However, this country d idn’t 26 the watch. It was the British 27 did it. Here is a story of 28 the watch was 29 to Switzerland.Many years ago, an Englishman was 30 to Italy. 31 his way he stopped in a small town in south Switzerland.

Speak,speak,speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version,see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes,you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon,it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week,and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地),even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday,use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression,hand movements,anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material,yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times,you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example,what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently,for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind,then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all,have fun!()46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. ()47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. ()48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary()49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感).Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (及时),and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.()50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it()51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.()52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable ()53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”()54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless()55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use()56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible()57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.()58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on()59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement()60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we havethat spirit of the Chinese Wom en’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in timesof difficulty()61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readingswhen you come to important ideas which must be remembered.()62. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C()63.

Not until Jack came to and found himself and his belongings in an emergency room did he learn that the lady had contacted his family and quietly left. Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed forthe lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what wa s going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely… and thanks for your help. Otherwise…” Jack choked, ashamed and grateful. “Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Everyt hing will change for the better. I have faith in you,” she comforted the young man affectionately.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp(夺取)the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture(口感)and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding(培育)program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness(酸味)to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.(1)How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.(2)What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.(3)Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.(4)What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

hitmovie Up-in reparation for a more ambitious journey and a new record.Fearless Trappe,from North Carolina,stepped into the cartoon themed home before flying above the Leon International Balloon Festival in Mexico more than a week ago.The 38-year-old Trappe was using the event as a warm-up for his planned trans-Atlantic flight scheduled for next summer.He aims to complete the 2,500-mile journey in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons.The brave man is learning to sail a lifeboat,in case he needs to ditch into the ocean during the danger-filled adventure.He sill fly at between 18,000 feet and 25,000 feet,beating his previous world altitude record of 21,600 feet,and must fly uninterrupted a distance ten times longer than his previous world record of 230 miles in order to succeed.The adventurer Trappe,who holds records for crossing the Alps,flying the most cluster balloons,and the longest distance,has spent his entire career,building up to this ambitious plan.“I didn’t wake up one day and think:‘I’ going to fly across the Atlantic,’”he said.“Every attempt before this was prepared for this fight,I’ve been training for a long time”.1.The adventurer flew across the English Channel to______.A.test the balloons B.launch a houseC.shoot a hit movie D.prepare for breaking a record2.To finish the journey,he will fly a distance of______.A.2500 miles B.18,000 feet C.25,000 feet D.230 miles 3.About the ambitious journey,which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.When he will fly B.How high he sill flyC.How far he will fly D.How long it will take him4.How many world records does Jonathan hold?A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five5.What does he last paragraph imply?A.Trappe can’t sleep worrying about the adventureB.Trappe was born to set world recordsC.Trappe always keeps his ambition in mindD.Trappe never thought of crossing the Atlantic before4.(15分)Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher,and the teacher will ask us some questions.Sometimes,the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class.When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics,remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying.You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent,waiting to hear what you have to say.You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember,too,that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you.The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation.You must take special care that you can be heard.1.When you speak to the class,you should speak ______.A.as slowly as possible B.in a low voiceC.loudly D.forcefully2.Usually,when you speak to the class,the class is ______.A.noisy B.quiet C.having a rest D.serious3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house.A.not very different from B.sometimes the same asC.sometimes not the same as D.not the same as4.If you are having a conversation with an official,the most important thing for you is ______.A.to show your ability B.to be very gentleC.to make sure that you can be heard D.to put the official at ease5.The main idea of this passage is ______.A.that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB.that we must speak loudlyC.that we must keep silent at any timeD.that we must talk with the class5.(15分)You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings,you say hello,and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood?Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negativeperson is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A.make a comparison B.offer an evidenceC.introduce a topic D.describe a daily scene2.How can negative people have effect on us?A.By influencing our emotion.B.By telling us the nature of life.C.By changing our ways of thinking.D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.3.Some negative people base their happiness on ______.A.other people’s pity for them B.making other people unhappy C.building up a positive attitude D.other people’s respect for them 4.According to the passage,to reduce negative people’s influence on us,we are advised to ______.A.change negative people’s attitudes to lifeB.show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC.make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD.communicate with negative people as little as possible5.What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A.Favorable.B.Critical.C.Indifferent.D.Supportive.三、语法填空(本题共计1小题,总分20分)6.(20分)Every four years, millions of people gather in summer 1______ (watch) soccer games. This year, the World Cup kicked off on June 14 in Russia.Leading up to the most exciting sporting event, Live It Up, the official World Cup song, was released on May 25.2______ (perform) by US artists Nicky Jam, Will Smith, and Albanian singer Era Istref, the song has a line that goes, "One life, live it up, 'cause we got one life."With a great melody and catchy lyrics, the song stands for "the 3______ (excite), the celebration and the unity 4______ people all over the world will share during the 2018 World Cup". In fact, ever since the first official World Cup song came out in 1966, the relationship between soccer and music 5______ (grow) stronger and stronger. As The Telegraph put it, "Listening to 6______ (inspire) music encourages people to take more risks."One of the greatest soccer 7______ (coach), Giovanni Trapattoni, even believes that listening to music can teach players great lessons. "It is the intervals, speed, and rhythm 8______ help you learn the logical skills you need to read a game." he said.Indeed, the right music can make all the difference. As Colombian musician Juanes said, soccer and music have a lot 9______ common. "You need your feet for soccer and you need words for music, but they arouse one and 10______ same thing--- passion."四、书面表达(本题共计1小题,总分30分)7.(30分)假定你是李华,你的英国朋友Chris来信询问你校开展“最美校园”活动的情况。

![辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷](https://img.taocdn.com/s3/m/453e9e1ba9956bec0975f46527d3240c8547a170.png)
辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷一、阅读理解The World’s 4 Best Long-distance HikesSeveral new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures arefound.Juliana TrailSlovenia introduced the Juliana Trail in an attempt to get visitors to stay there longer and visit more. The 270km route begins at the adventure center of Kranjska Gora, near the Italian border, before circling around the Julian Alps past turquoise rivers and glacier-carved lakes. The trail is divided into 16 stages, so you can choose a shorter adventure or tackle the entire trail.Red Sea Mountain TrailMainland Egypt’s first long-distance hiking path, the Red Sea Mountain Trail links a series of ancient trade routes into a single 170km circuit that takes an average of 10 days to complete. Hikes brave enough to set off into this remote wilderness will skirt vast plain, dip into deep gorges and summit barren peaks to visit ruined Roman towns and prehistoric rock art.Paparoa Track The 5km Paparoa Track in New Zealand snakes into the rainforests of the South Island near the famous Pancake Rocks. The freshly carved trail typically takes three days on foot, or two days on a mountain bike. Along the way, you pass river gorges and hilltop lookouts with expansive views over the turquoise Tasman Sea.Liechtenstein TrailLiechtenstein celebrated its 300th birthday in 2019 by crafting a 75km walking path where citizens and visitors alike could explore three centuries of local history. The Liechtenstein Trail twists over peaks and pastures on a route that takes in 147 sites. The zigzagging north-south route takes about three days to complete.1.Why did Slovenia launch the Juliana Trail?A.To show the beauty of the Italian border.B.To attract tourists to visit Slovenia more.C.To protect the environment of the Julian Alps.D.To promote the development of local economy.2.Which is the shortest trail?A.Juliana Trail.B.Paparoa Track.C.Liechtenstein Trail.D.Red Sea Mountain Trail.3.What is special about LiechtensteinTrail?A.It offers a window into local history.B.Visitors have access to prehistoric rock art.C.Hikers can ride a mountain bike on the trail.D.It takes visitors through fascinating valleys.Born in 1958 in Nanning, Guangxi, Dr. Huang Danian became interested in geophysics early. His parents, teaching at a local geological institution, passed the passion down to him. In 1978, Huang was admitted to Changchun Institute of Geology and later taught there. He once wrote that rejuvenating (使恢复活力) the Chinese nation was their generation’s responsibility.In 1992, he went to Britain for further studies. There, he obtained his doctorate in geophysics and joined a local firm. During his time in the UK, Huang’s heart remained devoted to the motherland, frequently flying back to China to attend academic meetings or seminars related to his field. In 2008, he returned to China with great resolution. For him, no matter how successful he was abroad, the biggest satisfaction would be improving his home country.Upon his return to China, he was entrusted to work at Jilin University as a professor and chief scientist in a branch of China’s biggest deep earth exploration program. Over 400 scientists participated in the program, which aimed to fix high-tech cameras on aircraft, ships, and satellites that would enable scientists to see through the earth’s crust (地壳) without digging into it.For seven years, Huang worked racing against time. Many of his co-workers called him a workaholic while he thought he was more like a “lunatic (疯狂的人)”. “China is in urgent need of ‘lunatics’ if it is to become a stronger country. It would be an honor if I could be one of them,” he added. The lunatic’s madness paid off. He and his team helped China greatly narrow its gap with developed countries in obtaining precise data on deep earth exploration. They created a number of China’s No.1s, filling many technical gaps for China’s sky survey, ground detection, and sea exploration.During his whole life, he sought no fame, and always kept the motherland in mind. As a scientist, he fulfilled his dream of rejuvenating the nation with exceptional achievements. 4.Why did Dr. Huang decide to return and work in China?A.To work at Jilin University.B.To attend academic meetings.C.To devote himself to researching.D.To serve his motherland whole-heartedly.5.What did the deep-earth exploration program focus on?A.Discovering new mineral resources.B.Competing with developed countries.C.Equipping various platforms with cameras.D.Helping scientists explore beneath the earth’s crust.6.What did Huang and his team achieve?A.They won many international awards.B.They got accurate data on deep ocean.C.They attained many firsts in relevant fields.D.They helped China overtake developed countries.7.Which of the following can best describe Dr. Huang?A.Committed and patriotic.B.Enterprising and crazy.C.Sensitive and rigid.D.Single-minded and unreliable.Cyber-attacks may sound like something that happens only in Hollywood movies. You picture a team of talented hackers gathered around computer monitors trying to break into a secure bank or some important severs. In reality, cyber-attacks are much less exciting but no less dangerous.Cyber-attacks can happen to anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are; cyber criminals can target you. While many often think hacking victims were clueless abut digital security best practices, this isn’t always the case. True, there are plenty of apparent scams (骗局) that can be easily identified, but there are many attacks that can fool even the skillful computer-users.Criminals create fake websites and email addresses. You may think you are clicking a linkto Dropbox, only to download malware (恶意软件) onto your computer, and may never know when you have visited the wrong site and downloaded an infected file. So, it’s up to you to be vigilant and protect yourself.So you need to learn to recognize the signs of cyber-attacks. First, recognize suspicious activity on your accounts or devices. While some things may be obvious, such as account password changes, others aren’t so easy to spot. And then, you might receive a file from a trusted sender whose mail has been leaked. Sometimes, the data are even real, but the hacker may have inserted a few lines of code that can also infect your computer. You should take the time to check your “Task Manager” to get a sense of what programs are running. Check anything suspicious that’s running in the background. That’s often the sign of malware. Other things to watch out for include: random device or internet slowdown; the software you don’t recognize; inability to access your account or unscheduled shutdowns and restarts.As with everything, prevention is the best medicine. So, instead of waiting for cyber-attacks to hit you, recognize the signs to protect yourself.8.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.Cyber-attacks are not really dangerous.B.Anyone can be subject to cyber-attacks.C.People don’t realize the risk of cyber-attacks.D.Cyber-attacks in Hollywood movies are exciting.9.What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Dismissive.B.Upset.C.Cautious.D.Concerned. 10.How do you find you might be attacked by cyber criminals?A.A trusted friend sent you a file.B.Your internet slows down strangely.C.You can access your account with ease.D.Your account password functions normally.11.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A.To clarify the definition of cyber-attacks.B.To analyze different types of cyber-attacks.C.To introduce how to identify cyber-attacks.D.To entertain readers with cyber-attacks in movies.China is currently constructing the world’s first commercial underwater data center, which marks a groundbreaking initiative. This project aims to revolutionize the industry by controlling the power of the ocean depths, resulting in significant energy and land savings. With the potential to match the computational abilities of approximately 6 million conventional personal computers, this underwater data center is ready to be a game-changer.The data center modules of China’s underwater facility are being installed on the seafloor at depths of around 35 meters. Designed to withstand harsh underwater conditions, these modules are expected to operate sustainably for up to 25 years. Each waterproof storage module weighs an impressive 1,300 tons and can process over 4 million high-definition images every 30 seconds.One of the most significant advantages of the underwater data center is the ability to use the natural cooling qualities of seawater. By adopting this innovative approach, the data center is estimated to save a remarkable 122 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This achievement in energy efficiency emphasizes China’s commitment to sustainability and educing environmental impact.With the initial arrangement of one storage module in April, 2023 and the recent addition of a second module, the project is well underway. The grand plan aims to have a total of 100 modules fully operational by 2025, marking a significant milestone in sustainable data center development.By choosing an underwater data center, China is actively addressing the challenges of land conservation. Traditional data centers often occupy vast amounts of land. In contrast, this underwater marvel takes up minimal dry space, preserving land for other essential purposes. Additionally, the use of natural sate cooling reduces the stress on traditional energy sources, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. This environmentally conscious approach corresponds with global sustainability goals ad sets an example for the industry to follow. 12.Why is China building the underwater data center?A.To reshape the data center industry.B.To make full use of energy and land.C.To control the power of the ocean depths.D.To improve computers’ computational ability.13.What can be learnt about the underwater data center’s modules?A.They are light and easy to reposition.B.They will be replaced every few years.C.They occupy vast amounts of land and ocean.D.They can sustain operation for long periods.14.What is one impact of using an underwater data center?A.Preventing ocean pollution.B.Worsening the environment.C.Conserving land for other uses.D.Increasing energy consumption. 15.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.National Seawater Cooling SystemB.China’s Initiative to Conserve LandC.Land-Based Energy-Efficient Data CentersD.China’s Commercial Underwater Data CenterThe power of positive thinkingIs your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? 16 Do they focus on the positives (a half-full glass) or the negatives (a half-empty one)? Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism — and it’s known to boost your well-being. The good news is that everybody can learn to think more positively.17Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic (expect that the worst will happen) may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe — if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks. “ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.Learn to think positively.Optimism is shaped by your genes which carry characteristics inherited from your parents and by what happens to you. 19 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive-for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. 20A.Your genes will in turn help obtain it.B.This question makes you lost in thought.C.Why is thinking positively good for you?D.Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it.E.Worrying is our brain warning us of something threatening.F.However, whatever your starting point is, everyone can learn it.G.This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation.二、完形填空I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard. Bad relationships, unpleasant workplaces, 21 sports — I’ve hung on in there for months and even years longer than I should have, convinced the situation would 22 if I refused to give up.After all, isn’t every success story covering 23 ? Didn’t Ernest Hemingway shrink from writing during the First World War, and didn’t Oprah get fired from her first TV job? Quitting is a sign that you lack 24 and strong will, or at least I was raised to believe.25 , if I look back on all the things I eventually quit, my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I’ve wasted too much time and energy, anticipating that I could 26 everyone if I just kept going.People are more likely to 27 something if they’ve invested a lot of money or effort into it, even when it’s clear that they should 28 their losses and jump ship. This practice is normal and understandable but it’s also 29 .If you don’t get energy out of doing something, it can be a(n) 30 that this is not for you or that there’s something better you could be doing. Or it could be a sign that you should 31 your goals.

高二上学期期末考试(英语)(考试总分:120 分)一、阅读理解(本题共计4小题,总分37.5分)1.(7.5分)Beijing Imperial Court Food(宫廷菜)Imperial Court Food is a style of food with origins in the Imperial Palace and it is well-known for the original features of the raw materials and carefully selected ingredients. In addition, the dishes are decorated with different colored vegetables and fruits in various shapes. Each dish has a special name, such as Yu Feng Huan Chao. Today, Imperial Court Food has become an important school of Chinese cooking with several places offering this special taste. While expensive, it is worth trying.Fangshan Restaurant is the most famous one offering the first-class Imperial Court Food. The restaurant is made up of three parts and it can hold 500 people eating at the time. It is decorated in imperial style with the design of dragon and phoenix. Here is the best place to experience the life of the Chinese emperors in former days. Now, it serves nearly 800 kinds of Imperial Court Dishes. Among them, Man-Han Banquet is the most famous.The layout(布局) of the restaurant follows the imperial palace. When eating in the restaurant, diners are served by waitresses in traditional imperial clothes.The dishes and snacks cooked in this restaurant are worthy to be tried. And, the traditional performances at night is one of the restaurant's attractions.Both of the food and services of this restaurant are so good. You can also enjoy some wonderful performances in this large courtyard.(1).Imperial Court Food stands out because of the following EXCEPT ______.A.pleasant namesB.reasonable pricesC.selective materialsD.pretty decorations(2).If you'd like to try Man-Han Banquet, which restaurant should you go to?A.Da Zhai Men.B.Royal Palace.C.Yushan Restaurant.D.Fangshan Restaurant.(3).In which restaurant can you enjoy Chinese traditional performances?A.Da Zhai Men.B.Y ushan Restaurant.C.Fangshan Restaurant.D.Royal Palace.2.(10分)The capital of France―Paris, also has a traffic problem like all big cities: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气). So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (“Velib” comes from vélo liberté, or “bicycle freedom”) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy(25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle―they'll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.

This is believed to be the first research analyzing impact of such races on those living nearby.The investigators examined 10 years' worth of patient records analyzing death rates among older Americans, 65 years of age and over, within 30 days of having a heart attack or a cardiac arrest(心脏停搏) near a major marathon.Death rates among patients hospitalised on the day of the race were compared with those hospitalised five weeks prior or five weeks after the race, and researchers also compared death rates among people living close to the event and those living in areas unaffected by street closures.“When cities host big marathons, or when people participate in races, they don't think that there might be a chance that a person not taking part in the race could die because of the event,” said Jena.(1).What did the scientists find from the research?A.Marathon races do harm to the players.B.Major marathons see many athletes die.C.Most people suffer a heart attack during races.D.Marathon increases the chances of heart attack death.(2).What can we learn about the research trom paragraph 4?A.It is hard to avoid dying during marathon races.B.Treatment is usually absent during a heart attack.C.It is a research on effect of marathons on nearby people.D.It is suggested that people should give up marathons.(3).What may people think of the result of the research from the text?A.Astonishing.B.Regretful.mon.D.Coincidental.(4).Where is the text most probably from?A.Local sports games.B.Science and technology.C.Health and medicine.D.Environment and energy.4.(10分)A recent study suggests that vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal, and prevent scarring(结疤). The vitamin, which is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunshine, is believed to help protect against burning.Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons why the body produces the chemical.The research from Birmingham University, has found they may also help relieve other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and recorded their levels of vitamin D. They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and fewer scars.Professor Janet Lord said:“Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse results in burn patients including life-threatening infections(感染), death and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve the condition for burn patients.”Professor Lord and her team are now focusing on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future.The amount of reduction in patients' vitamin D levels was not related to the severity(严重程度) of the burn, so levels may also be decreased in minor burn injury, suggesting taking vitamin D pills could also help people with everyday burns. Public Health England nowrecommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.(1).What does the new study find?A.People with low vitamin D levels get burned easily.B.Vitamin D helps with the recovery from burn injury.C.Vitamin D pills aid in reducing the swelling from burns.D.Vitamin D is more beneficial to serious burns than minor burns.(2).What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.The severity of one's burn reflects his vitamin D levels.B.Vitamin D pills are more needed in the autumn months.C.Burn patients lacking vitamin D are at high risk of infection.D.Minor burns have no effect on patients' vitamin D levels.(3).What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The researchers.B.Vitamin D pills.C.Previous studies.D.Some kinds of vitamins.(4).Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Vitamin D: A Necessity for Our HealthB.Vitamin D Pills: When Are They Needed?C.Vitamin D: How Much Does the Body Need?D.Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns &. Prevent Scarring二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分12.5分)5.(12.5分)China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. __1___ Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.In recent decades, a series of wildlife protection movements have been carried out by the central government. __2___ The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these success stortes.The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s.
