鹤壁淇滨高中2018-2019学年上学期第三次月考高一英语试卷考试时间：100分钟分值：150分第Ⅰ卷（共70分）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ADo you have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.a) Do you move your lips when reading silently?b) Do you point to words with your fingers as you read?c) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?d) Do you read one word at a time?If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.21. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text ______.A. we should remember those habitsB. they should be got rid ofC. they are difficult to get rid ofD. they are good for our studies22. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to _____.A. hold a piece of paper between your lipsB. keep yourself from talking to othersC. tell others to be silentD. feel whether your lips move or not23. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to ______.A. read the words outB. look at every word carefullyC. read several words at a timeD. remember every wordBDear Students,I am honored to be your guest.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life isdifficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.24.

Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until aroun d age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect."Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotiona l connection with people around them,” she said. “The biggest thing people tryto figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand tha t.”Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.32. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?A. Yawning is a form of communication.B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.33. According to Molly Helt, _________.A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with othersB. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humansC. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notD. yawning helps clear ears on planes34. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.C. Yawning can be used to test c hildren’s development.D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.35. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theoryB. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsC. the more you yawn, the happier you will beD. yawning can make people feel relaxed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。
河南省鹤壁市高级中学2019-2020学年高一上学期12月(第三次段考)英语试题 Word版含答案
鹤壁高中2022届高一年级第三次段考英语第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，共30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项APeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in this country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport;●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect;●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats（栖息地).Endangered species（物种）Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hot-spots can be found on the Souvenir Alert web-page.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visitingThere are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment;●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats;●When you are away,or if you are looking for somewhere to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.1.According to the passage, we can ____ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot2.We can infer from the passage that ____.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats3.The passage is mainly about _________A. travel dos and don’tsB. the harm done to the environmentC. greener choices for holidayD.tips on protecting endangered speciesBSome people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information onany subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. TV programs are a main provider of knowledgeB. cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC. reading is a cheap way of learning and having funD. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself5.What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A. People only need reading, though.B. Reading is still necessary today.C. Reading is more fun than television.D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.6.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D. More people like TV programs about famous men.7.What is the author’s attitude towards books?A. indifferentB. objectiveC. doubtfulD. supportiveCGlobal GDP in 2030 will be 14% higher as a result of AI(Artificial Intelligence), thanks to improving labor productivity and increasing consumer demand, says a report.The report could increase the enthusiasm of economic policymakers and the public, and show the power of technology in changing not only people’s daily lives, but also economic activities. However, history tells us that, while technological advancements have brought us benefits, they have also led to great social disorders, by changing the production and labor structures, and forcing many workers to eitheradapt to the changes or lose their jobs. In the 18th century, for instance, skilled workers rose up to resist the Industrial Revolution, destroying machinery in the early 19th century. We may not see similar protests today, but history should serve as a warning against the application of AI technology.In their 2013 research study, Michael Osborne and Carl Frey from Oxford University estimated 47% of the jobs in the United States are “at risk” of being automated in the next 20 years. They said jobs in transportation and office and administrative support are at high risk of being automated. And Kaifu Lee recently said that robots could take away about 50% of all jobs from humans in the next decade.Those estimates may sound sensational but the impact of technological advancements may not be that serious, as they will also create jobs in new industries. However, policymakers should consider how to better accept the technological wave to bring benefits while taking action to minimize its negative effects. The government therefore needs to work together with business leaders and social organizations to promote training programs for potentially helpless workers, in order to make them more capable of adapting to the structural changes in industries and job markets in the future.8.Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us that technological advancements have ________.A. brought us a lot of benefitsB. improved our daily livesC. led to great unemploymentD. caused some social problems9.We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the government should discover people’s potentialsB. technology workers are more likely to survive AI technologyC. we should take action to meet the challenge of the AI technologyD. most workers are willing to accept the changes brought by AI technology10.The underlined word “sensational” in the last paragraph probably means______.A. shockingB. powerfulC. inspiringD. wonderful11.The passage is intended to ________.A. warn us against the negative effects of AI technologyB. present the good and bad effects of AI technologyC. inform us of the rapid development of AI technologyD.arouse people’s enthusiasm for AI technologyDIdeas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with peop le that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business.But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have universalist cultures.These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. Particularist societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the sociey’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.12.Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians ______ .A. like traveling betterB. easy to communicate withC. difficult to make real friendsD. have a long-term relationship withtheir neighbors13.People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _______.A. who will tell them everything of their ownB. who want to do business with themC. they know quite wellD. who are good at talking14.A person from a less mobile society will feel it ______ when a stranger keepstalking to him or her and asking him or her questions.A. boringB. friendlyC. normalD. rough15.Which of the following is true about "particularist societies"? ______A. There is no rule for people to obey.B. People obey the society's rules completely.C. No one obeys the society's rules though they have.D. The society's rules can be changed with different persons or situations.第二节（共5小题，每题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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room."What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack-- a smaller version of his bedroom-- a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors thought about him when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin."Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination（锁柜密码）?" he asked. "I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I'm late on the first day it'll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked really worried."Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed（摩擦） it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings."That's amazing!' Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."24. Why is Justin's room such a mess?A. He always forgets to clean it.B. He never throws anything away.C. He has no time to clean it.D. He shares the room with his brother.25. In what way is Justin's backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?A. He uses it as a place to store objects.B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.D. He's had it for as long as he can remember.26. The underlined phrase "pleaded with" meansA. ignoredB. askedC. pushedD. ordered27. How does Kenny feel toward Justin?A. Annoyed.B. Disinterested.C. Grateful.D. Angry.CHow many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. And with bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That's because they're invisible. They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The suncertainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a star's gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers（层） of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That's how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump--the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything--even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That's why you see nothing but blackness.So next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there's more in the sky than we can see! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes--the great mystery of space.28. According to the article, what causes a star to die?A. As its gases run out, it cools down.B. It has a collision with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Black holes are dead stars.B. Black holes have gravity.C. Black holes are invisible.D. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.30. What happens AFTER a star dies?A. It becomes invisible.B. It falls to earth.C. It burns up all of its gases.D. It becomes brighter and easier to see.31. Why can't you see light when you look at a black hole?A. Because most black holes are so far away.B. Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.C. Because as the star's gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.D. Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of over-learning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but over-learn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we over-learn in childhood.The law of over-learning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over-learning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.32. What is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.33. The author explains the law of over-learning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. selling down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples34. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.A. a result of over-learningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies35. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.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7个选项中为每空选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a hard time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,” my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支）then, an eight-foot stick. The people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.“Look at how hard it's trying!” I said, pointing to the wa y it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.”Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my “rescue stick”put forth a few leaves, then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990sthat little stick was a giant, towering over the house.Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.32. What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. busyB. hardC. longD. warm33. How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?A. By supporting the stick firmly.B. By watering the stick regularly.C. By distributing chemical fertilizer.D. By gathering sticks day and night.34. What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph?A. To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.B. To imply that she’d spent the hardest time and fel t hopeful.C. To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter.D. To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.35. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. There is no garden without its weeds.C. Success is the accumulation of sweat.D. Where there is life, there is hope. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高一英语组寄语AMy life began similarly to most of the kids in my family. My mother did her best to take care of us, but left after my father drunk many times. So I grew up not knowing what a father was and no one was there to teach me.As a result, I developed the usual problems with alcohol and drugs and spent seven years as a street kid, landing in a rehab center (康复中心) when I was 20. Inside I met my adviser, Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving.It was the night before an important event and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we go for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, but when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious, but kindly way and said, “No, you won’t.”He added that I didn’t owe him anything and he was doing this because he could. He then told me something that I bear in mind till today, “One day you’ll be around someone and he’llneed a coffee, an d you’ll be able to buy it for him. That’s how you can pay me back.”I’m a youth worker now, far from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple — I buy kids coffee. Bill taught me how to do that.21. From the first paragraph, we can know_______.A. when the author was born, his mother diedB. the author got little love of his parentsC. the author didn’t know who his father wasD. the author came from a wealthy family22. The underlined part “I was broke” (in Paragraph 3) means “______”.A. I was tiredB. I was hurtC. I was thirstyD. I had no money23. How did Bill ask the author to pay him pack?A. By working hard in a rehab center.B. By giving others help in future.C. By giving back the money of the coffee.D. By finding a job to support himself.BHanukkahHanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange giftsand greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.24. For how many days does Hanukkah last?A. 9B. 10C. 8D. 725. According to the passage, what is necessary when celebrating Hanukkah nowadays?A. Candles.B.. Money.C.OilD. Cards.26. What does the Menorah remind Jewish people about?A. The miracle of the holy oil that happened 2,000 years ago.B. The war that they fought 2,000 years ago.C. The God that they honored best.D. The church they built 2,000 years ago.27.The passage mainly tells us about _____.A. why Jewish people protect their traditionsB. the history of Hanukkah and how it is celebratedC. why Jewish people celebrate HanukkahD. the miracle of the holy oil in the Jewish templeCIf you think American cooking means opening a package and throwing the contents into the microwave oven (微波炉), think again. On the one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal（谷类食品）for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant (方便的) dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience (方便) of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parents — especially mothers — see the importance of training their children —especially daughters. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method (方法) of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to includemeat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.28.This passage mainly tells us that ______.A.without an oven, Americans find it impossible to live convenientlyB.Americans like to have several different colors of food on the plateC. Americans usually have fast food, but they pay special attention to cooking as wellD. Americans pay special attention to recipes and nutritious meals29. Many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinnerbecause ______.A. they like instant food very muchB. they don’t like cooking at allC. most American working people are busy and don’t have time to cookD. fast food is delicious and it usually contains a lot of vitamins30. By saying “But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen byaccident”, the author means ______.A. just like any other skill, cooking may bring good resultsB. cooking comes from one’s gift, not through practiceC. cooking can lead to accidentsD. Good cooking doesn’t come easily; it needs a lot of practice31. From the passage, we know that ______.A. Americans don’t care about foodB. Americans are not good at cooking because they like to use recipesC. an oven plays an important role in cooking for AmericansD. while cooking, Americans usually run out of ideasDThe sea horse is a magical animal, which has puzzled（使困惑）people for thousands of years. In ancient Rome sea horses were believed to be the babies of Neptune’s horses. And Neptune wasthe god of the ocean. Now we know they are not horses at all — they are a kind of fish. They still seem as magical as ever, especially to divers who have watched them horsing around(瞎闯) in the sea. But today, sea horse populations face an uncertain future. Fishermen are catching too many of them, and their undersea habitats （栖息地）are being destroyed.At least 20 million sea horses are taken from the ocean each year. More than 95% are used for traditional medicines in Asian countries. The sea horses are usually dried and then made into powder which is used to treat such problems as asthma（哮喘）, throat infections, skin diseases and cuts. How well the medicines work is unclear.Sea horses are also bought and sold in large numbers as pets. Sea horse expert Amanda Vincent warns against buying pet sea horses. “A lot of people treat them as if they’re goldfish,” she says. But sea horses require very special care and live food. Most captive (被猎取的) sea horses pick up diseases and die.Sea horse experts are trying to teach fishermen to become sea horse farmers. Instead of pulling nets of sea horses from the ocean, fishermen could learn to raise them in specially designed saltwater “farms”. That way, fishermen would have sea horses to sell, but ocean populations would not be hurt.Vincent and her team have only discovered the 35 different species of sea horses, and they still have plenty of sea horse secrets left to unlock. That is why, Vincent told TFK, protecting future sea horse populations is especially important: “I promise your readers that by the time they grow up to be marine biologists, we’ll still have a lot to learn.”32. In the past, Romans thought the sea horse to be ______.A. a kind of fishB. a kind of horseC. the god of the oceanD. one of Neptune’s pets33.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 35different kinds of sea horses have been discovered.B. Most sea horses caught are used as medicine.C. People in Asian countries hunt sea horses for food.D. The effects of the powder of sea horses are uncertain.34. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. followB. collectC. createD. get35. It can be inferred that the best way to protect sea horses is to ______.A. teach fishermen how to farm sea horsesB. do more research on sea horsesC. stop hunting sea horsesD. ban the sea horse trade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。

That way, fishermen would have sea horses to sell, but ocean populations would not be hurt.Vincent and her team have only discovered the 35 different species of sea horses, and they still have plenty of sea horse secrets left to unlock. That is why, Vincent told TFK, protecting future sea horse populations is especially important: “I promise your readers thatby the time they grow up to be marine biologists, we’ll still have a lot to learn.”32. In the past, Romans thought the sea horse to be ______.A. a kind of fishB. a kind of horseC. the god of the oceanD. one of Neptune’s pets33.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 35different kinds of sea horses have been discovered.B. Most sea horses caught are used as medicine.C. People in Asian countries hunt sea horses for food.D. The effects of the powder of sea horses are uncertain.34. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. followB. collectC. createD. get35. It can be inferred that the best way to protect sea horses is to ______.A. teach fishermen how to farm sea horsesB. do more research on sea horsesC. stop hunting sea horsesD. ban the sea horse trade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。
河南省鹤壁市综合高中2019-2020学年高一上学期第三次段考英语试卷
英语第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，共30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项APeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in this country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport;●Switching off any air c onditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect;●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats（栖息地).Endangered species（物种）Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hot-spots can be found on the Souvenir Alert web-page.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visitingThere are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment;●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats;●Whe n you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.1.According to the passage, we can ____ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot2.We can infer from the passage that ____.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats3.The passage is mainly about _________A. travel dos and don’tsB. the harm done to the environmentC. greener choices for holidayD.tips on protecting endangered speciesBSome people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. TV programs are a main provider of knowledgeB. cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC. reading is a cheap way of learning and having funD. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself5.What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A. People only need reading, though.B. Reading is still necessary today.C. Reading is more fun than television.D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.6.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D. More people like TV programs about famous men.7.What is the author’s attitude towards books?A. indifferentB. objectiveC. doubtfulD. supportiveCGlobal GDP in 2030 will be 14% higher as a result of AI(Artificial Intelligence), thanks to improving labor productivity and increasing consumer demand, says a report.The report could increase the enthusiasm of economic policymakers and the public, and show the power of technology in changing not only people’s daily lives, but also economic activities. However, history tells us that, while technological advancements have brought us benefits, they have also led to great social disorders, by changing the production and labor structures, and forcing many workers to either adapt to the changes or lose their jobs. In the 18th century, for instance, skilled workers rose up to resist the Industrial Revolution, destroying machinery in the early 19th century. We may not see similar protests today, but history should serve as a warning against the application of AI technology.In their 2013 research study, Michael Osborne and Carl Frey from Oxford University estimated 47% of the jobs in the United States are “at risk” of being automated in the next 20 years. They said jobs in transportation and office andadministrative support are at high risk of being automated. And Kaifu Lee recently said that robots could take away about 50% of all jobs from humans in the next decade.Those estimates may sound sensational but the impact of technological advancements may not be that serious, as they will also create jobs in new industries. However, policymakers should consider how to better accept the technological wave to bring benefits while taking action to minimize its negative effects. The government therefore needs to work together with business leaders and social organizations to promote training programs for potentially helpless workers, in order to make them more capable of adapting to the structural changes in industries and job markets in the future.8.Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us that technological advancements have ________.A. brought us a lot of benefitsB. improved our daily livesC. led to great unemploymentD. caused some social problems9.We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the government should discover people’s potentialsB. technology workers are more likely to survive AI technologyC. we should take action to meet the challenge of the AI technologyD. most workers are willing to accept the changes brought by AI technology10.The underlined word “sensational” in the last paragrap h probably means______.A. shockingB. powerfulC. inspiringD. wonderful11.The passage is intended to ________.A. warn us against the negative effects of AI technologyB. present the good and bad effects of AI technologyC. inform us of the rapid development of AI technologyD.arouse people’s enthusiasm for AI technologyDIdeas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies wherelong-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person,for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happyto start business.But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomesmuch deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On theother hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spendingseveral hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her lifeand asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-culturaldiff erences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carrythem. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good serviceare different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way thatproblems are dealt with.Some societies have universalist cultures.These societies strongly respectrules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. Particularist societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are lessimportant than the sociey’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for aparticular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fitthe needs of the situation or the importance of the person.12.Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians______ .A. like traveling betterB. easy to communicate withC. difficult to make real friendsD. have a long-term relationship withtheir neighbors13.People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _______.A. who will tell them everything of their ownB. who want to do business with themC. they know quite wellD. who are good at talking14.A person from a less mobile society will feel it ______ when a stranger keepstalking to him or her and asking him or her questions.A. boringB. friendlyC. normalD. rough15.Which of the following is true about "particularist societies"? ______A. There is no rule for people to obey.B. People obey the society's rules completely.C. No one obeys the society's rules though they have.D. The society's rules can be changed with different persons or situations. 第二节（共5小题，每题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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He was called by New Yorkers "the Little Flower" because he was short and always wore a carnation(康乃馨). He was a colorful character who used to ride the New York City fire trucks, raid(突袭) places that were illegal to make and sell alcohol with the police department, take homeless children to baseball games, and whenever the New York newspapers were on strike, he would go on the radio and read the Sunday funnies to the kids.One bitterly cold night in January of 1935, the mayor turned up at a night court that served the poorest district of the city. LaGuardia dismissed(赶走) the judge for the evening and took over the bench himself. Within a few minutes, an old woman wasbrought before him, charged(控告) with stealing a loaf of bread. She told LaGuardia that her daughter's husband had deserted her, that her daughter was sick, and that her two grandchildren were extremely hungry. But the shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen, refused to drop the charges. “It's a bad neighborhood,Your Honor,” the man told the mayor. She's got to be punished to teach other people around here a lesson.LaGuardia sighed. He turned to the woman and said, “I've got to punish you. The law makes no exceptions---ten dollars or ten days in prison.” But even as he pronounced sentence, the mayor reached into his pocket. He took out a bill and said, "Here is the ten-dollar fine which I now pay for the defendant(被告); and furthermore, I am going to fine everyone in this courtroom fifty cents for living in a town where a person has to steal bread so that her grandchildren can eat. Mr. Bailiff, collect the fines to the defendant.”So the following day the New York City newspaper reported that $47.50 was turned over to an old woman who had stolen a loaf of bread.4.What can we know about Fiorello LaGuardia from Paragraph 1?A.He was keen on public affairs.B.He was interested in planting carnations.C.He was a mayor for only a very short time.D.He was popular for his unique dressing style.5.Why did the old woman steal the bread?A.To test the justice of the court.B.To cure her daughter.C.To punish the cruel shopkeeper.D.To feed her grandchildren.6.What was the shopkeeper's excuse for insisting on the charges?A.To show the mayor the danger of stealing.B.To prevent similar things from happening.C.To make people understand the spirit of law.D.To punish the old woman's family indirectly.7.Which of the following can best describe Fiorello LaGuardia?A.Kind-hearted and wise.B.Confident and unselfish.C.Optimistic and responsible.D.Knowledgeable and ambitious.CYou can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand. It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this by creating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain's learning region, try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall(记忆) can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.8.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A.By having deep sleep frequently.B.By learning new skills constantly.C.By doing mental labor repeatedly.D.By practicing swimming regularly.9.Which of the following can best replace "facilitate" underlined in paragraph 5?A.put offB.repeatC.promoteD.overuse10.What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A.Memory loss is well worth noticing.B.We shouldn't stress total recall too much.C.Decisions can't be made without memories.D.Forgetting is even more important than remembering.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Caution: do remember to forgetB.Why and how people choose to forgetC.Want to become smarter? Learn to forgetD.Being forgetful might mean you are smarterDWorld travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online. Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new, it has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users.Typically, this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question. Tips and information are not provided by a single source, such as the website host, but rather from travelers themselves---often in the thousands. This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking information on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy. Questions about food and restaurants, tourist spots, safety, accommodation, and others are all answered. In addition, posted tips promote better preparation, such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里岛).Apart from the useful tips, visual images and virtual tours have also been made available. If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower, it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas, to pick a safer train route, or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.Virtual tours have sprung up globally. In South Africa, John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year. On his blog, Gore was quoted a saying, "The world is panoramic(全景的).” “We are able to turn our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are, but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely.”However, there is an answer---technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way, whichreally makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there.12. From the second paragraph we know ____________.A. we can solve any problem on websitesB. websites offer all the tips and informationC. we can get all our questions answered onlineD. we can get many tips about tourism on websites13. What does the underlined word "sprung up" most probably mean?A. Appeared.B. Moved.C. Competed.D. Reduced.14. What makes us see the world in a panoramic way?A. Information.B. Photograph.C. Technology.D. Virtual images.15.What's the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce the history of virtual tourism.B. To give some advice on virtual tourism online.C. To attract more tourists to travel to the world.D. To teach us how to establish a website online.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。
河南省鹤壁市高中2023-2024学年高一上学期第三次段考英语试题
河南省鹤壁市高中2023-2024学年高一上学期第三次段考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Matt Haig, the best-selling author of the novel “The Midnight”, recommends some books that offer wisdom or comfort in difficult times.Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Rilke (1929). This is the ultimate comfort read. The book is what the title suggests: letters from an older poet to a younger one. The great thing about Rilke’s advice is that it acknowledges the darkness and suffering of existence, yet manages despite that—or maybe even because of that—to inspire.When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön(1996). I read this book during the first lockdown, and it was the perfect read for uncertain times. Chödrön is a Buddhist, but the advice and philosophy in these relatively few pages speaks universally. It’s a great book about embracing life in its totality, about seeing hope and suffering as part of a whole.The House at Pooh Corner by A．A．Milne(1928). The Winnie-the-Pooh stories really speak to people going through tough times. In many ways, each of the characters reflects a different mental state: Eeyore is depressed, Tigger is hyper-active, Piglet is anxious, and Pooh reflects a hope and optimism much needed in recovery. I reread this book when I was ill with a panic disorder, and it soothed me.Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott (1994). In my opinion, this is the greatest book about writing ever written. But like Rilke, Lamott is offering far more than writing advice. She is offering wisdom on life and how to embrace its imperfect nature.1．Which book came out first?A．Bird by Bird.B．The Midnight.C．Letters to a Young Poet.D．The House at Pooh Corner.2．What can readers learn from When Things Fall Apart?A．The tough times are everywhere.B．Life consists of hope and suffering.C．People have a variety of mental states.D．The undesirable things of life can be ignored.3．What do the four books have in common?A．All contain inspiring advice.B．They are based on true facts.C．Matt Haig instructed their novelists.D．Writing will be improved by reading them.One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled.I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured(津津有味地吃) at home.I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter(遭遇) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider.For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me:They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom’s Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.”Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what? I miss my mom’s bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’ssomething to celebrate, not hide.4．Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school?A．She didn’t like her smelly lunch.B．Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti.C．Her mom didn’t prepare lunch for her.D．She skipped her lunch to fit in with others.5．What can we infer about the writer according to the passage?A．She enjoyed the lunchtime at school.B．Her parents are immigrants from India.C．She liked peanut- butter-and-jelly sandwich best.D．She would bite her bhindi roti quickly when someone was looking.6．How did Satya deal with “the lunchbox moment”?A．She threw away her lunch box.B．She asked her teacher to make a rule.C．She ate American food instead of her mom’s Indian cooking.D．She brought more Indian cooking to share with her classmates.7．What does the author want to tell us?A．Food is something to celebrate, not hide.B．Never should you yuck someone’s yum in any case.C．Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated.D．The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods.While riding hard on a bike, do you feel like you are saving the planet? Or do you just feel out of breath? In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can use in the fight against climate change.The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (决议) in March supporting bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. The resolution calls on member states to “add the bicycle to public transportation, in the city and countryside, in developing and developed countries”, with all 193 members of the UN agreeing upon the resolution.The decision has received positive comments from different groups in support of cycling and the environmental awareness internationally. “It’s an important step toward the recognition of cycling as an important means of transport,” said the European Cyclists Federation.The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to the center of the world’s attention. On February 28, the UN published a new report assessing (评估) recent climate change trends (趋势). The report warns that the world’s average temperature will rise by 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), with more than 40% of the world’s population being “easily affected” to these temperature changes.Cycling is an environmentally friendly means of transport. Choosing to take a bike instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission (碳排放) from transport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford. The research also found that cyclists produced 84 percent lower CO 2 emissions from all daily travel than non-cyclists.Cycling has grown in popularity as people who take public transport to work wish to stay away from crowded public transport and also like taking any opportunity to exercise. Cycling culture has been further encouraged with the influence of COVID-19. In May 2020, bike sales in Spain increased 22 times compared with 2019. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely.More importantly, the resolution focuses on bike-sharing services, which could be seen as recognition of China’s bike-sharing success, noted CGTN. China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world. This means of transport that produces zero emissions reduces the amount of CO2 sent out into the atmosphere (大气层) by 4.8 million tons every year, according to a 2020 report from the World Resources Institute.8．What is the resolution aimed at?A．Winning all member states’ support.B．Making bicycles part of public transport.C．Dealing with the problem of climate change.D．Making people healthier and more athletic.9．What leads to the popularity of the resolution according to the text?A．The whole world’s attention on climate change.B．Cycling is encouraged in numerous countries.C．China’s success in Bike-sharing systems.D．More people wish to exercise more.10．Why is cycling considered the best weapon against climate change?A．It get people to exercise and stay healthy.B．It can largely reduce our carbon footprint.C．It can reduce the influence of the COVID-19.D．It helps us stay away from crowded public transport.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．Cycling to improve health B．Cycling to a climate solutionC．Why is cycling so important D．A new resolution by the UNPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.12．The author intends to tell us that____________.A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB．big houses are people's most valued possessionsC．big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD．true happiness comes from spiritual riches13．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that______.A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC．though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage14．It can be learned from the passage that __________.A．more money brings more happinessB．art is needed to make your house beautifulC．literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness15．What would be the best title for the passage?A．House of Life B．Secret of WealthC．Rest and Refreshment D．Interest and EnthusiasmCan you recognize the moment when you realize you’ve mastered a foreign language? It’s not when you get a perfect grade on a grammar test. It’s when you start thinking in that language! 16 . Here are some tips that will help you achieve the goal.Stop the Translating HabitDon’t try to say something after thinking of a sentence word by word in your own language, and then translating it into foreign words. It’s of little use because the logical(合乎逻辑的) flow of words in your mother tongue won’t sound well in a foreign language. When you’re thinking of something to say, start with the main parts of the sentence: the subject and the verb. 17 .Learn Words in PairsIt’s easier to learn the words when you add them into context(语境), and you connect them with one another. If, for example, you’re learning the word morning in a foreign language, you should also look up for words that go with it, such as good or early. You should also pair it with the opposites and check out some words that have similar meaning.18 .Pay Attention to GrammarV ocabulary is very important when you’re learning a foreign language, but that doesn’t mean you should forget all about the grammar rules. You can’t start thinking in a non-native(非母语的) language if you haven’t mastered its grammar basics. Make sure to put the rules you learn into practice every single day, and keep track of your progress.Practice WritingA writing practice will help you keep track of your progress, but it will also help you remember the things you’ve learned. 19 . Make sure you use proper grammar. This practice will not only make you a more confident speaker, but it will also help you start thinking in a foreign language.Practice Speaking and ListeningThat’s the final tip that leads you to perfection. Turn speaking and listening into a daily activity. You can listen to audiobooks(有声读物) in the foreign language, and then talk to someone about the impressions. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, just get in an empty room, record your speech and listen to it. 20 .A．You’ll surely recognize the signs of progress.B．That’s the best way to build up a huge vocabulary.C．You will find yourself better at understanding them.D．Try to notice and correct the mistakes in your writing.E．Then, it will be easy for you to build your sentence upon that.F．Remembering good sentences will go a long way towards writing a good article.G．And it takes hard work for your inner thoughts to start flowing in a language that’s not native.二、完形填空Katie Whetsell has been enjoying Disney movies from an early age and would oftenwould be a performer in the future.When Katie was nine years old, her family were shocked by an unexpected 22 .

AHave you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.POTATO CHIPSOne of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.TOFUTofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, Tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.CHEESE PUFFSDid you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs!1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese.B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking.C. Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air.D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China .2. What do the three foods have in common?A. They are the results of complaints.B. They were not created on purpose.C. They weren’t originally made for people.D. They are all popular throughout the world.3. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To compare the features of some foods.B. To inform readers of some foods.C. To recommend some foods .D. To introduce the origins of some foods.BGifts and packaging play a crucial role in providing an income and educating visitors.After enjoying a museum or art gallery, Milly Zi, a management adviser in Beijing, usually visits the souvenir shop to buy something to remember the visit. About a decade ago, Zi was attracted by a roll of sticky tape in Taipei Palace Museum. The tape, designed in red, yellow and white, had four Chinese characters making a phrase: zhen zhi dao le—a sentence of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, meaning "I am aware." "The product has history and culture in it," Zi said, "And it has aroused my interest to learn more about the history behind them."第1页(共6页)The latest digital technology is also helping museums to be more creative. In October 2021, the Hubei Provincial Museum released 10,000 digital copies of the sword of Gou Jian, king of the state of Yue during the Warring States period, a famous cultural relic on display in the museum. Its popularity can be gauged by how quickly it sold out. "All the copies were sold in just three seconds,"said Wang Xianfu, deputy head of the museum.Digital collections go beyond the restrictions of time and space, making museums more open, interesting and modern. "It's a new experience, a combination of civilization and modern high-tech." Wang said."The popularity of digital cultural relics has resulted in more museums exploring the concept. Digitized cultural relics are a new form of cultural creative products, which can be sold, purchased, collected and used." MaXiaoli said, head of the museum in Henan."I think museums have two functions—to remember and to spread Chinese culture," said YuLin, manager of the Development Department at Ant Group. "I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept."4. Why did the tape attract Milly Zi?A.It was used by Kangxi.B. It had a long history.C.It was creatively designed.D. It was a digital cultural relic.5. What does the underlined word "gauged" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Judged.B.Guarded.C. Developed.D.Gained.6. Why does the author mention the digital products of Gou Jian Sword?A. To emphasize the importance of Chinese cultural relics.B. To make an advertisement for Hubei Provincial Museum.C. To illustrate a modern technology to make museums' work effective.D. To popularize the ancient Chinese civilizations of Warring States period.7. What should be done nowadays to make museums more attractive?A. Open more souvenir shops.B. Produce more cultural gifts.C. Go digitized with modern technology.D. Invite experts to give lectures on Chinese history.CWhen faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing（打盹）, a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep, " researcher Jonathan Horowitz said.“The chances of you 'snoozing' and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero. ”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button, you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won't know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a wise choice.9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It brings people a meaningful rest.B. It makes people become lazy.C. It gives us a sense of satisfaction.D. It affects our body and mind.第2页(共6页)10. What is the author's suggestion according to the last paragraph?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Trying to relax ourselves.C. Taking another light sleep.D. Using an extra alarm.11. What is the best title for the text?A. The snooze button and people s characterB. Ways to keep refreshed in the morningC. Should you rely on the snooze button?D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?DBeing highly connected to a strong social network has its benefits. Now a new study is showing the same goes for trees, thanks to their underground neighbors. The study is the first to show that the growth of adult trees is linked to their participation in fungal (真菌) networks living in the forest soil. Though past research has focused on young trees, these findings give new insight into the importance of fungal networks to older trees — which are more environmentally beneficial for functions like capturing carbon.“Large trees make up the main part of the forest, so they drive what the forest is doing,” said researcher Joseph Birch, who led the study. When they live in the forest soil, fungal networks act as a sort of highway, allowing water, nutrients and compounds to flow back and forth among the trees. The network also helps nutrients flow to resource-limited trees like family units that support one another in times of stress.Cores taken from 350 Douglas firs (花旗松) showed that annual tree ring growth was related to the extent of fungal connections a tree had with other trees. They had much higher growth than those that had only a few connections. The research also showed that trees with more connections to many unique fungi had much greater growth than those with only one or two connections. “If you have this network that is helping trees grow faster, that helps capture more carbon year after year. These networks may help trees grow more steadily even as conditions become more stressful, and could even help protect them against death.” said Birch.Birch hopes his findings lead to further studies in different kinds of forests in other geographical areas, because it’s likely that the connections among trees change from year to year. He said, “Knowing whether fungal networks are operating the same way in other tree species could inform how we reforest areas after harvesting them, and inform how we plant trees to preserve these networks.”12. In what way do the new findings differ from the previous ones?A. They reveal the value of fungal networks to adult trees.B. They clarify misunderstandings of fungal networks.C. They demonstrate a new way to capture carbon.D. They confirm the benefits of fungal networks.13. How do fungal networks help trees?A. By acting as the center of family units.B. By maintaining the balance of resources.C. By fighting against diseases.D. By bettering forest soil conditions.14. What does the underlined “those” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Tree rings.B. Cores from Douglas firs.C. Douglas firs.D. Fungal networks.15. What can be inferred from what Joseph Birch has put?A. The fungal networks support one another in times of stress.B. The fungal networks enable us to know more about reforestation.C. The findings can apply to different kinds of forests in other geographical areas.D. The fungal networks will help trees grow more steadily if conditions become more stressful.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。

Invite experts to give lectures on Chinese history.CWhen faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing（打盹）, a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep, " researcher Jonathan Horowitz said.“The chances of you 'snoozing' and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero. ”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button, you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won't know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a wise choice.9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It brings people a meaningful rest.B. It makes people become lazy.C. It gives us a sense of satisfaction.D. It affects our body and mind.10. What is the author's suggestion according to the last paragraph?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Trying to relax ourselves.C. Taking another light sleep.D. Using an extra alarm.11. What is the best title for the text?A. The snooze button and people s characterB. Ways to keep refreshed in the morningC. Should you rely on the snooze button?D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?DBeing highly connected to a strong social network has its benefits. Now a new study is showing the same goes for trees, thanks to their underground neighbors. The study is the first to show that the growth of adult trees is linked to their participation in fungal (真菌) networks living in the forest soil. Though past research has focused on young trees, these findings give new insight into the importance of fungal networks to older trees — which are more environmentally beneficial for functions like capturing carbon.“Large trees make up the main part of the forest, so they drive what the forest is doing,” said researcher Joseph Birch, who led the study. When they live in the forest soil, fungal networks act as a sort of highway, allowing water, nutrients and compounds to flow back and forth among the trees. The network also helps nutrients flow to resource-limited trees like family units that support one another in times of stress.Cores taken from 350 Douglas firs (花旗松) showed that annual tree ring growth was related to the extent of fungal connections a tree had with other trees. They had much higher growth than those that had only a few connections. The research also showed that trees with more connections to many unique fungi had much greater growth than those with only one or two connections. “If you have this network that is helping trees grow faster, that helps capture more carbon year after year. These networks may help trees grow more steadily even as conditions become more stressful, and could even help protect them against death.” said Birch.Birch hopes his findings lead to further studies in different kinds of forests in other geographical areas, because it’s likely that the connections among trees change from year to year. He said, “K nowing whether fungal networks are operating the same way in other tree species could inform how we reforest areas after harvesting them, and inform how we plant trees to preserve these networks.”12. In what way do the new findings differ from the previous ones?A. They reveal the value of fungal networks to adult trees.B. They clarify misunderstandings of fungal networks.C. They demonstrate a new way to capture carbon.D. They confirm the benefits of fungal networks.13. How do fungal networks help trees?A. By acting as the center of family units.B. By maintaining the balance of resources.C. By fighting against diseases.D. By bettering forest soil conditions.14. What does the underlined “those” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Tree rings.B. Cores from Douglas firs.C. Douglas firs.D. Fungal networks.15. What can be inferred from what Joseph Birch has put?A. The fungal networks support one another in times of stress.B. The fungal networks enable us to know more about reforestation.C. The findings can apply to different kinds of forests in other geographical areas.D. The fungal networks will help trees grow more steadily if conditions become more stressful.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。

The quality of a community is largely dependent on how citizens treat each other，So go out into your communities and do a service in a way that you don，t get paid. Y ou might be surprised what can happen in those twenty hours，” said the professor.After doing some research, I found an after-school tutoring(辅导）program for a fourth-grade boy named Steven. He was small for his age，wore glasses and was a Harry Potter fan. He was a little on the quiet side for the first few weeks，but it was obvious that he was a very bright boy. He didn't need a tutor as much as he needed a friend. It seemed that his classmates mostly ignored him.When I started, I only planned to complete the required hours for my assignment. But when the hours were done，I liked Steven. And I could tell that he had alreadygrown attached(依恋)to me.As the end of the school year came, Steven said, “I don't want the school year to end. Because when the school year is over, I won't see you anymore. ”I had signed an agreement stating that at the end of the school year I wouldn't have a relationship with the child I tutored. I'm going to miss you, too, Steven, but I promise I will never, ever forget you. ”It took me some time to get used to not heading ov er to that old elementary school and seeing that sweet，smiling boy waiting for me. But then I realized I had my own sittings (兄弟姐妹).I had been so busy being an adult that I really didn't pay any attention to them at all，It was time to change that.24. Why did the professor ask his students to do community service?A. To develop their spirit of working hard.B. To judge their ability of communication.C. To increase their sense of helping others.D. To test their belief in the service.25. According to the writer, Steven .A. looked like Harry Potter with his glassesB. was like a pet of his teachers at schoolC. had few words in class most of the timeD. usually felt lonely at school26. What did the writer promise to do before tutoring Steven?A. Not to keep in touch with him later.B. To remember the good days with him.C. To continue the service if it is necessary,D. To pay attention to his progress forever.27. How did the community service change the writer?A. She realized the importance of the community.B. She started to care about her family members.C. She became a volunteer in the community.D. She spent most of her time at homeCEven if all goes well for you in high school—you keep your grades up，join in activities and never fall on your face in front of everyone in the dining hall—that time of life still can be hard. There are so many subjects to learn and social activities to join in. But of all different challenges, making good friends might be the most important.Researchers found that those with strong, close relationships with their friends at age 15 were more likely to be healthier and happy later. They have more self-worth(自信）and less anxiety and depressive symptoms(抑郁症状）by early adulthood(人）.Importantly, popularity—explained as Lots of people liking you generally, but not closely—wasn't found to have the same advantage as close friends. The researchers followed the 169 teens every year for ten years. They got data in real time from these teens as they grew. Importantly too, the teens were 58 percent whites, 29 percent African American, and 8 percent of different faces, and with families of $40,000 to $59,999 a year.“Our study proves that forming strong close friendships is likely one of the most important pieces of the being well-liked by a large group of teenage social experience，” said Joseph Allen.Why does this matter? Because, as Allen wrote, “For high schoolers, people cannot replace developing deep and supportive friendships. And these experiences stay with us，over and above what happens later. As technology makes it increasingly easy to make many superficial(表面的)friends, spending time and attention in developing close connections with a few people should be a main concern. ”28. According to the study, making good friends at high school will .A. help you believe in yourselfB. help you keep away from anxiety in lifeC. lake away your symptoms of depressionD. make you experience more worry29.

Close Friendships Can Give You Strength in LifeC. Being Popular at High School Is. Really ImportantD. Good High School Friends Add to Your Happiness LaterDThere is a new kind of glasses that permits people considered legally blind (弱视）to see again. The company eSight invented them. A camera is set in the middle of the glasses; it catches video pictures of whatever is before it. The computer in the glasses immediately deals with the video and shows it on two screens in front of the users` eyes. The video is improved by the glasses` technology so that the user is able to see the picture.The glasses themselves also focus(聚焦)very quickly between short, middle and long distance vision(视力). This makes the user move easily from reading a book，to watching TV or to looking out of a window.Jeffrey Fenton says users of the glasses can see things almost as if their eyes were good. “The glasses are almost bombarding the eyes with so much information to send to the brain through the eyes t hat they can present them “with a picture that is pretty much what you would see or I would see.”Users are advised to take time to get used to the glasses. In the beginning，they should wear them just a few hours at a time while their eyes adjust (调整）. The eSight glasses are expensive. But, user JuLissa Marquez says the cost wasworth it. Marquez lost most of her eyesight from an attack in 2013. After more than ten operations she was left with about 30 percent vision in one eye. Through the eSight glasses，however, she says her eyesight is “amazing”. I get to see my sons. I am going to see him graduate. That is something huge for me because I love my child. He is my world. ”32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. What video pictures the glasses provide.B. How the electronic glasses work.C. How far a person with the glasses can see.D. What role the computer plays in the glasses.33. What does the underlined word “bombarding” in paragraph 3 mean?A. ProtectingB. ImprovingC. Providing.D. Covering.34. What should users keep in mind while wearing the glasses?A. Adjust them every few hours a day.B. Wash them frequently to keep them clean.C. Don’t use them while looking in the distance.D. Never wear them all the time at first.35. According to JuLissa, we can know that .A. she thought highly (评价很高) of the new glassesB. she couldn't bear the sufferings of being blindC. she expected her son to have a better sightD. she lost her eyesight in her operation accident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。
