AIn 2017, Jim McGee was diagnosed with a kidney(肾) illness, and he was told by the doctors that he could only live about four years. Therefore, he was in bad need of a kidney transplant(移植). However, it was said that 13 people would die every day while waiting for a right kidney with the r ight blood and tissue types. Jim’s wife, Shirley McGee, and some family friends offered but weren’t a match.In order to seek for help, Shirley and her husband wore T-shirts with a sentence “I’m in need of a kidney transplant.” whenever they went out but s till no luck. Jim lost heart.In early 2018, Jim didn’t feel like attending a reunion of some classmates, saying there was no need to do this. However, Shirley said, “Come on. You really need to see your friends. Go, and enjoy yourself.” Then, Jim reunited with some old classmates, whom he hadn’t seen for nearly 50 years, including Doug Coffman. Jim told them his problem. As life would have it, Doug Coffman, then 70, happened to have the right blood type and immediately decided to help.After a series of tests, finally, when the doctors gave Doug Coffman the OK to donate, he immediately called Jim, and told him the good news. On September 18, 2018, Doug went into surgery at 7: 30 a. m.; Jim followed at 9: 30 a.m. By noon, they were both in the recovery room. The transplant was a great success.1. How did Jim feel about his illness after the failed wait for the right kidney?A. satisfied.B. nervous.C. ashamed.D. discouraged2. Which of the following words can best describe Shirley McGee?A. reasonable and energetic.B. supportive and considerate.C. outgoing and thankful.D. knowledgeable and responsible.3. Why did Jim McGee decide to attend the reunion?A. To find the right kidney.B. To share his sad story.C. To meet his fellow classmates.D. To have a complete examination there.4.

He helped Jim without hesitation.BLooking for a good job is a fierce competition for graduates, so we must be careful to make our personal choices. Our family and friends may say it doesn’t matter whatever we are wearing, but the workplace may not.Some companies forbid visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain odd dress styles. A high school newspaper editor says it is unfair to judge a person by his appearance. However, as for me, I think we have to admit what we wear does convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of our identity and our thoughts. So it makes sense that companies dress standards exist in the business world, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may argue what we dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for companies it is more about whether they can make money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees because those people represent the companies to their customers.I am paid to be a hiring manager and to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are so many qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to refuse someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.You should be responsible for yourself, if the company says your dress does not match the standards. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.5. Which of the following will the newspaper editor agree with according to Paragraph 2?A. The candidate should also be treated equally even if he wears tattoos or nose rings.B. What people dress is only a way to carry messages about themselves.C. It isn’t encouraged to wear strange dress styles.D. Companies dress standards will be influenced by customers’ choices.6. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have the freedom to decide what to wear for an interview.B. Because customers’ choices matter most, what to wear is not a matter of p ersonal choice.C. As a hiring manager, one should make the best impression on their candidates.D. Companies sometimes have to change their standards to meet their candidates’ need.7. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Your Appearances MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Employers MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter8. What was the author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in companies?A. Disagreeable.B. Unconcerned.C. Favorable.D. Objective.CIn order to reduce noise pollution, more a nd more airports are promoting a “silent airport” idea, especially in Europe.Aiming to offer timely and helpful updates of information, international airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on. Now, it is all changing. Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. “Passengers can r elax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.Finland has a tourism slogan(口号) which is “silence, please”. In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland adopted the silent airport idea, therefore, announcements for flights are made only in some certain boarding gate areas. Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals(航站楼) will be made only in emergency circumstances. People begin to worry, what if they miss their boarding time?Actually, there’s no need to worry about this. Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that the improved flight information display system, together with the advancedtechnology, is changing the way airports communicate with passengers. At Munich airport, Passengers can simply tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking time to their destinations.Of course, it is impossible that an airport will be as silent as a temple. There will continue to be an increasing need for airport-wide emergency announcements along with boarding calls. But at silent airports, these announcements should be restricted to specific gates, not the whole airport, as has adopted in Helsinki.9. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?A. Finland’s tourism slogan.B. The information about their boarding time.C. The “you are here” display.D. The location of certain boarding gate.10. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the text?A. To show its popularity.B. To introduce the information display system.C. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.D. To prove Heikki Koski’s words.11. What does the underlined word “restricted” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Limited.B. Delivered.C. Made.D. Broadcast.第二节（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。

He overheard his coworker Jack Dwyer mention that his cousin Heather had just developed stage IV liver(肝)disease. She was only 25, Dwyer said, but she wouldn’t survive m uch longer unless she could have a liver transplant(移植).Dempsey wanted to help. “If someone in my family were in Heather’s situation, I would want somebody to step up and help me,” said Dempsey, who phoned the hospital and immediately started the testing. He wasn’t sure what would happen to Krueger if he wasn’t a match. But a few weeks later, the tests came back. They were positive, and Dempsey was happy to give up to 55%of his liver to save Krueger’s life.Dempsey wanted to call Krueger to tell her the good news. Though they’d texted, they’d never spoken before. After Krueger hung up the phone, she ran down the hall to her mother and cried. When Dempsey hung up, he felt“like a totally new person. ”A few days later, Dempsey and Krueger met to discuss the operation, but they ended up talking about much more things. Krueger explained that she had to quit her job as a nursing assistant when her illness became too serious. Still, as Dempsey remembered it,“ She didn’t look like a person who was sick. She was beautiful, and she had this smile on her face the entire time. It was amazing how high her spirits were. ”Moreover, the two planned for a public fundraising to help pay Krueger’s medical bills.On the day of the transplant, Dempsey and Krueger sat side by side in hospital beds, surrounded by their families. The operation went well and they were both released from the hospital within a month.1. Why did Dempsey decide to help Krueger?A．Because of his own experience.B．Out of his care and kindness for others.C．Because Krueger was his cousin.D．Because his coworker Jack asked him to do so.2.

Puffin Books, the publisher of UK writer Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books like Matilda and The Witches, came under fire in February due to their ehoice to cut out hundreds of impolite words such as“fat”and“ugly”in Roald Dahl’s stories to make them more acceptable to modern readers.Although the publisher argued that they were meant to allow Dahl’s hooks to continue to be enjoyed by all today, many people were still angered by the practice. Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie was among those who reacted angrily to the rewriting of Dahl’s words. He said that “it’s important that works of literature are preserved”, noted Sky News.According to The Conversation,“children’s literature implicitly(潜移默化地)shapes the minds of child readers by presenting particular social and culture values. Children can be intiuenced easily to works which can shape the way they grow up and understand the world. ”Personally, I believe in the intelligence of children to explore the world around them. It is the job of teachers, parents and that other adult guardians to help children understand that books are products of their times and that authors-even the best among them-are human beings with their own flaws(缺点).After all, just as Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, a nonprofit organization that protects writers and freedom of expression, wrote on her Twitter,“ If we start to change and adapt the great works instead of allowing readers to receive and react to books as written, we risk destroying the beauty that literature offers. ”With this kind of understanding in mind, we can provide children with the tools to judge and sort out what they read. This is a skill needed now more than ev er in a time of“fake news” and the rapid spread of disinformation(虚假消息).1. What do the underlined words “the practice”in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Puffin Books changed some impolite words in Roald Dahl’s stories.B．Puffin Books removed some rude words from Roald Dahl’s stories.C．Puffin Books preserved some impolite words in Roald Dahl’s stories.D．Puffin Books allowed Dahl’s books to continue to be enjoyed by all.2. Which of the following would Suzanne Nossel most probably agree with?A．Parents and teacher are responsible to help children understand the classics.B．The change to the great works will make them more attractive.C．Children can be influenced by the books they read.D．Great works should be preserved as written.3. What is the author’s attitude to the rewriting of Dahl’s works?A．Objective. B．Concerned C．Supportive. D．Critical.4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Roald Dahl’s Classic Children’s BooksB．Children’s Books: Up to DateC．Great Works: To Rewrite or NotD．Bring Great Books for Children3. The Brain of a woodpecker(啄木鸟)experiences a seemingly catastrophic impact every time its beak(喙)hits wood. “When you see these birds hitting their heads against a tree, we as humans get puzzled why they don’t get headaches or brain damage,” says Sam Van Wassenbergh, a researcher at the University of Antwerp.In the past, scientists have suggested the bird’s brain is protected from the impacts, perhaps by a beak that absorbs some of the force, or something in its head that acts as a cushion(缓冲物). But Van Wassenbergh didn’t think so. So he led a team to study using high-speed video of woodpeckers in action. The videos showed some striking details. For example “they close their eyes at the moment they hit the wood. ” Van Wassenbergh says, to protect their eye from flying bits of wood. The videos also showed that woodpeckers’ beaks often get stuck in the wood. But they get free almost immediately, thanks to a clever beak design that provides independent movement of the upper and lower beak.What the videos did not show is any sign that the woodpeckers’ brain is somehow cushioned. “The way we see the head behaving is very rigid(死板的), like a tool hitting wood,” Van Wassenbergh says. That means the head repeatedly experiences slowdowns that would cause an injury in a human brain.Yet the woodpecker brain appeared unharmed, even after thousands of impacts in a single day. This is possible because of its small size and weight. Van Wassenbergh says. “An animal that has a smaller size can stand higher slowdowns,” he says.That idea was suggested in 2006 by Lorna Gibson, a professor at MIT. Now, it has been confirmed by the high-speed video. A woodpecker’s brain is about 700 times smaller than a human brain. “That is why even the hardest hits we observed are not expected to cause any injury,” Van Wassenbergh says.1. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Useful. B．Harmful. C．Unrelated. D．Little.2. Which of the following did the videos show about the woodpecker?A．Its beak can absorb some force.B．Its eyes are closed when it is pecking.C．Its pecking speed slow down gradually.D．Its upper and lower beak must work together.3. What protects the woodpecker’s brain from injury according to Van Wassenbergh?A．The cushioned brain.B．The clever design of the beak.C．The tiny size and weight of the brain.D．The rigid behavior of the head.4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A．Van Wassenbergh’s video has confirmed Lorna Gibson’ theory.B．Lorna Gibson supported Van Wassenbergh’s research.C．Lorna Gibson expected some brain injury of a woodpecker by the hits.D．The brain of a woodpecker is much smaller than that of a human.4. Easy Solutions to StressDoes stress often wear you down? It’s almost impossible to totally avoid stress, but the following tips will help you to get it u nder control so that it doesn’t take over your life.Rely on other peopleStudies of both animals and humans show that social contact can help you better respond to stress. 1 Avoid people who always need something without giving back or who are always short with you2Leave the house 15 minutes early for appointments, set up a system for paying your bills, refill your daily supplies a week ahead of time and buy birthday cards whenever you see ones you like. A little advance planning can spare you a lot of headaches!Keep a journalReflect on your day, your emotions and your personal goals. While writing them down, include everything that stresses you, so you can start to recognize what your problems are and take appropriate action. 3Cut your to-do list in halfMost of us set the bar too high. After you’ve written your to-do list, decide what’s most important to you in the long run, then cut the list in half. 4 . For example, hire a neighbourhood teenager to water your garden or skip cooking and order takeaway.Laugh a little5 Laughter also helps keep your heart, lungs and muscles healthy and build up your resistance(抵抗力). Plus, it’s nearly impossible to stay tense while you’re laughing. Therefore, find cartoons, videos or TV shows that make you laugh.5.

2021-2022学年浙江省湖州市高二(上)期末英语试卷(附答案详解)

2021-2022学年浙江省湖州市高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AA couple of weeks ago,my husband got a text asking him to help cut down a tree. "This is not the time of year to cut down trees," I said to my husband, "They are full of birds' nests.Wait until fall,until the baby birds have flown away."The tree didn't seem like an urgent issue to me or my husband,but it was worrying our neighbor and she wanted it gone.So,with some unwillingness and a chainsaw（链锯），my husband and our sons headed to our neighbor's house early Saturday morning.About an hour later,I got a phone call from my 14-year-old son.He spoke in a trembling voice,which made me worried.I grabbed my keys,expecting to be told to meet my husband and sons at the emergency room.But no,everyone was safe.My son said that birds' nests had fallen out of the tree and some baby birds had been hurt.So,I grabbed an old towel and a laundry basket.I put the birds in the basket and headed for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.The people there are not astounded to see worried people with laundry baskets containing injured animals.They sighed at my story—they had heard many stories like this.They knew exactly how to help these birds.I was relieved that the birds would be fine,but I was still upset they had been needlessly traumatized（使受精神创伤）.A lesson from this experience is that we need to look at the whole picture.We must behave in ways that help meet needs without causing harm to others,Our efforts to move through our lives with more gentleness and care may make a big difference for someone,whether it's a baby bird or a person.1.Why did the author disagree with cutting down the tree at first？______A. The tree was growing well.B. The tree caused her no trouble.C. The tree was home to some baby birds.D. The tree played a part in the ecosystem.2.The author's son spoke in a trembling voice because ______ .A. some little lives were hurtB. he worried about his father's safetyC. someone was sent to the hospitalD. he was unwilling to cut down the tree3.What does the underlined word "astounded" in paragraph 3 probably mean？______A. Frightened.B. Shocked.C. Prepared.D. Relaxed.4.What might be the best title for the text？______A. Treat Each Life EquallyB. Live in Harmony with NatureC. Give Our Neighbors a Hand in TimeD. Help Others without Hurting AnyoneBThe future of energy production is here and some of the materials used to supply the energy may surprise you!Companies have developed a way to turn plant wastes and other garbage into fuel.It has been called one of the most promising technologies in alternative energy.And the process is expected to become more common this year.The American-based company,Fiberight,is taking the lead in this new form of energy production.A great deal of garbage is sent to Fiberight's test plant in Southern Virginia.Old vegetables,cardboard boxes and other wastes become something much more valuable through the work done at the factory.The garbage is loaded into a huge pressure cooker.The material that comes out of the cooker is mostly cellulose （纤维素），a substance that can be made into sugar.The sugar can then be turned into ethanol （乙醇）.This year,several other fuel production plants are expected to start making ethanol from the cellulose in plant materials.Madhu Khanna is an agricultural economist at the University of Illinois.She said, "Making cellulosic ethanol turned out to be harder than expected.We know how to do that in a lab.The main problem is doing that continuously and massively." Ethanol production from cellulose has yet to meet expectations.However,this year could be the turning point.But Madhu Khanna explained, "Our cars may limit how much the industry can grow,Only a few models of automobiles can operate on high-ethanol fuel.Without more of them,there is only so much gas made from garbage that will sell."5.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about？______A. The benefit of making fuel from garbage.B. The great importance of alternative energy.C. Fiberight's way to turn wastes into ethanol.D. Fiberight's influence on the American energy market.6.Which of the following is the difficulty of making cellulosic ethanol？______A. The high cost.B. The low productivity.C. The high pollution risk.D. The long-term mass production.7.What does Madhu Khanna think of ethanol fuel made from cellulose？______A. It is cheap for most people.B. It is only suitable for cars.C. It is hard to be used widely at present.D. It is more environmentally friendly.CIn October,temperatures across China begin to drop.Do you experience a mood shift as it turns to winter？Many people do.For about one in 20 people in the northern half of the United States,cooling temperatures and shorter,darker days may signal the onset of seasonal affective disorder（季节性情绪失调），or SAD，a type of depression that typically arrives in the fall or winter,The New York Times reported.Not every mild blue feeling in winter is SAD.SAD symptoms（症状）make it difficult for people to function.It tends to start with an increased appetite for foods like French fries or ice cream,the eagerness to sleep longer hours,difficulty getting up in the morning and feeling wiped out at work,according to Wales Online.The exact cause of this disorder remains unknown.But the good news is that because SAD is tied to the changing seasons, "You can predict its onset and ward it off." Michael Terman,a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University,US，told The New York Times. "There's been a fair bit of research since about the 1980s supporting light therapy （疗法）as being effective for seasonal kinds of depression," psychotherapist Rakhi Chand told The Guardian.But she also advised using this type of therapy under the guidance of a professional. While light therapy is the first recommended treatment for SAD，getting outside regularly canoffer other opportunities to sink in some light.You might want to retreat like the hibernating bear,but don't, "Norman E，Rosenthal,the psychiatrist（精神病学家）whose research team identified and named the disorder in the 1980s,told The New York Times. "Walking outside even 20 or 30 minutes each day could make a huge difference," he added Therefore,outdoor activities like skiing or hiking are highly recommended.Also,instead of giving into sugar longing,it is important to choose foods that are known to boost mood such as dark chocolate,nuts,oatmeal and berries,according to Egypt Today.Too nervous to enter winter？Remember,SAD is seasonal.If winter comes,can spring be too far behind？8.Which of the following is a SAD symptom？______A. Having a reduced desire to eat.B. Finding it difficult to fall asleep.C. Waking up early in the morning.D. Having low or no energy at work.9.What is paragraph 6 mainly about？______A. The origin of light therapy.B. The benefits of light therapy.C. The definition of light therapy.D. Alternatives to light therapy.10.What is the main topic of this passage？______A. Seasonal sadness in winter.B. Increased appetite in winter.C. Longer sleep hours in winter.D. Decreased temperature in winter.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）In recent years,thrift shopping（买二手货）has become quite trendy.It's more than just a convenient way to keep costs down when it comes to shopping— "thrifting"is now considered cool.Read on to learn some benefits of thrift shopping▲ (1)It's not uncommon for us to see someone wearing the same dress or shirt that we own.But there is generally a lot of variety when shopping for second-hand clothing.Thrift shopping is like atreasure hunt.

AOne late summer evening, I stood in my father’s garden, watching my kids dig in the dirt with toy bulldozers（推土机）. I had driven up to my parents’ house that afternoon feeling upset My husband was working day and night, and my twins hadn’t napped. I was one step away from a complete breakdown.“Come up,” my mom said, “Let’s rest for a while.”As the day of temporary relaxation drew to a close, I took a walk around Dad’s once-neat garden rows and noticed the tomato plants Dad had planted.“Roma tomatoes, the kind for sauce. Remember when your mom used to make sauce?” my father said. I hadn’t thought of it in years actually. It was a recipe passed from my Italian immigrant great-grandmother down to my grandmother and then my mother. And that’s where it had stopped. Though I liked cookin g, I didn’t want to waste much time on the dish. Why should I simmer（慢慢地煮）tomato sauce all day when I could make different kinds of dishes?Dad gave me an idea. “I’m going to make sauce,” I said. My father raised a skeptical eyebrow but grabbed some boxes and told the kids to start picking. The twins threw tomatoes like softballs to each other as the youngest begged to join me. Everyone was crying at one point and I almost gave up on my big plan. Yet something inside me fought back, a deep-seated fancy for finding the link between the recipe’s owner and me.At last, I successfully finished my sauce and it was approved by my parents. The efforts I made with those boxes of tomatoes gave me a sense of accomplishment. Each crank of the handle（柄）, each slice of the knife, each stir of the pot was a prayer for comfort and confidence. Like most things that are worthwhile, the mess was part of the process.1. The author went to her parents ’house that afternoon to______.A. pay a visit to her parentsB. learn to cook tomato sauceC. let the kids play in her father’s gardenD. relieve herself from daily chores2. What does the underlined word “skeptical” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Encouraging.B. Pleased.C. Doubtful.D. Upset.3. What made the author continue her big plan?A. Her desire to follow a family tradition.B. The encouragement from her father.C. The expectation from the recipe’s owner.D. Her children’s requirement.4. What message does the story send?A. Where there is a will there is a way.B. Life is most beautiful when it is imperfect.C. All things will come round to who will wait.D. Ups and downs make one strong.〖答案〗1. D 2. C 3. A 4.

2022年大一英语期末考试试题

2022年大一英语期末考试试题2022年大一英语期末考试试题Part II Reading Comprehension (30%) (25 minutes)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Speech, the act of uttering sounds to convey meaning, is a kind of human action. Like any other constantly repeated action, speaking has to be learned, but once it is learned, it becomes a generally unconscious and apparently automatic process.As far as we can determine, human beings do not need to be forced to speak; most babies seem to possess a sort of instinctive drive to produce speech like noises. How to speak and what to say are another matter altogether. These actions are learned from the particular society into which the baby is born; so that, like all conduct that is learned from a society, from the people around us, speech is a patterned activity.The meandering babble and chatter of a young child are eventually channeled by imitation into a few orderly grooves that represent the pattern accepted as meaningful by the people around him. Similarly, a child’s indiscriminate practice of putting things into his mouth becomes limited to putting food into his mouth in a certain way.The sounds that a child can make are more varied and numerous第1页/共4页than the sounds that any particular language utilizes. However, a child born into a society with a pattern of language is encouraged to make a small selection of sounds and to make these few sounds over and over until it is natural for him to make these sounds and no others.21. What is the subject of the passage?A) How to make sounds.B) The origin of language.C) A child’s learning process of speaking.D) A baby’s sounds.22. A child’s chatter becomes speech when it ____.A) begins to follow meaningful patternsB) contains enough soundsC) becomes natural to himD) begins to be repeated23. The most important factor in a child’s learning to speak is probably____.A) instinct B) selection C) variety D) imitation24. Which of the following is NOT true about children?A) Most babies have an instinctive drive to make speech like noises.第2页/共4页B) A child can make more numerous sounds than those in any language.C) The society around a child determines what sounds will be considered meaningful.D) For a child, the process of speaking usually involves unconscious actions.25. We may say that a child has learned to speak if he_______.A) makes varied soundsB) carefully considers each sounds he makesC) makes only certain sounds naturallyD) imitates people around himQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent---the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground and other sources. But unfortunately, some of it has been polluted and is unfit for drinking.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly—almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. So we all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water.第3页/共4页One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of re-using water. Today in most large cities water is used only once and then discharged. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying plant, and then it can be used again.文档内容到此结束，欢迎大家下载、修改、丰富并分享给更多有需要的人。

浙江省湖州市2021-2022学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题(wd无答案)一、阅读理解(★★★)1. One late summer evening, I stood in my father’s garden, watching my kids dig in the dirt with toy bulldozers（推土机）. I had driven up to my parents’ house that afternoon feeling upset My husband was working day and night, and my twins hadn’t napped.

The efforts I made with those boxes of tomatoes gave me a sense of accomplishment. Each crank of the handle（柄）, each slice of the knife, each stir of the pot was a prayer for comfort and confidence. Like most things that are worthwhile, the mess was part of the process.【题1】The author went to her parents ’house that afternoon to______.A．pay a visit to her parents B．learn to cook tomato sauceC．let the kids play in her father’s garden D．relieve herself from daily chores【题2】What does the underlined word “skeptical” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Encouraging.B．Pleased.C．Doubtful.D．Upset.【题3】What made the author continue her big plan?A．Her desire to follow a family tradition.B．The encouragement from her father.C．The expectation from the recipe’s owner.D．Her children’s requirement.【题4】What message does the story send?A．Where there is a will there is a way.B．Life is most beautiful when it is imperfect. C．All things will come round to who will wait.D．Ups and downs make one strong.(★★★)2. We are all aware of the effect greenhouse gas emissions (排放) is having on our planet and the efforts needed to protect the earth. Most of us are doing our bit to reduce our influence or the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough to achieve net zero by 2050?Net zero means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many countries are doing their bit by changing how they produce and use power to cut down carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) output. And they announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow (格拉斯哥气候峰会).In the UK, the government has been setting out its plans to achieve net zero by 2050. It’s recently announced an end date for the sale of gas boilers, which are used for heating homes. The idea is to replace them with heat pumps. It’s offering homeowners up to £5, 000 to replace them. Another plan in the UK is a big push towards electric cars. More charging points are to be added in streets, and no new petrol cars will be sold by 2030.But not all emissions can be reduced to zero, so there should be other ways to make up for it. One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees, which are good at taking in carbon dioxide. The UK government has promised to plant 30, 000 hectares of trees a year by 2025. Other ideas can work too, but what’s certain is this will cost money. The CBI’s (英国工业联合会) Tom Thackray told the BBC,“those costs have to be weighed up against the cost of doing nothing.”Whether the UK, or anyone else, reaches net zero is yet to be seen. And there’s some doubt about how this can be accurately measured anyway. But it’s generally recognised that a global effort is needed to protect the environment. Therefore, net zero targets only make sense if every other country is moving in the same direction.【题1】It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A．people are doing enough to reduce the amount of green gasB．gas boilers must be replaced by the end of 2030 in the UKC．Tom Thackray believed the UK government is wasting moneyD．it might be difficult to judge whether the UK reaches net zero【题2】What’s the writer’s attitude towards net zero targets?A．Negative.B．Subjective.C．Objective.D．Supportive.【题3】What’s the best title for the passage?A．Achieving Net Zero Target Together B．Protecting the EnvironmentC．Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions D．Planting More Trees Together(★★★)3. Practice doesn’t always make perfect when it comes to becoming the next Mozart, a new study suggests. Researchers compared pairs of identical twins, and found that no matter how hard one twin had practised, the other twin who had practiced much less still had an equal level of ability in certain musical skills. This may be because some aspects of musical talent are built into the genes (基因), the researchers said.Miriam Mosey, a scientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and her team looked at the DNA of 1, 211 pairs of adult identical twins, who share almost 100 percent of their genes. Identical twins are born from the same single egg and often look very similar in appearance. They also examined the DNA of 1,358 pairs of fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎), who share an average of 50 percent of their genes. Those who played a musical instrument or sang reported how many years they practiced, and for howmany hours a week.Mosey then tested their musical abilities to see if practice had an effect on ability. She looked at how well people could tell differences in pitch (音调).Like most people, Mosey used to think that those who put in more practice time would earn higher scores on their ability than those who practiced less. But when she compared lifetime practice scores with musical abilities between identical twins, Mosey found no relationship between the amount of practice time and her level of musical ability. Two twins could have an equal level of musical ability, no matter how much more one twin practiced compared with the other.The researchers concluded that genetics play a larger role than practice in certain aspects of musical talent.Mosey and her colleagues made another interesting finding: Genes may determine a person’s motivation (动机) to practice. The majority of participants who reported practicing a lot also shared a high percentage of the same genes.【题1】What do you know about identical twins?A．They often look different.B．They are usually very alike.C．They share same interests.D．They share 100 percent of their genes.【题2】Which will Mosey and her colleagues agree with?A．Those who practice more will have higher musical ability.B．Fraternal twins have more musical talent than identical twins.C．Those who practice more are likely to have similar genes.D．Twins may obtain similar musical ability if they practice enough.【题3】You may find this passage in a（n）___________.A．education magazine B．scientific magazine C．social report D．medical report二、七选五(★★★)4. In a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success inthe workplace than they had expected when they were in school.【题1】 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are working when an idea is created. It can also be considered as something that can’t be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind.One misunderstanding about creativity is that it is just for some special people. This is not true. 【题2】 Another is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’t true creativity relates to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.Those who see things differently from others and try to make their ideas a reality are the ones who make the greatest changes in the world. Therefore, it is important that schools do not prevent creativity. 【题3】 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. 【题4】It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with creativity when this is actually the most important time in history for it. People used to study hard, go to university, and get a job. That was it. But now, everyone works hard, goes to university and there aren’t the jobs out there that ensure a safe future. 【题5】 We can use it to set ourselves apart and channel it to face the challenges of the future.A．Everyone can be creative.B．Creativity is connected with many aspectsC．However, creativity can be acquired at any age.D．Instead, they should work to grow and exercise it. E．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.F．Without creativity, we can’t set ourselves apart from others.G．They need to learn to see problems as opportunities for learning rather than something unsuccessful.三、完形填空(★★★)5. If you are a new person in a new school, it is ______ to feel shy. However, it is unusual to stay shy the whole year and ______ to make any new friends. Here are several skills that help you ______ shyness and build new friendships.As soon as you ______ the gate of your new school, try to appear easy to get along with by smiling ______ .
