2019学年度第二学期期末考试高二英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（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AStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______.A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and GermanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classm ates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted”students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author did n’t finish the reading in class because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take the task home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from school6.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging7.What is the main idea of the passageA. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here. If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a televisionanytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.8. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.9. What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.10. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom11. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note--- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk nextdelivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.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，选项中有两项为多余选项How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like?

Is there a type of book, or a specific book you would like to try? 16 Insert your hobbies into your library catalog(目录) sea rch and set it to, “Keyword.” By doing this, you will find books that you can read.Search your house.17 Maybe you forgot one, or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books. Also by searching your house, you can find books for yourself, and it won’t even cost you any money.Ask someone to recommend a good book.You can ask your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher to recommend goodbooks.

2019学年度下学期高二学年期末考试英语试题（时间：120分钟总分：150分只交答题纸）第Ⅰ卷（选择题：共70分）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)AMeganI’m base in Bahrain, and I have a small apartment there. The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people’s rubbish. I certainly don’t feel very excited about going home at two in the morning.FrankI enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it’s great because I’m just doing what I like. GemmaI love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging. As for my job –you really can’t be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practice for hours before we get it right. When we’re on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.RaoulMost people think I spend my day chopping (切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it’s not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss – he shouts at me all the time – even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I’m hoping to find a new job soon because I don’t get much time off.1. What’ s the biggest attractions of Megan’s job?A. The long holidaysB. Handing out food to people.C. Getting to know different peopleD. The pleasant working environment2. Who love working with words?A. MeganB. FrankC. GemmaD. Raoul3. What problem does Raoul face?A. His strict boss.B. He is careless.C. His terrible cooking.D. He fails to get enough sleepBAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.4. The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. he had to live in a dark and silent worldB. a terrible traffic accident happened to himC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him5. What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Lying on the ground.B. Driving a car.C. Taking a walk with a stick.D. Sheltering from the rain undera tree.6. We can learn from the text that ________.A. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recoveryD. there was no correct explanation for Robert’s recovery7. What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. What a Sudden ShockB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. An Unforgettable ExperienceD. A Terrible Electrical AccidentCA popular Chinese mobile game, “King of Glory,” has been criticized for promoting an inaccurate representation (展现) of ancient Chinese history.State media Guangming Daily published an article on March 28 blaming the game for “distorting history.” The article claime d that, despite using many famous names from Chinese history, "King of Glory" completely misrepresented the figures’ true stories and status.According to the newspaper, famous poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty became an assassin ( 刺客 ),while noted doctor Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn Period was cast as an expert on poison. More than 60 characters in the game were characters from history, including many from the classic novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”“They (the characters in the game) not onl y travel through time and space to fight together, but also take on historical figures’ names with no connection at all to their experiences in history,” the newspaper argued, adding that thischaracteristic could easily confuse young players. Some 54 perc ent of the game’s players are aged between 11 and 20, the newspaper added.“King of Glory” is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game designed by Tencent Games. It was launched in 2015. In 2016, the total profit of the game reached nearly 7 billion RMB, some 18 percent of the total profit for mobile gaming in China.The Guangming Daily article was met with significant support and approval. Some people pointed to online search results for the historical figures, which increasingly provide information about the characters in the game rather than the real historical figures.However, some hit back at the criticism, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that “King of Glory” doesn’t claim to be set in any specific historical period.“I am awar e that there are many young players, some even in primary school. Some might be affected by the game in certain ways, but it can do a lot of good if students become interested in the characters and do more research to that end,” one “King of Glory” player told the People’s Daily Online.8. What does the underlined word “distorting” in paragragh 2 mean?A. Reflecting.B. Recording.C. Twisting.D. Creating.9. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. About half of the game’s players range from11 to 20 in age.B. Many young players become interested in the historical figures through the game.C. You may get information about the assassin Li Bai in the game through a search engine.D. In 2016 the total profit for mobile games in China amounts to about 39 billion RMB.10. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain why the game is popular.B. To convince people that the game is distorting history.C. To introduce the game to the public.D. To present that the game has become a target for criticism.11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the game?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Favorable.D. Disapproving.DGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.12. The king of France and England in the 16th century closed bath house because_______. .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease13. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?A. Afraid.B. Curious.C. Approving.D. Uninterested.14. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.15. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.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。

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AChinese New Year is approaching and preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns , previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors.

He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but th e waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people,” he said thoughtfully. “Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others’ lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle to be sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy(嫉妒) coming from your circle also spread to other circles. You are responsibl e for both.”That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord(不和谐) can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict, doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.4. The author’s grandfather took him/her to the fish pond to_______.A. go fishing togetherB. teach him/her a meaningful truth of lifeC. play a fun game with the authorD. correct his/her wrong doings5.What does the author want to say by telling us his unforgettable experience?A. We cannot control our feelings that disturb othersB. We shouldn’t keep in touch with other people.C. What we think and do can influence others’ lives.D. It’s difficult to keep a good relationship with other people.6. The author would probably agree that we should________.A. send our anger to other peopleB. share our happiness with other peopleC. complain about the misfortune in our livesD. hide our feelings and never express them to others7.What is the purpose of writing this passage?A. To teach the young people how to hold their feelings and thoughts.B. To indicate the importance of an unforgettable experience.C. To recall the experience of fishing.D. To tell people to create beauty and harmony.CMusic is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different tastes, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, comforting, energizing, and many more.There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better but it’s just their own opinions.Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. The lyrics (歌词) sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives. Music can also serve as a motivation for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open-minded because they’re exposed to different people like the artists.People can use music to express themselves in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art.You can usually tell how someone feels by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts and shows to show what their interests and likings are and you see how many people have similar likings as you. 8．What can we know about music according to the first paragraph?A. All people like listening to music in some way.B. Preference for music varies from person to person.C. There are four kinds of impact music can bring about.D. Different types of music have the same impact on people.9．People are likely to become friends because of ________.A. the same taste of musicB. the good impact of musicC. the attraction of different ideasD. the arguments about music style10．Music can serve as a motivation for new ideas by ________.A. giving listeners controversial lyricsB. setting up role models like the artistsC. opening listeners’ mind to new thoughtsD. impressing listeners with familiar images11．What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The music you listen to shows how you feel.B. Music expresses oneself better than behavior.C. The music one listens to determines his or her feelings.D. Music is tool to make different people become friends.Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increasesin blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.12. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It can do harm to people's health.C. It is usually practiced deliberately.D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.13. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______.A. affect your blood pressure.B. resist gravity effectively.C. lead to heart attacks easily.D. improve the function of legs.14. In the t hird paragraph “pins and needles” probably means______.A. being highly flexible.B. being a little tired.C. serious muscle injuries.D. slight sharp pains.15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To compare common habitsB. To evaluate effects of an experiment.C. To give readers some advice.D. To introduce research methods.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。

ABig Space Events To Put In Your Calendar For2022MAY—CHINA*SPACE STATION GETS BIGGERMay will see the launch of a new module for the Tiangong space station,China's"Palace in the sky”.Its first core module,Tianhe was launched last April.The next module will be Wentian,a laboratory expected to launch between May and June.It will also serve as a backup core module and the place where future spacewalks from the taikonauts will take place.It will be followed by a second laboratory module,Mengtian,in August-September. JUNE—INDIA'S SPACECRAFT TAKES ITS FIRST FLIGHTISRO,the Indian Space Research Organization,has announced that Gaganyaan（which translates to Sky Craft）will have is first unscrewed fight in June.The craft is panned to be a key vehicle in the Indian Human Spaceflight Program and,all going well in this test;it will be followed by a crewed test next year.JULY—RUSSIA EYES THE MOONAGAINRussia's Luna program had many successes with landers,rovers,and even sample returns,and Luna25is expected to follow in that tradition according to Russian Space Agency,Roscomos.The mission this fine is just a lander expected to touch down near the Lunar South Pole with instruments designed to study the soil.The location might be a possible area of interest for a permanent base on the Moon.AUGUST—MORE LUNAR MISSIONSAugust will see the launch of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter,a panned lunar orbiter by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute（KARI）.This will be the first Korean Lunar Mission,a technology demonstration for KARI.21.Which country will carry out multiple space tasks this year?A.China.B.India.C.Russia.D.Korea22.What do we know about Luna25?A.It will operate in low lunar orbit.B.It will take a land on the Moon.C.It will serve as a permanent base.D.It will take its first crewed flight.23.When is the first Korean Lunar Mission scheduled?A.In May.B.In June.C.In July.D.In AugustBA recent story in the Wall Street Journal newspaper looked at students who went to celebrated universities such asColumbia and New York University,for advanced degrees in subjects like art,film and even social work.Many of the students said they learned a lot.However,when they graduated,they were deep in debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their loans.Students said they spoke with Columbia about the high cost of advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable cation experts say the school is very wealthy,with large funds.The University,however, prefers to ask the students to pay the full cost.Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America,a public policy research center.He called master's degrees"a scam“in a conversation."Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super problematic,he said.Castillo is an actor in New York City.He earned an MFA from The Actors Studio in New York City.Was his MFA worth the cost?"I do think it was worth it.I don't put a price tag on my education or my experience.I think it's sort of unfortunate that so many people take education for granted.Castillo said students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they are doing it because they value the education,not because they want money or to be famous.Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City.She attended graduate school both at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of Lowa.Arts graduate programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with whom they can work throughout their careers.For school to be of value,students need to remember why they started making art in the beginning."It's just for the pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way.”24.What's the problem for students in famous universities for art advanced degrees?A.They can't take loans.B.They can't find any work.C.They may be heavily in debt.D.They may drop out of university.25.What does the underlined word"scam"in paragraph3mean?A.Way.B.Trick.C.Skill.D.Game.26.What does Castillo think of his MFA?A.He thinks highly of it.B.It's a waste of money.C.He takes it for granted.D.It brings him fame and money.27.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Arts graduate programs ensure a promising future.B.Students had better consider whether they can afford the fee.C.Arts graduate programs introduce celebrity artists to their students.D.Students should stick to their original purposes while learning.COxygen,I'm sure you'd agree,is pretty important for life on Earth.We breathe it in,our cells survive on it and without it,we hardly live.Basically,all multicellular life on Earth evolved over millions of years to make use of oxygen.But take a deep breath,because we need to talk about Henneguya salminicola,a tiny parasite（寄生虫）containing fewer than100cells that lives within the muscle tissue of salmon,a large fish with silver skin and pink flesh. The strange-looking parasite does not busy itself with such small matters as breathing oxygen.Nope,it seems that H.salminicola is the first multicellular animal we've found that survives without the stuff.“Aerobic respiration（有氧口乎吸）was thought to be commonly found in animals,but now we confirmed that this is not the case,“said Dorothee Huchon,a zoologist at Tel Aviv University in Israel,in a press release.Huchon and a team of international researchers examined and sequenced（排序）all of.salmincola’s genes in their study,published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.They found that the parasite,which is closely related to jellyfish,lacks the DNA machinery necessary to“breathe'Mt doesn't'have mitochondria（线粒体）,often called the"powerhouse"of the cell,because they use oxygen to make energy.It's like a little factory inside almost all cells,and DNA detectives can find mitochondrial genes during sequencing.The discovery came as something of an accident for the team,who were examining the genome(the complete set of genes)of the species.When they went searching for the mitochondrial genes,they came up empty-handed."Our discovery shows that evolution can go in strange directions,Huchon said."Aerobic respiration is a major source of energy,and yet we found an animal that gave up this important pathway.”Some single-celled life forms have evolved the ability to survive without oxygen and do not have mitochondria, either.Plenty of bacteria can exist without oxygen at all.Instead of oxygen,they get their energy from fernentation(发酵)or use other molecules like iron.But how H.salminicola produces energy is still unclear.Huchon suggests it could draw oxygen from the cells in salmon or it could have evolved similar methods to those of single-celled organisms which scientists have documented in the past.28.What can we learn about Henneguya salminicola?A.It is an animal consisting of a cell.B.It can still survive without oxygen.C.It takes on a normal appearance.D.It has a longer life span than salmon.29.What is the main function of mitochondria?A.To make cells breathe fast.B.To help to produce oxygen.C.To provide energy for cells.D.To help cells absorb oxygen.30.How did Huchon probably feel about the discovery?A.Interested.B.Satisfied.C.Astonished.D.Frightened.31.What could be the most suitable title for the text?A.The natural evolution of animal cellsB.Different kinds of life forms on earthC.A research on single-celled organismsD.A creature that doesn't breathe oxygenDIn these days of information overload,it's never been more important to keep track of and back up your data.The problem is that digital storage doesn't last forever.Hard disks fail,phones tumble out of our pockets,and tablets are beaten up by grandchildren.This is why it is important to think carefully about your back-up strategy.Online back-ups are easier,arguably.All of the big tech players have online storage you can treat like your ownhard disk.Google has Google Drive,Apple has iCloud,and Microsoft has OneDrive.All you have to do is download the app for service you want to use to your computer or phone.Most Cloud storage apps even have the option to automatically upload your camera roll,so when you take new photos they511be sent up to the Cloud as soon as you connect to wifi.Offline storage is slightly trickier.Looking after Cloud files is Google5s or Microsoft's problem.But offline, figuring out what equipment to buy is something you need to figure out for yourself.The most obvious option is to buy a portable USB hard drive.Just plug it into your computer and you can copy important files to it.This is definitely a better approach than doing absolutely nothing,but there5s still a problem:if your back-up drive fails,you still lose everything.This is why if you5re serious about backing up-and you should be-I recommend the slightly pricier option of getting a device known as a NAS,which stands for""Network Attached Storage“and is basically a mini computer that you can plug directly into your wifi router.Some companies have devices available that contain only one hard drive, but I recommend buying one with space for at least two.This is because on most NAS models,two hard disks can work together to keep your files safe.Instead of appearing as separate hard disks,they can be combined using a feature called"RAID”,standing for"Redundant Array of Independent Disks”and it basically tells your NAS to treat the two hard disks inside it as though they were one drive,with the contents mirrored on both drives automatically.It means that if one of the two drives goes kaput,you still have a perfectly functioning mirror copy with all your files safely stored on it.The only thing considered undesirable is that a decent NAS tends to start at around£300,and that excludes the price of the hard disks themselves.But before you scream in horror,remember-this is for your most important files, to keep them safe.So,as annoying as it might sound,this is important.Just as you wouldn't leave your home with a risky boiler or drive a car with faulty brakes.It5s time to do the boring but important thing and spend the money to get your data backed up-before it is too late.32.Why are online back-ups easier?A.Because all of the big tech companies offer online storage free of charge.B.Because you just need to download the Cloud storage app for service you want.C.Because it is the service providers that are to blame if your Cloud files get lost.D.Because the data of your digital device is uploaded to the

Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters- a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina's government protested the family's detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren't safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky's father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. Whenthe agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he'd learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky's cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France's Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. "I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths- I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color."4.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?A.To provide an apartment building for painters .B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.C.To make fake identities for all families.D.To train students to operate laboratories.5.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?A.

Courageous and helpful.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.COn January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance Wa（r 抗击新型肺炎战），the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.8.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because .A.children may be infected by virusB.they don’t like the idea of online learningC.children’s study may be affectedD.parents have no time to look after children9.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A.To keep playing online games.B.To keep touching different people.C.To do some physical exercise outside.D.To teach children about health knowledge.10.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.planB. stopC. growthD. change11.What’s the best title for this passage?A.ASpecial Way to Learn at HomeB.ANew War with a New ChangeC.AWay to Keep Mentally HealthyD.AMethod to Make Parents UnworriedDMoney might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.After harvesting, each piece is planned( 刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.12.The first paragraph mainly serves as .A. commentB. praiseC. introductionD. background13.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture .A. while serving as a gardenerB. while relaxing at homeC. w hile studying in CaliforniaD. when he grow up14.What plays a key role in growing furniture?A. Rich imagination.B. Perfect d esign.C. Large irrigation.D. Hard work.15.The passage is probably taken from .A. an essayB. a reportC. a novelD. a diary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。
江苏省徐州市第一中学2019-2020学年高二下学期第三次检测试卷英语试题 Word版含答案
徐州一中2019～2020学年度高二寒假第三次检测英语第一部分:阅读理解(共两节，满分50 分)第一节(共15 个小题:每小题 2.5 分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASeventy-three-year-old Gary selected his food in Value Mart more carefully than NASA chose its candidates for the space shuttle. Skim milk was $2.99, on sale from $3.49; white bread, 89 cents with a discount; table salt, 99 cents, 20 cents off the regular price. Leaving the cashier (收银员), he estimated that he had saved 80 cents today. He was pleased that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the cold wind reminded him of his gloves. “Now where are they?” Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. The worried man made a thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.Old Gary had bought the black gloves at a 25% discount ten years ago. His quick decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as poorer passengers stared at him enviously. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.Gary re-entered the store with long steps. He followed the same route he had walked before. There were all open passages and it did not take long to be convinced that the gloves were not in sight.“Society has changed, people have changed”, he murmured to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not anymore!”On his way out, he went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves. She asked him what color they were, and when he said “black”, there came a disappointing answer. He took his time now, finally walking out of the store.Back home, Gary was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves. He was very upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.After a month, Gary decided to buy another leather pair. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “What color are they?” the woman in the office asked again. “Black,” he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men’s leather gloves. “Are they?”“Yes! Those are mine!” Gary exclaimed, his eyes glowing with joy.1. According to the passage, Gary thought his buying the gloves to be ______.A. unnecessaryB. hot-headedC. wiseD. adventurous2. What can we infer about Gary?A. He is particular about food.B. He is not well off.C. He holds a pessimistic attitude towards life.D. He doesn’t get along well with his neighborhood.3. In Gary’s opinion, why couldn’t he recover his gloves at first?A. He was not careful enough.B. The cashier forgot to return his gloves.C. A customer took his gloves by mistake.D. Someone picked up his gloves and kept them on purpose.BRole-Playing in Child DevelopmentPlaying is a key component in the learning process for virtually all of the children. There are various ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-playing. This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretends to be another person.Experts on child development believe that role-playing can increase the connections in children’s brains that help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning. When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task, and create plans to act out a story. These activities enable children to develop their oral languageskills. They become able to organize others and to give directions.Children’s social skills can also be developed. When engaged in group activities, children have different roles. Some are leaders while others are followers. At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one another, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong arguments or disagreements as well. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, begin to understand things from another person’s point of view.Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters children’s imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers or perform various tasks around their homes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Sometimes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or imitate(模仿)real-life situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is the performing of stories they read in books, which is also very common when they role-play.Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional(情感的) pain, such as the fear they face when going to school for the first time or making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situations like these beforehand, the first that they experience when doing these actions in reality frequently lessons. For this reason, experts encourage parents to allow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to help their children master their fears.Role-playing can benefit children in many ways. There is no activity for which young children are better prepared than fantasy play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dangers are only pretend.4. From the author’s description in Paragraph 4, we learn that children often ______. .A. act out the activities that their parents doB. perform daily tasks instead of their parentsC. involve daily-life activities in groupsD. change real-life situation when role-playing5. The author believes that role-playing may help children ______. .A. develop a better awareness of grammarB. understand how to be both leaders and followersC. improve creativity by using their imaginationsD. receive benefits from their emotional pain6. The underli ned word “master” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______. .A ignore B. confirm C. overcome D. predictCAttitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.Actually, this isn’t surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education, 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person’s age will ha ve little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.7. What happens when a new technology appears?A. It often leads to great inventions in other related fields.B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.D. It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.8. What does the author say about the driverless car?A. It does not seem to create a generational divide.B. It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.C. It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.D. It may start a revolution in the car industry.9. Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?A. It helps with their moving.B. It saves their money and energy.C. It adds to the safety of their travel.D. It makes their life more interesting.10. What is likely to affect one’s attitude toward the driverless car?A. The field of their special interest.B. The location of their living place.C. The amount of training they received.D. The length of their driving experience.DAs Connie took the plates away, I noticed a stack of newspapers that had obviously been read before I got there.You bother keeping up with the news, I asked? "Yes," Morrie said. "Do you think that's strange? Do you think because I'm dying, I shouldn't care what happens in this world?"Maybe.He sighed. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I shouldn't care. After all, I won't be around to see how it all turns out."But it's hard to explain, Mitch. Now that I'm suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer than I ever did before. The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims . . . and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if it were my own. I don't know any of these people. But-how can I put this?-I'm almost . . . drawn to them."His eyes got moist, and I tried to change the subject, but he dabbed his face and waved me off."I cry all the time now," he said. "Never mind."Amazing, I thought. I worked in the news business. I covered stories where people died. I interviewed grieving family members. I even attended the funerals. I never cried. Morrie, for the suffering of people half a world away, was weeping. Is this what comes at the end, I wondered? Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another.Morrie honked loudly into the tissue. "This is okay with you, isn't it? Men crying?"Sure, I said, too quickly.He grinned. "Ah, Mitch, I'm gonna loosen you up. One day, I'm gonna show you it's okay to cry."Yeah, yeah, I said. "Yeah, yeah," he said.We laughed because he used to say the same thing nearly twenty years earlier. Mostly on Tuesdays. In fact, Tuesday had always been our day together. Most of my courses with Morrie were on Tuesdays, he had office hours on Tuesdays, and when I wrote my senior thesis which was pretty much Morrie's suggestion, right from the start-it was on Tuesdays that we sat together, by his desk, or in the cafeteria, or on the steps of Pearlman Hall, going over the work.So it seemed only fitting that we were back together on a Tuesday, here in the house with the Japanese maple out front. As I readied to go, I mentioned this to Morrie."We're Tuesday people," he said. Tuesday people, I repeated.Morrie smiled."Mitch, you asked about caring for people I don't even know. But can I tell you the thing I'm learning most with this disease?"What's that?"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."His voice dropped to a whisper. "Let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, `Love is the only rational(理性的) act.' "He repeated it carefully, pausing for effect. " `Love is the only rational act.' "I nodded, like a good student, and he exhaled weakly. I leaned over to give him a hug. And then, although it is not really like me, I kissed him on the cheek. I felt his weakened hands on my arms, the thin stubble of his whiskers brushing my face."So you'll come back next Tuesday?" he whispered.11.What kind of person do you think Morrie is?A.K ind and sensitiveB. Sensitive and energeticC. Committed and stubbornD. Depressed and stubborn12.What relationship do you suppose Morrie and Mitch share?A. NeighborsB. ColleaguesC. Father and son.D. Teacher and student13.Which of the following details shows that Mitch has been influenced by Morrie?A. I learned over to give him a hugB. I nodded, like a good studentC.I kissed him on the cheekD. Sure, I said, too quickly14.What does the underlined phrase “loosen you up” mean?A. let you goB. make you relaxedC. lose control of youD. allow you to be free15.What is the author likely to write about next?A. More Tuesdays with MorrieB. More about Mitch’s school lifeC. More reports about dying peopleD. More about the cause of Morrie’s disease第二节七选五(共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

ATechnology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.5G networks will bring the Internet everywhereThe most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service meaning that instead of,having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance（依赖）on wi-fi.Smart needles will detect cancer in momentsRight now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.People will be able to feel things in virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.Plant-based meat is going to grow in new ways2019 was the year of plant-based meats, with Beyond Meat introducing burgers that tasted just about the same as actual beef, but made entirely out of plants.

Skyline Dear Skyline,As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while.If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her.Likewise（同样地）, try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time.Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tiredfrom a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others.Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly.4. What is Skyline’s problem?A. She doesn’t live close to her mom.B. She doesn’t share things with her mom.C. Her mom is too busy to spend time with her.D. Her mom doesn’t understand her.5. What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem?A. Typical.B. Unusual.C. Strange.D. Tough.6. Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood?A. To encourage her mom to talk to her.B. To give her mom time to think of the past.C. To help her know more about her mom.D. To get her a chance to laugh at her mom.7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline?A. Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own.B. Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother..C Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home.D. Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom.CFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria（疟疾）medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl（e 潜水器）. He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.8. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.9. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat?A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops..B Because she was expert at wheat engineering.C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.10. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China?A. He teaches about sea at a university.B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. China’s Science StarsB. China’s Nobel Prize DreamC. Gao Caixia－China’s Crop EngineerD. Cui Weicheng－China’s Deep DiverDPeople do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica（虚构的）Greek sculptor.Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.12. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?A. A statue of a lady.B. The goddess of love.C.
