山西省晋城市城区晋城市第一中学校2022-2023学年高二上学期11月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Xi'an enjoys a reputations as a “Living History Museum” due to its rich, diverse collection of historical and cultural treasures. Apart from the Terracotta Warriors, there are also some other attractions in the city. Here are some of them.Ancient City WallXi'an City Wall was built in the 14th century in the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.Giant Wild Goose Pagoda （塔）Situated in an ancient temple, the pagoda built with layers of bricks was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is traditional Chinese architecture. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store Buddhist scriptures（经文）and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang, who stayed here for 19 years translating Buddhist scriptures.Shaanxi History MuseumThe Shaanxi History Museum, built in 1991，is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years, The museum consists of three main sections. Its collections range from bronze ware（器血）to pottery ware, gold and silver ware and mural paintings from the Tang Dynasty tombs.The Muslim QuarterOne of the highlights is its local snacks when you tour Xian. The best food destination is the Muslim Quarter，which has a history of several hundred years. Consisting of a number of food streets, the area has become a famous attraction in the city for its rich and authentic Muslim cultural atmosphere.1．In which place can you know more about Buddhism?A．Ancient City Wall.B．Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.C．Shaanxi History Museum.D．The Muslim Quarter.2．What can you do when you visit the Muslim Quarter?A．Great some bronze wares.B．Eat diverse delicious snacks.C．Visit some watchtowers.D．Translate Buddhist scriptures.3．What do you know from the text?A．The Shaanxi History Museum has exhibits made of gold.B．Xuan Zang died in the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.C．The Xi'an City Wallis the oldest Chinese city wall.D．The Muslim Quarter has a history of 100 years.Scientists in the Netherlands have trained bees to identify COVID-19 through their sense of smell, according to a press release from Wageningen University. The research was conducted on more than 150 bees in Wageningen University’s bio-veterinary research laboratory.The scientists trained the bees by giving them a treat — a sugar-water solution — every time they were exposed to the scent of a mink (貂) infected with COVID-19. Each time the bees were exposed to a non-infected sample, they wouldn’t get a reward. Eventually, the bees could identify an infected sample within a few seconds — and would then stick out their tongues like clockwork to collect the sugar water.Bees aren’t the first animals to detect COVID-19 by scent. Researchers have also trained dogs to distinguish between positive and negative COVID-19 samples from human saliva (唾液) or sweat with fairly high levels of accuracy. A small German study found that dogs could identify positive COVID-19 samples 94% of the time. That’s because metabolic changes from the coronavirus make an infected person’s bodily fluids smell slightly different from those of a non-infected person. But researchers still aren’t sure whether animals are the best bet for sniffing out COVID-19 cases outside the lab.“No one is saying they can replace a PCR machine, but they could be very promising,” Holger Volk, a neurologist, told Nature. PCR machines are what lab technicians use to process standard COVID-19 swab tests. At the very least, certain animals could be useful for identifying COVID-19 in places or countries in which high-tech laboratory equipment is scarce or inaccessible.Wageningen scientists are working on a prototype of a machine that could automatically train multiple bees at once. Then bees can use their skills to test for coronavirus aerosols (气溶胶) in the surrounding environment.4．How did the researchers teach the bees to identify COVID-19?A．By offering bees some rewards.B．By infecting bees with COVID-19.C．By raising bees with sugar water.D．By exposing bees to infected humans. 5．Why are dogs capable of finding out negative COVID-19 samples?A．For dogs can sniff out hidden virus of the samples.B．For dogs can tell the different smell of the samples.C．For dogs can feel metabolre changes of the samples.D．For dogs can distinguish saliva from sweat of the samples.6．What is the follow-up task of Wageningen scientists?A．To breed more multiple bees.B．To detect coronavirus aerosols.C．To help underdeveloped countries.D．To develop a new type of machine. 7．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．A New Way to Cure COVID-19 DiseaseB．Bees: Well-trained COVID-19 DetectorsC．Bees’ Extremely Accurate Sense of SmellD．The Best Method of Identifying COVID-19While video games used to be considered harmful to young people, various studies have also proved the positive effects of computer games, especially action video games.Angela Pasqualotto from the University of Trento and her team have now tested whether such video games can help primary school children learn to read. They’ve developed such a computer game called Skies of Manawak.“Reading involves many important skills, including knowing how to move our eyes on the page or how to use our working memory to connect words into a meaningful sentence,” explains Pasqualotto. “It’s known that action video games improve these still, such as vision, general attention, working memory and cognitive (认知的) flexibility.”For their study, the researchers tested 150 school children between the ages of eight and twelve. Half of them played the game Skies of Manawak two hours a week for six weeks. The other half, the control group, received the educational game Scratch, which is intended toteach children the basics of programming. Both games are basically to train the executive (执行的) functions of the brain.“We started by examining the children’s ability to read words, non-words and paragraphs and their attention control,” explains Pasqualotto. “After six weeks, these skills were tested again.”“We found a seven-fold improvement in attention control in the children who played our action video game compared to the control group,” said Pasqualotto. The team also saw significant improvements in reading speed and accuracy among Skies of Manawak players—there were no improvements in the kids who played Scratch. It’s also worth mentioning that the children’s reading skills have improved, although the game itself doesn’t contain any reading exercises.“For the study, we also carried out three further evaluation tests six, twelve and eighteen months after the training. Each time, the trained children performed better than the control group,” adds Pasqualotto.Of course, while the study suggests some benefit in action video games, it does not mean that one must do nothing else.8．What did the 150 school children do in the study?A．They received training on programming.B．They finished some reading ability tests.C．They created video games on their own.D．They played games with readingexercises.9．What does the further evaluation suggest about Skies of Manawak?A．Its influence on reading skills is not temporary.B．The study results about it seem to be untrustworthy.C．Reading ability can’t be improved with its assistance.D．Kids need consistent reading training after playing it.10．What is the author’s opinion on action video games?A．They have nothing to do with reading.B．People shouldn’t get addicted to them.C．School kids are supposed to avoid them.D．They should be replaced with Scratch. 11．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the text?A．Video Games Prove Harmless to Young People at SchoolB．Time for Children to Play Video Games Should Be LimitedC．Children Easily Fall in Love With Reading in a Video GameD．Playing Action Video Games Improves Kids’ Reading SkillsThere are all sorts of actions that can help to improve your health and wellness, but contrary to what some ads say, there is no one activity that drives instant results. Experts advise that a consistent routine featuring regular physical and mental activity, nutritious meals and consistent sleep is key.We all need varying degrees of routine to function at our ideal, and the benefits associated with routine are embedded(嵌入) from a very young age. For children,a bedtime routine is linked to increased family functioning and improved sleep habits. Family routines are linked to the development of social skills and academic success. As we age, we continue to rely on the consistency of routine to work better.So, to nail a healthy routine, one of the first steps is to identify good and bad habits. Some habits—like preparing a nutritious breakfast the night before—are great time-saving tricks or energy-boosting activities.Others—like repetitively snoozing(小睡) your alarm—can be inefficient and mentally harmful. Once you focus on what’s good and what’s bad it’s as simple as reducing the bad habits and replacing them with good ones. But go easy and make just one or two changes at a time. Studies have shown that “too much change, too fast” is likely to end without positive results.Researchers say that it’s easier to make positive change when you have fewer decisions that need to be made. This is because when we’re presented with choices we can’t help but pick the easiest, quickest and most enjoyable—and usually these are often the least healthy choices. For this reason, preparing meals ahead of time, packing a lunch instead of buying one, and choosing from a restaurant menu in advance, can all be good strategies, as they help remove decision-making.It makes sense that consistency and regularity is the key to establishing routine, but experts warn you shouldn’t beat yourself up about occasionally not sticking to the plan. Occasional non-consistency to a behavior will not block progress.12．Why does the author mention “Family routines” in paragraph 2?A．To present a necessity.B．To classify a concept.C．To make a prediction.D．To give an argument.13．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A．The key points to form a good routine.B．The debate about good and bad habits.C．The approach to defining a healthy routine.D．The relationship between changes and habits.14．What’s advisable in the establishment of routine?A．Changing habits as fast as you can.B．Sticking to your enjoyable choice.C．Making adjustments as many as possible.D．Shortening the process of decision-making.A．Criticize yourself.B．Praise yourself.C．Justify yourself.D．Forgive yourself.二、七选五As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time. But with that freedom comes the responsibility to make the most of your studying hours. Here are some tips to help you do just that.Create a scheduleThis means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible.Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate (偏离) from your plan. 16Break up your study sessions into smaller periodsOur brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration 17 , chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information youre trying to learn. Instead, break up your study sessions into shorter periods of time, with breaks in between to help chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information youre trying to learn. Instead, break up your study sessions into shorter periods of time, with breaks in between to help you relax and recharge.Find a study place that works for you18 . Some people prefer to study in complete silence,while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here-its all about finding a place to study. that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.Take practice quizzesThis will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review 19 ,it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.20If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like,seek assistance in time. There is no shame in admiting that you need assistance. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need early on.A．Learn to accept failureB．Don’t be afraid to ask for helpC．So if you try to study for several hours onceD．Make sure that every minute you spend studying countsE．However, try not to go off-track too often or for too longF．Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your timeG．And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on三、完形填空It was a cold, rainy day, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to myapproached the house that stood in the center of the property, we saw a 30 that read: “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet and V ery Little Brain.”The second was:“ 31 at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen that I could 32 speak.“She changed the world,” I finally said, “one small plant at a time.
