He thinks it will help you become a man.M: No,he just wants me out of the house because he likes you better. He knows I'd rather go to acting school. (13)Besides,I'd get in a lot more trouble these days for lying to the military. Even if I wanted to join, I still have three years to wait. (14)In addition,he probably just has nice memories of the place he met mom. They met in his third four-year tour and he quit right after that.Text 10Fred Rogers was an American television actor who changed children's television.His show began in 1968 and was named Mister Rogers'Neighborhood. For 33 years Mister Rogers'Neighborhood was on television, (17)and in that time it was made 895 broadcasts!Fred Rogers wanted to make television educational for children and adults. The show was about understanding complex issues in society,but also it was used to teach people good morals. (18)He had other projects as well,but he never cared about making money and donated most of his profits to people in need. In 1978,between the filming of Mister Rogers 'Neighborhood, Fred hosted an interview show as well. It only lasted for one year, (19)but had around 20 chapters.The people he invited were usually important figures like politicians and sports stars. Fred felt that having"heart-to-heart"conversations was the only way to understand people around you,so he tried his best to put this idea into his work.Fred also was an author of over 36 books! The majority of these books were for parents,and gave good advice and techniques for how to talk to the children about difficult topics. Some of his books were Going to the Doctor,The New Baby and When a Pet Dies. He thought it was very important for parents to talk about these things which were hard to understand for a young child but will still happen in his life. (20)。

He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年).Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work.Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon.As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.4．What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs?A．He drew teenagers’ growth in his work.B．He became a working artist when aged 13.C．He was disqualified for a juried exhibition.D．He showed his series at the capital art center.5．Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery?A．To promote artists by showcasing their work.B．To form the connection between different galleries.C．To expand his own business through themed shows.D．To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage.6．Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery?A．Pioneering.B．Short-lived.C．Popular.D．Unpromising. 7．What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text?A．Helpful and cautious.B．Devoted and creative.C．Humorous and intelligent.D．Knowledgeable and ambitious.Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is how we memorize the alphabet (字母表) when we are little. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the US.Rote memorization can be useful for test preparation, learning basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas, and when we are in the early stages of learning something new. Rote memorization has a place in our day to day lives, especially when we need to learn something new or in a quick fashion. It enables us to remember information in situations where doing so is the main thing asked of us, even if it doesn’t lead us to have a deep understanding of that information.However, rote memorization isn’t always the solution to every problem. Information memorized through rote learning is often preserved in the short term but may be forgotten relatively quickly if not actively used. Besides, it often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may memorize facts or information without truly comprehending their meaning or how they fit into a broader context. And rote memorization tends to focus onmemorizing facts and procedures, which may discourage critical thinking or problem-solving skills.Both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important thing to remember is that rote memorization cannot stand in as a replacement for actual learning. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly. 8．What is Dr. Aldrich Chan’s attitude towards rote memorization?A．Against.B．Doubtful.C．Objective.D．Approving. 9．Which of the following can be best achieved through rote memorization?A．Improving study effectiveness in all situations.B．Applying knowledge flexibly in our daily lives.C．Obtaining a thorough comprehension of information.D．Memorizing information at the beginning stages of learning.10．What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?A．To compare different types of memorization.B．To present the limitations of rote memorization.C．To prove the effectiveness of rote memorization.D．To discuss the advantages of meaningful learning.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Rote Memorization: A Useful Learning ToolB．Rote Memorizing: No Equal to UnderstandingC．Rote Memorization: Way of Meaningful LearningD．Rote Memorization: Alternative to Deep LearningIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel forthe aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的).The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.”12．Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A．Unique.B．Practical.C．Time-tested.D．Quick.13．What problem does the aviation industry face?A．It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B．The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.C．Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D．Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14．What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A．It is green and cost-saving.B．It is complex and time-consuming.C．It runs tests in natural environment.D．It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15．What’s the purpose of the author?A．To attract people to explore the space.B．To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C．To warn us the dangers of climate change.D．To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.Ever reacted to a situation in a way you later regretted? We all have. When we lack emotional intelligence, it can cost us relationships, both at work and in our personal lives. 16 So how can we do that? In this post, I uncover three simple yet science- backed strategies to help you get started.Form connections with micro- moments of upliftmentHave you ever noticed how some people leave you feeling exhausted while others make you feel energized and positive? The difference often lies in whether you’ re interacting with a“ positive energizer” — someone who understands the power of small uplifting moments.You can become a positive energizer yourself. 17 Instead, it’s about sincerely connecting with people through modesty, empathy, honesty, integrity, and forgiveness.18Feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Everyone does at times. Studies by our research team and others show that breathing exercises are one of the quickest and most effective ways to manage emotions in real time. By changing the rate of your inhales (吸气) to exhales (呼气), you can significantly lower your stress levels in minutes. 19 When you breathe in, your heart rate speeds up, but when you breathe out, it slows down. To practice, close your eyes and breathe in for a count of four, then breathe out for a count of eight. Repeat this for at least two to five minutes.Tap into your self- awarenessHave you ever reacted to a situation at work in a way you weren’t proud of? No matter how successful we may be, we all struggle with managing our emotions at times and suffer the consequences afterward. Self- awareness is vital for managing your reactions and improving your relationships. It’s about tuning into what’s happening in your mind and body — taking a moment to reflect and ask yourself“ What do I need right now?” Sit down and close your eyes. 20 Notice your state of your body, take note of your thoughts and notice your emotions.A．Bring your attention inward.B．Self- regulate with your breath.C．The key is to extend your exhalations.D．Manage your emotional intelligence wisely.E．This doesn’t mean forcing cheerfulness or wearing a fake smile.F．Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, assess and control the emotions of yourself. G．Learning how to manage our emotions skillfully is critical to being socially successful.二、完形填空It had been a long business trip. We had already had multiple flight delays, so I was pleased when we 21 boarded the plane on schedule. The flight attendants shut the door, 22 the passengers, and soon after, I heard the sound of the engines firing, which seemed quite 23 to me.It is common in Atlanta that we had to wait a bit on the 24 for our turn. And then finally we started moving slowly. 25 , when we did so for about 10 minutes, suddenly the plane stopped. An announcement came that we’d have a delay, and we’d be in a holding pattern for a little while.That “little while” 26 90 minutes at last. It was almost 40 degrees and we were 27 in the small plane with almost no air conditioning. It seemed like a(n) 28 ! So when the plane took off in the end, all the passengers couldn’t help cheering.Waiting is not something that comes easily to me. I’m more like the sports car with the engine 29 waiting at the crossing. But now, I’ve 30 something: When I have to stay in a “holding pattern”, it will be wise to accept that with 31 and a good attitude. Sometimes those “holding patterns” are for my 32 . They make me wait until things are 33 . Sometimes those “holding patterns” seem very long and 34 just like the one on the hot airplane but I should trust everything will be OK.

河北衡水中学高二上二调英语试卷
2020-2021学年河北衡水中学高二上二调英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择"Shark on the bait （诱饵）!" shouted Andre Harman, pointing to a spot a few yards behind the outboard motors．His voice gave no indication of panic, but the crew suddenly became tense and fixed their eyes on the water．Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the bait．The shark followed．No one asked what kind of shark it was．Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark．Andre lifted the bait aboard．Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the water just as the great head reached the first motor．“My goodness Andre!” I said．His hand seized the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the shark's head up as it rose out of the water．Andre's hand held the nose, touching it gently．No one spoke．No one breathed．The moment seemed endless．In fact, it lasted less than five seconds before Andre pulled his hand back．Still nobody spoke．Then Andre smiled and said: "The first time was an accident．I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor．Sharks are attracted to motors by r．heir electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable．" Andre has worked with great white sharks for years．"My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it．"Nearly every encounter （遭遇）we had had with the great whites had been totally illogical．The more we learned, the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years．Back then, it was generally accepted that great whites ate people by choice．Now we know that almost every attack on a human is an accident in which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food．Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death．Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesn't return for a second bite．1．The author said, "My goodness! Andre ! " when ________．A．Andre was about to fall into the waterB．Andre was about to touch the sharkC．Andre was followed by the sharkD．Andre was bitten by the shark2．What does the author think of the encounters with great whites________. A．Exciting．B．Educational．C．Frightening D．Reasonable3．Most bite victims survive in shark attacks because________.A．they are taught how to fight off sharksB．sharks discover they are no threatsC．they manage to swim to safetyD．sharks stop attacking themThe latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer．All the stores are selling them; everyone wants one．Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However, that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods．In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer, I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．●Folding SteamerThe simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel （不锈钢）version．Advantages: This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．Disadvantages: It only holds small dishes．Also, if you put too much water in the pan, it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery．If you put too little water in and let it get dry, you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．●Steaming PanThis is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers, which sits on the oven ring．The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．Advantages: This is an excellent steamer, lightweight, easy to clean, and of all the steamersI've tried, this cooks the fastest．Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top．It's easier to store．Disadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top．It doesn't supply a dish for cooking rice．For serious users of steamers, I recommend having one of each version．If you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type．4．Why did the author carry out the survey________.A．To inform people of different steamersB．To run an advertisement for steamersC．To find out a suitable steamer to buyD．To learn how to cook with steamers5．What can we learn about the folding steamer________.A．It comes in different kinds of shapes and sizes．B．It is designed for large families．C．It is able to clean itself．D．It is easy to take out．6．The Nutritious Liuing steamer________．A．is more difficult to storeB．provides a dish to cook rice withC．cooks different foods at the same timeD．cooks fish and chicken faster than vegetables7．According to the author, you should________．A．use steamers to save cooking timeB．buy a steamer with dishes suppliedC．do a survey before choosing a steamerD．buy a folding steamer if you want to tryHuman beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip wasone of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?8．From paragraph 1, we can know ________.A．why early human beings cut skin from dead animalsB．how early human beings discovered the toolsC．what early human beings used the tools forD．what food early human beings stored9．The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ________.A．was very important to the development of mankindB．led to the invention of machines in the early timeC．developed cooking abilities of mankindD．was one of the first tools of mankind10．The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage to ________.A．show the changes of toolsB．introduce a new kind of toolC．give an example of using toolsD．compare the effects of two kinds of tools11．At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ________. A．out of order B．less colorfulC．hard to predict D．full of meaningsHigh school dropouts(辍学者)earn an average of ＄9000 less per year than graduates．Now anew study dispels a common belief why they quit．It’s much more basic than flunking out(不及格)．Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it．They are lazy, and perhaps not too bright．So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left．“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school, ” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said．About 1 million teens leave school each year．Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)student will receive a diploma(证书), and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision．So, if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does?Again, John Bridgeland：“The most dependable finding was that they were bored．”“They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated．They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations．”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit．In the US, only one state, New Mexico, has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate．Only four states：California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, requireschool ?attendance? until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher, says raising the compulsory(义务的)attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school．“As these dropouts look black, they realize they’ve made a mistake．And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure．”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18．But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point －the need for reform．It’s been called for to reinvent(彻底改造)high school education to make it more challenging and relevant(中肯的, 切题的), and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something．12．Most high school students drop out of school because ________．A．they have failing gradesB．they take no interest in classesC．they are discriminated againstD．they are lazy and not intelligent13．According to the passage, which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A．New Hampshire．B．Utah．C．New Mexico．D．The District of Columbia．14．The underlined words “stick it out” probably mean “________”．A．complete schoolingB．solve the problemC．love having classesD．believe in themselves15．In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to ________A．analyze the reason why students quit schoolB．suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC．call on to reform high school educationD．wish to make laws to guarantee no education二、信息匹配根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最能填入空白处的最佳选项。
河北省衡水中学2023届高三上半期二调英语试卷带参考答案和解析
阅读理解It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the boxes of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of them. I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a human heart in a simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (先入为主) I may have had. I will never forget it.【1】What does the underlined word “chum” mean in Paragraph1?A.Gifts.B.Food.C.Goods.D.Souvenirs.【2】Why did the author loosen the box when seeing the man?A.The author didn't want to buy it.B.The man needed it more.C.The author was frightened by the man.D.The man got the box first.【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Best Christmas Gift.B.The Largest Man I Have Ever Seen.C.An Unforgettable Bike.D.A Shopping Experience.【答案】【1】B【2】C【3】A【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

河北省衡水中学普通高等学校招生临考模拟(二)英语试题
2020届河北省衡水中学普通高等学校招生临考模拟（二）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Whether they are already household names or a hidden figure deserving of more recognition, the following ladies changed the world with their enormous contributions.Ali StrokerAli Stroker took the theater world — and, indeed, the very Internet — by storm when, on June 9, 2019, she became the first performer in a wheelchair to take home a Tony Award. After becoming the first actor in a wheelchair in Broadway history in 2015, she won the award for her powerhouse performance in the revival of Oklahoma .Junko TabeiTwenty-two years after the first-ever successful mission to the top of Mount Everest, Japanese mountaineer Junko Tabei became the first woman to reach the peak. She led a team of 15 women, accompanied by six Sherpas (夏尔巴人), and reached the summit with one of the Sherpas on May 16, 1975.Gertrude EderleThe Queen of Waves, who also happened to be deaf, was the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Fighting through cold temperatures and strong tides that change direction every six hours for 22 miles, she clocked a time of 14 hours and 34 minutes.Virginia ApgarGenerations of parents owe this American doctor a huge thank you, as she developed the Apgar Score, the first standardized system of tests to assess if newborn babies were healthy once they made their way from womb to world. Apgar, who was a gifted cellist and violinist in her spare time, also happens to hold the title of the first woman to be hired as a full professor at the medical school at Columbia University.1．Whose story may inspire the disabled?A．Stroker and Tabei.B．Stroker and Ederle.C．Ederle and Apgar.D．Ederle and Tabei.2．Why should Apgar be appreciated by parents?A．She took home a big award.B．She saved many babies' lives.C．She developed the Apgar Score.D．She became the first full professor.3．Who won the title of the Queen of Waves?A．Ali Stroker.B．Junko Tabei.C．Virginia Apgar.D．Gertrude Ederle.My students were taking midterms when my phone erupted with urgent messages. “A student is having a panic attack,” texted a teaching assistant. I ran out of my office, down a flight of stairs and found the student — a pupil in my 350-person organic chemistry class —lying motionless on the ground outside the exam hall. “Did my exam really trigger a panic attack?” I asked myself. “Why am I not prepared to deal with a situation like this?”It was my first time teaching the course. But I knew that the subject was challenging for my students. This was a source of stress for premedical students in particular, who feared that a low grade in organic chemistry would keep them from getting into medical school.The following day, I was scheduled to lecture to the same class. I knew that I had to address what had happened during the midterm. So, I started by saying: “I want to take some time today to talk about something important. How many of you think that this is a weed-out course?” Half of my students raised their hands carefully. “I’m sorry to hear that,” I continued. “I want you all to know that I do not consider any of you to be weeds; you all deserve to be here.”I flashed a slide of flowers in various shapes. I smiled at my students and said: “I think of you as flowers — different flowers with different needs. You may not bloom at the same time, but you will bloom! You may not do well in the midterm exam, but you will learn from your mistakes and do better in the final exam. I believe this. I believe in you.”From that point on, my office hours were packed. Some asked about lecture topics and study strategies; others opened up about personal issues. I was amazed that a simple, frank discussion in lecture could make such a difference.4．What made the pupil have a panic attack?A．Hiding personal issues.B．The stress for high grades.C．Lacking study strategies.D．Failing to handle the situation.5．What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．Cure. B．Prevent.C．Frighten. D．Cause.6．Why did the author go to the same class the next day?A．To give the lesson according to the arrangement.B．To apologize and explain to the panicked student.C．To give a speech on what happened in the test.D．To persuade all the students to stay in the class.7．Which paragraph mainly shows the author’s encouragement to students? A．Paragraph 2.B．Paragraph 3.C．Paragraph 4.D．Paragraph 5.The cognitive health and development of boys may be affected by their mothers’ body mass index ( BMI) (体重指数) while pregnant with them, according to research from Columbia University and the University of Texas at Austin.The study, which was published in the journal BMC Pediatrics on Friday, observed 368 subjects from low-income African American and Dominican women during the second half of their pregnancies, and then evaluated their children three and seven years later. Researchers found that the sons of women whose BMIs indicated that they were overweight or obese when they became pregnant were more likely to show less developed athletic skills as 3-year-olds and lower intelligence as 7-year-olds compared to boys whose mothers were at “normal” weights during pregnancy.Among boys, the study found, mothers’ overweight and obesity connected with IQ scores between 4.6 and almost 9 points lower than those of boys whose mothers’ weights were in the “normal” range before pregnancy. Researchers did not observe the same phenomenon amongdaughters whose mothers had been obese.“These findings aren’t meant to shame or scare anyone,” Elizabeth Widen, assistant professor of nutritional sciences at UT Austin and one of the study’s co-authors, said in a press release. “We are just beginning to understand some of these interactions between mothers' weight and the health of their bab ies.”Why mothers’ obesity appeared to affect childhood IQ was unclear, but earlier research has suggested that there is a relationship between a mother’s diet and her child’s later IQ, according to Columbia University. Researchers did not control for what the mothers ate, the press release noted.The study’s authors wrote that because childhood IQ has been shown to be an indicator of later success in life, studying how a mother’s obesity could affect the IQ of her child is worthwhile.8．How did researchers carry out the study?A．By measuring mothers’ body mass index.B．By watching mothers and babies for years.C．By comparing 3-year-old babies with 7-year-olds.D．By evaluating the health of mothers and their babies.9．What's the main purpose of the study?A．To show links between mothers’ weight and babies’ IQ.B．To make those overweight mothers shameful and scared.C．To warn some fat mothers to keep a balanced diet.D．To persuade more obese mothers to lose weight.10．What do the researchers think of the study?A．Doubtful. B．Worrying.C．Significant. D．Interesting.11．In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A．Entertainment. B．Novel.C．Education. D．Health.More than half of the birds in Washington are at risk of extinction because of climate change. That's according to a new national report from the Audubon Society, which gives detailed analysis of climate effects on about 600 species of North American birds.It's based on more than 140 million observations of birds across the US, Mexico and Canada. Audubon scientists looked at the likely effects of sea-level rise, urbanization, drought, extreme spring heat, increased fires, heavy rain and other factors.But it doesn't just spell out a doomsday scenario (世界末日).Instead, it offers a range of effects and warming, depending on how much carbon humans add to the atmosphere."It is truly an existential threat (威胁), not only to birds but to people,” said Doug Santoni, board chair of Audubon Washington, who looked into the report as soon as it came out.Santoni says he was struck to see the vulnerability (脆弱)of a common “ backyard bird" , the dark-eyed junco. It's one that many first-time birders become familiar with as they learn how to identify species based on their markings and other traits. Currently in Washington, you can count on juncos to show up at your feeder, year round. Extreme spring heat, increased fires and heavy rain are the kinds of changes that will force birds like these north, or kill them off if they fail to adapt.Trina Bayard, direct or of bird conservation at Audubon’s Washington chapter, says, "It's certainly a very serious warning report," but adds that there’s still hope. “If we can stabilize current temperatures and decrease our emissions (排放), we can really reduce the effects to these birds …that's very motivating. ”12．What can we know about the new report?A．It analyses the species of birds in detail.B．It's issued by watching 600 bird species.C．It shows the end of North American birds.D．It reports the threat some birds are facing.13．What may Santoni probably agree with?A．Climate change is a threat only to birds.B．It's too late to take action to save the birds.C．The current situation of the birds is worrying.D．It's common that birds are affected by climate change.14．Which of the following can help these birds according to Trina?A．Lowering present temperatures.B．Reducing our daily emissions.C．Making them adapt to climate change.D．Encouraging people to protect them.15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Climate change threatens many Washington bird species.B．A new report about 600 species of North American birds.C．Different attitudes towards the situation of bird species.D．Climate change makes different kinds of species at risk.二、七选五Water skiing is an exciting water sport that can be a ton of fun. You will get to have a thrilling adventure every time you go out on the water. 16．However, once you do, water skiing is a sport you can enjoy whenever you have a boat and enough flat water.17．Every water skier needs water skis — these are different from snow skis and they also differ depending on the size of the skier and the experience level of the skier. Of course, no one can water ski alone, so you will need to find at least two people to go with you on your water skiing adventure. You and everyone you go with will have more fun if the friends you go with also want to water ski. 18．After you have the boat, the people, and the skis, you will also need a water skiing cable and a life jacket.For your first time water skiing, you may want to either take a lesson from an expert or find a friend that has experience and is willing to teach you.19．The observer rides in the boat, but watches the water skier for any signals and helps the driver know when to start and stop.Once you get going and are able to water ski with ease, you will discover that there are many different types of water skiing. Most people just enjoy regular water skiing, but you may want to check out some of these more specialized types of water skiing. 20．A．You need a boat, naturally.B．It takes a little patience to learn.C．The idea is to ski on the surface of the water.D．Your ski tips should be pointing out of the water.E.Before you start water skiing, there are a few supplies you' 11 need.F.Of your two helpers, you need one to drive the boat and one to observe.G.In trick skiing, the water skier attempts gymnastic-like tricks while water skiing.三、完形填空Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. The onlything that she loved was dance. That 21 nearly ended one night in 2010, when Hill was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her 22 from the waist down.

2021年安徽省安庆市公共英语二级(笔试)真题(含答案)学校:________ 班级:________ 姓名:________ 考号:________一、3.阅读理解(10题)1.America has had many Presidents who have been famous all over the world. People from other countries know the names Washington, Kennedy and so on. However, many men who have served as President of the United States have not been famous in other parts of the world. One example is J.Q .Adams, the sixth man to serve as U.S.President.Very little happened while Adams was President. It was an unhappy time for him, and he wasn't very effective, when his term ended, he went back to the Congress and served as a representative sentative(众议院议员). While he wasin Congress, people began to respect him more than they had done while he was President. Adams was strongly against slavery and tried to outlaw it in Washington D.C.People began to look back on his presidency with a different view. Now they saw that he was an independent man with high ideal who loved his country and hated slavery Adams died in 1848 while speaking in the House of Representative.When Adams served as the sixth U.S. President, ____________.A.his people didn't regard him as a great manB.he tried a lot of means to get rid of slaveryC.his high ideal made an impression on American peopleD.he did a lot of things against laws2.In the past, news was______.A.sent by telegraphB.passed from one person to anotherC.sent by letterD.sent by telephone3.It is obvious that UNESCO ______.A.is a company in FranceB.is a world organization in the U. N.C.works mainly at fighting against illiteracyD.had many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy4.The reason "Father was in a hurry to get home" was that he ______.A.wasn't feeling very wellB.hated to drive in the darkC.wanted to take some exerciseD.didn't want to be caught by the police5.Although the sport is very popular, some people are still ______.A.expanding its equipmentB.asking for instructionsC.afraid of going down the mountainsidesD.curious about the sport6.A dog is a more demanding pot than a cat because ______.A.it must be trained so that it won't biteB.it demands more food and spaceC.it needs more love and careD.it must be looked after carefully7.A reservoir is used ______.A.to keep the fields wetB.to store waterC.to join canalsD.to prevent farmers from getting water8.One of the quickest and most effective ways to improve your vocabulary is by learning to recognize the most common Latin and Greek roots, since any one of them can help you define a number of English words. Whenever you come upon an unfamiliar word, first check to see if it has a recognizable root. If you know that the Latin root "ami" for example, means like or love, you can easily figure out that "amiable" means pleasant, friendly and "amorous" means loving. Even ff you cannot define a word exactly, recognizing the root will still give you a general idea of the word's meaning. Remembering thatthe Greek root "geo" means earth would certainly help you define "geophysics" as the physics of the earth, but it also might help you figure out that "geocentric" has to do with the center of the earth or with the earth as a center. Begin by studying the following lists of common Latin and Greek roots and representative words.The word "geochemistry" most probably means the chemistry of ______. A.the earth B.the moon C.the ocean D.the minerals9.The first tin coins were made ______.A.in ChinaB.in PhilippineC.in EnglandD.in countries of Africa10.Which of the following is true?A.Mr. Reese was luckier than the soldiers.B.Both Mr. Reese and the soldiers were out of luck.C.Nothing made Mr. Reese complain.D.The soldiers wanted to help Mr. Reese.二、2.英语知识运用(10题)11.【B18】A.containsB.containingC.containedD.having contained12.【B10】A.someB.suchC.lessD.no13.【B11】A.normalmonC.unusualD.quick14.【B4】A.materialsB.affairsC.mattersD.things15.
