山东省潍坊市2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Why waste time and money booking a hotel when you can enjoy the beautiful British countryside at these wonderful motorhome and caravan (旅行拖车) destinations in the UK.Ferneley’s Ice Cream and CafeLocated between the coast and the countryside, this beautiful location offers a bit of everything for families, and their dogs. What makes Ferneley’s stand out is their family farm that creates fresh local produce using milk from their own cows. It’s also a great chance for kids to learn more about what goes on at a farm and how they raise their cattle.Halfpenny Green VineyardProducing prize-winning English wines for over 30 years, Halfpenny Green Vineyard, is a wine-lover’s favourite in the green Staffordshire countryside. You can park up your campervan for free and take a guided tour around the site while tasting the produce.

This is a must-visit for beer lovers.Rectory FarmWith a mass of parking space, a large pick-your-own farm with large fields and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and a children’s woodland play area, the Rectory Farm offers the perfect family day out. It’s even got a lovely farm shop with an outdoor cafe, so you can sit and relax with a coffee while the kids eat their fruits.1．What can visitors do in Halfpenny Green Vineyard?A．Make wines.B．Win some prizes.C．Learn knowledge about animals.D．Visit the site at will.2．Which destination is the least likely choice for families with kids?A．Ferneley’s Ice Cream and Cafe.B．Halfpenny Green Vineyard.C．Fur and Feather Inn.D．Rectory Farm.3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A tourist review.B．A geography book.C．A novel.D．A travel brochure.In 1943, Roman Totenberg, a violinist, bought a rare (稀有的) and special violin called a Stradivarius. It was made in 1734, in Italy, by Antonio Stradivari. Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an interview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4．Why did Roman feel like he had lost an arm after the violin was stolen?A．It cost him a lot of money.B．It had served as a useful arm.C．It had been his musical partner.D．It was created by a famous maker.5．What is the turning point of this story?A．The FBI got in touch with Jill.B．The Stradivarius was found missing.C．Roman Totenberg died in 2012, aged 101.D．The violin was taken to a master violin maker and dealer.6．Why would the family like the violin to be owned by a violinist?A．They intended to become well-known.B．They wanted to sell it at a higher price.C．They hoped to remember Roman Totenberg.D．They wished to make the most of the Stradivarius.7．Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A．Expert and confident.B．Creative and careful.C．Learned and proud.D．Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during thespecies native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. When it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection.“There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of life and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8．Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A．Planting more trees.B．Destroying the forests.C．Protecting the species.D．Polluting the rivers.9．What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A．The increase of extreme weather.B．The removal of CO2.C．More people with high blood pressure.D．The overgrowth of the bushmaster. 10．How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A．By making comparisons.B．By listing reasons.C．By explaining a definition.D．By making a summary.11．What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A．Doubtful.B．Worried.C．Positive.D．Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted orplayed games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12．Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A．Seeing movies.B．Watching videos.C．Texting friends.D．Surfing the internet.13．Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C．Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14．What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A．Frightening.B．Awkward.C．Hopeless.D．Encouraging. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD．Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of theThe following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love ofwanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed.18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.A．Learning difficulty.B．The reason for this is simple.C．Such exercise strengthens the brain.D．Inability to fully understand the world.E．It then makes you picture what you read.F．It is developed slowly just as any habit would.G．The ability to read is important in today’s world.二、完形填空As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheeringWhen the twins were five, Jada decided that she wanted to be a(n) 27 .

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Venice, one of Europe’s most historical, romantic, and unique cities, is in danger of drowning — not in one of its famed canals but under the weight of people. Since 1980, there have been more tourists than residents in V enice and right at present the number 13 (climb) rapidly. As tourists arrive, so do businesses to support them. Small, local stores are being replaced by souvenir shops and fast-food joints; Lately, accommodations 14 (transform) to Airbnbs, driving the cost of living here forever upwards. As locals leave the city, the vacuum (真空) is filled with yet 15 (much) tourist investment and before you know it, the charm and culture of old Venice that attracted us here in the first place has been transformed and lost. It’s no wonder that 16 World Heritage Committee has made a plan to add “Venice and its Lagoon” to its World Heritage in Danger list.Venice is not alone. Croatian favourite Dubrovnik, with history and cultural excellence, is suffering the same fate. There were 5,000 residents in 1991, but in 2017 only 1,157 people were living in the Old Town 17 it became overcrowded with tourists and businesses flooding to them. Dubrovnik is a convenient stop for cruise ships moving around the waters of the Adriatic and its popularity has grown further following the success of Game of Thrones, 18 was filmed there.Many popular locations have started to apply strategies 19 (fight) the rising tide of tourism using a combination of legislation and financial instruments. Barcelona is limiting the number of licenses for tourist accommodation 20 reducing the number of cruise ships allowed to dock (停泊). A smaller number of tourists are allowed to visit the Old Town and 21 will need to pay a city entry fee. The tourist tax is being increased to a price higher than 22 (expect). Venice has recently introduced a tourist fee to discourage day-trippers.三、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can beWhat makes the perfect winter read?As the weather turns and the sky darkens, autumn and winter can often feel like the perfect time for curling up with a good book.But I wonder if it’s just me who finds that my reading 23 seem to change along with the seasons? The books I might choose to read in some sunny garden are very different from the ones I want when the wind is blowing outside and a few precious hours of watery daylight are the best we can hope for.I always 24 writing that evokes (唤起) time and place, and in the midst of the coldest, darkest part of the year, I want more than ever for a book to be “a ball of light” in my hands, as Ezra Pound famously once put it — a(n) 25 of life and love.I also need a certain degree of comfortness in a winter read — something that will keep me warm when the weather won’t! Give me gothic (哥特式的) building in the snow, with heroines whose passions burn brightly. Or let me escape completely, into some fantasy 26 — but I’d still like my forests icy and pine smelling. Give me stories of 27 and re-birth. Remind me that this time of year has 28 , too.Katherine May’s beautiful, poetic deep thought on the season, Wintering, does precisely this. Seemingly, it’s 29 , combining aspects of her life with more universal thoughts on how we might winter well. But there’s a lyrical (抒情的), 30 quality to the writing that confuses plain concepts like “genre”. She 31 that in winter we need different tools to get us through the season and it also offers one such tool, since Wintering itself is the perfect guide book and 32 to see you through until spring.That’s why books that help me see the beauty of the season will always be high on my list of winter reads.四、完形填空Robot PetsIn July, Unitree, a Chinese company, launched Go2, its second-generation robotic dog.Priced from $1,270, this robot pet can walk, perform handstands, and take photographs. Equipped with a smart speaker, it responds to voice commands. Go2 joins the market as the latest in a series of attempts by scientists to create machines that can do everything a real animal does — and leave a lot less mess to 33 afterwards.The first robot dog available to buy was Sony’s AIBO. Released in 1999, AIBO was a(n) 34 hit — 3000 units sold in just under 20 minutes in Japan. Its name is a 35 of “artificial intelligence” and “robot”. AI is a computer programme that can learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human 36 . AIBO was discontinued in 2006, but went back on sale in 2017.With cameras for eyes, AIBO 37 obstacles and safely explores its surroundings. Voice-recognition technology enables it to turn its head to face a person when they speak, and even identify different voices. 38 , the dog has been programmed to respond to physical contact, such as touching its back or patting its head — just the way a real-life puppy would react. AIBO also “ 39 ” over time, and its behaviour changes as it develops from a playful puppy into an adult.Electronic pets are 40 toys for children, though. They can be valuable companions for older people, too. In 2022, a study by the University of Plymouth found that robot 41 could improve the wellbeing of elderly people who live in care homes and also those suffering from a condition that affects the brain. They found that the cute robots can provide all the emotional benefits of a real animal, without any of the work that comes with taking care of one.As technology develops, robot pets will become 42 advanced. Whether or not they take the place of living, breathing, barking and purring pets in our homes remains to be seen.33．A．clean up B．get into C．sort out D．centre around 34．A．delayed B．instant C．gradual D．tricky 35．A．renew B．reunion C．combination D．representation 36．A．strength B．intelligence C．responsibility D．appreciation 37．A．detects B．signals C．overcomes D．processes 38．A．For instance B．By contrast C．What’s more D．After all 39．A．varies B．fades C．adjusts D．matures 40．A．more than B．nothing but C．no more than D．less than41．A．participation B．attempts C．design D．companions 42．A．literally B．increasingly C．ironically D．relevantly五、阅读理解A short period of sleep taken during the day is known as a nap. Naps don’t just have benefits for adults at work, though. They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day. Studies have shown that a 20 to 30-minute “beauty sleep” makes people more alert and focused. This improves people’s ability to remember new information, which would help school children concentrate during lessons. Experts say that napping also improves brain functions, such as memory and the ability to complete difficult tasks.The school day starts early, which means that pupils don’t always get enough sleep because there’s no chance to have a lie-in. Adding naptime during the school day would help exhausted pupils to make up for any sleep they’ve lost from getting up so early.There are long-term benefits to taking a short nap, too. According to a recent study from University College London, the brains of people who have regular naps are bigger than those who don’t. People’s brains naturally shrink when they grow old, and the results showed that little sleeps can help people’s brains to age more slowly.Although a nap can seem like a good idea, going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse. It’s not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy. Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night. This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night, leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime. Sleep expert Dr Clete Kushida said, “It’s generally recommended to maximize sleep at night.”Another consideration is that there really isn’t time in the school day for pupils to go to sleep. Some parents and teachers are concerned that it would cause children to miss too much lesson time. Pupils might take advantage of the system and use their need for a nap as an excuse to get out of lessons.So, what do you think? Should school allow kids to have naps, or should you wait until the evening to catch up on your sleep?43．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．children need more naps than adults doB．naps improve memory, efficiency and beautyC．both children and adults are equally in need of napsD．naps can bring more benefits to children than to adults44．According to the passage, napping for too long is not advisable because ________.A．it may affect a healthier cycle of sleepB．school kids will feel too sleepy to wake upC．it can’t make up for the sleep lost from waking up earlyD．it extends the school day for kids to have enough lessons45．Which of the following statements can be learned about taking naps according to the passage?A．It’s better for babies to have as many daytime naps as possible.B．Regular naps can slow the rate at which brains shrink with age.C．There’s no need to guarantee night sleep if one has regular naps.D．Different from teachers, parents want their kids to have naptimes.46．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．Should Schools Have Naptimes?B．How Could Naptimes Benefit Kids?C．Are Kids Losing Too Much Sleep?D．Do You Get Enough Daytime Sleep?If you’ve ever seen a river rushing down a mountain or played in breaking waves at the beach, you’ll know that moving water contains a lot of energy. A river can push you and your boat downstream, sometimes quickly, and waves crashing into you at the beach can knock you back, or even knock you over.This energy of moving water originates from the water cycle, where water evaporates or is released from plants, rises to higher sea level, cools, and changes into liquid, forming clouds. Rain or snow that falls from these clouds flows downhill due to gravity, forming rivers or melting into existing water paths.Hydropower (水电) uses this energy from flowing water. It uses turbines, which are turned by moving water. These turbines turn around a rotor inside a device called generator, turning the motion into electricity with the help of magnets.There are two primary types of hydropower facilities (设施). The first is called the run-of-the-river facilities, which channel river water through turbines. The electricity production follows the timing of the river flow. When a river is running full with lots ofspring rain or meltwater, the turbine can produce more electricity. Later in the summer, when the river flow decreases, so does the turbine’s output. These types of power stations are typically small and easy to build, but there is limited ability to control the amount of electricity they produce.The second type is the dam (大坝)-based facilities. These use a solid dam to hold back the flow of a river and create an artificial lake behind it. The dam operator releases water from his lake, which flows through pipes inside the dam. Turbines within the dam generate electricity as the water passes through them, and then the water flows out the other side. These facilities are usually large and can affect river habitats, but they can also produce a lot of electricity in a controllable manner.Hydropower depends on the availability of water in flowing rivers. As climate change affects the water cycle, some regions may have less rainfall and therefore less hydropower generation. Since hydropower is a form of renewable electricity, it can play a role in limiting climate change. Hydropower facilities can also help avoid any imbalance in electricity production from wind farms and solar power plants.47．The underlined word “evaporate” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A．form a circle B．turn into a gasC．fall to the ground D．change into liquid48．According to paragraph 3, which of the following words best fits the box with “?” in the picture of a hydropower setup?A．turbine B．magnet C．pipe D．rotor 49．What can we learn about the two basic types of hydropower facilities mentioned in the passage?A．Only dam-based facilities use water to generate electricity and they are easy toconstruct.B．Electricity production by the run-of-the-river facilities doesn’t vary with river flow.C．Dam-based facilities provide a more considerable and adjustable electricity supply.D．Run-of-the-river facilities have a larger impact on river habitats than dam-basedfacilities.50．What is the author’s attitude towards hydropower?A．Optimistic B．Critical C．Doubtful D．IndifferentKeeping a bit of the outdoors inside is nothing new, but houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend — which means that more people than ever are discovering the comfort and beauty that caring for plants brings.51 Exposure to greenery, whether you have indoor plants, take walks outside or tend to a garden, has been found to have multiple mental-health benefits, such as lowering stress, decreasing feelings of depression, increasing sociability, restoring focus, improving cognitive performance, improving mood and increasing self-esteem.“One study showed that patients at a hospital who had plants in their room reported less pain, lower blood pressure, less fatigue and less anxiety than patients without plants in their rooms,” says Jenny Seham, a New York-based psychologist. She explains: “Cortisol, the stress hormone, has been shown to lower with plant interaction, reducing fatigue, irritability (易怒) and blood pressure.”Research has also shown that having plants and gardening increase productivity and levels of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for lifting our mood. 52 And it is also opposed to dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.Before you fill your space with greenery, consider how you’ll interact with your plants.53 Can you care for them daily?If you have a small space or aren’t sure how much time you’re willing to invest in “plant parenting.” Start slow. “ 54 It can engage you by its smell or colour, creating a positive mood response with every interaction,” says Seham.A．For instance, is there enough space for plants in areas where you spend a lot of time?B．Half the fun of gardening is that you never know exactly what’s going to come up.C．It’s a feel-good hobby that’s supported by science.D．While indoor gardening can boost your feelings of wellbeing, help reduce stress and promote relaxation, it’s not, of course, a substitute for a trained mental health professional.E．The theory is that plant care helps us focus on the present moment and provides a feeling of accomplishment.F．Just one plant can make a difference.六、完成句子七、翻译60．应该采取积极措施来防止疾病蔓延。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. Andmuch to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans (哀叹) all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.1. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. the writer’s studiesB. the writer’s future jobC. dinner plansD. wars around the world2. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother _____.A. doesn’t want the writer to major Engl ishB. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctorC. gets along very well with the writerD. doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea3. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be li ke his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.BSpecialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their newenvironment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to (适应) their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick(想家), people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape doessolve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.4. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the followingexcept _____.A. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness5.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, __________.A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad6. The underlined word in the last paragraph mostly probably means ________.A. being homesickB. being lostC. protecting oneselfD. gaining experience7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Escape unfamiliar environmentB. The feeling of homesickness.C. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock.D. The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar withthe new culture.CTo master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write．Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian．But when they went to England in 1980, English people couldn’t understand what was said to them．These days more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study．So the spoken language is becoming more and more important．Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening．If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly．The sounds of the Chinese and English language are not exactly the same．If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers．Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas．People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing．The important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively language．Chinese students read far too slowly．If you read fast, you understand better．If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about．When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary．Guess the meaning from the context(上下文)．Youmay not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer．If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book．Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people w hose language they’re studying．They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation．In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time．8．In the first paragraph the writer tells us ．A．how to speak EnglishB．how to read and writeC．why spoken English is importantD．why English people couldn’t understand Lenin9．In his last point the writer advises us ．A．to kill two birds with one stoneB．to learn two languages at a timeC．to study all the subjects in a foreign languageD．to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying．10．In the fourth paragraph the writer give some advice on ．A．how to read fasterB．how to guess the meaning from the contextC．how to look up new words in the dictionaryD．how to grasp the general meaning of a passage11．“To kill two birds with one stone” means．A．to get some particular knowledge B．to get more than what one paysC．the stone is too big D．the birds are blind enoughDThe temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core(核心). In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere. But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.The sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse (日食) such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare(刺眼的强光)of the sun’s rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensationalsight during an eclipse. The corona’s ra ys flash out in abrilliant fan that has wispy spikelike (一束束穗状) rays nearthe sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at thesun’s equator.The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as theyreach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’scorona rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible.12. Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas becauseof the sun’s ______.A. sizeB. ageC. locationD. temperature13. With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned?A. How the sun evolved.B. Thestructure of the sun.C. Why scientists study the sun.D. Thedistance of the sun from the planets.14. All of the following are parts of the sun’ s atmosphereEXCEPT the _______.A. coronaB. chromosphereC. photosphereD. core15. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?A. The remaining layers of the sun.B. The evolution of the sun to its present form.C. The eclipse of February 1979.D. Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona.其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, 33 greener eating and reduce plastic use. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, 34 increase the cutting down of trees. That means in most cases solutions aiming at one problem each time are 35 to be effective. And, what is perhaps lacking is a(n) 36 of how interlinked these problems are.We should realize that a key 37 linking al the three problems is waste. The root cause of global warming is CO2, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We 38 forests, among other things, to grow more food — much of which goes to waste.A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world — of the more than 100 billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid 39 attention. The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw” — towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin 40 the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled.Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. Governments must take the lead by introducing laws with the purpose of rewarding green practices, such as the 41 of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and 42 themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models.Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Listening, speaking, reading and writing are necessary to everyday life, where language is the primary tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words and phrases we unknowingly 43 — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.Linguists attempt to 44 what is individual and general about the language we use. They also try to find how it came into use and the ways it 45 over time. After researches, they consider language as a cultural, social and mental thing.“Understanding why and how languages are different from one another tells about what is human, and in contrast, discovering what’s 46 about languages can help us understand the heart of our humanity,” said Dan Jurafsky, the Professor in Humanities and chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.The stories below show some of the ways linguists have 47 many parts of language.Stanford linguists have found that even the smallest differences in language use is 48 the speakers’ belief,according to research. One study finds that a(n) 49 harmless sentence, such as “girls are as good as boys at math,” can in some way reflect sexist stereotypes (性别刻板印象). The statement’s grammatical form suggests that being good at math is more 50 for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a(n) 51 role in showing how we and others understand the worldStudying other languages helps us have a better understanding of 52 around the world. People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there are a lot of similar things among languages, each one is 53 , both in its structure and in the way it reflects the culture of the people who speak it. Jurafsky advised that we shouldn’t only 54 our own language — it’s also important to study other languages and how they develop as time changes. They can help us understand what is rooted in humans’ different way of communicating with one another.Linguists study how certain speech models match special 55 , including how language can influence the buying decision or their social media use, and they both vary a lot among people. 56 , in one research paper, a group of Stanford researchers examined the differences in how two parties — Republicans and Democrats, who have different ways of speech, express themselves online. The purpose is to help us know how a(n) 57 difference of beliefs can occur on social media.“Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in deciding how we can help bring people together,” Jurafsky said.43.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — ashuge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe.I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and againWhen it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door.58. What made the author avoid visiting Olympic National Park in summer?A. The wish to stay close to communities.B. The likelihood to meet crowds of people.C. The quiet environment in an ancient forest.D. The rough coastlines and the woody beaches.59. According to paragraph 2, the author thinks that traveling alone can ______.A. keep opening up her worldviewB. slow her down in living her dreamsC. stop her leaving her comfortable zoneD. give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers there.B. The park offers five completely different places to stay in.C. Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection.D. The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president.61. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the author’s love for the Pacific NorthwestB. the author’s solo trip to Olympic National ParkC. the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National ParkD. the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones(B)The connection we have to cats is so strong it feels almost as though they can read our thoughts, study our moods, and even judge how to behave based on our needs. But what really goes on in their sweet, furry heads?Research suggests that cats don’t necessarily see us as any different from them. While cats understand that their human caretakers are larger than they are, they continue to behave around us in the same way as if they were around other cats. The only key difference is that cats meow to humans, not other cats.Owners wondering about what the cats are thinking about should turn to cat body language. Since these are the ways your cat primarily communicates with you, studying their body language can help you understand then on a deeper level and you may start with tails:We may think we have great insight into “cat thinking”, but we may never fully understand them. There exist lots of misunderstandings about cats, most notably:*Cats try to be alien and prefer to be alone. No! They are actually social animals who hope for close relationship.*Purring (making a low continuous sound) only means happiness…In fact, it can also suggest pressure, fear, or pain. Keep an eye out for illness, and be prepared in the case of an unexpected accident.*Cats scratch (抓) to anger people. Wrong again! Cats need to act out this to give themselves great pleasure and comfort.A recent study concluded that cats, when given a choice between playing with certain toys or having interactive fun with a human being, decisively choose to play with a person. For us here at Cat Care of Vinings, it’s two-sided!As always, please call us with any questions or concerns. Or, let us know what you believe cat thinking is all about!Tags: Cat Thinking Cat Thoughts My Cat’s Brain What Does My Cat ThinkPosted in: The Cat’s MeowPrevious: A Pun-fact Match: The Keys to Successful Cat AdoptionNext: Your Guide to Fourth of July Cat Safety62. We may find this passage from a ______.A. newspaperB. posterC. magazineD. website63. If the owner gives the cat its favorite food, what will it probably do?A. Keep its tail low.B. Hook its tail.C. Hide its tail.D. Shake its tail.64. The cat may prefer to ______.A. interact with peopleB. purr to suggest angerC. keep away from man-made toysD. scratch to attract attention(C)Nothing compares with the joy of coming home to a lovely pet. Besides keeping one company, pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their social skills. Over the past 10 years, researchers have been looking at what the possible effects are.Animals can offer comfort and support. Dogs are espe cially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes. Ann Berger, a researcher at the NIH Clinical Center, teaches the patients with serious diseases about mindfulness to help decrease stress and manage pain. “Mindfulness includ es attention, awareness, e tc.,”Berger says, “all those are things that animals bring to the table. People kind of have to learn it, while animals do this innately.” Researchers are also studying the safety of bringing animals into hospital settings because animals may bring people more germs (病菌). A current study is looking at the safety of bringing dogs to visit children with a certain kind of illness. Scientists will be testing the children’s hands to see if there are dangerous levels of germs brought by the dog after the visit.Dogs may also help in the classroom. One study found that dogs can help children with ADHD, a disease related to attention. Researchers divided children with ADHD into two groups. The first group of kids read to dogs once a week for 30 minutes. The second group read to toys like dogs. After 12 weeks, kids who read to the real animals showed better social skills. They also had fewer behavioral problems. “Animals can become a way of building a bridge for the social communication,” says Griffin, a child development expert at NIH. He adds that researchers are trying to better understand these effects and whom they might help.While pets may bring many health advantages, an animal may not work for everyone. Recent studies suggest that living with pets at an early age may help protect young children from developing allergies (过敏), but for people who are allergic to certain animals, having pets in the home can do more harm than good.Researchers will continue to explore the many effects of having a pet. They are trying to find out what’s working, what’s not working, and what’s safe.65. When the author says “animals do this innately” in paragraph 2, he probably means ______.A. animals learn from humans to do thisB. animals teach people to stop doing itC. animals are born to be able to do thisD. animals learn to do this as humans do66. What does the study about dogs in the classroom tell us?A. Reading to real dogs could help kids improve behavior.B. Researchers brought dogs there to attract kids’ attention.C. Dogs have poorer social skills than the kids with ADHD.D. Toy dogs work as well as real dogs in accompanying kids.67. What can we learn about the researchers in the passage?A. They still have a long way to go in exploring pets’ effect.B. They don’t doubt the safety of using animals in hospitals.C. Berger helps patients to gain the ability to cure themselves.D. Griffin doesn’t agree that dogs improve children’s reading.68. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Pets’ Various WorkB. The Power of PetsC. Pets as Assistants in SchoolD. Patients’ Call for PetsSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Club Activities in Japanese SchoolsIn the after-class activities of Japanese high schools, there are various clubs. Participation depends on students; however, most students choose a certain club. 69 And there are various kinds within each type.A recent survey showed activity participation rate (比率). In junior high schools, participation rate was around 70% in sports clubs and around 20% in culture clubs. In senior high schools, participation rate in sports clubs dropped to about 50%, and in culture clubs, rose to around 25%. One reason is that there are more kinds of culture clubs in senior high schools than in junior high schools, so there is a wider range of choices. 70The rate of junior high school students not choosing any club was less than 10%. However, that number more than doubled in senior high school. In recent years, the number of students not joining in any clubs is increasing. Stronger individualism, which causes unwillingness to participate in group activities, is one factor behind this change.71 Japanese clubs are considered “a part of education” and are different from club activities overseas. Learning teamwork is a common factor; in particular, sports clubs have a strict hierarchy (等级制度) and are useful in leaning to be polite. This is said to have influenced the way Japanese companies work, for example, with respect for seniors. Compared to sports clubs, the hierarchy in culture clubs is not as strict. 72 Besides, clubs which practice traditional Japanese martial arts and culture offer a valuable chance to learn the traditional arts firsthand. By experiencing such arts in teenage years, the chance of passing traditional culture to the next generation is large.Ⅳ. Outline WritingDirections: Read the following passage and complete the brief outline that follows. Write no more than 5 words for each blank.Interesting Traditions Around the WorldTraditions are passed down from generation to generation to inform us of our history. Some are widespread and taken on by one and all, like celebrating New Year and birthdays, and then there are some that are quite strange or interesting and practiced only by a small group of people.Famadihana, also called the turning of the bones, is a festival in Madagascar that honors the dead and celebrates family ties. Every seven years or so, families who can afford rich dinners for guests and new clothes for the living families and the dead, celebrate the festival. They give out gifts for the dead and crying is discouraged during the celebration.Bali’s Day of Silence, or Nyepi, as they call it, is a holiday celebrated with eating little or no food as well as meditation, the practice of thinking deeply in silence. The whole island shuts off all sounds, lights, and all other activities, so there is peace all around. Days before the actual celebration, Balinese people make the ogoh-ogoh (dangerous animals) statues (雕像) that will be used and paraded through the streets the day before Nyepi. The statues are then usually burnt after supposedly attracting dangerous animals.Having started in Middle Ages, flag throwing has long been popular in Tuscany. As the Italians love a good celebration, army parades were held with marching bands and flag bearers. Since flags are considered sacred, the flag bearers have to make sure that they do not fall to the ground. Today, flag throwing is not just popular in Tuscany but also in the whole of Italy.Some traditions may sound strange, yet people hold them close to their hearts and still practice the age-old rituals to this day. These rituals are part of their culture and history and are able to shape and describe people.Outline:Ⅰ. IntroductionAs a form of historic culture, some traditions are shared altogether and others are 73 and celebrated by only a few.Ⅱ. Body partPeople in Madagascar celebrate Famadihana to honor the dead and 74 .During Nyepi in Bali, people eat little or no food and 75 ; days before the festival, statues are made and later they will be burnt.Flag throwing features army parades and gains popularity in Italy.Ⅲ. ConclusionPeople still hold fast to some age-old rituals, because these traditions can 76 .Ⅳ.

山东省德州市2022-2023学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷(含答案)
山东省德州市2022-2023学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Paris has a fantastic collection of cafes, whether you need a cozy spot or a cup of coffee. Here are some of the best places I discovered when I was sent to the branch in Paris to cover an event.Groundstate CaféSitting in the heart of the city, Groundstate Cafe is always recommended by news reporters. You can easily enjoy a carefree day with a book and a cup of coffee. Groundstate is a popular spot for artists because of the ancient paintings collected by the shop owner. The waiters are always ready to help you.Le ProcopeLocated on a downtown street, Le Procope is famous for its enthusiastic service and delicious snacks. Office workers always chat with their friends and have fun with their colleagues. You can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine because they only have seats outdoors. As a result, the owner only runs the shop during the warm seasons.Coutume CaféSituated in the city centre, Coutume Cafe is popular among businessmen to meet their clients. The cafe promotes a life of luxury with fantastic decoration and comfortable chairs. Waiters who are highly educated and elegant can help visitors choose the right type of coffee. MotorsThis recently-opened coffee shop is located in the countryside. They sell delicious local desserts. The waitresses there are helpful and friendly. Some of them are college students who take part-time jobs during weekends. It is also a perfect shopping market for people to buy some coffee products and taste some local delicacies. I am sure that I will bring some products to my colleagues when I return.1、Which place appeals to art lovers?A. Groundstate Cafe.B.Le Procope.C. Coutume Cafe.D.Motors.2、What do Le Procope and Motors have in common?A. They have a long history.B. They are located downtown.C. They both offer nice snacks.D. They are open all year round.3、What does the writer probably do?A.A famous cook.B.A French artist.C. A news reporter.D.A waitress in Cafe.On Oct.24,2018 photo, a male red siskin bird is resting on a branch in Vargas, Venezuela. The bird is called “Little Cardinal” by the locals and appears on the money of Venezuela, on products and even in school books. But recently, the small song birds are disappearing from the wild.Once flourishing in the millions, as few as 300 remain in the wild in Venezuela. The male siskin is valued for its red feathers and black head. Hunters, even the local farmers, often catch and sell the birds for money. Protection under Venezuelan law has not stopped hunters from catching the birds to sell on an illegal international market. Meanwhile, more and more forests are being cut down to plant cash crops.That threat has brought attention from an international team. The team includes scientists from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. and coffee farmers in Venezuela's mountains. They hope to save the bird with the help of the farmers. An effective plan has been made to have farmers plant organic coffee plants. Such coffee plants are covered with branches which make good nesting places for the birds.Planting organic coffee crops with branches stops farmers from increasing production by thinning their coffee crops to let more sun onto their fields. Farmers wh o meet the project’s rules will win the right to sell their beans with “Bird Friendly” labels. They will be able to set prices for such “high quality” products that can be five times higher than legal prices set by the government.At the same time, a red siskin breeding center is being built at a private zoo in Venezuela where 200 birds are expected to be born next year. This number will be added to the 25 siskins at the Smithsonian Institution. Red siskins from the center will be placed in the coffee forests. These efforts could prevent the birds from disappearing.There are reports of early success. About 40 farmers in the mountains of Carayaca, northwest of the capital Caracas, have stopped cutting down trees, a move that will help the siskin to get away from the dangerous situation.4、What do we know about the siskin from paragraph 1?A. Its benefits for local education.B. Its wide popularity in the past.C. Its beautiful gesture on branches.D. Its great value for the environment.5、What caused the decl ine in the bird’s number?A. Lack of laws from the government.B. Illegal trade for making high profits.C. Being hunted for the delicious meat.D. Planting cash crops for enough food.6、Why does the team have farmers plant organic coffee plants?A. To let more sun onto the farmers’ fields.B. To improve the quality of the cash crops.C. To offer branches to the breeding center.D. To create enough nesting places for the bird.7、What is the text mainly about?A. The value of the endangered red siskin.B. The reasons for the red siskin's disappearing.C. The profits the farmers get from coffee plants.D. The efforts the team made to save the red siskin.Is it likely that a person who originally has no language ability is cheerfully discussing the World Cup with you? The answer is yes.In a paper published in Nature Communications on November 8, 2022, researchers have successfully changed the brain waves of an aphasic (失语症) paralyzed person into sentences, which are displayed on the computer screen and can “say” thousands of words, as is intended.This participant is 30 years old. A decade ago he was aphasic due to stroke, his arms and legs unable to move. He depended on a pole pinned on the baseball cap to click the letters on the screen to communicate with people. It's quite inconvenient.Last year researchers from the University of California used the latest technology to implant (植入) a device into the speech motor area of his brain and connect it with a neural (神经的) instrument to monitor brain wave patterns when he expressed different words. They used computer programs to build a language model with a vocabulary of 50 words for him. When he used these words to “speak” in his mind, his brain wave movement was turned into complete sentences and shown on the screen. For months the team recorded his neural activity when he “spoke”, used AI to identify various patterns and linked them to the words. Once a researcher asked on the screen, “Do you want some water?” And he answered, “No. I'm not thirsty.”“The spellin g speed of the device reaches 29.4 characters per minute. The character error rate is only 6.13%. The offline test results show it can be expanded to a large vocabularycontaining 9000 words, maintaining a low character error rate-8.23%,” said Sean Metzger, the lead author of the paper. “Aphasic people like to use this device as it makes communication convenient. Anything is possible.”More aphasic people are needed to participate in the test, which is still a long way from promotion. Experts warn although the study results are impressive, electrode implantation is risky.8、What is the purpose of the research?A. To assist aphasic patients to talk.B. To better people's communication.C. To cure those incapable of speaking.D. To improve patients' language skills.9、What does paragraph 4 focus on?A. The practical application of the findings.B. A disadvantage of the language model.C. The working process of the implanted device.D. A supporting evidence for the research results.10、What can be inferred from Sean Metzger's words?A. The device may have a promising futureB. The device can do anything for aphasic group.C. Further research will centre on avoiding errors.D. Further research will face many new challenges.11、Which word best describes the author's attitude to the device?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.There’s bad news for parents who frequently leave their kids in front of the TV: It might actually end up leaving moms and dads more stressed. The findings come from a University of Arizona-led study, which explores the potential effects of children’s television watching habits on their parents’ stress levels.The logic behind this is clear. The more television kids watch, the more they’re exposed (接触) to advertising, which often features bright colors, upbeat music and flashy characters and can be especially persuasive, since, developmentally, children aren’t fully capable of understanding advertising’s intention. “The more advertisements they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when going with their parents and perhaps make a fuss if told ‘no’. All that may increase parents’ overall stress well beyond a single shopping trip,”said lead study author Matthew Lapierre.There are a few things parents can do, perhaps the most obvious of which is limiting screen time. “Commercial content is there for a reason: to elicit purchasing behavior. So, if this is a problem, maybe shut off the TV,” Lapierre said. Of course, that can be easier said than done, he admitted.Another thing parents can try, especially as advertising targeting children rockets around the holidays: Consider how they talk to their kids about consumerism. At this time, effective parent-child consumer-related communication can work well.Overall, communication between parents and children is a better strategy for reducing stress in parents. However, the research found, this communicative strategy shows dropping returns when children ask for more products or have more consumer conflict with parents.With the rise of streaming services, however, many viewers are no longer being exposed to the traditional advertising of network or cable TV. Advertisers are finding creative ways around that, for example, through product placement and integrated (综合的) branding in a show, Lapierre said. And advertising toward children remains a multibillion-dollar industry.“In general, more television exposure means more exposure to advertisements. Even if I’m streaming, I’m likely seeing more integrated branding,” Lapierre said, “such hidden advertising is harder to detect and has a greater influence on children’s consuming habits, leaving parents more stressed.12、What does Matthew Lapierre attempt to explore in the study?A. The influence the bad news on TV has on parents.B. Children's ability to understand TV commercials.C. The stress the kids’ watching TV brings to parents.D. Strategies to stop kids watching TV advertisements.13、What does the underlined word “elicit” mean in paragraph 3?A. Cause.B. Challenge.C. Practise.D. Guarantee.14、How does Lapierre consider the placement advertising in streaming services?A. A simple and better means of advertising a productB. A hidden way to promote products or brands to kidsC. An easy way to avoid conflicts between kids and parents.D. An effective approach to keeping kids from TV commercials.15、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. People should keep off the influence of TV adsB. Advertisers make commercial contents appealingC. TV commercials can educate the kids unknowinglyD. Kids’ exposure to TV makes parents more stressed二、七选五16、Bread Baking in Ancient EgyptDid you know that bread is one of the earliest human inventions?①_______ Other ingredients (原料）and shapes can vary- Scientists have learned that humans have been eating bread in some form or another for 30, 000 years.Archaeologists (考古学家）have discovered pictures of bakeries and loaves of bread in ancient Egyptian archaeological sites. ②_______ Home-bakers, usually women, baked only the bread they would need for that day.In fact, because they had no potatoes or rice, bread was the most important in the ancient Egyptians’ diet.

Her best friend was Lily, a bird who also lived on the same tree with her family.One day, the two friends were on their way back home from school. Lily said that Raksha Bandhan was round the corner and she was going to make rakhis(保护绳) for her two brothers. She asked Mia if she wanted to help her. Mia said sorry because she had some housework to do. Then they went to their own homes.In many parts of India and Nepal, Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of the relationship between a brot her and a Sister. The sister ties a rakhi on the brother’s hand and in return, the brother gives promises to protect her and also gives her a gift.Mia understood that Raksha Bandhan did not belong to her- she was an only child, so she refused to join Lily. She climbed the banyan tree and sat on a branch(树枝), looking sad. Mia's mother came up to her and asked why.Hearing Mia's reason, her mother had an idea, saying, “ But you too can celebrate the festival with your brother-- this banyan tree!”“How can a tree be my brother? " asked Mia in surprise."This tree has been protecting us for years. We live on it and rest in its shade(树荫). You and your friends play on its branches. So, it ‘plays’with you just like a brother does,” explained Mia’s mother.Mia’s face lit up. Oh, yes! The banyan tree was just like her brother! Then she joined Lily at her house and together they made three rakhis.On the day of Raksha Bandhan, eager(热切的)to celebrate it with her tree brother, Mia woke up early. She tied the rakhi on one of its branches and hugged(拥抱) the tree.”Thank you for being my brother!” said Mia.4. What might Lily’s brothers do after receiving her rakhis?A. Hug the banyan tree.B.

The 44-year-old NPR (National Public Radio) hosts(主持) three of Apple' s top-20 podcasts, including Wow in the World, NPR' s first podcast for kids.Raz, who is known for his light-blue eyeglasses, has entertained many families across thousands of miles of road trips. The best thing about him is that he can make any topic feel like just the thing you’ve always wanted to know about.Podcasts are whenever and wherever radio, Raz explained. You can listen to them wherever you want, wherever you want —in a plane, a car, or at the kitchen table.Wow in the World is the brainchild of Raz and his co-host, Mindy Thomas. The show “takes” kids through time and space, reporting science news with surprising sound effects (效果), and funny words like “ exactdoritos ” and “bonkerballs.”When asked why the show was created, Raz said, “Mindy has two kids, and I have two kids. Both of us were really worried about how much screen time our children not only had, but wanted. We don' t want kids to pay too much attention to the screen. So the idea was, ‘Let’s create something that is so good; it competes with a video.' What happened was beyond (超出) our expectations.”Raz noted that podcasts fire the imagination in a way that screens don't. “Every single person experiences podcasts differently.” he said. “When you watch a cartoon, for example, the pictures are given to you.

I think you have a beautiful name. Of course, 1' d say the same to Olivia L., Olivia R..，and Olivia S. Come to think of it; maybe “Dear Olivias” would have been a better header.I too, was given one of my birth year’s most popular names. I was one of many Erins in 1980.1 wonder if our parents considered how many of us, both Erins and Olivias, there would be. Growing up, I babysat （照看孩子）an Erin whose house was across our backyard, knew an Erin who lived around the corner and who also happened to be my best friend's older sister, knew an Erin who lived just down the street. Not to mention the Erin population at school.Mostly. I felt like the Erins around me weren’t much like me. 1 thought it was strange that we all had the same name. Then, around Grade 9, as my brother was changing his name from Stacey James to S.J., I wanted to change my name, too.I experimented （尝试）a bit with how I might respell my middle name Megan and decided on Maygen, and hyphenated （用连接号连接）it with Erin. I kept using this name until a couple of years later when I said goodbye to Erin all together.Now, having spent most of my life as Maygen, I've learned that although there were no Megans in my neighbourhood, it turns out I had changed my name to an even more popular name of the 1980s.But you know what? Common or not, 1 love my name. In my life, I've befriended Erin after Erin, none of whom remind （使想起）me of the kid I babysat or my friend's sister.I’m not sure why names become popular, but one thing is certain, Olivia: your name is loved by many.
