2020-2021学年揭阳市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案

2020-2021学年揭阳市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMy mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch even when life separated them.Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several months living with her family inseedymotels.I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond them.The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot — this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚) into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only in the presence of her best friend.Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.1. What does the underlined word “seedy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. largeB. dirtyC. urbanD. bright2. The author’s mother and Martha had a lasting friendship partly because they________.A. were willing to shareB. were constantly in touchC. had much in commonD. had a likeness in personality3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the importance of friendship.B. To express his gratitude to his mother.C. To share his standard of choosing a friend.D.

My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools.

Robotics Is Never DullCThe British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city's poetry scene was lacking．His obsession（痴迷）for starting poetryevents led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May 2015．“At that time，the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun，”Byrne says．While some of Beijing's literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019，Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers，as well as musicians and others in the creative scene．Byrne describes the Spittoon Collective as a platform for people to share ideas，from literary works to different forms of art，with projects developing from the creative energy within the community．Spittoon originally started as a poetry night at the Mado Bar in Dongcheng District 's Baochao Hutong．Byrne says，“In Beijing，you have these wonderful hutongs，ancient structures where you can walk down and visit cool bars，so I thought it would be good to have a poetry event as it seemed like poetry belonged naturally to this area．”He adds，“The objective now is to discover Chinese voices and broadcast them to the rest of the world．We create a kindof theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art form．”The readings would mainly be in English，but with an international community，a new section called“Poetry-in-Translation”was started，which featured works in Chinese，French，Arabic，Russian，Spanish and other languages．Joining organized activities like Spittoon can be a major help for those caught up in a boring life．And it's especially important for the people who have moved to China as they need to buildnew relationships while livingin a different country．8. What can we know about the Spittoon Collective?A. It was closed in 2019．B. It was set up in 2013 in Beijing．C. It's popular with literature lovers．D. It's a community just for foreigners．9.

To combine poetry with the hutong．10. What effect would the Spittoon Collective have on Chinese culture?A. Beneficial．B. Negative．C. Challenging．D. Controversial．11. What is the author's attitude to the Spittoon Collective?A. Unclear．B. Intolerant．C. Doubtful．D. Favorable．DResearchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humansto harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but stillenough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and thatheat will radiate out tothe cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.12. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?A. It will be used for medical purposes.B. It will be made smaller and wearable.C. It will change natural power into electricity.D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.13. Why does the author mentionThe Matrixseries in the text?A. To give an explanation.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce a topic.D. To analyze the cause.14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The strengths of Xiao's device.B. The convenience of using a battery.C. The replacement of wearable devices.D. The development of traditional electronics.15. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?A. It operates with plenty of power.B. It is designed for practical use.C. It benefits people's health in a way.D. It's based on traditional electronics.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

2022年广东省揭阳市高二下学期5月第一次阶段考试英语试题

揭阳市侨中2021-2022学年高二下学期5月第一次阶段考试英语试卷(考试时间：120分钟，满分：150分) 命题人：)第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ARachel Hore’s fascinating novels move between the past and the present. Her latest The House on Bellevue Gardens is set in London now and in the early 1960s.Best-selling author Rachel Hore’s previous novels include The Glass Painter’s Daughter, which was shortlisted(入围) for the 2010 Romantic Novel of the Year award, and A Gathering Storm, which was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award.Here, she shares three books that made an impact on her life.Orlando by Virginia WoolfReading Orlando for the first time in my late teens gave me a wonderful sense of freedom and the possibilities that a life full of books can offer. Forever young, Orlando possesses “the strength of a man and a woman’s grace”.He lives through four centuries and has many disguises; sometimes he even changes his gender.It was an excellent literary work through history that excited and inspired me.Flight Behaviour by Barbara KingsolverI’ve read many of Barbara Kingsolver’s novels, includ ing her well-known The Poisonwood Bible, admiring how easily she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world, of which humanity is a dependent part.I particularly love Flight Behaviour because she engages the reader easily with an ambitious subject for fiction—climate change.Her story makes us all care about what we are doing to our world.The Hawk in the Rain by Ted HughesWe were given The Thought Fox to read at school and I was so deeply impressed with its central image of the fox in the snow inspiring the poem that I spent that week’s money on the book it appears in. I read and re-read it and was amazed!I loved the writer’s technique of description, as well as the energy, the violence and the sensuousness(敏感) of those poems.Everyone should have their “discovery of poetry” moment, and mine was Ted Hughes.1. Which of the following books was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award?A. The House on Bellevue Gardens.B. The Glass Painter’s Daughter.C. A Gathering Storm.D. Flight Behaviour.2. Which book did Rachel Hore read when she was in her late teens?A. Flight Behaviour.B. Orlando.C. The Poisonwood Bible.D. The Hawk in the Rain.3. For what does Rachel Hore admire Barbara Kingsolver?A. The topic of her novel.B. How she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world.C. How her novels excite and inspire readers.D. Her technique of description.BOnce upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.4. Why did the girl complain to her father?A. Because of her hard life.B. Because of her tiring job.C. Because of her father’s busy work.D. Because of the food her father cooked.5. What can we infer from this story?A. The girl liked the coffee best.B. The father was good at cooking.C. The girl didn’t like the potatoes and eggs.D. Different people have different reactions to adversity.6. What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the fourth paragraph?A. Thick.B. Easily-broken.C. Strong.D. Hard.7. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Father and daughterB. Adversities and a chefC. A chef and coffee beansD. Challenges and responsesCArt—no matter whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it—is a relaxing and inspiring activity for many people. However, the particular benefits of art go much further.Studies suggest that art therapy(疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief.You don’t necessarily ha ve to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of art therapy. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter wh ich one you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up.However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can tailor(专门定制) each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression.Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.8. What do you have to do to complete an art therapy successfully?A. Be talented for art.B. See a therapist.C. Choose a special media.D. Accept yourself.9. What advantage do the activities done in a group have in art therapy?A. The activities are tailored to one’s own needs.B. The activities are inspiring.C. The activities are comforting.D. The activities promote communication.10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To explain the advantages of art therapy.B. To give some advice about promoting your self-respect.C. To provide an approach to relieve your emotions.D. To summarize the process of art creation.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to develop drawing skills.B. How to wake up art creativity.C. Art therapy is a great way to treat mental health.D. Art can be used to learn how to communicate with oneself.DIf work is leaving you exhausted, try turning off your phone at lunchtime. A study found that people who played on their phones during their lunch breaks were more tired in the afternoon than those who went for a walk or read a book. This may be because they used up more mental energy. Whatever the reason, researchers said employees sho uld be aware of the effect and that employers should consider introducing the “digital detox”.For the study, some 425 men and women were asked how they spent their lunch breaks and how they felt at the time and afterwards. Roughly half said they spent their breaks on digital devices such as smartphones, while the others enjoyed activities such as chatting to a friend or going for a walk. Both groups said they felt they had got away from work during lunch. However, those who had played on their phones di dn’t feel rejuvenated afterwards. They were more likely to say they felt “used up” and “burned out” as the day went on.The researchers said that multitasking on a smartphone by, for example, listening to music while writing an email, can be mentally exhausting. Even something as seemingly simple as reading the news on a phone takes up more brainpower than reading the same information in a newspaper because of the energy needed to ignore the various links embedded(嵌入) in the article and the advertisements that constantly appear.The researchers wrote in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, “If employees don’t handle tiredness properly at break time, they will be exhausted by their job demands. Organizational interventions(干预) such as ‘digital detox’ and awareness in employees about the negative effects of smartphone breaks are necessary for employees to find effective relaxation.”12. What can the underlined word “rejuvenated” in Paragraph 2 be replaced by?A. Ashamed.B. Upset.C. Interested.D. Energetic.13. The study was conducted mainly to find out ______.A. whether smartphone breaks were necessaryB. whether people felt exhausted at workC. how smartphone breaks affected peopleD. how people spent their lunch breaks14. What does the author try to express in the third paragraph?A. News on smartphones is less accurate.B. Multitasking has become a way of life.C. Too many links and advertisements are in the news.D. Smartphone multitaskers can become mentally exhausted.15. According to the text, “digital detox” refers to a time when people ______.A. are devoted to their workB. turn off electronic devicesC. get rid of tiredness completelyD. realize the role of digital devices第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 16. So challenge the following limits:Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.17. But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eye and say, “Go on. I’m not scared!”Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop.Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. 18. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.19. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercisecan not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. 20.A.You should do it continuously.B.Someone may hang up on you.C.You don’t need to go to the gym.D.Running in the gym may be a better choice.E.Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.F.Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.G.You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.第二部分语言知识及应用（共两节，满分30分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Passengers were making a huge number of 16 about the long waits at baggage claim (行李提取处). In response, the airport managers 17 the number of baggage handlers. The plan worked: the average wait fell to eight minutes. But the complaints18 despite the apparent success.19 , the managers undertook a more careful, on-site analysis. They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their 20 gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags. Roughly 88 percent of their time, in other words, was spent standing around 21 waiting for their bags.So the airport decided on a new approach: instead of reducing wait time, it 22 the arrival gates farther away from baggage claim area. Passengers now had to 23 six times longer to get their bags. Complaints dropped to near zero.This story shows a general 24 : the experience of waiting is defined only partly by the actual length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more 25 than the length of the wait itself. Occupied time (walking to baggage claim) feels 26 than unoccupied time (standing at baggage claim). Research on 27 has shown that, on average, people overestimate how long they’ve waited in a lin e by about 36 percent.This is also why one finds mirrors next to lifts. The spread of high-rise buildings after World War II led to complaints about lift 28 . The motive behind the mirrors was 29 to the one used at the Houston airport: give people something to 30 their time, and the wait seems shorter.16.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”．I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.I smiled at him and said, “Mr.Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger？” He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr.Young.Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that.” I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B＋； Mechanical Drawing, C－； English, D－； History, C－； Gym, B＋； Art, C; Math, D－.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received, because I knew thatsomeone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.41.From the second paragraph we can infer that the boy is ________ in some subjects.A．mindblowing(给人印象极深的) B．slowwitted(头脑迟钝的)C．funloving D．badlybehaved42.Where may the boy live according to the passage?A．In an orphanage. B．In a big prison. C．In the school dormitory. D．In his home.43.What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?A．D－. B．B＋ C．D. D．E.44.The underlined word “tucked” in the passage most probably means “________”．A．struck B．listed C．hid D．copied 45.The reason why the boy remembers Mr. Young is that ________.A．he missed one of his fingers B．he treated his students very well C．he understood the boy D．he taught his students in a special way(B)Just as some people think that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use numbers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future.Numerology is a way of using numbers to describe a person’s character, and to make predictions about future life events. Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 —also known as the “master” numbers — to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be.Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers.If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways thanwe think.46. If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?A. 7B. 8C. 9D. 1147. To understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your ______.A. Life Path numberB. Expression numberC. birthdayD. name and birth date48. According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.A. stubbornB. home-lovingC. artisticD. imaginative49. According to the passage, numerologists believe that _________.A. Life Path number can be used to predict a person’s most challenging life periodsB. Expression number is the most mea ningful for people to learn a person’s characterC. numbers can help people better understand themselvesD. numbers can be used to change a person’s future50. The function of the passage is __________.A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of numerologyB. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describesC. to describe some of the numerological practices and their purposeD. to tease those who take such beliefs seriously(C)The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all theschools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.51. That the teacher gave out jobs to the children is based on _______.A. their characters and interestsB. their class performance during the previous yearC. their working performance during the previous yearD. their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year52. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Each child got an important job.B. Each child got an interesting job.C. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preferenceD. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.53. Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion is ________A. negativeB. uncertainC. totally positiveD. acceptive54. We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.A. hunterB. directorC. biologistD. principal55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Never complain about lifeB. Small tasks can lead to fortunesC. Men are best known by their friendsD. Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck(D)The idea about the phoenix goes back to Ancient Egypt, where we find the phoenix described as a handsome, eagle-like bird, with part-golden, part-red plumage, that spent most of its life in the Arabian deserts. It was rarely seen and according to one version of the story, only appeared in Egypt once every five hundred years, when it flew to Heliopolis, “city of the sun”, and deliberately burnt itself to ashes by settling on the altar(祭坛) flame there! However, it seems it did not really die because from those same ashes a young, fully formed phoenix was born and flew away, apparently back to Arabia.It is pretty obvious that no one has ever seen or will see a living phoenix. The interesting thing is that we can find certain clues which may explain one aspect of the Egyptians’ idea. It may sound unbelievable, but some birds are apparently quite charmed by flames and small fires, especially members of the crow family. One zoologist actually proved this by setting fire to some straw near to a tame（驯养的） rook. Far from becoming nervous and backing away, the bird deliberately stood over the flames, with raised and vibrating wings. It didn’t get burnt, but the image it presented by its strange behavior was almost exactly like that shown in illustrations of the mythical phoenix!Why birds should occasionally behave in this strange way is not clear. One idea is that they carefully use the heat of the flames to relieve the annoyance caused by their feather mites(虱) which all birds have. Whatever the reason, it is quite possible that the Ancient Egyptians saw birds behaving in this way, from time to time, and used it as the basis of their phoenix myth, adding fanciful details whichclosely linked it to their worship of the sun and their belief in resurrection. Nowadays, the phoenix is much less important to us than it was to the Egyptians. But the logo of modern fire insurance companies, which employ the phoenix as one of their symbols, refers that in one sense the idea of it remains.56. According to the passage, the phoenix ______________ .A. is a handsome and eagle-like bird living in ArabB. used to be seen when the Egyptians held religious activitiesC. has never really existed in the worldD. is the king of all kinds of birds57. The reason why birds stand above flames is probably that _____________ .A. the phoenix used to do soB. they may get rid of the mitesC. they want to burn their featherD. they can heat themselves58. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the phoenix.B. The scientists have discovered why birds are attracted by fire.C. The modern people still favor the idea of the phoenix.D. The mythical tales about the phoenix were based on facts.59. Which of the following is closest to “resurrection” in the 3rd paragraph?A. living foreverB. offering warmthC. coming back to lifeD. staying healthy60. What does the phoenix probably mean in the logo of a fire insurance company?A. Our company can protect you from being harmed by fire.B. If your property is destroyed by fire, we will help you build it up again.C. Our company will always be energetic and wealthy.D. If needed, we will save you at the risk of losing lives.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面是一篇有关书籍介绍的应用文，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

广东省揭阳市2020-2021学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题 (1)

广东省揭阳市2020-2021学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择That two bicycle salesmen were the first people to fly is as surprising today as it was over a century ago. In 1903 , the Wright brothers flew above the crowd at a public exhibition in the United States. For a long period, the whole world was still in shock.The Wrights’ success is worth reviewing today because it challenges the 21st century's belief that, for young engineers, courses in arts and humanities are not as important as math and science. In fact, however, neither of the Wright brothers went to college or had any formal technical training.To see what we can learn from the Wright brothers today, we must consider what made them different then. The Wright brothers grew up in a family where there was always encouragement on curiosity. The bookshelves in their home were filled with novels, poetry, and ancient history. The Wrights’parents had great curiosity for learning. They encouraged their children to read widely and find out the truth on their own. In their late 20s , the Wrights began reading books on the movement of bird wings , which led to their original air-control system.The Wright brothers often compared themselves to artists because their invention had a lot to do with arts. For example, the art of flying was actually a complicated dance between man, machine and air, which required thousands of hours of practice to perfect. Technical skills and math were certainly necessary to build the machine, but much of the challenge lay in the art of flying in order to have beautiful lines during flight and landing.If today’s schools hope to have more extraordinary engineers, they should broaden the limited academic requirements and encourage students to be curious about different subjects as the Wright brothers did.1．What was peopled attitude to the Wright brothers, flight in Paragraph 1?A．They were eager to fly. B．They wondered its safety.C．They were shocked at it. D．They doubted if it was true.2．Which of the following led to the brothers, success according to the passage? A．Formal technical training. B．Research on birds' movement. C．Math and science in college. D．Curiosity about finding the truth. 3．What does the passage encourage today's schools to do?A．To abandon academic requirements on learning.B．To encourage students to be artists and engineers.C．To broaden students’ knowledge about the Wright brothers.D．To be supportive to students' curiosity on different courses.Will doing housework save you a trip to the gym? If you think so, you need to think again. A new study finds that people who do housework as their weekly exercise tend to be heavier than those who get their exercise by doing sports.In fact, the more time people spend on performing housework as exercise, the heavier they tend to be. The finding is shocking, because people thought more physical activities — no matter what the form — would always lead to a lower weight.Richard Cotton, an exercise physiologist, agreed that it is hard to lose weight only by doing housework. You’ll get the most reward for your time if you add some traditional physical activities, he said. For example, 30 minutes of sweeping floors bums about 130 calories, while 30 minutes of riding a bike bums 400 calories. But some housework does give you exercise. For example, 30 minutes of washing the clothes by hand bums 215 calories, close to what you would bum in 30 minutes of combined jogging and walking.The study collected information from more than 4 ,600 people who were interviewed about their weekly physical activity. About 42 percent of them had 150 minutes of physical activity per week. Of those people, nearly two-thirds said that at least 10 minutes of their weekly activity was spent doing housework. Women and older people tended to report more time spent in doing housework as part of their physical activity. In other words, if the researchers didn’t count housework as a type of physical activity, just20 percent of women had enough physical exercise.Therefore, it is possible that people who said they exercised by doing housework were not really honest about the time or length of the activity, researchers said. "After all, the combination of different physical activities is the best choice," Cotton said.4．Why does the author raise a question at the beginning of the passage?A．To invite some readers to answer it. B．To draw readers' attention to the topic. C．To test readers' knowledge about sports. D．To show the importance of going to the gym.5．Which of the following belongs to “traditional physical exercise"?A．Sweeping floors. B．Riding a bike.C．Washing the clothes. D．Cleaning the garage.6．What can we learn about losing weight according to the passage?A．We should do various physical activities.B．We should exercise by doing housework.C．Jogging and walking are the best kinds of sports.D．The more housework we do, the heavier we'll be.Ice volcanoes erupted on the shores of Lake Michigan last weekend, and an employee from National Weather Service ( NWS) caught sight of an astonishing scene on the spot. “You never know what you'll find at the lake until you go out there," the employee said, "Today it were volcanoes. ”Despite their nickname, ice volcanoes aren't really volcanoes at all. They form at the edges of lakes, where thin sheets of ice form, and water shoots through holes in the ice, Water flows beneath the ice sheet and builds up enough pressure to push water to the surface. If the air above is cold enough, the released water freezes over the surrounding ground, forming a mini volcano of sorts.Ice volcanoes can be very dangerous to climb on because they are empty inside and built over that hole in the ice. Although some frozen volcanoes were discovered a few years ago, it is still rare to witness one.Ice volcanoes typically form near large bodies of water where freezing temperatures below allow an ice shelf to form over the water’s surface along the coastline. Meanwhile, waves beneath the shelf must be strong enough to crack the ice and push water out. For this reason, ice volcanoes tend to form along shorelines where winds blow up waves constantly.For example, when the Oval Beach volcanoes were spotted, the wind was almost due west, which was perfect for pushing waves right into the shoreline at this location. Due to their superior size, the Great Lakes may be more likely to form ice volcanoes along their shores than smaller lakes.So if you want to see an ice volcano in person, the Great Lakes may be your best choice—but be cautious where you step!7．What did the NWS employee discover in Paragraph 1?A．The eruption of ice volcanoes. B．V olcanoes erupting on the mountain.C．Frozen shores of Lake Michigan. D．An ordinary scene of Lake Michigan. 8．What can we learn about ice volcanoes according to the passage?A．They appear whenever it is freezing. B．They are real volcanoes in the ocean. C．It is uncommon to see their eruptions. D．It takes years to form an ice volcano. 9．Where do the ice volcanoes usually form?A．Shorelines with suitable weather conditions.B．Smaller lakes where wind direction is perfect.C．Along shorelines where waves are not powerful.D．In the center of the ocean or large bodies of water.10．What is this passage mainly about?A．Dangers of ice volcanoes. B．Ice volcanoes and their formation. C．Different kinds of volcanoes. D．The Great Lakes and ice volcanoes.二、七选五Effective Parent-Teacher ConferencesParent-teacher conference is a golden chance for parents to know their kids, school life and what is really going on at school. But only if they use the opportunity wisely.11． .●Do Your HomeworkParents need to speak with a number of teachers in a short period of time, making it difficult for them to get everything straight. 12． . Cyndy McDonald, a guidance consultant in California, suggests parents make good plans in mind, such as who they would like to meet, and what issue they need to address.● 13．Parents may only have a few minutes with your child's teacher to find out how things are going at school. McDonald suggests having a few questions ready, and she recommends asking these questions : Is my child raising his/her hand and participating in class? How is my child getting along with their classmates? Do you see any problems I should be aware of? What can I do as a parent to provide support at home?●Be on the same teamCyndy McDonald stresses, “ The most important thing is to go in with the atti tude thatwe're all on the same team. 14．. ” If your child is missing homework, for example, be sure to talk with your child's teachers to find out. Tell them what works in other classes for your child and let them try this in their class.With enough p reparations, parents may get their problems solved more easily. “ 15．," she says.A．Help children in troubleB．Prepare questions to askC．Here's how to make the most of this precious opportunityD．Sometimes this approach doesn't lead to a positive resultE.Without a plan in advance, the time can pass quickly without getting anythingF.Teachers want to hear that parents will support them in educating the childrenG.If a parent comes to me with good preparations, my job will be so much easier三、完形填空Lisa Meeks was in medical school at Harvard.

As I have moved into my forties now, I have begun to see that body age has very little to do with soul age. My body 1 telling me again and again that I am getting older. My soul, however, seems to 2 the thought.Just this morning I awoke to find my 3 aching and walked into the bathroom. I stretched my back as much as I could and then looked in the 4 . My thinning hair was becoming grey. My forehead was lined with deep wrinkles and my frowning face made me look like a tired, middle-aged man.This 5 me but only for a few seconds. Then I remembered that whether I grow young orgrow old mainly 6 myself. I said "Good morning" to God, thanked him once again for my life and smiled in the mirror. 7 , the wrinkles in my forehead disappeared while the laugh lines around my eyes smiled widely with joy. My 8 eyes began to shine brightly and I watched as fifteen years 9 from my face in a second.No matter how old this body of mine may get, my soul remains young. This is 10 for all of you as well. When it comes to eternity (永久), age is a number and the body is a liar.Before you lose the way to look for the fountain of 11 , take a look inside yourself.

Liz Payne（B）Maricel Apatan, 22, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa ShangiLa Hotel in Manila, preparing to decorate a cheesecake. It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef，but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle wereattacked near their farm. Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11yearold girl lost her hands. In 2004，she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities. She learned how to write and do housework and，more importantly, came to terms with her disability. After graduation from high school, she took a twoyear Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course. After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies, the media started reporting on this determined young woman. She didn't shy away from the at tention. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life，”Maricel says.When managers at the Edsa ShangriLa Hotel saw Maricel on television, they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project. She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others. One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano, a 21yearold with cerebral palsy（脑瘫）．She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence. Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila. She pays for the rent of their small apartment，while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao. “It is difficult to make ends meet but I don't lose hope. I believe anything is possible if you dream, work hard and pray.”4．“Maricel is no ordinary chef” because________.A. she is better than other chefsB. she is physically disabledC. she can do a routine taskD. she is good at decorating cakes5．Which of the following is NOT true about Maricel？A.

We should be determined and never lose hope.B. We shouldn't look down upon the disabled.C. We should help those who suffer disabilities.D. We should feel sympathy for the unfortunate.（C）I stay at my parents’ house. We live in Edinburgh but all of our relatives live in other cities：my mother’s family live an hour away by car, and my father’s family live an hour away by plane. These relatives really don’t live that far away, but it’s still not easy to visit them. As a result, family occasions such as wedding and important birthdays are big events. They provide an opportunity to see relations t hat I haven’t seen for a long time.Living abroad means that I miss many of these family get-togethers. That includes yesterday when I missed my mother’s birthday. It wasn’t a big birthday—she didn’t turn 60 or anything like that, but it’s still a birthday. Since moving to Colombia, I have also missed my father’s and my sister’s birthdays as well as Christmas. During all of the time that I have livedabroad, two or three of my cousins have married and they even now have had children.These events leave me f eeling like I’m missing out—and really, I am. My mother and my father try to keep me updated, but I understand that it can be hard to remember everything. Given that I choose to live abroad, it is really up to me to make the effort to stay updated and to be part of these occasions from far away.For example, yesterday I sent my mother a present for her birthday. It can be challenging to know what my mother wants when I am so far from home. When there is a special occasion at home, I try to phone. Thankfully, programs such as Skype make these calls cheap and usually quite easy. But last Christmas Day when all Internet cafés were closed, I did have to make one very expensive call.8. When in the UK, the writer ______ .A. lives near his relativesB. visits his relatives oftenC. sees his relatives occasionallyD. lives happily with his parents9. We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer _______ .A. is proud to live in ColombiaB. misses his family get-togethersC. keeps his mother’s birthday in mindD. is eager to go back to his hometown10. The last Christmas Day, the writer _______ .A. spent a lot of money phoningB. made a distant call through SkypeC. sent his mother a birthday presentD. found it impossible to go home alone11. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text？A. T o tell his unusual experience abroad.B. To show the disadvantages of living abroad.C. T o introduce some tips on living well alone.D. T o recall his miserable life in Colombia.（D）Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an "agricultural revolution". On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real "mechanized hired hand" that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future willfind that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.12. according to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raiseD. when to sell their products13. Which of the following statements is true？A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.C. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.D. Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do nothing without the help of computers on today's farms.14. according to the engineers, _______will be done by robots in the near future.A. all farm workB. milking cowsC. most of the farm workD. some farm work15. What is the best title for the whole passage？A. Computer, Farmers' Best FriendB. Farmers in The FutureC. The Agricultural RevolutionD. Computers and Robots第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余的。

广东省揭阳市揭东区光正实验学校2020-2021学年高二下学期第一次月考试英语试题

广东省揭阳市揭东区光正实验学校2020-2021学年高二下学期第一次月考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Food Parts You Should Never Throw Away in the GarbagePineapple CoreWhen you carve out the core of a pineapple, don't throw it in the garbage. You can use the pineapple core for all kinds of recipes, and there are tons of vitamins and minerals hiding within. To use the pineapple core: chop it and add it to fruit salad, blend it into smoothies, cut it into cubes and freeze for later use, or simply add it to water or even tea to improve flavor. Kiwi SkinIf you never thought you could eat kiwi in the way you eat a peach, think again. That skin really is good for you and contains a lot of vitamin C, and in fact, it's also higher in fiber than the rest of the fruit. Of course, that rough, ugly skin isn't for everyone, so if you don't like it, try adding a whole kiwi to a smoothie to hide the taste of the skin.Banana PeelMost of us eat the banana without giving the soft peel a second thought. Here's why that's a mistake: banana peel contains tryptophan(色氨酸), which increases "the happiness hormone" to help with mood regulation and nerve system. There are a few creative ways to use the peel. Cook or boil for at least 10 minutes to soften. You can add it to smoothies, stir-fries, or soups. And, for a treat, simply slice and bake a banana with the skin on. Watermelon Skin and SeedThe delicious, red inside makes for a refreshing snack or juice, but you're able to get some powerful nutrients in the skin and seeds as well. Cut out the white part under the green outside and use it in your cooking. It has vitamin C and B6, to keep you healthy. As for the seeds, you can roast them in the oven. Then add them to salads or to nut snacks.1．Which of the following has a larger amount of fiber than its other parts?A．Pineapple cores.B．Kiwi skin.C．Banana peel.D．Watermelon skin and seeds.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．All the food above can be added to smoothies.B．Kiwi skin can be roasted in the oven.C．Banana peel can help lift people's moods.D．The green part of watermelon has vitamin C and B6.3．Where can we most probably read this text?A．In a botany instruction.B．In a medicine brochure.C．In a fruitarian's recipe.D．In a nutrition report.Bea, a five-year-old girl, was born with a severe illness which means she has to be kept away from other children of her age, because her body is so weak that she would be unable to fight off a common cold.Bea was diagnosed (诊断) with this disease when she was five months old. Since then, the hospital has become her second home, medicines for food, and all kinds of treatments her friends. Bea received a very special treatment when she was four years old, which would allow her to be like a normal child if successful. After that, she spent two weeks in ICU before living for four months on a separate ward(病房). Bea was allowed home in February but still needed a special tube in her nose to send in medicine every two days.Her parents clean the house from top to bottom every two days and hoover (用吸尘器清扫) each morning to make sure Bea is free from any possible bacteria. Anna, Bea’s mother, said, “She is weak but so strong. We’ve never seen any child stronger than her. It seems as if nothing in the world could beat her. We really hope to send her to school next year.” She used to drive on the local playground, but Bea was only allowed to watch sitting in the car. “It was heartbreaking to see Bea staring at the running and laughing children there. She never stopped fighting the disease. I know she’s dying for such a normal life.”Hearing of Bea’s story, the MakeAWish Foundation has paid for a play park to be built in her back garden.“Bea is very brave and she has encouraged many children like her, ” said the chairman of the foundation.4．If Bea stayed with other children freely, ________.A．other children would have a higher chance to catch her diseaseB．she would catch a common cold which would kill her quicklyC．her life would be in great danger as she could fall ill easilyD．she would be lost in playing and forget to receive treatment5．From the passage we can infer that ________.A．Bea will need a tube in her nose all the timeB．Bea has to stay in hospital until she is an adultC．Bea’s parents will send her to school next yearD．Bea’s mother feels proud when talking about her6．The MakeAWish Foundation had a play park built for Bea to ________.A．honor her bravery in fighting against her diseaseB．call for attention to this immune system deficiencyC．encourage more children like Bea to be optimisticD．launch a campaign against this serious disease7．What makes Bea so brave to fight against this serious disease?A．Her parents’ encouragement and care.B．Her dreaming of owning a play park.C．Her wish to become a normal child.D．Her doctor’s skills and experience.The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actuallyare on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important: it proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.8．What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A．It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.9．Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?A．freed B．brokenC．unfolded D．untouched10．One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______. A．story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB．people are used to exposing their weaknessesC．people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD．some stories make themselves feel sad11．The writer aims to convince us to _______.A．be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD．realize the importance of being honest when making friendsGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filledwith fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things.I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________. A．anxious to do wondersB．sensitive to others’ feelingsC．likely to develop unpleasant habitsD．eager to explore the world around them13．The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they ________.A．are very patient in their observationB．are really fascinated by natureC．care only about the names of birdsD．question the accuracy of the field guides14．Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A．The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.B．They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C．The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D．They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.15．In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ________.A．fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB．get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC．open our mind to new things and ideasD．try our best to protect nature二、七选五Smartphones store a lot of personal data. These devices know our names,the names ofknow where a person is to report the local forecast，for example.Many smartphone apps don't cost anything to download and use.But don't be fooled. There's still a price. 17 Those same apps may often send data on to advertisers as well.Those advertisers will pay well to know how people behave and live.Once your data leave a device，you can't get them back. And that data theft may not be harmless. Moreover，those data may tell when someone leaves home and when he gets back. 18 Social media sites often have access to a user's images and posts.Recently a new online tool has been developed to track the misuse of private data. 19 It tells people when their apps are sending data，which can help spot the misuse. SPEProxy identifies the misuse of data using an approach that has already been used to diagnose illnesses.In the clinical field，a kind of medical software is used to collect data from a patient. Then it compares them to those symptoms of many possible illnesses to make a diagnosis.Right now，people can only track data with the new tool by going to a website. 20 It's also a bit awkward to use.People may not want to go to the trouble of getting online to track their data. A more convenient version that people could install on their phones is in urgent need.A．It is called SPEProxy.B．That means it's limited.C．It is more than convenient to use in computers.D．Your privacy is what's paying for it.E．Some apps use those data to do their job.F．Some apps may charge you much money to operate.G．They can show how and where people spend their days.三、完形填空An English battleship was sailing at sea in the severe weather for several days.
