He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terribletroubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.24. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shopping.B. Find a house.C. Join his family.D.

Now, it’s almost mainstream —exhibitions of nerd culture fill convention halls, comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster movies, and more.“It has made being a nerd less of an isolating experience, and more of a community experience because you’re connecting with other people who have that shared interest,” she said.Holladay, the co-curator(副馆长), spoke up in a meeting about what the coming exhibition season would look like. “I knew of another nerdy exhibition that had happened in LA recently... and I just thought ‘you know, I bet there are nerdy artists on the (Olympic) Peninsula and in Washington who have really quality work, where the subject matter might not fit into most exhibits’,” she said.And she wasn’t surprised when they received plenty of recommendations. “My theory was that nerds are everywhere,” she said. “Once I got in touch with the right people, everyone was coming out of the woodwork.”The exhibit features comic art, and things like Pokemon cards arranged in a collage(拼贴画). One work invites viewers to imagine the unique talents and abilities they have as superpowers they bring to the world. Holladay says the evolution of the idea of nerd culture has been positive over the past several years.28. What is Sarah Jane’s attitude towards “nerds”?A. Neutral.B. Critical.C. Appreciative.D. Uncaring.29. Which of the following contributes most to the popularity of nerd culture?A. People’s varying views of nerd.B. Movies’ great influence upon people.C. The sufferings people have gone through.D. The Internet connecting people with shared interests.30. What does the underlined expression “coming out of the woodwork” mean ?A. Springing out.B. Getting out of the woods.C. Rushing outside.D. Expecting high quality of work.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The exhibition shows how being a “nerd” becomes good.B. The nerd culture is always evolving positively.C. Many unusual exhibitions are scheduled.D. Another different culture appears recently.DIt’s been discovered that the world’s rarest seal(稀有海豹) uses hidden caves on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus to breed(繁殖) out of sight from humans. Scientists say the caves should now be protected to help the rare Mediterranean monk seals.Researchers from the University of Exeter and the society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT), set up cameras in eight caves in northern Cyprus to monitor the monk seal population.The cameras are started by movement, so they start recording when something passes by. Between 2016 and 2019, the researchers found that three of the caves were used for breeding. One monk seal raised babies three years in a row in the same cave.There are only around 700 Mediterranean monk seals left in the wild and the species is listed as endangered. In the past, they used beaches along the north coast of Cyprus to breed but human activities such as tourism have gradually forced them to move elsewhere. In 2007, a survey identified 39 possible breeding caves. It was only in 2013, however, that a young seal was spotted in the area around the caves. This confirmation that seals were breeding in the area inspired the team to set up their special cameras in 2016. Knowing about these breeding caves will help experts to track the seal population more accurately.The researchers now w ant to give the seals in the area better protection. They’re hoping to make arrangements with local fishermen who set their fishing nets near the caves, which not only takes food from the seals but also risks catching the animals by mistake. The scientists would also like to protect the caves themselves from any nearby building developments. “The main breeding site we identify in this study currently has no protected status, and we are working with local authorities to try to change this,” said Dr. Robin Sn ape of the University of Exeter.32. Why do seals breed in caves?A. To save energy.B. To avoid human activities.C. To get food.D. To adapt to weather change.33. What encourages the team to set up cameras?A. Hidden caves in Cyprus.B. Support from local authorities.C. The fact of seals breeding in the area.D. Building developments near beaches.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It talks about worries about seals.B. It tells us the public’s expectations.C. The researchers and scientists are trying to find ways to protect seals.D. The fishermen’s daily activities are protected.35. Which is Not true according to the text?A. The rarest seal uses caves to breed without being found by humans.B. The researchers use cameras in eight caves to monitor the monk seal population.C. Local fishermen probably catch the seals by mistake.D. The local authorities are taking action to protect the endangered seals.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

On the second day, we won two matches 2-0.9)_______ ______ our teamwork, we succeeded in the fourth match as well. Everybody fought with all of their strength and energy during the game. It was at that moment that I realized it is important to appreciate your teammates, but it is equally important to learn to cheer for the other team.During the competition, I remembered 10) _______had happened the year before. When I was told that I had only been chosen as a substitute for the first team, my pride made me say no and join the second team. After Volleyball Month last fall, I got enthusiastic about volleyball and wanted to improve my ability enough to play for the first team. I joined the school volleyball team, which gave us professional training. I’m aware that I was not born good at it, but I have spent a lot of time working on my skills with great energy.Finally, I made the first team this year.BFor you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April 11)________ be no more than just another holiday – the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students much more than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms.But the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has recognized the importance of the 24 solar terms. This ancient system that Chinese people have used to keep track of the time of year 12)________ ( add ) to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Nov 30.To be fair, the terms do sound old; they were invented thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural activities.

Instead, the system is a philosophy of time, 20)_______ applies to everything. And this means they are unlikely to die out.Part II.

They are just asked to drink a special drink to balance their yin and yang.25)________ known as liangcha, it is a drink made from herbs, not a tea. The drink usually includes honeysuckle (金银花), chrysanthemum (菊花) and wild tuckahoe (茯苓) to balance the heat from what people eat and drink and their surroundings.Drinking herbal tea is a tradition in the Lingnan region, and it is found largely in Guangdong and Guangxi. Dried tangerine peel (陈皮) is another herb the region feels proud of, as it is shown in The Tale of Chinese Medicine. “There are three 26)_______ in Guangdong – dried tangerine peel, old ginger (姜) and straw (禾秆草),” the Cultural China website 27)_______. “But 100-year-old tangerine peel is considered more valuable than gold.”The longer the tangerine peel has been 28)________, the more expensive it becomes.

However, they mig ht not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15 percent. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with 31)________ such as Nike and with many champion athletes.

Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were 34)_______ about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages 35)________ that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are 36)_______. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Different effectsKarageorgh is’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis saidthat people who have extroverted (外向的) personalities prefer faster and louder kinds of music 37)________ to people who have a reserved personality. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of extroverted people need more 38)________ than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK, and which has also now started in other countries. “I also have lots of other exciting39)_________ that I am working on,” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the40)_______ of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate whi le we exercise.Part III. Reading 2’x4At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. ________________41________________However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. ______________42___________The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until hetold me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don’t think it’s the right fit.”I must have looked confused. “You’re ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful,” my boss said. “But you haven’t made enough of an effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won’t work long term, and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to let your guard down.”_____________43___________ But I knew my boss was right. They knew when they hired me that I had no experience in finance reporting, yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last, after I had heard everyone else’s suggestions. I did it to show th at I was a listener, but also to hide my fears. They had liked the person who walked into the interview, and they didn’t respect me when I hid that person from them.“Don’t leave before you leave.” _____________44_____________ Because we work so hard for s uccess, we don’t like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a full time job, I “leaned back” in order to not show too much of myself or my lack of expertise. I learned the hard way that it i sn’t the way to achieve your goals.Part IV.1’x 1245. 习惯做某事_________________________ 46.款待自己_________________________ 47. 丧失信心_________________________ 48.首屈一指_________________________ 49. 很可能… __________________________ 50. 打一场硬仗_______________________ 51. 把脉___________________________ 52. 旨在… ________________________ 53. 内向性格__________________________ 54. 散发着不同气味___________________ 55. 在…缺乏经验______________________ 56. 专业技能不足________________________ End____Key to Newspaper Quiz 657Part I.A. 1) stretching 2) that 3) about 4) while 5) of6) that/which 7) the most likely 8) as 9) Thanks to 10）WhatB. 11)might/may 12)was added 13) even if 14) between 15) following16) since/because 17) in 18) themselves 19) no matter how 20) whichPart II.21) B, BD, AC, AD, ABC / C, BC, A, D, AB31)B, AC, C, AD, D, / BC, BD, ABC, CD, APart III.41-44) E, C, A, BPart IV.45) in the habit of doing 46) treat oneself to a big feast 47) lose heart 48) be second to none49) Chances are that…50) fight a tough battle51) take pulses 52) aim to do53) a reserved personality 54) give off different smells 55) have no experience in 56) lack of expertise。

ARecently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitu de from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to intrude(打扰)on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.11. Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A. He built shelters for them.B. He gave immediate first aid to them.C. He came to stay with them.D. He brought mental health professionals.12. What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Heavy but warm.B. A little sad but comfortable.C. Relaxing and delightful.D. Very serious and unhappy.13. What has the author learned from his experience?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Being present can make a big difference.C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.BWe all know a picky eater (挑食者) or two, or maybe you’re the picky eater, avoidi ng food adventures at all costs, because you’re convinced you’ll hate whatever new and bad-looking food is put on your plate. But why is it that some people are picky eaters while others are willing to try pretty much anything that can be eaten?There’s no single explanation for the picky eating habit. Picky eaters are typically unwilling to try new foods, which can be the result of your DNA and the way you are treated and educated when you are young. Marcia Pelchat, Ph.D., a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia who specializes in food preferences in humans, tells China Daily, “A group in FinlandCThe trouble of having to charge your smart phone for hours a day could become a thing of the past.British scientists have created a material that replaces the screen glass for phones, i-pad and smartwatches, but uses no power—meaning that they could be charged weekly. The discovery is important because more than 90 percent of a device’s battery power illuminates (照亮)the screen.Technology firms have focused on improving battery life. But the British experts say dealing with the main power-using may give better results. Oxford University engineer Dr Peiman Hosseini, father of the material, told t he Sunday Telegraph, “You have to charge smartwatches each night. But if you had smart glass, you could recharge it just once a week.”The invention uses electrical pulses to create displays that require no power and can be viewed even in direct sunlight. Dr Hosseini’s company, Bodle Technologies, hopes to have a prototype(样机)in a year.Battery life is seen as a major obstruction for modern computing and technology. While thepower of technology and lifestyle gadgets has improved rapidly in recent years, batteries have not kept pace. The success of smart watches, including Apple’s version, is thought to depend on solving this problem because few users are willing to charge a watch every day.Gadget firms are also desperate to solve the problem.Apple, for example, is investigating using fuel cells to power its phones and laptops, and this year had gained a patent for a system that it claimed could power its gadget for weeks.In 2012 US energy secretary Steven Chu called for a big push to improve batteries, challenging scientists to produce a battery with five times the capacity within five years.Aside from mobile gadgets, improving battery technology is seen as key to the success of electric cars, which currently have a limited journey before they must stop to be recharged.17. Who invented the new material?A. Energy secretary.B. Apple Corps.C. Oxford University engineer.D. Technology firms.18 What can we know about the invention?A. It is a kind of glass.B. It is popular with customers.C. It has gained a patent.D. It uses power to charge the phones.19. The author uses the example of Apple in Paragraph 7 to show ________.A. what the key to success isB. why Apple products are popularC. how often batteries must be rechargedD. how gadget firms are making efforts to improve batteries20. What can be inferred from the passage?A. 90% of batteries will be replaced with smart glass.B. It is likely that mobile phones will be recharged once a week.C.

AShenzhen is a shopping paradise for visitors. Following is a list of the most popular shopping areas in the city.◊ North Huaqiang AreaThe most prosperous shopping area in Shenzhen, it is home to dozens of market places for electronic products, home appliances, timepieces, clothing and jewelry. Some market places each house hundreds of shops, from flagship stores selling big brands to small boutiques where you can bargain.It is also a great place to dine, with plenty of restaurants offering various Chinese cuisines and foreign brands like Pizza Hut, Hagen Daas and AijiSen.◊ Dongmen AreaOne of the oldest commercial centers in Shenzhen, this area highlights a walking street flanked by humming stores.

You can also find quite a few foreign restaurant brands here, including Pizza Hut, Starbucks and a Japanese noodle house.◊ ShekouSitting by a beautiful cove in western Nanshan District, this quiet place is frequented by many expatriates living in Shenzhen. There are stores selling antiques, collectibles, handicrafts and souvenirs, as well as bars and restaurants offering Western food.1. What can you do at North Huaqiang Area?A. Skate.B. See a film.C.

Where does this passage probably come from?A. A travel magazine.B. A museum guide.C. A text book.D. A news report.BA law was passed last month in San Francisco, California to protect shelter pets. The city now requires pet stores to sell dogs and cats from shelters and rescue groups only and bans the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats, and puppies under 8 weeks old, by pet stores in the city.San Francisco will not be the first US city to take such a measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and Austin all passed similar laws to help more rescued pets find homes.“Most animal lovers are not willing to keep their family pet in a dirty c age for a second — let alone a week, month or even years,’’ the San Francisco Board of Supervisors wrote. “In response, more than 200 cities and counties across the nation have banned the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores.”Each year, shelters across the US take in more than 7 million dogs and cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). About 2.6 million of those animals don’t get adopted and are put to sleep. “There are so many shelter animals that need lovin g homes,’’ says the lawmaker Katy Tang.Meanwhile, most dogs and cats seen in pet shop windows come from breeders who sell them to the stores. Many breeders take good care of their animals. But some breeders raise hundreds of animals at a time in dirty spaces. The animals often go without enough food or water, or proper medical treatment.Tang says San Francisco’s new law is meant to send a message to any breeder who treats animals cruelly.4. What do we know about the new law?A. It was passed last month in Los Angeles.B. Puppies under 8 weeks old can be sold by pet stores.C. It aimed to protect pets from shelters and rescue groups.D. Pet stores can only sell non-rescue dogs and cats.5. Which of the following cities was not mentioned to pass the law to help rescued pets?A. Chicago.B. Austin.C. San Francisco.D. Las Vegas.6. What does the underlined word “breeders” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Sellers.B. Keepers.C. Protectors.D. Hunters.7. What can we infer about dogs and cats in pet stores?A. Some of them lived in a poor condition before being sold to the pet stores.B. Most of them are from breeders who sell them to the pet stores.C. The sale of them is banned in most cities and counties across the nation.D. Most of them are adopted and put to sleep.CThe Chinese have a saying: “Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life.A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea so its importance is obvious.For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment effect.Tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea wares should match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.Tea is compared to personal character. Its fragrance is not aggressive; it is pleasant, low-keyed and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white porcelain cup, you will feel peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away. It is the symbol of elegance.Similarly, tea-drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Roughly, scented tea is popular in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is optimum for people in Fujian and Guangdong.Notably, Yum Cha (tea drinking) is very popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Though dim sum, the true highlight of Yum Cha, is what attracts gourmets, tea is an essential part of the meal.8. Why does the writer use the Chinese saying in the first paragraph?A. Prove tea is the last.B. Express his love for China.C. Explain the Chinese saying.D. Show the tea’s importance.9. What is the goal of Chinese culture?A. Develop traditional culture.B. Drink as much tea as possible.C. The harmonious unity of human and nature.D. The combination of the east and west culture.10. What tea does a person from Guangdong probably like drinking according to the passage?A. Green tea.B. Black tea.C. Scented tea.D. Oolong tea.11. Which of the followings can be the best title for the passage?A. Tea culture in ChinaB. How to drink teaC. Tea-drinking habits in ChinaD. Tea and characterDThe way in which people in Latin America spend their money changes from country to country. It obviously depends on the economy (经济). It’s not sensible to compare economies such as those of Argentina, Colombia or Mexico. As they are not the same, consumers spend their money in different ways. There are many articles online about consumption habits in Latin America that show statistics; however, many of them just refer to the crisis (危机) and how bad the economy is.In Argentina for example, due to the fact that there aren’t many ways to get a loan (贷款) and because of their cost, Argentineans prefer to buy cars. They invest their money in electrical appliances. They also spend a good part of their salaries on leisure: going out to dinner, to the movies or to the theater.In Colombia, “plata”, which is an informal word for money, is used to buy houses. It doesn’t matter if you already have one, you can always buy a second one and rent it. Cars are also a very attractive option to spend money on; however, the most important thing is a house. Some people also spend their money on education: bachelor’s degrees, master’s programs, doctorates and so on. Recently, some Colombian people have decided to spend their money on something else: surgery (手术). The most common ones are to improve their nose, to lose some weight and also to gain weight in specific areas.Mexican people spend their money on houses and education as well, and some on cars after that. Nonetheless, it’s also important to mention fun and going out for dinner. Some people say that they spend lots of money in restaurants.However, be aware that thos e are just some general consumption habits in Latin America; it doesn’t mean that people there only spend their money on those things.12. What is the purpose of the article?A. To show how the economy influences consumption habits.B. To explore consumption habits in Latin America.C.

河南省焦作市沁阳市高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题（word版含答案，无听力试题）沁阳市高级中学高二9月月考英语试卷阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）AAs an important part of Three Parallel Rivers Scenic Area, Potatso National Park（Pudacuo National Park）is famous for lush（草木繁茂的）mountains, meadows（草地）, lakes, rare animals and Tibetan culture. About a 50-minute drive from downtown Shangri-La, the park contains three main parts: Shudu Lake Scenic Area, Bitahai Lake Scenic Area, and Militang Alpine Pasture. You can reach them by the tourist bus from the park entrance.Traveling around the park can be quite relaxing if you take the bus to see each scenic area one by one. Wooden boardwalks along the lakes allow you an easy walk as you take in the beautiful lake views and the surrounding mountain scenery. Or you can take a boat trip on the lakes for a more relaxing scenic experience.If you want more of a challenge, there are also some short hiking routes in the park. Horse riding is also available in the park.Route one: Walk from Lourong Village to Jieti Waterfall—about 2.2 km, taking about 50 minutes. You will see beautiful river views alongside the path.Route two: Shudu Lake North Shore Pier to Tibetan Culture Experience Area—about 3 km, taking about 1.5 hours. You can see the primeval（原始的）forest and enjoy Tibetan culture during this hiking trip.Suitable for: nature lovers, hikers.Access: Shangri-La is about a 6-hour flight from Beijing.Best time to visit: The weather is comfortable from May to September and the meadows are full of blooming wild flowers.Recommended visit time: a half day for the park, but 3 days are suggested for a Shangri-La trip. You can also extend the trip to Lijiang and Meili Snow Mountain, which are both within 4 hours' driving.21、What is the park famous forA. New temples and historical sites.B.

From May to September.D. From October to November.BLast fall, I went to New York for sightseeing. I visited many tourist attractions there, and I also saw many unfortunate citizens on the street, like beggars and homeless folks.Standing outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I heard a voice ask, "Can you do me a favor " When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended out. Naturally, I reached into my pocket for some change immediately and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was really annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. What I only thought at that moment was to send her away.But the blind woman said with a warm smile on her face, "I don't want your money. I just need you to show me the way to the subway entrance."In an instant, I realized what I had done just now. Her unexpected words took me by surprise and shame. I had acted with prejudice—I'd judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I felt ashamed of myself and couldn't face the old woman anymore. And I felt smallbeside her.The incident reminded me that I believed in being humble, even though I had lost that belief for a moment. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the U. S. at the age of 15. Through the years, I have experienced many acts of prejudice.I remember a time at the age of 17 when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to go. It is the blind woman who cured me of my blindness.24、What did the author think the blind woman wanted at frst sightA. To ask for directions.B. To offer him some helpC. To demand some donations.D. To borrow money from him.25、Why did the author feel ashamedA. He had a prejudice on the woman.B. He couldn't face the woman.C. He was judged by his appearance.D. He was an immigrant himself.26、Why did the author mention his experience as a busboyA. To indicate he led a miserable lifeB. To tell he didn't work hard at schoolC. To prove he used to be a humble man.D. To show he used to be unfairly judged.27、What is the best title for the textA. Be Considerate-Always Minding Your WordsB. Be Humble-Always Dropping Your PrejudiceC. Be Generous-Always Helping Those in NeedD. Be Aggressive-Always Having a Big DreamCThe drone（无人机）is flying above the Amazon River in Brazil, but its battery is running low. Andre Coelho, the chief pilot, guides it back to safety with skills perfected by playing video games. Long hours' practicing has become a surprising benefit in an effort to conserve dolphins that live in the river. Marcelo Oliveira, a conservation specialist, stands on the bow of a boat. He pulls the white drone from the air, changes the battery, and quickly sends it back in the sky.Later, scientists will examine the video which has recorded for signs of the two species of dolphins that inhabit the river: the pink and bulbous boto（亚马孙河豚）, and the smaller, prettier tucuxi（白海豚）. Exactly how many live in the basin is a mystery. Some studies have suggested a decline of the pink dolphins in specific areas of the Amazon River, but the International Union for Conservation of Nature（IUCN）says there isn't enough data available for either species of dolphins."We need to base everything on hard data," says Miriam Marmontel, ascientist. "We need to focus on what's really critical to help us get to a real situation that can influence policy. We need numbers. We need information on death and reproduction.Marmontel's biggest concern is that dolphins are being caught in the nets of local fishermen. Scientists have also given a warning against fishermen's killing botos. Pollution from gold mining is also a concern. The scientists want to use the information they collect to persuade the IUCN to list the boto and the tucuxi as endangered species. Funding agencies and governments want evidence. Without the IUCN's categorization, it's difficult to raise the money for protection measures. They hope their drone monitoring will do the trick. During three trips to the Amazon last year, the team has recorded about 70 samples（样本）that will contribute to a more accurate estimate of dolphin populations in the Amazon basin.28、What are Coelho and Oliveira doing in the Amazon RiverA. Testing the drone they designed for fun.B. Recording the video of the flowing river.C. Collecting data on dolphins with a drone.D. Playing a video game29、What can make Miriam Marmontel worry most according to the textA. The fishermen's living conditions.B. The money for protection measures.C. he pollution from the gold mining.D. The dolphins being caught by fishermen.30、What is the purpose of the drone monitoringA. To raise money to protect the Amazon basin.B. To find evidence for the need to take measuresC To urge governments to record Amazon species.D. To get an exact number of species in the Amazon.31、What is the author's attitude to the drone monitoring in the textA. Indifferent.B. NegativeC. Approving.D. Unclear.DA small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors（肿瘤）or inaccessible areas within the human body.Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins（穿山甲）. It is constructed with so and magnetic（磁性的）materials, allowing the robot to change its shape. To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot's metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that therobot's body temperature could be over 70℃.In addition, the researchers used the robot's heat to deliver substances within a simulated（模拟的）stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.Soon, his team also tested the robot's ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig's stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot's temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.32、What can we infer about the small robotA. It has been put into use.B. It is mainly used to deliver goods.C. It draws inspiration from the natural world.D. It can't be used without adding hard elements.33、How do the researchers make the robot change shapeA. By using heat.B. By using magnets.C. By using radiation.D. By using chemicals.34、What does the underlined word "halt" in paragraph 5 meanA. Stop.B. Challenge.C. Evaluate.D. Explore.35、Which can be the best title for the textA. A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In MedicineB. Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out HeatC. A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver GoodsD. Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure Tumors第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）If you need to interview someone for an article but you have never interviewed before, it can be frightening. Here are some tips for preparing for and conducting a successful interview.36.

AI think machine power is better than human power because we cannot survive without our daily used machines like bikes, coolers, computers, etc. Started on 14-Apr-2008 By SmithE-mail:*******************Johnson6-May-2008 Yes, it’s very clear that machine power is better than man power. But machine power has its limitations (局限). It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. If it doesn’t have these two then it is completely useless. So man should not completely depend on machines. One more point is that because of the use of machines man has become lazy. This laziness has brought in many problems like obesity, arthritis (关节炎) and other health problems. But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I can’t think of life without a car, a computer and a cooler.Sally9-May-2008 Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To do the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power.Tina17-May-2008 But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly then one must have expert labor or man power.Tommy19-May-2008 Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more com-pared to machines.Mike20-May-2008 I think human power is better than machine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise.1. Who agrees with Smith generally?A. Tommy.B. Tina.C. Sally.D. Johnson.2. According to Johnson, man should ______.A. completely depend on machine powerB. keep a balance between human power and machine powerC. turn from machine power to man power completelyD. live a life without a car, a computer or a cooler3. Sally thinks that human power is better than machine power because ______.A. machines are useless without electricityB. machine power can make people become lazyC. machines can’t think like human beingsD. human brain can do things quickly4. Which of the following questions are the speakers talking about in the passage?A. Will machine power defeat human power?B. Which is better, human power or machine power?C. What limitations does machine power have?D. Will machines think in the future?BOne sixth of undergraduates (本科生) in Beijing this year have registered at a driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade , will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so .Training costs have dropped to 2,600yuan for students , according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing . The price is not really low , but students will accept it , seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future . Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job . But a driver’s permit has become another factor.“In the job market , owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position ,” says Zhou Yang , an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law .Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years , and it’s difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time . “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive . We senior students have plenty of sparetime , plenty of opportunities to learn.”Xu Jian , an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious , and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn . In this driving school, middle-aged people , young women and college students are the main customers .To get a driver’s permit , a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test .5．The undergraduates are learning to drive because _________ .A．they like to drive cars B．most of them will be able to buy cars in the futureC．they need this skill to find a good job . D．they want to become full-time drivers after graduation6．Which of the following is Xu Jian’s opinion of students learning to drive A．He decided it was a waste of money and time . B．He thought they must learn it at school .C．He thought they would spend three times more time .D．He agreed that young people had an advantage in learning to drive . 7．Which of the following would be the best title of this passage ?A．Students Learn to Drive B．Welcome to Driving SchoolC．It’s Better to Learn to Drive at College D．Students Pay Less to Learn to Drive NowCMost children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes tothe latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw —parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!8. The passage is meant for ______.A. childrenB. parentsC. teachersD. net bar owners9. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. The chat language is strange to adults.B. The Internet is no good for children.C. Children shouldn’t chat so much online.D. The Internet is a good place for children.10. In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for themB. teach them to use correct net wordsC. surf the Internet together with themD. forbid them to use the Internet11. If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may use ______.A. bbfnB. lolC. pawD. cul8erDWe were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle – aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, “You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a band (乐队)?” We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, “Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?” Tim said, “Yes.” So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse (倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn’t know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman’s voice came over his loudspeaker, He said, “Ladiesand gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.12.

Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters- a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina's government protested the family's detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren't safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky's father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. Whenthe agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he'd learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky's cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France's Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. "I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths- I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color."4.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?A.To provide an apartment building for painters .B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.C.To make fake identities for all families.D.To train students to operate laboratories.5.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?A. He was sent to a concentration camp.B. He moved to live in Argentina.C. He was swiftly sent on to die.D. He protested his family's detention6.Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky ?A. Enthusiastic and gentle.B. Expressive and humble.C. Disciplined and modest.D. Courageous and helpful.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.COn January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance Wa（r 抗击新型肺炎战），the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.8.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because .A.children may be infected by virusB.they don’t like the idea of online learningC.children’s study may be affectedD.parents have no time to look after children9.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A.To keep playing online games.B.To keep touching different people.C.To do some physical exercise outside.D.To teach children about health knowledge.10.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.planB. stopC. growthD. change11.What’s the best title for this passage?A.ASpecial Way to Learn at HomeB.ANew War with a New ChangeC.AWay to Keep Mentally HealthyD.AMethod to Make Parents UnworriedDMoney might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.After harvesting, each piece is planned( 刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.12.The first paragraph mainly serves as .A. commentB. praiseC. introductionD. background13.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture .A. while serving as a gardenerB. while relaxing at homeC. w hile studying in CaliforniaD. when he grow up14.What plays a key role in growing furniture?A. Rich imagination.B. Perfect d esign.C. Large irrigation.D. Hard work.15.The passage is probably taken from .A. an essayB. a reportC. a novelD. a diary第⼆节（共5 ⼩题；每⼩题2 分，满分10 分）根据短⽂内容，从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

高二英语周周练试题阅读理解：AMy three-year-old granddaughter fell from her bike onto the road before I could catch her. Emily lay there for a moment, guessing her chances of survival. Finding the chances were in her favor, she sat upwith a smile that quickly turned into tears when she saw the blood on her knee. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort as I carried her into the house to mend her hurt.With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment on her knee. I kissed her cheek. ―All better now, sweetie?‖―No, Grandma, you must say the Mommy words,‖she said. I quickly ran a list of Mommy words through my mind: Please? Thank you?I love you? ―You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me all better.‖Emily took a deep breath and recited (朗诵), ―A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love.‖My mind raced and I remembered. It was the same little song that I had said to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the gentle love of her mother and the ―Mommy words‖that made all bad things go away and only the good remain. Hearing it now, I realized that though I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers —we were connected at the heart.I heard my grandmother’s, my mother’s, my daughter’s, my granddaughter’s, and my own voice mixing through time.―Don’t cry, Grandma.

In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth and his works show the life of Chinese people as well as the country’s unique culture and folk customs. Mo Yan is known as a productive writer. In addition to his novels, he has published many short stories and essays on various topics. Despite his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the most famous contemporary authors. Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French, Japanese and many other languages.The awarding ceremony has been held on December 10.

An Introduction to Nobel PrizeDWhat makes a gift special？Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value？What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower，a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me sinceI was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，I knew I had given the perfect gift.13．The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was______.A．doing shoppingB．having a debateC．reading a messageD．leaving for Wyoming14．The author's inspiration for the gift came from ______.A．a photo of a flowerB．a story about a kidC．a call from the motherD．a text about Christmas15．The author made the gift by ______.A．searching for the poems onlineB．drawing the background by handC．painting the letters in three colorsD．matching the words with pictures第二节完形填空阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
