese Internet users to buy one from China’s leading e-commerce website Tmall in the next few days. Sales of the pan at “Zhensanhuan”　surged 6,000 times compared with a year ago, according to Beijing Youth Daily.In response to overwhelming criticism and questions, A Bite of China production crew responded on Weibo that they seek innovation despite the risks following the first two phenomenal seasons.“It is unavoidable to make comparisons with the first two, and some audiences may not accept the changes,” the crew said. “We explore the culture and civilization behind food, and givefood a historic touch. That’s why we feature culinary（烹饪的）tools, feast and rituals, aswell as a healthy diet to show Chinese wisdom and philosophy, which has not been shown in anyfood programs before.”28. Why does the passage mention Nandina?A. Because some of the narration is not accurate.B. Because it may be improper to give a close-up shot of a poisonous plant.C. Because it is misleading content.D. Because it is not attractive at all to most picky viewers.29. Which of the following elements leads to viewers’ dissatisfaction with the new show?A. some mouth-watering domestic cuisinesB. food-unrelated itemsC. some rarely-known cuisinesD. the increasing sales of the pan at “Zhensanhuan”30. According to its production crew, what is unique to ‘ A Bite of China III’？A. It makes comparisons with the first two episodes.B. It tells the story of some martial arts related to food.C. It receives overwhelming criticism and questions from audience.D. It focuses on cooking tools, rituals and healthy eating.31. What is the best the title for the passage?A. A Bite of China III' Draws Criticism from AudiencesB. A Bite of China III' Maintains High Viewership RatingsC. A Bite of China III' Changes for the WorseD. A Bite of China III' Explains its PurposesDThe organic food has gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthierand tastier. A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming fromconventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded.Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount ofsynthetic fertilizer(合成肥料) each year, and all that nitrogen(氮) enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the mouths of many of the world’s rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as producehealthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have alsowelcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices—refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides—are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% f ewer crops on average than conventional agriculture. This is definitely a downside of organic farming, especially when global population is still growing rapidly.In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found thatorganic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for majorgrain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world’s main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventionalagriculture, there are trade-offs(此消彼长) with each. So an ideal global agriculture systemmay borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventionalpractices.32. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. compare two types of farmingB. criticize conventional agricultureC. discuss the development of farmingD. argue for a realistic agriculture system33. According to the passage, conventional farming ___________.A. produces more crops with fewer fertilizersB. achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environmentC. offers a long-term solution to global demand for foodD. performs far better for each crop type than organic farming34. The author may agree with ___________.A. employing organic farming to plant riceB. adopting organic practices to grow potatoC. using conventional methods to plant cabbageD. applying conventional farming to growing apple35. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?A. B.C. D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C：Conclusion第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
