湖北省鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟2019届高三上学期期中考试英语试题

【校级联考】湖北省鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟2019届高三上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择These are some of Nicest Small Towns in America everyone should visit before they're 50.Jacksonville, OregonOne of the original major cities of the Gold Rush, Jacksonville was founded in the early 1850s by pioneers hoping to become rich. The entire town, was designated as a U.S.National Landmark in the 1960s, so it's definitely worth visiting, especially if you're a history buff. Jacksonville is home to over 100 National Historical buildings sprinkled throughout the community in the heart of Oregon's wine country and surrounded by gorgeous greenery, so there really is something for everyone.Traverse City, MichiganLocated on the shores of Lake Michigan, Traverse City is the best outdoor and water activities destination. In the warmer months, you'll find everyone hiking and biking the numerous trails and participating in the most popular recreational water sports kayaking, fishing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding. There's also golfing and bird watching for those who are looking for a more leisurely vacation. July is an especially busy month in Traverse City, as it's when hundreds of thousands of visitors come in for the National Cherry Festival. And the many farm-to-table dining options, breweries, wineries, and distilleries make it a destination worth visiting even in the winter.Sedona, ArizonaBesides its famous gorgeous red rock geography which is truly a jaw-dropping natural wonder, Sedona is known for its eclectic art scene, near-perfect weather, and of course, fantastic food and wine. Sedona truly has it all, whether you're looking for a girl's spa weekend, an outdoor family excursion-based trip, or a romantic getaway. There's really no bad time to visit because events like art festivals, concerts, and cusine tastings happen year-round thanks to the warm weather.Beaufort, South CarolinaIf you've ever watched the legendary movie Forrest Gump, you've already seen parts ofone of the best small towns in America: Beaufort, South Carolina. As the second-oldest city in South Carolina, Beaufort is known for its antebellum mansions and historic downtown district. Since Beaufort is located right on Port Royal Island, there are a ton of popular water sports like fishing and boating, in addition to wonderful, fresh seafood. The city is also known as one of America's best art towns thanks to its dozens of museums, film festivals, and art galleries. Bay Street is Beaufort's main road that borders the harbor where you'll find plenty of good restaurants and local shops.Port Townsena, WashingtonIt is one of Washington's greatest Victorian seaside towns and just one of three historic Victorian seaports in the entire United States. Situated on the northeastern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, you'll find a nature lover's paradise with the sea on one side and the Fort Worden Historical State Park on the other. In addition to the local shops, brightly colored mansions, and historic buildings that line the ocean side streets, Port Townsend puts on award-winning theater productions and hosts a variety of concerts, cultural events, and festivals all year round.1.If you are interested in history of America, which towns are your better choice ________. A.Beaufort, South Carolina and Sedona, ArizonaB.Jacksonville, Oregon and Traverse City, MichiganC.Sedona, Arizona and Port Townsend, WashingtonD.Jacksonville, Oregon and Beaufort, South Carolina2.According to the passage, in how many towns you can enjoy many tasty foods?A.5 B.4C.3 D.23.What is common to Traverse City, Sedona and Port Townsend?A.There are many outdoor water sports you can enjoy.B.You can probably have fun there whenever you go to these places.C.It's easy for you to taste good wine there.D.The weather is always warm in those towns.二、七选五The Art of Slow ReadingIf you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. 4.Theysuggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. 5.But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other.6.A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. 7.Personally, I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. 8.You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading.A.The Internet is probably part of the problem.B.Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.C.These are the two findings from the recent research projects.D.But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.E.Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.F.Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular.G.Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.三、完形填空It was the day before my daughter's birthday. I'd just collected her from preschool when she cautioned me to 9 the elderly person walking across the car park. l was struck by her 10 and had no idea how much she really 11 it.The following day--her birthday-we decided to buy cupcakes for her.

An exciting ride.BShoes can tell you a lot about a person.Winston was a firm believer in this.Although he had grown up hearing that eyes were "the windows to the soul," he was always quite confused by this expression.That day,Winston was seated in his regular spot,a bench in the train station,watching the usuals pass by.But he noticed something different.Two bare feet walked past.Strange.He wondered what kind of a man couldn't afford to buy himself shoes.A dangerous man,perhaps.Certainly not the kind of man Winston wanted to be anywhere near.He shrank to one side of the bench,turning his eyes downward.The man,however,took the space made free by Winston's shrinking."Sorry,it has been a rough day," the shoeless person offered apologetically,placing a plastic bag down."I had to sell my shoes.It's my little girl's birthday.All she wanted this year was a birthday cake with her name spelled out nice on the top.So that's what I went and got her." He seemed to be speaking to no one in particular.He gestured to the bag.It was a small cake with the name "Amelia"."It sure is pretty,ain't it?" the man said,noticing Winston's interest."I just had to get it for her.But I had to sell my shoes for it …it was worth it,of course."There was a crack in his voice like he was about to cry and Winston did something he rarely ever did;he looked up and met the stranger's eyes.They were kind eyes,sad,sweet and beautiful eyes,sharply contrasting his bare and dirty feet.While staring at the man,a sense of shame washed over Winston.Slowly,Winston reached down and slid off his white sneakers,exposing his socked feet to the cold of the station.He picked up the shoes and handed them to the stranger beside him.4.What did Winston use to believe?______A. Eyes are the windows to the soul.B. Clothes often show personality.C. A man can not be judged by his look.D. Seeing is believing.5.Why did Winston shrink to one side of the bench?______A.

Kind and humorous.B. Poor but selfless.C. Poor but optimistic.D. Kind and ambitious.7.What made Winston ashamed?______A. The awkward staring.B. The man's bare and dirty feet.C. His comfortable but boring life.D. His wrong judgement of the man.CPicture this:You're searching the Internet and come across a website with interesting articles.Some are news stories.Others only look like news stories.They're actually advertisements,or ads.How do you,the reader,tell the difference between a news story and an ad?In the past,it was easier.We got most of our information from newspapers.Big news stories appeared on the front page,and ads were boxed off and clearly labeled.But on the Internet,the two are often presented together.It can be hard to tell which is which.So a research group conducted a study in which students were shown the home page of a popular digital magazine and found out what was a news story and what was an ad.Most were great at identifying certain types of ads."It has a discount code, a big company logo,and the words limited time offer." one student said.So where did kids get stuck?Some ads seem identical to real news stories.They have headlines and contain information.But they may also include the words sponsored content.Sponsored means "paid for," and content refers to the information in the story."Sponsored content" is a way of saying that something is an ad.Just because something is sponsored doesn't necessarily mean it's false.It means someone paid money for it to appear.Companies pay so that readers will see their stories,buy their products,and like what the company stands for.As a reader,you have a right to know who's behind the information you're consuming.The Internet is a vast sea of information.To use it well,you not only have to know how to swim but also how to avoid the sharks.Learning to tell the difference between an ad and a news story is an important step to becoming Internet-smart.8.What does the underlined phrase "boxed off" in paragraph 2 probably mean?______A. SeparatedB. Hidden.C. Marked.D. Ignored.9.Which of the following ads are easy for students to identify?______A. Ads with headlines.B. Ads with certain labels.C. Ads similar to real new stories.D. Ads containing some real information.10.What do we know about "sponsored content"?______A. It is always false.B. It is a real news story.C. It is an ad in disguise.D. Readers have to pay for it.11.What is the best title of the passage?______A. Be Internet smart.B. Sponsored contents.C. Ads on the Internet.D. False news stories.DWhen Omar Yaghi was growing up in Jordan,his neighborhood received water for only about 5 hours once every 2 weeks.If Yaghi wasn't up at dawn to turn on the taps to store water,his family,their cow,and their garden had to go without.At a meeting last week,Yaghi,now a chemist at the University of California,reported that he and his colleagues have created a solar-powered device that could provide water for millions in water-stressed regions.At its heart is a porous crystalline(多孔晶体)material,known as a metal-organic framework (MOF),which acts like a sponge:It sucks water vapor out of air,and then releases it as liquid water.Yaghi and his colleagues first developed a zirconium(锆)-based MOF in 2014 that could harvest and release water.But at ﹩160 per kilogram,zirconium is too expensive for massive use.So,last year,his team came up with an alternative called MOF-303,based on aluminum,which costs just ﹩3 per kilogram,but the harvest was only about 0.2 liters per kilogram of MOF per day.In July 2019,Yaghi reported that his team has designed a new and far more productive water harvester.Supported by a solar panel to power a fan and heater,which speed the cycles,the new device produces up to 1.3 liters of water per kilogram of MOF per day from desert air.Yaghi expects further improvements to increase that number to 8 to 10 liters per day.And his company this fall plans to release a microwave-size device able to provide up to 8 liters per day this fall.The company promises an enlarged version next year that will produce 22,500 liters per day,enough to supply a small village.However,it needs to be shown that Yaghi's MOFs can be produced cheaply on a large scale.Each potential commercial MOF needs to prove itself in stability,efficiency,and life span.But if MOFs can pass those tests,they could offer a solution to some of the world's most pressing problems.12.Why is Omar Yaghi's childhood mentioned at the beginning?______A. To show how serious water problem is.B. To arouse reader's interest.C. To introduce the chemist.D. To lead in the topic.13.What is the problem of MOF-303?______A. It costs too much.B. It is low in efficiency.C. It is hard to operate.D. It can't last long.14.According to Yaghi,how much water will a large water harvester produce per day?______A. 1.3 liters.B. 22,500 liters.C. 10 liters.D. 8 liters.15.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?______A. Yaghi's MOFs are in great demand now.B. Yaghi's MOFs have already entered the market.C. Yaghi's MOFs may help solve water shortage.D. Mass production of Yaghi's MOFs is impossible.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Ways to Achieve Your GoalsPeople often set goals.Perhaps you want to save money,lose weight or learn a new skill.But then you get busy.(1) So,how can we find time to work on these larger life goals?(2) If a goal is too general,it may be hard to pursue let alone achieve it.Let's say your goal is to get in better physical shape.That's a fine idea-but psychologists might say as a goal,it is too general.Instead,you could sign up for a regular exercise class.Experts say writing down your goal is another important step.It gets the goal out of your brain and into the real world.Some psychologists suggest that writing a goal on paper is better than typing it on a device or saying it into your phone.Your brain receives information differently when it comes from handwriting.(3)(4) If someone else knows about your goals,you are held accountable for any progress or lack of progress.Your friend might ask,"So,how many pages of your novel have you written?" If you keep saying "none," you might feel badly.Now you feel a pressure to do it-the pressure of your friend's opinion of you.You should also break down big goals into small ones.(5) Some can be quite big.And for those bigger goals,experts suggest breaking them down into smaller ones.A.Not all goals are created equal.B.As you identify your goals,be specific.C.When setting a goal,make it achievable.D.Telling someone your goal is also helpful.E.If you write down your goal,you can post it somewhere as a reminder.F.Writing things down seems to say to the brain,"I am important! Remember me!" G.Before you know it,weeks,then months have gone by,and you are no closer to your goal.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

AThese are some of Nicest Small Towns in America everyone should visit before they’re50. Jacksonville,OregonOne of the original major cities of the Gold Rush,Jacksonville was founded in the early1850s by pioneers hoping to become rich.The entire town,was designated as a U.S.National Landmark in the1960s, so it’s definitely worth visiting,especially if you’re a history buff.Jacksonville is home to over100 National Historical buildings sprinkled throughout the community in the heart of Oregon’s wine country and surrounded by gorgeous greenery,so there really is something for everyone.Traverse City,MichiganLocated on the shores of Lake Michigan,Traverse City is the best outdoor and water activities destination.In the warmer months,you’ll find everyone hiking and biking the numerous trails and participating in the most popular recreational water sports—kayaking,fishing,windsurfing,and paddleboarding.There’s also golfing and bird watching for those who are looking for a more leisurely vacation.July is an especially busy month in Traverse City,as it’s when hundreds of thousands of visitors come in for the National Cherry Festival.And the many farm-to-table dining options,breweries,wineries, and distilleries make it a destination worth visiting even in the winter.Sedona,ArizonaBesides its famous gorgeous red rock geography—which is truly a jaw-dropping natural wonder, Sedona is known forits eclectic art scene,near-perfect weather,and of course,fantastic food and wine.Sedona truly has it all,whether you’re looking for a girl’s spa weekend,an outdoor family excursion-based trip,or a romantic getaway.There’s really no bad time to visit because events like art festivals,concerts,and cusine tastings happen year-round thanks to the warm weather.Beaufort,South CarolinaIf you’ve ever watched the legendary movie Forrest Gump,you’ve already seen parts of one of the best small towns in America:Beaufort,South Carolina.As the second-oldest city in South Carolina, Beaufort is known for its antebellum mansions and historic downtown district.Since Beaufort is located right on Port Royal Island,there are a ton of popular water sports like fishing and boating,in addition to wonderful,fresh seafood.The city is also known as one of America’s best art towns thanks to its dozens of museums,film festivals,and art galleries.Bay Street is Beaufort’s main road that borders the harbor where you’ll find plenty of good restaurants and local shops.BAn Uber self-driving car hit and killed a woman crossing the street in Arizona,U.S.,police said on Monday,marking the first death caused by an autonomous vehicle and a potential blow to the technology expected to transform transportation.The ride services company said it was delaying North American tests of its self-driving vehicles,which are currently going on in Arizona,Pittsburgh and Toronto.So-called robot cars,when fully developed by companies including Uber,are expected to thoroughly cut down on motor vehicle deaths and create billion-dollar businesses.But Monday’s accident highlighted (凸显)the possible challenges ahead for the promising technology as the cars face real-world situations involving real people.“This catastrophic accident highlights why we need to be exceptionally cautious when testing and applying autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads,”said Edward Markey,a member of the transportation committee,in a statement.“Elaine Herzberg,49,was walking her bicycle outside the crosswalk on a four-lane road in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe at about10p.m.MST Sunday when she was struck by the Uber vehicle traveling at about65kilometers per hour,”police said.The car was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel.U.S.federal safety officials were sending teams to investigate the crash.Canada’s transportation ministry in Ontario,where Uber conducts are being tested, also said it was reviewing the accident.“Uber and Waymo on Friday urged Congress to pass a law to speed the introduction of self-driving cars into the united states.However,some congressional(国会的)representatives have blocked thelegislation over safety concerns,and Monday’s death could hamper passage of the bill,”congressional assistants said Monday.24.According to the passage,which is the effect of the accident of the woman’s being killed?A.People will be cautious while crossing a road.B.The woman’s family will obtain a billion dollars.C.The process of transforming transportation will be affected.D.Self-driving vehicles will cut down on motor vehicles deaths.25.The underlined word“hamper”in Paragraph6most probably mean.A.make B.prevent C.start D.accelerate26.We can infer from the pasage that.A.Less than three places are doing tests of its self-driving vehicles now.B.The officials of the transportation ministry in Ontario were lookig into the crash.C.Elaine Herzberg was biking when she was hit by a self-driving car.D.We can’t be too careful when introducing autonomous vehicle technologies to public roads. 27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To arouse the public concerns over a self-driving safety.B.To remind car producers to be more careful when testing vehicles technology.C.To advise the Congress to pass a law to speed self-driving cars test in the US.D.To urge the US federal safety regulators to take measures to look into the accident.CLaws that would have ensured pupils from five to16received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’.An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法)but,extraordinarily,are not routinely shown how to open a bank account—let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England.Children from five to16should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say.And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children,Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called“wash-up”earlier this month—the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed.Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.As the Personal Finance Education Group(PFEG)points out,the good habits of young children do not last long.Over75%of seven-to11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to17,over half of them are in debt to family and friends.By this age,26%see a credit card or overdraft(透支)as a way of extending their spending power.PFEG predicts that these young people will“find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents'generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations.It does seem odd that—unless parents step in—oung people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university.In a recent poll of over8,000people,97%supported financial education in schools,while3%said it was a job for parents.28.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that.A.students have been taught to manage their financesB.pupils should not be taught to add up and subtractC.the author complains about the school educationD.laws on financial education have been effectively carried out29.The website and the consumer campaigner joined to.A.instruct the pupils to donate their pocket moneyB.promote the connection of schools and familiesC.ask the government to dismiss the parliamentD.appeal for the curriculum of financial education30.According to PFEG,.A.It’s not easy for them to get into financial trouble if the teenagers are taught to manage money.B.only half of the17–year-old teenagers spend their money as planned.C.parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids.D.it is not easy for people to keep good habits long.31.A poll is mentioned to.A.show the seriousness of the financial recessionB.stress the necessity of the curriculum reformC.make the readers aware of burden of the parentsD.illustrate some people are strongly against the proposalDAt18,Ashanthi DeSilva of suburban Cleveland is a living symbol of one of the great intellectual achievements of the20th century.Born with an extremely rare and usually fatal disorder that left her without a functioning immune system,she was treated beginning in1990with a revolutionary new therapy that sought to correct the defect at its very source,in the genes of her white blood cells.It worked.Although her last gene-therapy treatment was in1992,she is completely healthy with normal immune function, according to one of the doctors who treated her,W.French Anderson of the University of Southern California.Researchers have long dreamed of treating diseases from hemophilia to cancer by replacing mutant(变异的)genes with normal ones.And the dreaming may continue for decades more.“There will be a gene-based treatment for essentially every disease,”Anderson says,“within50years.”It's not entirely clear why medicine has been so slow to build on Anderson's early success.The National Institutes of Health budget office estimates it will spend$432million on gene-therapy research in 2005,and there is no shortage of promising leads.The therapeutic(有益健康的,有治疗性的)genes are usually delivered through viruses that don't cause human disease.At the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center,immunologist Carl June recently treated HIV patients with a gene intended to help their cells resist the infection.At Cornell University,researchers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。

BBA math and physics teacher from rural Kenya, who gives away 80% of his monthly income to help the poor, has won a $1 million prize.Peter Tabichi was awarded the Global Teacher Prize on Sunday. He teaches at a rural Kenyan school in Pwani Village, with only one computer, poor Internet and a student-teacher ratio (比率) of 58:1. Nearly all his students are from poor families, and almost a third of them have no parents or only one parent alive.Tabichi gets online educational content by visiting Internet cafes and uses it offline in class. He guided the school’s science club, in which students now compete in national and international competitions. The mathematical science team qualified to compete in the INTELInternational Science and Engineering Fair this year in Arizona. His students also won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to produce electricity.“This prize does not recognize me but recognizes this great continent’s young people,”Tabichi said. His students face many challenges, including food shortage, drug abuse, teenage pregnancies and young marriages. Yet at the Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School where Tabichi teaches, the number of students has doubled over three years and more of the students are going on to college.Tabichi was chosen from 10,000 applicants in 180 countries. He accepted the award from actor Hugh Jackman. The annual Global Teacher Prize was first launched in 2014 by Sunny Varkey, founder and chairman of GEMS Education.

DCIn spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 B.C., was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.28. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?A. They are shaped like jewel cases.B. They are heavily painted in red.C. They are favored as a form of art.D. They are valued by the rich.29. Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg painting?A. Because eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.B. Because eggs provide a source of protein in winter’s end.C. Because eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.D. Because eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.30. Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5?A. Delicateness.B. Technique.C. Fear.D. Anxiety.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Egg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols.B. Different cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.C. Ukrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.D. Egg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. DDImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals ( 踏板 ). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it?” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually- or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 millionprofessional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.32. What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless cars?A. More policemen would inspect the streets.B. People would never feel angry about the traffic.C. It would save local governments a lot of money.D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.33. How would the elderly and the disabled benefit from driverless cars?A. They would get rid of air pollution.B. They could enjoy greater mobility.C. They would suffer no road accidents.D. They could go anywhere they want.34. What would be the negative effect of driverless cars?A. The conflict between labor and management would sharpen.B. Many drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.C. Drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.D. The gap between various departments of society would be widened.35. What does the author suggest businesses and the government do?A. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.B. Keep pace with technological developments.C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices.【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A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。

湖北省鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题

湖北省鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解We can feel it in the air. Birds singing in the morning, sun streaming through the windows and flowers appearing all over. It can only mean one thing—spring has come.Our spring favoritesIf you’re planning a spring break to Denmark, take a look at the weather and plan ahead. Typical spring weather in Denmark can be cold, with highs of 5.5℃in March. Rain is common all year round, but don’t let that lower your spirits! Denmark is great to visit in spring and we’ve picked out some of our favourite things to see and do.Cherry blossomNothing says spring quite like the bright pink burst of a cherry blossom. Denmark is a great place to see it! One of our top spots is Bispebjerg Kirkegård in Copenhagen. Here, tree-lined streets are completely transformed by pink cherry blossom branches. Elsewhere in Copenhagen there is Langelinie Park which has a Sakura Festival every year, and the Botanical Gardens in the heart of the city. Outside Copenhagen, Fredens Torv in Aarhus is another blossom hot-spot.Get outside and hunt for giantsIf you’re planning a trip to our capital, why not rent a car and make a day of hunting for our mountainous friends? Six wooden giants made from recycled materials by artist Thomas Dambo can be found hiding around the suburbs of Copenhagen. A perfect trip for kids with a healthy sense of adventure.It’s theme park time!Tivoli Gardens will reopen its doors on the 8th of April.

But The Three-Body Problem was unlike anything Ken had ever read. A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity’s place in the universe. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging.When the English translation of The Three-Body Problem was published, it was described as a groundbreaking work of speculative fiction (推理小说). Liu Cixin, the author of the original work said, “Usually when Chinese literature gets translated into a foreign language, it tends to lose something. But I don’t think that happened to The Three-Body Problem. I think it gained something.”Ken was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. He was a bookworm. Books provided him with a refuge when he moved to Calif, and couldn’t speak English at the age of 11. After graduation from Harvard, he was a computer programmer, then a corporate lawyer, and later a sci-fi writer. Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Eventually, one of his works won three big awards.Ken never set out to be a translator, but a Chinese writer discovered Ken. Chen Qiufan liked reading Ken’s short stories online and kept in touch with Ken. One day, he asked Ken for his opinion on an English translation of one of his stories, which was from a translation company. Ken wasn’t impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken’s spirit.Ken’s approach to translation is unorthodox (非正统的). Strict loyalty to the sourcematerial is not his chief goal, nor is producing a smooth, Americanized version. “It’s not a word-by-word recreation,” he said. “It’s about how I show the overall effect.” Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them.4.Ken’s task of translating The Three-Body Problem is ______.A.demanding B.well-paid C.urgent D.eye-catching 5.What does Ken’s writing experience tell us?A.All life is an experiment.B.Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.C.Persistence will be eventually rewarded.D.Unintentional actions bring unexpected surprises.6.What impressed Chen Qiufan most about Ken?A.Ken wrote many short novels online.B.Ken gave his opinions on Chen’s novels.C.Ken took his work seriously and pursued perfection.D.Ken aimed to be a translator after graduation from Harvard.7.What is Ken’s translation style like?A.It follows every word exactly.B.It highlights cultural differences.C.It is influenced by American culture.D.It focuses on the fluency of language.Tamara Hinson examines why space exploration developments shouldn’t just be of interest to astronauts—they’re helping to change our holidays, too.In early May 2019 Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, successfully launched and landed the rocket Bezos plans to use for space tourism. In recent years, international space agencies and private space exploration companies have made huge leaps forward in their efforts to explore beyond planet Earth. This isn’t just good news for those of us with a burning desire to visit the Moon, see our planet from space or set up camp on Mars, and if you extremely like travelling, you’ll highly likely eventually benefit from developments relating to space exploration. By travelling in a spaceship sent into orbit, an eight-hour flight in a narrow airplane could become a 30-minute hop, while the entire planet could be circumnavigated in just 90 minutes.Recent developments suggest such journeys might soon become reality, largely thanks tothe number of privately-funded space exploration adventures, like Musk’s SpaceX.“It’s not just about national space agencies any more and commercial companies all over the world are doing their own thing,” points out Bresnik, who admits to being surprised at the developments made in a relatively short space of time. “In the 1900s we had the first flight, and suddenly all these other people were building airplanes. And now, just over 100 years later, there are generations who think it’s perfectly normal to simply book a flight on their iPhone. And we’re at the same point with space flight; you’ll soon be able to go to space without being a professional astronaut.”All of these developments and the research and testing which comes before hand serve another purpose. They make getting to Mars— the little red dot our descendants (后代) could very well end up living on much easier, although there are still various obstacles. Bresnik states that he suspects a trip into space will soon be as simple as a trip to Disneyland even if the famous theme park has certain advantages, such as more reliable supplies of food, water, and oxygen, believing we’re close to overcoming all obstacles and pointing out that one potential solution would be to take seeds instead of food, and use regenerative techniques to reclaim water.8.What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and 3?A.Bezos plans to use the rocket for space exploration.B.Space tourism lovers have set up camp on the Mars.C.Travelling by spaceship might largely shorten the travelling time.D.Musk’s SpaceX alone makes such space journeys become a reality.9.Why is Bresnik surprised?A.Space exploration has made rapid progress.B.A trip into space will cost as much as an iPhone.C.People can go to space without being trained nowadays.D.Many commercial companies play a role in space tourism.10.Which statement may Bresnik agree with?A.A trip into space is as simple as a trip to Disneyland.B.Growing crops might solve food problems in space.C.Space tourism can provide reliable food, water and oxygen.D.Living on the Mars is difficult for our descendants in the future.11.Which of the following can be the best title?A.Let’s Go to Mars for a Holiday!B.Are You Ready for Space Tourism?C.Space Exploration Develops Rapidly.D.Private Companies Contributes to Space Tourism.A “superhero” moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas, researchers have found. Scientists from the conservation group Moors for the Future Partnership who conducted a six-year study into sphagnum moss (泥炭藓) found that planting it in upland areas could dramatically slow the rate at which water runs off the hillsides, preventing river catchments (集水处) being overwhelmed with water downstream.The research found that the sphagnum moss reduced peak streamflow — the maximum amount of water that enters a river after a storm — by 65%. The moss was also found to increase lag time — the time taken between rainfall and the rainwater entering the river system — by 680%.More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants–which are about the size of a 5 0p coin — were planted on Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District national park, as part of an “outdoor laboratory” for researchers to observe.Before the moss was planted on Kinder, the hill surface consisted of bare peat, which meant that after a storm rainwater would wash straight off, leaving communities in downstream valleys more vulnerable to flooding.The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits. The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water, which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment more gradually to prevent it from being overwhelmed. Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers of peat underneath it, and can accumulate over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage.Tom Spencer, a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership hailed the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment. He said sphagnum planting could be “a powerful tool in minimising the risk and severity of flooding”, which would have “far-reaching benefits for communities downstream”.12.What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A.River catchments need to be expanded.B.Sphagnum moss can ease the impact of flood.C.More trees should be planted to prevent flood.D.Upland areas are not safe to live in during flood.13.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Impressive functions of sphagnum moss.B.Serious problems caused by rainwater.C.Suggested ways to plant sphagnum moss.D.Future possibilities of sphagnum moss.14.What does the underlined word “hailed” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.spoke highly of B.lost sight of C.paid attention to D.made remarks on15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To explain the real causes of flood.B.To share a way of planting sphagnum moss.C.To stress the flood risks of some communities.D.To introduce the ecological benefits of a plant.二、七选五The question “Who am I?” can bring on a series of thoughts, emotions, and feelings, butis more common than you may think, and we’re here to help you find all the answers you’re looking for.Be honest with yourself to learn about all aspects of your personality.Knowing yourself means recognizing different parts of your identity, personality, and being. The goal is not to criticize yourself but to acknowledge all sides of your personality. Open up to the possibility of learning new things about yourself. Pay attention to the things that make you feel uncomfortable. These emotional signals can tell you if you’re trying to avoid something. 17 ? If so, how can you overcome it? For example, if you don’t like to look in the mirror, ask yourself why.18 .Thinking over difficult personal questions and analyzing your answer can help you learnmore about your interests, fears, and aspirations. Use what you learn from this activity to spend more time doing what you love and overcoming your fears. See how you respond to these questions: What do I love doing? What are my dreams? What do I want my legacy to be?19 ?Incorporate mindfulness into your day to live in the present moment.Mindfulness is the act of experiencing the present moment to help you understand your thoughts, actions, and motives. 20 . Practicing mindfulness can help you push aside distractions and check in with yourself even in the most hectic of times. Check out these ways you can be more mindful: Pause and observe the world around you. Avoid eating meals at your computer or TV and focus on how the food tastes and feels in your mouth. Take a walk and notice how the ground feels beneath your feet, where the sun is in the sky, and if birds are chirping.A.What is my biggest criticism of myselfB.Are these emotions positive or negativeC.Are you insecure about that characteristicD.Getting to know yourself is a life-long journeyE.Question your hobbies to discover how you view yourselfF.Ask thoughtful questions about yourself and answer honestlyG.It’s a state of attention to yourself and the world you’re experiencing三、完形填空In 2022, just before my 32th birthday was approaching, the Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for a holiday. My mum, regarded as a fearless woman,Soon, our relationship became tense. Weekly phone calls were too rushed and careless to ever mature into real 29 . The 30 led to arguments instead. To me, her old-fashioned advice annoyed me, forcing me to 31 information or even lie intentionally.

2019-2020学年鄂南高级中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案

2019-2020学年鄂南高级中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFour Best Cities to Visit in WinterCold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination:Prague,Czech RepublicWith its snow-capped spires and winding streets,Pragueis a fairytale city that remains ly tourist-free in winter.The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center, adding a romantic color1 to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.Salzburg,AustriaWith its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was performed for the first time in thechurchofOberndorfon the border ofSalzburgon Christmas Eve in 1818.The city's main market is held in the shadow ofSalzburg'sHohensalzburgCastle, but the one held inMirabell Squareis especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.Tromso,NorwayTromso is widely regarded asNorway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There are several attractive museums, including thePolarMuseum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and theTromsoMuseum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.Amsterdam,NetherlandsIn winter,Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.1. What can you do inPrague?A. Enjoy the fascinating architecture.B. Taste local food halusky.C. Appreciate Sami exhibitions.D. Watch a circus performance.2. Where was “Silent Night” first performed?A. In thechurchofOberndorf.B. InHohensalzburgCastle.C. InMirabell Square.D. In the Polar Museum.3. Which city will you choose if you want to see the northern lights?A. Prague.B. Salzburg.C. Tromso.D.Amsterdam.BWhen 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”4. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The skateboard.B. His hobby.C. His ability.D. The time.5. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz?A. To realize his childhood dream.B. To help plus-size people lose weight.C. To fight for the equal right for fat people.D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports.6. Which word can best describe Duran?A. Generous.B. Inspiring.C. Adaptable.D. Talented.7. Which is most likely Duran's belief?A. Everyone has a gift for sports.B.No one is too fat to enjoy sports.C. Fat people do deserve social concern.D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people.CIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favoritetunes on America's cleaning playlist.8. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.9. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.10. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.11. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.DThe measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases the need for plastic protective equipment. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. Millions of tons of greenhouse gas are released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome. Less than 10% of the plastic produced has been recycled. Even more of it has been burned. But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland, and it is increasingly polluting the environment. We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bags and bits for food. But microplastic is even more worrisome. Plastic doesn't break down biologically but instead breaks down into tiny particles(a very small piece of something), which have been found in every corner of theplanet, on land and in the air, in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires. Instead, they have viewed single-use plastic—which makes up about 40% of plastic used each year—as a litter issue that can be solved through better recycling and waste management. That attitude must change because the recent global breakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been, nor ever will be, able to keep up with plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reduction—it was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged. The state also came close to passing an act which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of 75% by 2032. California, though influential, can't solve this crisis alone. The US has long been producing a great amount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.12. Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A. To show the harm of plasticB. To warn of the climate change.C. To call for the development of fossil fuels.D. To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.13. What's the author's attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A. Favorable.B. Tolerant.C. Curious.D. Opposed.14. What's California's role in reducing plastic waste?A. A pioneer.B. A failure.C. An objector.D. A predictor.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Microplastic Products Are HarmfulB. Waste Recycling Is an Urgent MatterC. Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up CallD. Global Environmental Disasters Are Increasing第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年鄂南高级中学高三英语第一次联考试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AOn Friday morning when 53-year-old Thong Pham broke into the house through the unlocked back door, he took a steak knife from the kitchen.It was dark, and the family didn't know what Marley was barking (吠) at. Taylor, Amber and their girls Finley, 6,and Sadie, 4, soon woke up and came downstairs, too. “Well, it was dark so we couldn't see anything, only could hear Marley,” Amber recalled, saying her husband then went for the lights. “And once he turned the hall light on, we realized that the guy was holed up in the corner trying to hide.”“So I think he got to the front door and realized he couldn't get out, and by that point in time, Marley's got him cornered,”Taylorsaid. Pham slashed (砍) both Marley and Taylor, and blood went everywhere. Taylor shared a video summary to his Facebook page, where he said Marley was stabbed (刺) up to six times, mostly around the head and neck area. “And as I pulled back, blood shot out of my arm,”Taylorcontinued. “She got him pretty good and I got him pretty good in the face.”“But it was really hard because I was trying to make sure that my husband wasn't going to die,” Amber explained, adding that she was trying to protect their two girls. “When he realized that the two girls were in the house, that's when he kind of backed up and started running. "Taylorexpressed gratitude to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. And the family is thankful for their dog Marley.“She's our hero,” Amber said. “If it hadn't been for her, that guy could have gone in the...he could have gone to their rooms or something.”Tayloradded, “Yeah, I mean, the story plays out very differently if Marley's not there.”1.

Pham dug a hole in the corner.B. Marley was injured but bit back.C. Taylor had a backup from neighbors.D. Amber fought back to protect her girls.3. What doesTaylormainly express on his Facebook?A. Forgiveness.B. Concern.C. Anger.D. Appreciation.BOn World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8, the US National Geographic Society announced it would recognize the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and PacificOceans—which are defined by the continents that bound them—the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current(南极洋流). According to the National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarcticaout to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度)."Encircled by the powerfully swift ACC, it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them," Sylvia Earle, a marine biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it's unlike any other. "Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so charming about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more awful and the landscapes morecaptivatingthan anywhere else you can go," Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told National Geographic.National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that."We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean," Alex Tait, National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. "So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it's an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there's a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica."4. Why is the Southern Ocean different from other oceans?A. It has never been explored before.B. It surrounds the Antarctic all around.C. It is enclosed by the fast-flowing ACC.D. It has ecologically distinct environment.5. What does the underlined word "captivating" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Strange.B. Unusual.C. Attractive.D. Informal.6. What does the National Geographic think of the Southern Ocean?A. It will be instructive for students.B. It will promote tourism development.C. It will encourage public to treasure water.D. It will draw scientists to study in the Antarctic.7. What is the best title for the text?A. World Oceans DayB. Revised Antarctic MapsC. Adding a New OceanD. New Discovery under the SeaCIn recent years,people have been focusing on the quality of food that children are fed in schools. Former First Lady Michelle Obama worked hard to make school lunches healthier, resulting in new menus that featured less fat and salt, more fruits and vegetables.But high-quality nutrients count for little when there is no time to eat them. Amy Ettinger reports, "There is no national standard on how much time kids get to eat that meal. " And with schools being occupied with test scores, teachers are using every available minute for lesson time, which often leaves kids without enough eating time.This is a problem because the length of the school lunch period is a key factor (因素) in how much nutrition children actually gel. Research has found that having less than 20 minutes for lunch results in children consuming much less of their lunch than those with more than 20 minutes.This is really terrible. For many low-income kids, that cafeteria lunch can represent half their daily energy intake. There's also another terrible message that it's acceptable to wolf down food as fast as possible before rushing off to your next class. Cafeteria time should be a chance to interact with friends, to learn important social skills, to observe and share varieties of food. It should be a break in day, a chance to relax before heading into the afternoon.As Ettinger explains,some parents are hoping the National Parent Teacher Association will address this issue. This, in turn, would help parents push their kids' schools for better lunch time standards. Meanwhile, if you have a kid in this situation, you can help by packing a healthy lunch to spare them the cafeteria lineup. Make the foodseasy to eat, provide non-messy snacks that can be eaten in class, put great effort into serving a hearty breakfast, and sit down as a family for dinner whenever possible.8. What did Michelle Obama make efforts to improve?A. The quality of school lunches.B. The performance of school kids.C. The school lunch time kids have.D. The eating habits of school kids.9. What happens to children in American schools?A. They are occupied with many tests.B. They fail to get along with each other.C. They consume more meat than before.D. They have less lunch time than before.10. How are low-income kids influenced by the problem at school?A. They can't go to classes on time.B. They can't have enough energy.C. They can't share different kinds of food.D. They can't hold a positive attitude toward life.11.What can parents do to solve the problem?A. Prepare a better lunch for their kids.B. Stop their kids going to the cafeteria.C. Force schools to make adjustments to lunch.D. Guide their kids on how to pack their own lunch.DCigarettes aren’t just harmful when they’re being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out,an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.“I was ly surprised,” since environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). “The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter.”To measure emissions (排放) from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends weresealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.After setting the room’s temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days ata time, especially in the heat.12. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends?A They contain little nicotine.B. They produce no nicotine five days later.C. They give off nicotine for days.D. They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.13. What do Poppendieck’s words suggest?A. First-hand smoking does most harm.B. The findings are within his expectation.C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors.D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.14. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days?A. Unclear.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D. Puzzled.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful ChemicalsB. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being SmokedC. Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends’ HarmD. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the Heat第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The government said the state of emergency — set to last for about two weeks— would be “short and powerful”. Under the measures, bars will be required to close and big sporting events will be held without audience. The government has insisted that the Olympics will go ahead in July.Prime minister Yoshihide Suga announced the measures on Friday, saying they would begin on Sunday and remain in place until 11 May. In addition to to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo will be affected. It has marked the third state of emergency in japan since the pandemic began. “I sincerely apologize for causing trouble for many people again,” he said. “It is feared that infection in major cities will spread across the whole country if we take no measures.”Under the rules, major facilities like department stores will close, as well as restaurants, bars, and KTV rooms serving alcohol. Restaurants that do not serve alcohol are being told to close early, and companies are being askedto make arrangements for people to work remotely. Schools will remain open. Besides, the emergency measurescoincide withthe country’s “Golden Week” holiday, which runs from late April to the first week of May and is the busiest travel period of the year.
