高二上学期第二次英语月考试卷试题试卷 (2)
高二上学期第二次英语月考试卷试题试卷一、阅读理解As winter sets in, it’s the perfect time to get out of town and escape the seasonal mood disorder. Here are vacation ideas to adopt now.Costa RicaCosta Rica, located in the Valle del General, is an off-the-radar agriculture town that’s not overrun with tourists. The area is known for its coffee, pineapples and sugar cane plantations, as well as its rich forests. What’s more, you can enjoy horseback riding, spend afternoons at the spa or tour a nearby wildlife shelter to look out for colorful birds, sloths and other animals.Los Cabos, MexicoIf you love wine, travel to Los Cabos, a beautiful vacation destination at the southern edge of the Baja Peninsula. During your getaway(短假), you can enjoy special wine tastings and dinner cooked by Los Cabos’s Michelin-starred chef. There are wildlife-viewing opportunities, too. From December through May, you can spot whales, manta rays and more wildlife.Petit St Vincent, the GrenadinesThis private Caribbean island was free of the anger ofhurricanes Irma and Maria. What’s more, the whole island is only 115 acres and has 22 cottages. Each cottage is located in a quiet place, and you can expect to unplug and recharge phones with no wireless connections, televisions or telephones in the cottages. Even better, you can spend your days admiring fascinating marine life at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Diving Caribbean center.The Exumas, BahamasOn Fowl Cay’s 50-acre private island, you can enjoy a carefree escape. Days can be spent fishing, boating and diving before wandering along white sands. The resort(度假村) features large one-, two- and three-bedroom houses. Best of all, if you’re planning a group getaway or multigenerational trip, you rent the entire island for a one-of-a-kind island escape.1.Why does the author recommend these placed to readersA.To experience out-of-town sights.B.To beat winter blues.C.To escape from extreme weather.D.To treat mental disease.2.What do we know about Petit St VincentA.It survived hurricanes Irma and Maria.B.It’s a huge and quiet island.C.People can admire fish off shore.D.People can charge phones using wireless connections.3.Where can Tom best go with his grandparents and parentsA.Los Cabos, Mexico.B.Petit St Vincent, the Grenadines.C.Costa Rica.D.The Exumas, Bahamas.I was on my way home from work, cutting through the Bryant Park. On that day, the sun seemed to set faster than usual, and suddenly I found myself walking in the dark. I was less than half a mile from my apartment, but the path would lead me over a bridge, across train tracks, and through an unlit underpass. Then I heard him – a stranger running alongside me, partly obscured(遮掩) by the bushes. My mouth went dry; my legs felt like water. But I didn’t pick up my pace – instead, I stopped, turned, and faced him. He came out of the bushes and said he’d been watching me “for a long time”.As he walked beside me, I guided us towards the edge of the park. When we reached the bridge, a train rumbled(轰鸣着缓慢行进) past, and he seized the moment, attacking me with a knife around my throat. The self-defense skills I had learned years before kicked in, and I pushed my finger into his eye,hard. And then came the shock: That didn’t frighten him away. My mind flashed back to a tip from an old guitar teacher: “Press the strings lik e you’re squeezing a flea(跳蚤).” I put all my strength into that finger, and finally he let go.I was shaking with fear, but I looked him straight in the eye and began to back away. I turned to run the hell out of there, but then I remembered another self-defense lesson: Never run, because then you’re a target. So I walked away alone –through the dark tunnel as I dialed 911 with trembling fingers. If you ever find yourself in this situation, use these self-defense skills that you already know. They can really make all the difference to you.1.Which of the following word best describes the author’s way homeA.Well-traveled.B.Risky.C.Boring.D.Well-protected.2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggestA.The author was desperate to go home.B.The author was exhausted and thirsty.C.The author was in a state of fear.D.The author’s legs were wet.3.Which statement may the author agree withA.The man is a casual acquaintance of her.B.She was guarded home by the police finally.C.She might feel grateful for her self-defense skills.D.The man injured his eye himself when making an attack.4.What is the best title for the passageA.How I survived an attackB.Whether fortune smiles on meC.What one should do when in dangerD.Why self-defense skills are importantEverywhere we look, we are surrounded by technology. We heavily rely on technology for our day-to-day lives. There are the social media apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, where we are able to see into the lives of everyone around us. There are other more useful apps like Google Maps where you can use a GPS to get from one place to another. It is no wonder that we are constantly looking down at our phones and other devices. And, that is a problem.Pretty soon, I fear that people will no longer be able to communicate face to face. I personally love being able to sit down and have a conversation with someone sans cell phones and distractions. It shows that you care about who you are talking to and want to involve and listen to them. The cell phonecan wait until later.What I really dislike is that younger and younger children are using technology. Instead of playing outside with friends, they are playing on iPads, iPods, or video games. Instead of having little games or books, children now have electronic devices to use to distract them even if waiting at doctors’ appointments etc. They want cell phones at young ages. They have texting. I overheard sixth graders one day talking about texting, and I was a little sad. At that age, I had to call my friends on the phone in order to talk to them.We are a society based on technology. And, that isn’t a completely bad thing, given its use in areas such as medicine. But we shouldn’t be addicted to so many of these devices that we forget to look around and see what is happening in the world around us.1.What can be concluded from the first paragraphA.Some tech products leave us unable to focus.B.Social media apps make people more visible.C.Many people usually misuse social media apps.D.Technology provides us with a convenient life.2.Which can best replace the underlined word “sans”A.is need ofB.withoutC.is spite ofD.with3.What’s the author’s attitude towards using technology in medicineA.Indifferent.B.Opposed.C.Concerned.D.Supportive.4.What does the author really want to show in the passageA.We should take a step back from constantly using technology.B.The electronic devices are closely connected with our life.C.Society should no longer be based on technology.D.We should say goodbye to electronic devices.According to a new study from Cornell University, about one-fifth of the global population, of 2 billion people worldwide, will be forced to resettle or go deeper inland by 2100 due to the continuous rise in sea level.The study, published in the journal Land Use Policy, showed that the growing global population could make the matter worse. The researchers expected that there are about 1.4 billon “climate change refugees(难民)” in the world by 20xx and by 2100 the number of the displaced people due to the rising sea level could reach up to two billion.“We’re going to have more people on less land and sooner than we think,” said lead author Charles Geisler, professor at Cornell. “The future rise in global average sea level probably w on’t be gradual. Yet few policy makers are observing the significant barriers that coastal climate refugees, like other refugees, will run into when they move to higher ground.” For the study, the researchers reviewed(回顾) potential problems that climate change refugees may face if they go deeper inland. The researchers identified these land difficulties with relocation using three organizing groups. Including depletion(损耗) zones, win-lose zones and no-trespass(不得擅自进入) zones. By doing so, the researchers were able to provide primary estimates of their toll(损失) on inland resettlement space. The researchers found that some inland regions were unlikely to support new waves of climate change refugees due to the remains of war, road developments and rare natural resources.Apart from the rising sea level, increasing storm weather and the booming global population are also having a huge influence on the number of climate change refugees. Storm can push seawater further inland. The increasing global population requires more land even as the ocean swallows up rich costalzones and river deltas(三角洲). These force people to search for new places to move to higher ground.1.What would happen if the sea level were to riseA.2 billion people would be “refugees” by 20xx.B.50% of the population would lose their homes.C.Inland regions would become more crowded.D.Coastal regions would be polluted seriously.2.What can be inferred from Charles Geisler’s wordsA.The sea level will go up in a little-by-little way.B.Moving to higher land isn’t the key solution.nd and population vary according to climate change.D.Policy makers should think more for climate change refugees.3.Why do climate change refugees fail to move to some inland regionsA.Because they can’t live a common life there.B.Because they can’t adapt to the climate there.C.Because they may consume more than expected.D.Because they will destroy the natural resources.4.What does the author stress in the last paragraphA.Global warming is a double-edged sword.B.In the future climate will become worse.C.The earth will see more climate change refugees.D.Sea will bring humans more disadvantages.二、七选五No one ever said final week is easy. Late-night cramming(填鸭式的用功) accompanied by cup after cup of coffee can take its toll〔产生恶果，产生损害〕 on your body, not to mention all of the test stress. But while you try to review as many books as possible to prepare for your tests, don’t forget your health.1. Here are some tips on dieting.2.Grabbing an Orion cake from the vending machine〔自动贩卖机〕is attractive, but it’s important to stick to fresher, more nutritious food. A banana or an orange with some trail mix(干果什锦) or yogurt will fill you up better than junk food.3. Eat a wholesome breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time you always do.Stay hydrated〔含水的〕Drink plenty of water, and then drink some more.4.. Sugary soft drinks will do no good. Spice up your water with fruits like lemon, or swap it for unsweetened flavorful tea, which rehydrates just as well as water.Proper caffeine intake(摄入) from coffee and energydrinksEveryone could use a quick energy booser, but too much could leave you feeling anxious, unable to sleep or focus. 5..A. The last place you need to experience caffeine withdrawal is in the middle of your examsB. After all, if y ou’re sick and uncomfortable during your tests, every effort you’ve made might be in vainC. Eat healthily and regularlyD. Cook meals by yourselfE. Don’t change your food schedule too muchF. It will help your mind stay clear and keep your energy levels highG. However, once you are sick and uncomfortable, you won’t get a high grade in exams三、完形填空Love is a hot topic, but what is love Here is a story. It took me a long time before I was able to fully understand my grandparents’ love. They wrote the word “Shmily” in a surprising place for the other to find.______one of them discovered it , it was his/her turn to _____it once more---in shoes, under pillows, even in toilet paper…Their way of life, rather than only a game, _____their love, which not everyoneis _____enough to experience.

AWe’ve tested hundreds of mom-approved products that happen to make perfect Mother’s Day gifts. Here are our recommendations.BabbelIf your mom has always wanted to learn a new language, give her the gift of gab with Babbel. Each online course will be personalized by her interests and molded into bite-sized lessons so she can easily learn at her own pace. It’s a great budget-friendly option for diving into a new language. We tested it and found it to be a fun and effective language learning tool.Thermo Works Thermapen Mk4When it comes to the best digital meat thermometers, it doesn’t get better than Thermo Works. We highly recommend the Thermapen ONE, which was the fastest and most accurate thermometer we tested and would have been our top pick if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s waterproof, precise and fast-acting.A Bouqs SubscriptionFresh flowers at Mom’s doorstep will always be appreciated, especially on Mother’s Day. This year, instead of just one bouquet, gift her a subscription (订购）to Bouqs. You can change the frequency of the delivery along with the type of blooms she receives — roses one month, sunflowers the next. She may adorably text you a picture of her bouquet every month it arrives and remind you to maintain the subscription. Go ahead and switch it up to keep Mom on her toes.A Personalized Collage (拼贴画)There are few gifts better than personalized ones, especially when it comes to the mom who pretty much already has everything. With services like Minted, you can upload your own photos for a collage and watch your beautiful creation come to life. Customize the frame and color theme to best match mom’s style and watch her fall in love with her new heartfelt gift.1. What might discourage people from choosing the Thermapen ONE?A. Price.B. Function.C. Accuracy.D. Appearance.2. What do we know about A Bouqs Subscription?A. It can be canceled at random.B. It texts to remind renewing.C. It restricts to monthly deliveries.D. It offers wide choices of flowers.3. In which column of a website is the text probably taken from ?A. Life.B. Wellness.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.6. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.CFrom crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees, Canada’s nature is admired around the world. Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered. An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health — both mental and physical — by taking a stroll (散步) in nature.The prescriptions are provided by PaRX, in partnership with Parks Canada. The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves. PaRX, a health initiative (倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia Parks Foundation, notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives, increased energy, reduced stress and anxiety, improved heart health, less pain and better mood. Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits. The organization also hopes that the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba. Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with nature,” Steven Guilbeault, the environment minister, said. “I am confident this programme will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand throughout the country.”Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a treatment for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, immune function and insomnia (失眠). Previously, though, they would write more general prescriptions, such as spending time in nature twice a week, for at least 20 minutes at a time. This is the first time that they have been able to equip their patients with tickets.8. Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A. To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.B. To advertise Canada’s natural scenery.C. To introduce a health initiative program.D. To demonstrate health benefits of nature.9. What makes the prescriptions significant?A. A boom in park visiting.B. A rise in economy.C. Investment in conservation.D. Improvement in health.10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Patients doubt the general prescriptions.B. The previous “nature therapy” is popular.C. It is a tradition to offer patients park tickets.D. “Nature therapy” is no longer just on paper.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Nature Heals Mental DiseasesB. Canada Possesses Admirable NatureC. Doctors Order A Walk in The WildernessD. Canadian Doctors Have Free Access to ParksDFeeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities ( like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.12.What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Magic solution.B. Physical power.C.Psychological test.D. Relaxed atmosphere.13.How did the researchers carry out the new study?A.By doing large-scale online surveys.B.By giving interviews and mental tests.C.By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D.By conducting experiments and analyzing data.14.What is a distinct finding of the new research?A.Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B.Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C.Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D.How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.15.What is the focus of the last paragraph?A.The importance of burning stress.B.Easy and fun activities to kill time.C.Further explanation of being productive.D.The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

外研版⾼⼆英语必修5Module 2测试试题及答案(2) 第三部分：阅读理解(共20⼩题，每题2分，满分40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。
A You do not need every word to understand the meaning of what you read . In fact , too much emphasis (强调) on separate words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension . First , any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak , or read aloud , is inefficient . If you point to each word as you read , or move your head , or form the words with your lips , you read poorly . Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency (效率) . One is “saying” each word silently by moving your tongue or throat ; another is “ hearing” each word as you read . These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago . The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words , how written words are pronounced , and how sentences are put together . Your reading purpose is quite different ; it is to understand meaning . It has been supposed that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for expressing the meaning . The secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought , and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness . An efficient reader can grasp the meaning fr om a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud . He takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time . If he “says” or “hears” words to himself , they are selected ones , said for emphasis . 56.This passage is mainly about .A.improving eye movementB.reading more widelyC.changing poor r eading habitsD.reading as fast as you can 57.Saying each word to yourself as you read .A.improves comprehensionB.increases reading speedC.gives too much emphasisD.reduces reading efficiency 58.Our reading purpose should be .A.to understand all the wordsB.to make fewer eye movementsC.to understand meaningD.to understand the grammatical structures 59.While reading , efficient readers usually .A.move their eyes quicklyB.take in whole phrases or thought unitsC.point at key wordsD.read only important points for speed B Despite their name , the Want Family don’t want much . They want enough money for a nice house and a holiday every year . But they don’t’ want to be millionaires . They want to do well at their jobs . But they don’t want to be the big boss . They do want to spend time improving their garden , visiting their families and taking their two kids , Nicolas and Leuan , to McDonald’s for lunch . But they don’t want to be famous . The Wants just want to be normal. That’s why they are famous . They have been selected as the most normal family in Britain . After a six-month search for the most ordinary family in Britain , the Wants were selected from hundreds of applicants . Jo hn wants a job in marketing for a food company , Claire has a part-time job renting out children’s play equipment . John doesn’t understand why they were chosen to represent ordinary English families . How are they normal ? That is not a bad question . Nearl y ev eryone does some of the things that the Wants do .But veryfew people do all of them . There have been great changes in the social structure of British life . It is becoming more common for people to have children when they are older than the Wants , and to have one child instead of two . A household with two children may be headed by a single parent , usually the mother . Or perhaps dad and mum are still together , but not married . Or maybe dad and mum are married . Dad goes out to work and mum stays at home and looks after the kids . They have traditional values —Every weekend the whole family goes to church . “What we have here is not an average family , but a traditional family,” says Cary Cooper , professor of philosophy at Lancaster University . “There is no such thing as a normal family anymore , in the way there was 20 or 30 years ago . Of course the Wants exist , but for what do we need to celebrate them ?”Perhaps because we think normal families are an endangered species . Examples of them have to be preserved (保护)to show future generations . 60.The Wants were selected as the most normal family in Britain because .A.they represent traditional Engish familiesB.they don’t want muchC.they don’t want to be famousD.they want to be normal 61.The following statements describe the great changes in British life EXCEPT that . A.people have kids later than 20 or 30 years ago B.some children are brought up by a single parent C.most families go to church every weekend D.it’s more common for families to have only one kid 62.We may infer from the passage that . A.most British families hold traditional values B.traditional families are becoming fewer and fewer C.future generations are expected to study traditional families D.traditional families no longer exist in Britain 63.What might be the most suitable title for this passage ?A.An Ordinary FamilyB.Families of Future GenerationsC.Celebration of a Family CompetitionD.A Normal But Special Family C To understand the marketing concept , it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling . Not too many years ago , most industries fixed their attention mainly on the production of goods , and then depended on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible and then change them into money . Marketing , on the other hand , focuses on the wants of customers . It begins with first understanding the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them . This eye-on-the-consumer way is known as the marketing concept , which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale , the makers and dealers first try to find out what the consumer wants to buy . This concept does not mean that business is friendly or that consumer satisfaction is more important than profit in a company . Successful businessmen and producers , however , recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and satisfying customers . A striking example of the importance of satisfying customers presented itself in mid-1985 , when Coca-Cola changed the flavor of its drink . The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a large majority of the public brought about quick return of the Classic Coke , which was then marketed alongside the new . King Customer ruled ! 64.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is . A.the practice of turning goods into money B.the customer-centered way C.a way of making more goods D.a form of persuasive salesmanship 65.What mattered most for producers before the marketing concept was widely accepted ?A.Needs and understanding of the market .B.Production and profit of a company .C.Satisfaction of customers .D.Preference of businessmen . 66.According to the passage , the underlined word “move” (paragraph1) means .A.sellB.changeC.produceD.consume 67.What does the return of the Classic Coke best show ? A.Traditional goods have a stronger attraction to the majority of people . B.It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public . C.Consumers with different tastes are often difficult to please . D.Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumers . D To Lauder Exchange Program : Gaia Filicori was a student in my Humanities class for the 2002-2003 year . From the first week of classes it was obvious that Gaia was an excellent student and a very sociable young lady . She was always eager to join in class discussions . Gaia’s ability to communicate her own ideas is a skill that many of us work for a very long time to achieve . Gaia also has a deep curiosity about the world around her . The simple fact that she desires to spend a year in another country is proof enough . I have also seen her show this curiosity in class . She asked some of the most interesting and thoughtful questions of any of the students in her class . When others were content to accept a point , Gaia would see from a new angle that none of us had tried . As a student in Humanities , Gaia was requ ired to complete a group project . The project was to write a page for a Humanities textbook using text and multi-media . It was a challenging task and Gaia’s group was experiencing some difficulties . Yet , they had an easier time of it because they did not hesitate to come to me with their problems and try to work them out . As a result Gaia and her group had one of the more successful projects . The ability needed to recognize a problem and ask for help to solve it will be of great value if she is selected to be a Lauder Exchange student . Gala’s interest in the world around her will serve her well as a Lauder Exchange student . The ease with which she gets along with others and the ease with which she makes new friends will also help her as she tries to learn in a foreign setting . I have no doubts that Gaia would be a wonderful representative of the Lauder Program , Stuyvesant High School , and the United States . Perry Jones Social Studies Stuyvesant High School If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me . 212-312-4800;*************** 68.The main purpose of this letter is to A.express a student’s curiosity about the world B.introduce a student to an exchange program C.praise an excellent student D.encourage a student to join in an exchange program 69.According to the writer , Gaia seems to h ave all the following abilities EXCEPT . municating well with others B.thinking about things from different angles C.making new friends D.learning a language quickly in a foreign setting 70.Gaia shows her curiosity about the world by . A.hoping to spend a year in another country B.being content to accept a point C.getting along well with others D.serving well as a Lauder Exchange student 71.Perry Jones might be . A.Gala’s classmate B.a person in charge of Stuyvesant High School C.Gaia’s teacher D.a person in charge of Lauder Exchange Program E We sometimes think humans are the only species which can bear anxiety , but stress seems to affect the immune (免疫) system of lower animals too . In one experiment , for example , behavioral scientist Mark Lauden , at the University of Denver , gave mild electric shocks to 24 rats . Half of the animals could turn off the electricity by turning a wheel in their cage , while the other half could not . The rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Lauden found that the immune reaction was below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity . What he has proved is that lack of control over an event , not the experience itself , is what weakens the immune system . Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss , a scientist at Duke University School of Medicine , has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasant stimuli (刺激)don’t develop sleep disorder or changes in brain chemistry of stressed rats . But if the animals are faced with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control . Such findings make researchers believe that the experience or feeling of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in stress. One of the most surprising examples of how the mind can change the immune reaction was discovered by chance. In 1995 Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine experimented on mice to avoid saccharin (糖精)by feeding them at the same time with the sweetener and a drug that while harming their immune systems caused stomach upsets . Connecting the saccharin with stomach pains , the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener . In order to get rid of this dislike for the sweetener, Ader fed the animals with saccharin again , this time without the drug , and was astonished to find that those mice that had received the highest amount of sweetener the first time died . He believed that saccharin alone weakened their immune systems enough to kill them. uden’s experiment showed that the immune system of those rats who could turn off the electricity .A.was strengthenedB.was not affectedC.was changedD.was weakened 73.According to the passage , the experience of helplessness causes rats to .A.try to control unpleasant stimuliB.turn off the electricityC.behave passively I controllable situationsD.become harmful 74.The reason why the mice in Ader’s experiment avoided saccharin was that .A.they disliked its tasteB.it affected their immune systemsC.it led to stomach painsD.they connected it with stomach pains 75.According to the passage , the most probable reason for the death of the mice in Ader’s experiment was that . A.they had been weakened by the saccharin B.the sweetener was poisonous to them C.the immune systems had been changed by the mind D. they had taken too much sweetener during the first experiment 第Ⅱ卷(⾮选择题，共35分) 第⼆节书⾯表达(满分25分) 假设你是李华，你所在的城市向市民征求交通⽅⾯的意见。

A“Mom, I’m going to take my travel journal to school, okay? I want to show my teacher. ” The summer holiday is one of the main topics of conversation at the beginning of each school year. Friends and teachers want to know all about the fun. What better way to recount the experience than show them with a travel journal? Travel journals are as individual as your child, but with the following tips, you can make one too.Start with the bookA good journal is big enough to allow room for drawings, writing, photos, and souvenirs. If it’s too small, nothing will fit. My family finds artist sketchbooks to be the best because the paper is heavier and a good quality to draw on. They also hold up well when souvenirs such as postcards or ticket stubs are pasted in.Educational additionsLoad a simple map of your route and paste it in the book. If you’re traveling through several states or provinces, create a section in the book for each leg of your journey. Use a brightly colored marker to plot your route and stickers to show important points along the way. You may also wish to include coloring pages of state flags and animals, along with interesting trivia about your family travel destination.A picture says a thousand wordsYou may be surprised how judicial(公正) kids become when given a disposable camera and permission to take photos of whatever is important to them. Develop the photosen route, and you have an instant quiet time activity. Avoid disappointment; take a back up photo on you camera as well.With a travel journal, the question, “What did you do this summer? ”takes on a whole new meaning. A drawing here, a quote there, and a few pictures quickly add up to a wonderful book full of memories that can be shared with friends and family for many years to come. After all, isn’t that what family vacations are for?21. The first paragraph serves as _________.A. a descriptionB. a suggestionC. an introductionD. a summary22. Why does the author’s family like artist sketchbooks the best?A. They hold many drawings.B. They are heavy and large enough.C. They can be kept as good souvenirs.D. Their paper is suitable for drawing.23. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to make a travel journal.B. Making a summer holiday fun.C. Advantages of keeping a travel journal.D. The real meaning of a family vacation.BUp until about 3 years ago, I never really questioned my identity but now I amf a r m o r e a w a r e o f i t. Sometimes I’ll say really crazy things like “I wonder what I’d look like with pale yellow hair”, and my father only smiles. I guess growing up with Western parents and living in a fairly Western society have made me feel rather “Western”. However, my mother thought that it was still important for me to stay connected to my “roots”.Our family would go on various trips to China, sightseeing and learning more about the culture. I would attend Saturday Chinese (language) school and whenever my school had a culture or an international day, my mother would encourage me to dress up in Chinese dress or bring Chinese food. The key word: encouraged. Not forced.Understanding my native culture and tradition and knowing other children just like me were obviously important ideas my mother valued when it came to bringing up her two Chinese daughters. I have never really had any identity issues; however, Ifind that now I have become less interested in maintaining a strong link to my Chinese tradition. This is because I started traveling and seeing more of the world, and grew up in a very Western lifestyle.What do I mean by this? I have started to become more aware of their customs. But do not think I did not appreciated the opportunity I had to learn about my culture;I will never truly stop being Chinese, but as I grow older, I want to declare myselfa full-and-through Australian.I am on a Chinese Adoption Facebook group and I decide to ask for some ideas on how they feel about being open to learning their native culture.24. According to the text, the writer’s roots are in _________.A. ChinaB. AustraliaC. AmericaD. France25. The writer stays connected to China by the following ways EXCEPT _______.A. traveling to ChinaB. cooking Chinese foodC. attending Chinese language schoolD. learning Chinese culture26. What can we infer about the writer and her family?A. The writer is a nice girl with beautiful golden hair.B. The writer wants to be strongly connected with Chinese tradition.C. The writer prefers the Western lifestyle to the Chinese one.D. The writer’s present parents both come from Australia.27. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. The experience the writer’s family had while traveling in China.B. The writer’s feeling about her special identity.C. The effect the Western lifestyle has on the writer.D. Others’ responses the writer received to her question.CCommon-cold SenseYou can’t beat it, but you don’t have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because it’s more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn’t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults—an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven’t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune(免疫的)to it –but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person’s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant(消毒剂) soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene won’t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方)of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you’ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.28. According to the essay, you may have a cold because ____________.A. the weather is too coldB.another person’s coughing passes the cold to youC.the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infectedD.you wash your hands too often29. Children have more colds because _________.A. they are not immune to many cold viruses yetB.they are usually infected about eight times each yearC.they never wash their hands so that their thumbnails are dirtyD.they don’t like eating lemon30. When you are having a cold, ___________.A. it is always the same kind of cold that you had last timeB.it is certainly not the same kind of cold that you had last timeC.it may be the same kind of cold that you had last timeD.it is probably not the same kind of cold that you had last time31. When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT ________.A.coughingB. having a sore throatC. having a stomachacheD. havinga runny noseDThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining andpassing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren’t speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.32. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “___________”.A. preventB. differC. benefitD. change33. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.34. The author proves his statements mainly by __________.A. listing dataB. giving explanationsC. quoting sayingsD. making examples35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughterB. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?C. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Who is a mother’s best friend?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

人教版高二英语第一册 Unit 2 单元测试题(含答案)
人教版高二英语第一册 Unit 2 单元测试题（含答案）Ⅰ.阅读理解ASummer is that time of this year 2023 when everyone looks to escape from boring activities of life.So bring your kids to join us to have fun in the summer camp.OutdoorWordGameAll you need to do is set up many huge letters that can be easily moved.These letters will help kids spell out certain words.Teenagers would also love something like this as it gives them opportunities to invest their time in learning new words.SprayPaintingTo bring out the creativity in a person,an activity centered on spray painting is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing.All you need to do is provide plain white T-shirts and some cans of coloured spray paint.It will be quite surprising to see some of the original ideas that will flow from individuals.OutdoorTwisterA person will be in charge of monitoring the game and will call out colours which can be placed outdoors.Participants have the task of placing either their hands or legs on the same colour.A fun and exciting game focuses on hand-eye coordination(协调).TheMaze(迷宫)One of the most fun games is the hallway maze game where a maze is constructed(建造) from either toilet paper or strings of paper.The chosen participant is then asked to make his or her way through the maze within a limited time without touching paper.This is one of the best and entertaining summer camp ideas for kids and adults.1.Which game will use toilet paper?（）A.Spray Painting.B.The Maze.C.Outdoor Twister.D.Outdoor Word Game.2.What should you prepare for Spray Painting?（）A.Some juice cans.B.Some huge letters.C.Some white T-shirts and paint.D.Some white T-shirts and colour boards.3.What is the rule of the maze game?（）A.Participants must avoid touching the construction.B.Participants must do the same outdoors.C.Participants must use either their hands or legs.D.Participants must be teens or kids only.BWhat do you plan to do when you retire?Keep working?Get more exercise?Or learn something new?You may put them on hold.There’s a chance that,sooner or later,you might have to move further than you were thinking,as far as Mars.On Thursday,NationalGeographic will show the first-ever Mars show home,giving earthlings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the red planet.In the not-so-distant year of 2037,the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil,called regolith,which has been microwaved into bricks.Some parts of the home arerecognizable—a kitchen,a bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s,people will need permanent(永久的) shelter from the sun;society will move largely indoors.Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows.The homes will have simulated solar lighting or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick,to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel.The homes will also have a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive,but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek,author ofHowWe’llLiveonMars.This is not just the stuff of sci-fi.“10 to 20 years from now,there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars,but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says.But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game,and influential films such as Gravity and TheMartian have caught people’s attention.4.What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in paragraph 1 probably mean?（）A.Put them off.B.Give them away.C.Carry them through.D.Take them seriously.5.What can we infer about the show home from the text?（）A.It has no windows or doors due to security concern.B.Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.C.It has thick walls keeping the home under propel pressure.D.Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.6.According to Petranek,what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?（）A.The development of related technology.B.The competition from private companies.C.The great influence of the Mars show home.D.The popularity of influential books on Mars.7.What is the best title for the text?（）A.Living on Mars:Possible or NotB.Sending People to Mars:Yes or NoC.First-Ever Show Home:How Is It MadeD.Future Home on Mars:What Will It Be LikeⅡ.七选五For years,Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwich shop.Despite its being so close to home,they preferred to dine in,and always tipped generously when they did.But,during the pandemic in 2020,the cafe temporarily closed,then reopened—for takeout orders only.So their new routine became to order online,go pick up their food,and eat it at home. 1That is,until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them.“I was wondering if I’m doing something wrong,because you never leave a tip,” she said.Eric attempted to explain:“Beca use we aren’t being waited on,we didn’t think tipping was necessary.” 2 “She stormed off,” Jessica says.The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips.Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all,while others don’t interact with cus tomers the same way. 3 Meanwhile,many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.“ 4 We were tipping based on emotion,and that may not have had anything to do with the service.And that service also became harder to assess,” says Toni Dupree,a professional etiquette(礼仪) coach.Some old standards no longer seem fair,and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.Next time,in Dupree’s view,you’re unsure whethe r a tip is in order,follow this simple rule: 5 The novelist George Eliot asked,“What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds:“Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”A.When in doubt,tip.B.That made it worse.C.It is service itself that counts.D.Tipping never crossed their minds.E.To enjoy good services,tipping is a must.F.Just as many services have changed,so should tipping.G.Tips dried up in either case,causing a lot of people to suffer.Ⅲ.完形填空I am an imaginative girl.I have always been 1 about the future just like the great novelist,Liu Cixin.What will life be like in the future?What will happen to humans and other living things?When I was a little girl,I often thought about these questions and drew 2 of my imaginary future life in my album.How will people in the future 3 ?Perhaps there will be cities underground,in the air or in the sea,where there will be new kinds of 4 like underground express trains,airships and undersea trains.With 5 technology,we may even be able to fly on a broom,just like Harry Potter.Living conditions will also certainly 6 .Just imagine such a house in 7 it feels like spring all year because of an intelligent thermostat.All complicated and boring chores will be 8 by a robot.As for travel,it may be possible to travel through time and space freely.What if there were time machines to travel to any time in history?If I could 9 a time machine,I would go to the age of dinosaurs and take them to the 10 .By that time,more and more people would 11 dinosaurs as pets—you might even see people walk dinosaurs in the streets.Maybe one day,riding flying dinosaurs to fly to schools in cities will be common.All kinds of creatures will work and play with us.What a harmonious world it will be!However,as science and technology 12 ,pollution may become more serious,and then people will need to 13 new planets to live on.At the same time,human beings may 14 become too dependent on science and technology,but I’m 15 that we can solve these problems step by step.1.A.careful

It is soft inside and hard outside, which is __39__ of rocks. It has a shell( 壳) just __40__ an egg. There are some cracks (裂缝 ) __41__ the shell of the earth in some places. In New Zealand this part of the shell seems to have more cracks __42__ in other places on the earth. There are places where the ground is __43__ hot that it burns your feet. In some places, hot water shoots into the air from _44___ to time. And in other places, you can __45__ the water boiling and the __46__ coming up from pools of hot water. ___47__ you put some eggs in the hot water, __48___ will be done in a few minutes.In those places people make ___49__ of the heat that comes from inside the earth. Some of _50__ cook food in the hot pools. They put food into a container and place it in the water. __51__ a while the food will be ready to __52___. Many people bring the hot water from below the earth into their homes. Theydo this by putting a long _53___ into the ground. In this way they get hot water and steam for cooking and washing, and for heating their homes.For most of us, the heat under our feet is too far away to use. The people who get heat from inside the earth are __54__ . They don’t have to _55__ for the hear they use.36. A. a B./ C. theD. one37. A. of B. overC. withD. on38.

It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug .Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident,they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.For Americans, thumbs-up means "yes", "very good" or "well done". Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them. Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.6. When you shake hands with an American, you should _______ .A. shake his / her hand firmlyB. put your hands on his / her shoulderC. shake his / her hand gentlyD. give him / her a hug afterward7. In the US, people usually _______ if you stand too close to them.A. feel friendlyB. get uncomfortableC. keepstill D. hit you angrily8. If you talk with an American friend, it's polite to _______ .A. stare at him / herB. look at the groundC. look at him / her in the eyesD. look here and there9. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact _______ .A. means that you are number oneB. wants to please youC. needs to call a waiterD. expresses his satisfaction to you10. What's the main idea of this passage?A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.B. Every country has their own gestures.C. Learning a culture's body language is very important and necessary.D.

ABig Space Events To Put In Your Calendar For2022MAY—CHINA*SPACE STATION GETS BIGGERMay will see the launch of a new module for the Tiangong space station,China's"Palace in the sky”.Its first core module,Tianhe was launched last April.The next module will be Wentian,a laboratory expected to launch between May and June.It will also serve as a backup core module and the place where future spacewalks from the taikonauts will take place.It will be followed by a second laboratory module,Mengtian,in August-September. JUNE—INDIA'S SPACECRAFT TAKES ITS FIRST FLIGHTISRO,the Indian Space Research Organization,has announced that Gaganyaan（which translates to Sky Craft）will have is first unscrewed fight in June.The craft is panned to be a key vehicle in the Indian Human Spaceflight Program and,all going well in this test;it will be followed by a crewed test next year.JULY—RUSSIA EYES THE MOONAGAINRussia's Luna program had many successes with landers,rovers,and even sample returns,and Luna25is expected to follow in that tradition according to Russian Space Agency,Roscomos.The mission this fine is just a lander expected to touch down near the Lunar South Pole with instruments designed to study the soil.The location might be a possible area of interest for a permanent base on the Moon.AUGUST—MORE LUNAR MISSIONSAugust will see the launch of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter,a panned lunar orbiter by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute（KARI）.This will be the first Korean Lunar Mission,a technology demonstration for KARI.21.Which country will carry out multiple space tasks this year?A.China.B.India.C.Russia.D.Korea22.What do we know about Luna25?A.It will operate in low lunar orbit.B.It will take a land on the Moon.C.It will serve as a permanent base.D.It will take its first crewed flight.23.When is the first Korean Lunar Mission scheduled?A.In May.B.In June.C.In July.D.In AugustBA recent story in the Wall Street Journal newspaper looked at students who went to celebrated universities such asColumbia and New York University,for advanced degrees in subjects like art,film and even social work.Many of the students said they learned a lot.However,when they graduated,they were deep in debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their loans.Students said they spoke with Columbia about the high cost of advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable cation experts say the school is very wealthy,with large funds.The University,however, prefers to ask the students to pay the full cost.Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America,a public policy research center.He called master's degrees"a scam“in a conversation."Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super problematic,he said.Castillo is an actor in New York City.He earned an MFA from The Actors Studio in New York City.Was his MFA worth the cost?"I do think it was worth it.I don't put a price tag on my education or my experience.I think it's sort of unfortunate that so many people take education for granted.Castillo said students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they are doing it because they value the education,not because they want money or to be famous.Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City.She attended graduate school both at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of Lowa.Arts graduate programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with whom they can work throughout their careers.For school to be of value,students need to remember why they started making art in the beginning."It's just for the pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way.”24.What's the problem for students in famous universities for art advanced degrees?A.They can't take loans.B.They can't find any work.C.They may be heavily in debt.D.They may drop out of university.25.What does the underlined word"scam"in paragraph3mean?A.Way.B.Trick.C.Skill.D.Game.26.What does Castillo think of his MFA?A.He thinks highly of it.B.It's a waste of money.C.He takes it for granted.D.It brings him fame and money.27.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Arts graduate programs ensure a promising future.B.Students had better consider whether they can afford the fee.C.Arts graduate programs introduce celebrity artists to their students.D.Students should stick to their original purposes while learning.COxygen,I'm sure you'd agree,is pretty important for life on Earth.We breathe it in,our cells survive on it and without it,we hardly live.Basically,all multicellular life on Earth evolved over millions of years to make use of oxygen.But take a deep breath,because we need to talk about Henneguya salminicola,a tiny parasite（寄生虫）containing fewer than100cells that lives within the muscle tissue of salmon,a large fish with silver skin and pink flesh. The strange-looking parasite does not busy itself with such small matters as breathing oxygen.Nope,it seems that H.salminicola is the first multicellular animal we've found that survives without the stuff.“Aerobic respiration（有氧口乎吸）was thought to be commonly found in animals,but now we confirmed that this is not the case,“said Dorothee Huchon,a zoologist at Tel Aviv University in Israel,in a press release.Huchon and a team of international researchers examined and sequenced（排序）all of.salmincola’s genes in their study,published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.They found that the parasite,which is closely related to jellyfish,lacks the DNA machinery necessary to“breathe'Mt doesn't'have mitochondria（线粒体）,often called the"powerhouse"of the cell,because they use oxygen to make energy.It's like a little factory inside almost all cells,and DNA detectives can find mitochondrial genes during sequencing.The discovery came as something of an accident for the team,who were examining the genome(the complete set of genes)of the species.When they went searching for the mitochondrial genes,they came up empty-handed."Our discovery shows that evolution can go in strange directions,Huchon said."Aerobic respiration is a major source of energy,and yet we found an animal that gave up this important pathway.”Some single-celled life forms have evolved the ability to survive without oxygen and do not have mitochondria, either.Plenty of bacteria can exist without oxygen at all.Instead of oxygen,they get their energy from fernentation(发酵)or use other molecules like iron.But how H.salminicola produces energy is still unclear.Huchon suggests it could draw oxygen from the cells in salmon or it could have evolved similar methods to those of single-celled organisms which scientists have documented in the past.28.What can we learn about Henneguya salminicola?A.It is an animal consisting of a cell.B.It can still survive without oxygen.C.It takes on a normal appearance.D.It has a longer life span than salmon.29.What is the main function of mitochondria?A.To make cells breathe fast.B.To help to produce oxygen.C.To provide energy for cells.D.To help cells absorb oxygen.30.How did Huchon probably feel about the discovery?A.Interested.B.Satisfied.C.Astonished.D.Frightened.31.What could be the most suitable title for the text?A.The natural evolution of animal cellsB.Different kinds of life forms on earthC.A research on single-celled organismsD.A creature that doesn't breathe oxygenDIn these days of information overload,it's never been more important to keep track of and back up your data.The problem is that digital storage doesn't last forever.Hard disks fail,phones tumble out of our pockets,and tablets are beaten up by grandchildren.This is why it is important to think carefully about your back-up strategy.Online back-ups are easier,arguably.All of the big tech players have online storage you can treat like your ownhard disk.Google has Google Drive,Apple has iCloud,and Microsoft has OneDrive.All you have to do is download the app for service you want to use to your computer or phone.Most Cloud storage apps even have the option to automatically upload your camera roll,so when you take new photos they511be sent up to the Cloud as soon as you connect to wifi.Offline storage is slightly trickier.Looking after Cloud files is Google5s or Microsoft's problem.But offline, figuring out what equipment to buy is something you need to figure out for yourself.The most obvious option is to buy a portable USB hard drive.Just plug it into your computer and you can copy important files to it.This is definitely a better approach than doing absolutely nothing,but there5s still a problem:if your back-up drive fails,you still lose everything.This is why if you5re serious about backing up-and you should be-I recommend the slightly pricier option of getting a device known as a NAS,which stands for""Network Attached Storage“and is basically a mini computer that you can plug directly into your wifi router.Some companies have devices available that contain only one hard drive, but I recommend buying one with space for at least two.This is because on most NAS models,two hard disks can work together to keep your files safe.Instead of appearing as separate hard disks,they can be combined using a feature called"RAID”,standing for"Redundant Array of Independent Disks”and it basically tells your NAS to treat the two hard disks inside it as though they were one drive,with the contents mirrored on both drives automatically.It means that if one of the two drives goes kaput,you still have a perfectly functioning mirror copy with all your files safely stored on it.The only thing considered undesirable is that a decent NAS tends to start at around£300,and that excludes the price of the hard disks themselves.But before you scream in horror,remember-this is for your most important files, to keep them safe.So,as annoying as it might sound,this is important.Just as you wouldn't leave your home with a risky boiler or drive a car with faulty brakes.It5s time to do the boring but important thing and spend the money to get your data backed up-before it is too late.32.Why are online back-ups easier?A.Because all of the big tech companies offer online storage free of charge.B.Because you just need to download the Cloud storage app for service you want.C.Because it is the service providers that are to blame if your Cloud files get lost.D.Because the data of your digital device is uploaded to the Cloud automatically.33.What can we learn about NAS?A.It's a device that you can plug into your computer.B.RAID is used to separate two hard disks inside NAS.C.It tends to be very costly even without hard disks.D.Most of them contain only one hard drive within.34.What does the underlined word"kaput”in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A.Tom.B.Broken.C.Lost.D.Shut.35.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Strategies for backing up data.B.Solutions to information overload.C.Problems concerning digital storage.D.Reasons for keeping track of your data.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
