江苏省2022-2023学年高一下学期期末英语试卷(含解析)
江苏省2022-2023学年高一下学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解As any cat owner will tell you, talking to your cat is totally normal. And even though feline(猫) friends may seem distant to these adoring talks, a new study in Animal Cognition suggests they are really listening.Researchers in France exposed house cats to recordings of their owner or a stranger saying phrases in cat-or human-directed speech. Like baby talk, cat-directed speech is typically higher pitched with short, repetitive phrases. The team found that felines tended to react to their owner speaking in cat-directed speech—but not to their owner speaking in adult tones or to a stranger using either adult-or cat-directed speech.Previous research had shown similar findings in dogs, but much less is known when it comes to cats. “Some people still consider cats independent—you cannot have a real relationship with cats,” says lead study author Charlotte Mouzon, a cat behaviorist at the University of Paris Nanterre. Some people might be embarrassed about using special vocalizations for cats, she says, but this research shows “people shouldn’t be ashamed.”Mouzon and her team recorded 16 cat owners saying such as “Do you want to play?” or “Do you want a treat?” in cat-and human-directed speech. Then they filmed each cat before, during and after playing it a series of recordings of its owner and other owners’ speech. The researchers used software to rate the cats’ reactions from multiple dimensions, making the result more convincing.“Although cats have a reputation for ignoring their owners, a growing body of research indicates that cats pay close attention to humans,” says Kristyn Vitale, a cat behavior scientist at Unity College in Maine, who was not involved in the study. “Cats can learn that specific speech has certain meanings.” But she notes the study is too small and that future work is needed to expand the research to other cat populations.1．According to paragraph 2, what do house cats respond obviously to? A．The owner’s cat-directed tone. B．A stranger’s human-directed talks. C．A stranger’s cat-directed recordings. D．The owner’s human-directedspeech.2．What does the underlined word “vocalization” mean in paragraph 3? A．Strategies. B．Trainings. C．Sounds. D．Rhymes. 3．What makes Mouzon’s findings more reliable?A．Continuous filming of cats’ responses. B．Comprehensive analyses backed by software.C．Multi-dimensional evaluations of cats’ habits. D．Further reference to previous studies on dogs.4．What is the limitation of Mouzon’s research?A．Lack of sample types. B．Absence of owners’ support. C．Absence of scientific tools. D．Lack of experts’ involvement.As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.“I, uh—I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?” Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For thenext two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”5．When the writer was small, he lived ________.A．in the city B．on the farmC．with his grandparents D．away from his parents6．The underlined word “approve” in paragraph two means ________. A．prove B．suppose C．allow D．mind7．We can learn from the passage that the writer was ________. A．adventurous B．funny C．smart D．talkative 8．What did the writer learn from his grandfather and his own experience on the farm?A．To do things for others. B．To do whatever he liked.C．To be proud of himself. D．To be himself.You’ve heard the predictions from some of the brightest minds about AI’s influence. Tesla and SpaceX’s chief Elon Musk worries that AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The late scientist Stephen Hawking warned that AI could serve as the “worst event in the history of our civilization” unless humanity is prepared for its possible risks.But many experts, even those who are aware of such risks, have a more positive attitude, especially in health-care and possibly in education. That is one of the results from a new AI study released Monday by the Pew Research Centre.Pew canvassed the opinions of 979 experts over the summer, a group thatincluded famous technologists, developers, innovators, business and policy leaders. The interviewed experts, some of whom chose to remain anonymous, were asked to join in the discussion of a serious and important question: “By 2030, do you think it is most likely that advancing AI and related technology systems will improve human capacities and control them?”Nearly two-thirds of experts predicted most of us will be mostly better off. But a third thought otherwise, and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concerns over the long-term impact of AI on the “essential elements of being human”. Among those concerns were data abuse, loss of jobs and loss of control brought by autonomous weapons and cybercrime. Above all, by taking data in and spitting answers out, those “black box” tools make decisions in digital systems. It is an erosion in our ability to think for ourselves.9．Why is Stephen Hawking mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To warn humans to give up AI as soon as possible.B．To remind readers that a new AI age has come into view.C．To prove great scientists care much about the future of AI.D．To introduce the main idea of the text that AI benefits the future. 10．What is true of Pew’s study?A．Most experts are certain that AI will be out of control.B．Pew asked experts from different fields for opinions.C．Pew concludes that humans will suffer from AI.D．33% of experts think AI will have little impact on humans.11．Why some experts concern about “black box” tools?A．Because they make decisions in digital systems.B．Because they can take data in and spit answers out.C．Because they may weaken our ability to think independently.D．Because they may decrease humans’ welfare in the long term.12．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Experts’ concern about AI. B．Humans’ being controlled by AI. C．Experts’ Expectation of AI. D．AI’s influence on society.二、七选五what you were saying? While you may think yourself to be a great speaker, itis not particularly hard to annoy your audience. Here are the top three of annoying habits in a presentation: reading the presentation (37%), having no knowledge of the subject matter (22%), using many “umms” and “uhhs” (16%).So here are some tips to help you avoid these annoying mistakes.The most annoying presentation habit is also one of the easiest to fall victim to. With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written. 14 By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves.One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point. 15 Whenin practice, having slides with flexible layouts and proper pictures is equally important.16 The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before. So in order to show your audience you know your stuff, getting ready will make all the difference.The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptomof not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously.17One tip for avoiding this is to practice your presentation multiple times beforehand, out loud. The more you practice, the more likely you can catch yourself before letting the “umms” and “uhhs” slip out.A．Was it boring?B．Were people interested?C．It helps you to save your time.D．This stops you overloading your slides with information.E．Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility.F．Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation.G．However, all this shows is that you can do what your audience can as well.三、完形填空Charles Dickens. From Oliver Twist to A Tale of Two Cities, many of Dickens’works still sell well today and are placed on 19 shelves.As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. That question, however, was never more troubling to me than when I was giving a lecture one day, nearly ten years ago. I was telling the students that his writing created a “tune-in-next-week” type of 20 among readers. Then, a hand shot up. “But why should we still read this stuff?”the student asked. The answer I gave at that time was merely 21 . “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.The question 22 me for years, and for years I told myself answers,but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he was not justa man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens becausehis 23 of the human psyche (心灵) is deep. We read Dickens because wecan learn from the experiences of his characters almost as 24 as we can learn from our own experiences.These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. But these are not exactlythe reasons why I read Dickens.My search for an answer 25 but never with success, until one daya text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,”she wrote, “because the tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had 26 for years.Like most people, I knew who I was without 27 it. I was Oliver Twist, always asking for more. I was Nicholas Nickleby, 28 that my dead father was watching me from beyond the grave. I was Pip, in love with someonefar beyond my 29 . I was all of these 30 and I began to understand more about why I was who I was because Dickens had told me so much about human beings and human 31 .Dickens casts a light on who we are during the best of times and the worstof times. That’s why we still need to 32 him today.18．A．always B．never C．hardly D．often19．A．top B．dusty C．library D．outstanding 20．A．profits B．sales C．excitement D．opinions 21．A．acceptable B．unforgettable C．reliable D．available 22．A．surprised B．bothered C．frightened D．excited 23．A．destination B．function C．investigation D．organization 24．A．heavily B．easily C．hardly D．quickly 25．A．continued B．waited C．started D．repeated 26．A．sought B．proposed C．demanded D．found 27．A．noticing B．losing C．knowing D．explaining 28．A．hoping B．believing C．realizing D．worrying 29．A．control B．belief C．comprehension D．limit 30．A．instructors B．actors C．characters D．spirit 31．A．suffering B．rights C．impact D．nature 32．A．comment B．admire C．read D．respect四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

江苏省泰州中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Valerie L. Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy’s First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn’t help her.She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA．In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley’s Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal. 1．What do we know about Thomas’ early life?A．She was talented in science.B．She liked working with her father.C．She lacked support for her interest.D．She preferred to read boys’ books.2．What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Did well in.B．Had confidence in.C．Was curious about.D．Was concerned with.3．What is the advantage of Thomas’ invention over flat mirrors?A．It takes pictures more clearly.B．It transmits images more quickly.C．It changes the position of the image.D．It can send images to the Earth from space.4．What does the last paragraph focus on?A．Thomas’ future plans.B．Thomas’ retirement life. C．Thomas’ research theory.D．Thomas’ lifetime achievements.A study of almost 2,700 children aged between seven and ten in 38 schools in Barceiona, Spain, first researches the impact of traffic noise on child cognitive (认知的) development over time.The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skill, which are essential to learning. The research found that children exposed to about three times more traffic in the street than other children had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution, and, for example, was already known to increase heart attacks in adults. The UN said that urban noise pollution was growing into a global public health threat, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone and affecting many cities.But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. “We do not know that noise can actually be toxic (有害的) from a physical point of view,” said Dr. Maria Foraster, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, who led the study. “We think that we adapt to it, but research has shown that we don’t completely—we still have a physiological (生理的) response.The research revealed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks, had more impact than a higher average level of noise. It also found higher noise levels at school were more damaging than at home.Prof. Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has implications for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”The research follows previous work that showed higher levels of aircraft noise at school affected reading comprehension and cognitive development. Next, the authors said, they would like to see their findings replicated (复制) in different cities and towns, where schools may bebuilt differently and windows opened more or less often.5．What can we learn from Maria Foraster’s words?A．We are troubled by nose.B．We lack confidence in her study.C．We try hard to adapt to noise.D．We aren’t fully aware of the harm of noise to humans.6．What is Iroise Dumontheil’s attitude towards the study?A．Curious.B．Favorable.C．Cautious D．Unsatisfied.7．What might the research team focus on next?A．Finding solutions to reducing noise.B．Helping students to realize the impact of noise.C．Confirming their findings in different areas.D．Studying the differences between various noises.8．What is the best title for the text?A．Policies on traffic noise should be improvedB．Traffic noise slows children’s memory developmentC．Traffic noise has a growing impact on people’s healthD．Attention should be paid to the environment around schoolsI’ve been giving lots of thought recently to the teaching of the science subject at schools. I’m wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science--the scientific method--is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.After all, science isn’t a collection of facts about the world. That’s just called“knowledge”. Rather, science is a process of thinking and making sense of the world, which will then lead to new knowledge. We’ve often heard it said that we should be teaching children not what to think but how to think. However, schools now spend so much of the science subject loading up children’s brains with “knowledge”.Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.Yet what seems to be missing today is an understanding of the way we gain this scientific understanding of the world. Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. But social media has only enlarged the societal problem that has been with us.On top of this, our attention spans (时长) are naturally getting shorter, and we don’t take the time to question our views, or ask whether the information we are getting is reliable. This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don’t like, and so on. This is exactly why we should be teaching more of scientific methods in schools. This remarkable way of seeing, thinking and knowing, is one of humankind’s great riches and the birthright of everyone. And, most wonderfully, it only grows in quality and value the more widely it is shared.9．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 1?A．Students’ disinterest in the science subject.B．The teaching content of the science subject.C．The teaching topics of the science subject.D．The lack of emphasis on science in schools.10．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The application of science in daily lives.B．The approach to knowing scientific facts.C．Some scientific phenomena in daily lives.D．The understanding of science in daily lives.11．What does the underlined part “the societal problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The popularity of social media.B．The spread of false information.C．The misunderstanding of science.D．The negative impact of social media.12．What can students get from learning scientific methods?A．Growing interest in science.B．Improved attention in class.C．The ability to think critically.D．The deeper understanding of science.二、七选五Everything we think about, all the emotions we feel, and even the way we act is a product of self-worth. Here are some ways to boost your self-worth.Make a list of your talents or skills. Everyone has something good to offer. Humans possess and can learn mind-blowing (令人兴奋的) abilities. What can you offer?____14____ List all of these. When you identify your abilities, you suppress (抑制) your weaknesses and give voice to your strengths.Pardon yourself. ____15____ Learn from all your past mistakes.

Explore some recommendations from trusted critics.My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe)It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news? And will he still love her? A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8)Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho)This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joann a Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world-and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8)Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac)When COVID-19 hits, Malian is visiting her grandparent s. It is in Malian’s grandparents’ stories that she learns how the people of her native community have always taken care of one another. Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (For ages 8 to 12)Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson)If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi (真菌) that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack?

Ida Keeling’s daughter, Cheryl, a lifelong athlete, thought that maybe what would pull her mother out from under her dark cloud was something that would get her pumping again. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67.Keeling had grown up poor in Harlem, and had done hard work in factories. She had lost her husband early to a heart attack, and two of her four children - both of her sons - died in unsolved drug-related incidents in 1978 and 1981.Keeling had sunk into a deep depression (消沉), and her health had begun to slide. Her daughters began to worry that they soon might be losing their mother as well.It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall tha t first “mini-run” feeling as if it would never end. But when it did, “I just threw off all my bad memories.”She hasn’t stopped running since, and it’s no longer the tough work it was during that first meet. Since then, the small Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-to-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over-100 group.“I was just exercising,” she says regarding that first run, “and now I’m all over the world.”When she’s not running, she’s working out. She’s in the gym three to four days a week, running on tread-mills (跑步机), working out with weights and pedaling on the exercise bike, and even squeezing in some squats (深蹲) while she’s cooking. Part of her healthy diet is occasional brandy wine mixed with her coffee or water to aid circulation (血液循环).She’s written a book about her experiences, titled Can’t Nothing Bring Me Down: Chasing Myself in the Race Against Time.Her philosophy is also suitable for a runner: “Every day is another day forward.”1. What do the underlined words “get her pumping” mean in paragraph 1?A．Free her from great pressure. B．Fill her with life and energy.C．Equip her with self-confidence. D．Remind her of her problems.2. Why did Keeling suffer from a deep depression?A．She had grown up poor. B．She had done hard work.C．She had been in poor health. D．She had lost her husband and sons.3. What contributes to Keeling’s setting records when she is very old?A．Travelling around the world. B．The mini-run experience.C．Working out whenever possible. D．Brandy wine mixed with coffee.4. Which of the following can best describe Keeling?A．Athletic and strong-willed. B．Caring and sport-loving.C．Modest and hard-working. D．Humorous and out-going.5. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Run forward B．Never too old to learnC．Live healthily D．Never give up hope in life3. The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday proposed maximum limits for the amount of lead (铅) in baby foods, after years of studies revealed that many processed products contained levels known to pose a risk to baby health.“This is really important progress for babies,” said Scott Faber, vice president of public affairs for the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that had advised the agency (机构) to take action to remove met als from foods. “We were thankful that F.D.A. has made reducing poisonous metals in baby food a priority (优先事项).”The new limits, aimed at foods for children under 2, do not deal with grain-based snacks that have also been found to contain high levels of heavy metals. And they do not limit other metals, like cadmium, which the agency and many consumer groups have found in baby foods in previous years. Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies Bright Futures, a nonprofit, called the guidelines disa ppointing. “It doesn’t go far enough to protect babies from neurodevelopmental (神经发育的) damage from lead exposures,” she said. “Lead is in almost every baby food we’ve tested, and the action levels that F.D.A. has set will influence almost none of that food.”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said there is no safe level of lead for children, who more readily absorb the heavy metal.The agency estimated that the proposed levels could reduce the dietary (饮食的) exposure to lead for some young children by about 25 percent. However, according to the F.D.A., even low levels of lead exposure in children can lead to “learning disabilities, behavior difficulties and lowered I.Q”.Lead is everywhere in the environment from decades of uncontrolled use in gasoline for cars, farm machinery, aircraft and paint, said Tracey Woodruff, a scientist at the University of California. Mr. Faber said the new guideline would cause food companies to encourage suppliers to change their farming practices to reduce the le ad levels in food. “I think that past history has shown that farmers and food companies are very quickly able to change how they grow and process these ingredients to meet tougher standards,” he said.1. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A．The purposes of the guidelines. B．The benefits of the guidelines.C．The disadvantages of the guidelines. D．The functions of the guidelines.2. Why does the guideline disappoint Jane Houlihan?A．It aims at all kinds of poisonous metals.B．It only focuses on reducing the amount of lead.C．It fails to protect children from lead exposures.D．It encourages farmers to deal with snacks with heavy metals.3. What damage can low levels of lead in baby foods cause to children?A．Mental diseases. B．Lowered E.Q.C．Food poisoning. D．Learning difficulties.4. Which of the following best describes Mr. Faber’s attitude towards the guideline?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Cautious. D．Unclear.5. What change may the guideline bring directly according to the last paragraph?A．The way of farming. B．The lifestyle of the farmers.C．The supplies of food. D．The management of the food companies.4. Do you want to impress people with your words? Do you want to be the person at parties whose conversation is always filled with wisdom? 1● Read high-level journalism.One of the best ways to build your vocabulary is to meet new and difficult words in the context. 2 Publications such as the New York Times, The Economist, The New Yorker, and The Guardian are all excellent sources of English.● 3Your impressive words will not arouse your friends’ interest if you don’t sound comfortable using them. Practice using your new vocabulary as often as possible. Remember to be yourself. By all means be the best, most impressive version of you, but stay you.● Present confident body language.About 70% of all communication is done through non-verbal communication, such as body language and gestures. 4 Stand straight. Don’t swing wildly or rush through your words or your gestures. Moving too quickly is a sign of nervousness. Make eye contact about 50% of the time when speaking, and about 70% of the time when listening.● Learn to read your audience.One of the best ways to learn to read an audience is to watch and listen. A person who only listens to the sound of his own voice will not impress other people. Make sure to listen as well as speak. 5 For example, don’t assume that women will only want to discuss shopping or that men will only want to discuss sports.5.

How the cat replaced the rabbit in Vietnam is still the subject of debate (争论).Both countries follow a calendar based on 12 signs of a zodiac (生肖) represented by 12 animals. No one knows exactly how the 12 animals came to be named. But ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor, or the Buddha, organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac.In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. As to the rabbit, it crossed the river by jumping on the tops of stones in the river. When the rabbit got there, no others were around, so it went off to the side and slept. By the time the rabbit woke up, three others had already arrived.However, in the Vietnamese version which did not have a rabbit, the cat could swim and ended up arriving fourth. The top twelve finishers which appear in the zodiac were rat, ox, tiger, cat (or rabbit), dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.Philippe Papin is an expert on Vietnamese history at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris. He told the Northwest Asian Weekly in 2011 that one possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language.pronounced like mao. The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.This year, another website, VNExpress, said many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is “why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac.”4．The race of animals is mentioned to explore ________.A．the reason for the victory of the catB．how the 12 animals were selected in ChinaC．how the rabbit got replaced by the cat in China’s zodiacD．the reasons behind the difference between the two zodiacs5．What does “three others” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．The rat, the ox and the horse.B．The tiger, the cat and the ox.C．The rat, the ox and the tiger.D．The cat, the rat and the snake 6．What caused the rabbit to be replaced according to Papin?A．The race organized by the Jade Emperor.B．The different customs of the two countriesC．The excellent performance of the Vietnamese catD．The similar pronunciation of certain words in the two languages7．What does the last paragraph imply?A．The Year of the cat or the rabbit raises public interest in Vietnam.B．Google plays an increasingly important role in Vietnam.C．Rabbit-themed cases for mobile phones become a hit in China.D．Cat-themed cases for mobile phones enjoy popularity in China.Gardening’s many “rules” have been repeated so often that they can seem like unquestionable truths. But many have little basis in fact, so following them may be unnecessary at best and could give you poorer results at worst.A classic example is the long-held idea that watering plants around noon on a sunny day should be avoided, since it might harm their leaves. The explanation is that tiny water droplets can act like lenses (透镜), focusing the sun’s rays onto leaves, resulting in scorched (灼伤的) leaves and reduced plant health.Four researchers set out to learn more, running experiments on living plants and carryingsurface of smooth-leaved plants could indeed have this effect, causing damage right across the leaf surface. But when this was repeated with actual water droplets, such damage didn’t occur.This is because water behaves rather differently to glass. The shape of a water droplet on a leaf is more elliptical (椭圆的) than spherical. The computer modelling showed that the extreme damage through a lens of this shape would occur when the sun was at a low angle in the sky, that is, in the morning or in the afternoon. However, the sun’s strength at these times is too low to cause any harm. Even if the light of the midday sun did somehow come at the strongest angle, the heat at this time of day would always cause the water droplets to evaporate (蒸发) before they had an effect.So, if your plants need a good watering, give them some water. Not watering thirsty plants on a sunny day for fear of leaf scorch will almost certainly lead to more damage from drought stress than could be caused by the magnifying glass (放大镜) effect. While it remains generally true that the ideal time to water a plant is in the morning or evening — to lessen the amount of water that evaporates before reaching the plant’s roots — the evidence doesn’t support the idea that watering at midday will cause burning.8．What is the long-held idea talked about in the passage!A．Watering plants counts a lot.B．Plant leaves might act like lenses.C．Watering at midday may harm plant health.D．Sun’s rays might be focused onto water droplets.9．What did the researchers find in the experiments with actual water droplets?A．The same degree of damage occurred.B．Damage was caused right across the leaf surface.C．Unlike the glass spheres, the water droplets didn’t damage leaves.D．The smooth-leaved plants were extremely affected by water droplets.10．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The explanation for the finding.B．The process of the experiments.C．The time of evaporating.D．The harm caused by the sunshine.A．The long-held idea is well worth advocating.B．Plants’ roots get no water if watering occurs at noon.C．Watering in the morning can prevent water evaporation.D．Watering thirsty plants on a sunny noon makes sense.“What if I told you that I murdered Basil?”“You couldn’t murder anyone, Dorian. He probably fell into the Seine from a bus. By the way, where’s that wonderful portrait he did of you? Oh! I remember now. You told me years ago that you sent it to Selby Manor and that it got lost or stolen on the way. What a pity! I wanted to buy it. I wish I had now.” Lord Henry said.“I never really liked it,” said Dorian.“How have you kept your youth, Dorian? You must have some secret. I’m only ten years older than you are, and I’m wrinkled and old. Please, tell me your secret. To get back my youth, I’d do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”When Dorian arrived home that night, he sent his servant to bed, and sat down on the sofa in the library. Then he began to think about his life.“I’ve been an evil influence on my friends, and I’ve ruined the lives of many good young people,” he thought, “Ah! Why did I pray for the portrait to grow old, and for me to stay young? I worshiped beauty and eternal youth, but they ruined me. It’s better not to think of the past. Nothing can change that. I must think of the future. James Vane is dead. Alan Campbell is dead, too. He shot himself one night in his laboratory.”“I’m safe now,” he continued. “Basil painted the portrait that ruined my life. I can’t forgive him for that. Everything is the portrait’s fault.”He began to wonder about the portrait. “If I’m good, maybe the portrait will become beautiful again,” he thought. “I’ll go and look.”He took the lamp from the table and went upstairs. As he unlocked the door, he smiled. “Yes, I’ll be good,” he thought, “I won’t be frightened of this portrait any more.”He went upstairs to the room and locked the door. Then he pulled the purple cloth off the portrait. He gave a cry of pain. The portrait was more horrible. His face looked more evil. There was new blood on the hand and on the feet.Dorian trembled with fear. Dorian looked round the room and saw the knife that stabbed“This knife killed the artist, and now it will kill the artist’s work,” he thought.He grabbed the knife, and then he stabbed the portrait with it.12．What do we know about Lord Henry from the passage?A．He doubted slightly whether Dorian murdered Basil.B．He would do whatever he could to get back his youth.C．The portrait he wanted to buy was stolen by Selby Manor.D．The truth about how Dorian kept his youth was hidden from him.13．What can we infer from the passage?A．Dorian admitted he was badly affected by his friends.B．Alan Campbell shot himself one night in his laboratory.C．Dorian blamed his sufferings on the portrait and Basil.D．Dorian wanted to kill himself so that the portrait could become normal.14．What does the underlined word “worshiped” mean in paragraph 6?A．Admired.B．Deserved.C．Maintained.D．Ignored. 15．Why did Dorian stab the portrait at the end of the story?A．Because the portrait aroused too much curiosity of his friends.B．Because the portrait reflecting his soul made him suffer great pain.C．Because he was jealous of the portrait which would never grow old.D．Because he thought the portrait would take his youth and beauty away.二、七选五Have you ever felt a wave of anxiety (焦虑) when going out in public? Have you everthree tips to help you overcome this issue.Understand the spotlight effect (焦点效应)Many people assume that they’re being judged all the time but actually it may only be occasional. Keeping this in mind, we can look at others and think to ourselves, “Ah, they’re probably thinking about themselves right now”. Whenever you start feeling anxious outside, you can remind yourself of this. 17 . It will give you an advantage in social situations.Use cognitive restructuring (认知重建)you begin to worry you’ve messed up and that this person now thinks less of you. In this situation. you can remind yourself that everyone stutters from time to time. And since the spotlight effect exists, chances are this person didn’t even notice it. This way of thinking will immediately relax you.19If you always run away from a fear, your body and mind will remember it as something dangerous enough to run away from. But if you face your fears, over time your body will start to accept them as something manageable. And your anxiety should decrease little by little. You can take baby steps here. Start off by saying thank you to people you often meet, such as cashiers or bus drivers. Then when you feel comfortable enough, move on to making small talks with them. 20 . This should help you with your anxiety.A．Face your fearsB．Talk to people frequentlyC．You can turn a blind eye to people around youD．Well, you might be suffering from social anxietyE．You can also try to focus more on others than yourselvesF．Finally, you can increase the amount and depth of these talksG．This is when you question the beliefs that cause your anxiety三、完形填空A boy lived with his family on a farm. They had a beautiful dog. To prepare for the duckThe neighbor replied, “Yes, your dog can’t 31 swim.” The boy sat in disbelief as his neighbor pointed out a weakness of the dog rather than 32 he had witnessed a wonder.People often downplays (轻视)others’ achievements which they’re 33 to achieve themselves. Don’t let this bring you down. Just move on and improve yourself. Moreover, do give 34 when people accomplish something worthy of it. Pointing out other people’s shortcomings doesn’t make you 35 .21．A．swimming B．training C．playing D．wandering 22．A．took off B．ran out C．came around D．died down 23．A．cast B．struck C．shot D．aimed 24．A．charged B．jumped C．rolled D．fell 25．A．more than B．instead of C．apart from D．due to 26．A．ice B．surface C．stones D．bank 27．A．relaxed B．satisfied C．inspired D．astonished 28．A．pond B．bird C．dog D．duck 29．A．waved B．signaled C．screamed D．responded 30．A．anger B．curiosity C．pride D．confidence 31．A．even B．ever C．always D．quite 32．A．question B．understand C．find D．recognize 33．A．likely B．eager C．unable D．content 34．A．advice B．aid C．permission D．credit 35．A．better B．worse C．selfish D．generous四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2022-2023学年江苏省苏州市高一下学期6月学业质量阳光指标英语调研卷
2022-2023学年江苏省苏州市高一下学期6月学业质量阳光指标英语调研卷1. Diary: Four must-visit design events of 2023Get ready for an exciting year of design events in 2023! The events below are sure to inspire design enthusiasts.FuorisaloneMilan, ItalyCelebrating its 20th anniversary (纪念日) this year, the design festival makes a comeback with events across Milan’s ma ny creative towns. It will host events that push the limits of design —from city planning to multi-sensory (多感官的) architecture and more. This year, the fair will focus on its Future Lab theme, which reflects on how we imagine our future.Venice Biennale of ArchitectureVenice, ItalyOrganized by Lesley Lokko, the 18th international Architecture Exhibition will open in May. Its subject, The Laboratory of the Future, explores the African continent as a leader of the future. As a workshop and laboratory, it invites architects to draw out examples from their modern-day practices and imagine what the future can hold.London Design FestivalLondon, UKPromoting London as a leading creative capital of the world, London Design Festival continues to play a key role in positioning the city as a global destination for culture. Having celebrated its 20th anniversary last year with transformative workshops, networking events and contemporary (当代的) design, all eyes are on the show to see what’s next.Southern Sweden Design DaysMalmö, SwedenArranged by Design Center, the main spot for architecture and design in southern Sweden, Southern Sweden Design Days is a new player on the scene.

Every day as the sun rises, Ma Hongyi, a 66-year-old farmer, can be seen patrolling (巡逻) Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog in Yuncheng city, North China’s Shanxi province.Ma still remembers the day when he first saw two big pink birds wandering through the water. “I had never seen such pretty birds. They were even taller than me, with long wings,” Ma re calls. He was later informed that birds were flamingos, a rare sight in China, which were listed on the International Union for Protection of Nature’s red list of endangered species in 2013. From that day on, Ma started his second career as a volunteer to prevent human beings from interfering with the wildlife. “The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”Yuncheng Salt Lake covers an area of 132 square kilometers and used to serve as a salt production base. As the country began attaching greater importance to environmental protection, an ecological (生态的) protection and development center was set up in 2012 to carry out regular ecological protection and restoration (修复) of the lake. “The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city. The lake area hosts 292 types of wild animals, along with 782 plant varieties, some of which are newly recorded species in the country.After patrolling the lake as volunteer for over four years, Ma was employed by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019. “The lake’s ecology is getting better,” Ma says, adding that he looks forward to the arrival of the flamingos every year. “Some of them are my old friends,” he says.1. Why does Ma patrol Yuncheng Salt Lake every day?A．To serve as a keeper of the lake. B．To observe the rare flamingos closely.C．To admire the scenery around the lake. D．To come across the flamingos again2. What does the underlined phrase “interfering with” in para 2 probably mean?A．bringing benefits to B．losing control ofC．sharing space with D．causing problems to3. What can be inferred about Yuncheng Salt Lake from para 3?A．It is still used as a salt production base B．The restoration of it will be carried outsoon.C．It’s home to 292 types of endangered wildlife D．The protection of its ecology is of great importance4. Which word can best describe Ma?A．Ambitious. B．Responsible. C．Generous. D．Humorous.3. It’s a typical day at school. You’re playing soccer with your friends. One of them kicks you the ball and you run for it. You trip. You fly through the air. You land—hard, right on your face! The next moment, you’re in the nurse’s office. Your bleeding nose is being checked by laser sensors (激光传感器) that coming out of a...robot? Has the nurse’s office been taken over by sci-fi aliens (外星人) from outer space?No. You’ve just been pushed forward 15 years into the future. And it’s a future that Susan Epstein, a computer science professor who teaches artificial intelligence, is really excited to think about. “I am crazy about this kind of thing! You could go up to the robot, put your nose in, and the machine would decide whether you needed to be treated, and how.”Aside from being cool, an AI nurse has other advantages. It doesn’t need to take vacations. It doesn’t need to get paid a salary. And it might figure out what’s wrong with your nose faster than a human would. There are all kinds of ways that AI could be used to help make us healthier and researchers are studying how to use AI to diagnose (诊断) lung disease, cancer, and more.Our robot nurse isn’t meant to completely take the place of humans, though. “It would work with real, live nurses and doctors,” says Epstein, “there are things humans are good at, like building trust among members of our own species or comforting someone who’s hurt or sick. A big part of medicine is the relationship between a d octor and a patient.”Epstein points out that AI programs will never be perfect—no matter how much we might want them to be. But if AI can diagnose a deadly disease more precisely even 10 percent of the time, think of how many lives it could save. “Besides”, says Epstein, “I think there are probably patients who might prefer to have a machine for a doctor!” Would you?1. What’s the function of para 1?A．To introduce a scientific study.B．To lead to the topic of the text.C．To describe an experience of the writer.D．To give an example to support an argument.2. What can be inferred from Epstein’s words in para 4?A．Humans are better at treating patients than AI doctors.B．AI doctors alone can cure patients of most of the diseases.C．Patients’ trust in d octors may affect their treatments positively.D．Patients may receive as much comfort from AI doctors as from humans.3. What is true about AI doctors and nurses according to the text?A．They are better at trust-building.B．They will take over humans.C．Their biggest strength is being cool.D．They are life-saving if properly used.4. What’s Epstein’s attitude towards AI doctors and nurses!A．Negative. B．Favorable. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.4. U. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there’s growing concern over it. Now, a new study published by the American Psychological (心理的) Association, confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back.“Social media can feel like a comparison trap (陷阱),” says study au thor Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University. Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance. “What I noticed in social media was that I couldn’t help but compare myself.” Thai says. Reading posts from famous people and influencers, as well as people in her own social network, led to a lack of self-confidence.So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reducing time on social media would improve body image. They gathered a few hundred volunteers, aged 17-25. all of whom had experienced symptoms (症状) of anxiety or depression — which could make them easily influenced by social media. Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits.The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale. The change may seem small, but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing.“It’s encouraging that college students were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks,” psychologist Andrea Graham says. While this study included people with symptoms of anxiety or depression, Graham says it’s worth applying this approach to other groups, such as people with eating problems.1. What is the probable meaning of the underlined sentence in para 2?A．Teens are forced to post their own images on social mediaB．Teens couldn’t help but spend too much t ime on social mediaC．Teens tends to compare themselves with others on social mediaD．Teens are fooled into believing false information on social media2. How was the research conducted by Thai and a team of researchers?A．By listing numbers B．By giving examplesC．By making comparisons D．By analyzing causes and effects3. What can we learn about the survey?A．The study included people with mental health and eating problemsB．There was little difference in appearance score between the two groupsC．College students were not willing to reduce screen time for more weeksD．Cutting social media use makes a difference to teens’ opinion of their image4. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A．Less screen time, more self-confidence B．Social media, a time bomb on your healthC．How to improve your image on social media D．Concern over social media addiction keeps growing5. How to prepare for a testIn your school, tests maybe an important part of your regular classroom work. 1 If taking a test worries you, the good news is that there are many easy ways for you to prepare before it. Here’s how to get startedMake a plan2 This might mean committing to studying for 30 minutes for a few afternoons the week before the test. Or maybe you have more time on the weekends and want to plan extra study time then. Whatever you decide, circle out the time on your calendar so you remember.Be organizedStudying for a test will be easier if you organize your notes and handouts ahead of time for each of your classes. 3 Consider using a separate folder (文件夹) for each subject. You can keep them at home, at school and in your backpack.Focus on the right materialIf you have learned a lot of material, first ask your teacher what information will be on the test. Use the study guide handed out by your teacher to help you figure out what you need to focus on most. 4You may go through your notes and write key concepts on a flash card to test yourself. If there is something that confuses you, mark it and ask your teacher later.Use smart strategiesAs the day of the test approaches, be sure to get plenty of sleep the night before. When you sit down to take the exam, spend a few minutes to go through the entire test. You can start by answering the first question. 5 Finally, if you finish the test before the exams ends, go back and review all your answers to check for any mistakes. You’ve got this!6.

The total number of domestic (国内的) trips during the past May Day holiday was 274 million, up 70.83 percent than last year. and 119. 09 percent over the same period in 2019, generating 148.056 billion yuan ($21.44 billion) in tourism profits, up 128.90 percent than last year, and 100.66 percent over the same period in 2019. As the first May Day holiday after new pandemic (流行病) policies, it was expected that people’s long-controlled desire to travel would be satisfied, but no one expected it would do so to this extent.The outstanding tourism performance during this year’s May Day holiday mainly resulted from the improvement of public services. Actually, even before the holiday, many places were improving tourism facilities to meet the increased stream of visitors. Zibo in Shandong province, popular for its barbecue, for example, opened parking lots and toilets for the public for free. Only by improving public services can a region keep attracting tourists all the time.The explosive growth of tourism during the May Day holiday is a manifestation of China’s economic power, especially the power of the consumer market.

Humans’ voice sounds more pleasant than that of primates (灵长类动物) because we don’t have vocal membranes (声带膜), a new study suggests.Humans have vocal cords (声带), muscles in the top of the throat, which vibrate (振动) to produce sound. That unique part helps people control their voices well enough to produce sounds that form spoken language. However, unlike all the other studied primates, humans don’t have vocal membranes.To find out how vocal membranes affected spoken sounds, a team from Kyoto University took throats from monkeys that had died of natural causes and put the parts into devices, pushing air through the throats to see how the vocal cords and membranes would react. In the experiment, the researchers found that their vocal membranes and vocal cords vibrated together.Researchers said these vocal membranes make it harder for other primates to control the voices they make. Without these membranes, humans’ vocal source is m ore balanced, allowing better voice control and production of long and balanced voices. A key thing that distinguishes human speech from animal sounds is our control over the sounds we make.In humans, that sort of unpleasant voices can happen when we put extreme amounts of pressure on our voice, like baby crying and adult screaming. But those are rare cases. Researchers also said that our mouths and tongues could help control the voices. They are the basis of human languages.1. Why does the human voice sound less unpleasant?A．Humans have no vocal membranes.B．Vocal cords of humans are very narrow.C．Muscles in the human throat can hardly be controlled.D．Humans’ brains are structured differently from other primates.2. How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By exploring the history of human evolution.B．By referring to previous researches on primates.C．By observing monkeys’ vocal cords and membranes.D．By comparing the voice patterns of different animals.3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．A doubt about the research process.B．The importance of the research findings.C．Further explanation of the research results.D．The potential application of the research methods.4. Which can be the suitable title for the text?A．Why humans cry or scream?B．How primates make sounds?C．How primates develop languages?D．Why humans’ voice sounds pleasant?3. At the age of 70, the famous painter Marc Chagall discovered that by designing stained-glass windows, he could breathe bright color and light into his artwork.Born in 1887 in a Russian town, Chagall started painting when he was 19.

In France, Chagall learned new ways of painting, but stayed true to his childhood memories. While others chose modern subjects, he painted scenes of fantasy and fairy tales in an older, farmer-like way of life.One day, during a walk through the French countryside, he discovered a picturesque church He imagined replacing its walls with stained-glass windows.

Time is precious for students especially during finals. Having good skills of time management becomes so important.

So even if it sounds strange, spare time to get quality sleep.Prioritize (划分优先顺序) often.Keep a running list of the major tasks that you’re performing. Change it as often as necessary and refer to it when you feel worried about all the things you have to do. 2You can’t do so many all at once.3Although you might try hard to plan every detail of your routine, sometimes things just happen. You might get sick or your roommate loses your keys. Set aside as much time as you can each day for emergencies. That way, you needn’t deal with the unexpected in a rush.Schedule time to relax.Finals can be surprisingly stressful, and you may not realize how much harm they do to you until they’re over. Workload can sometimes be unbearable. Schedule some free time to make you mentally recharged. 4Ask for help when you need it.Asking for help is pretty normal during learning.
