For the disabled sisters, who both have spina bifida (脊柱裂), it may have seemed that all hopes were lost at that time. But after being adopted by a British couple, they have become two of the country's most promising wheelchair basketball stars.In 2005, the Haizes adopted them. Then, they moved to the UK when Joy was six and Miriam was seven. The girls discovered the wheelchair basketball through a chance conversation, which Mr. Haize had with a friend in 2011. They hadn't known wheelchair sports before, but Joy was hooked from the beginning.While Miriam loved the sport, it took her a little longer to become a serious athlete. “I used to have really low self-respect,” she said. “It's only when Joy got into the Under 25s Europ ean Championships in 2013 that I started to take basketball seriously. It gave me a path to follow.” Miriam was then chosen to play at both regional trials and the Sainsbury's School Games in 2014. Of course, she earned herself a place at the famous GB Futures training camp. “GB Futures helped me a lot. It helped me take basketball to another level and learn more about the game and its history. It also helped me be more independent,” said Miriam. Meanwhile, Joy is currently the youngest player on the GB women's team — but she is making her mark on the international stage, having represented Great Britain in tournaments (锦标赛) all over the world.The teenagers are now eager to encourage others to explore the world of wheelchair sports. “You should have c onfidence in yourself. That's the one thing to help you succeed. Having setbacks helped me grow into a person and player. No matter what people said to us, we just tried our best,” said the girls.4.What happened to Joy and Miriam when they were born?A. They were adopted by a British couple.B. They were abandoned to an orphanage.C. They moved to the UK with their parents.D. They lived with parents in an orphanage.5.The sisters first got to know the wheelchair basketball from ________.A.GB Futures training campB. their P.E. teacher by chanceC. a conversation in a TV programD. a talk between their father and his friend6.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the Haizes aimed to train Joy to become the world championB. Joy set a good example to Miriam in the wheelchair basketballC.it took Joy a long time to take the wheelchair basketball seriouslyD. Miriam is the youngest player on the women's basketball team7.What suggestion did the disabled sisters give to others?A. Put your heart into work!B.A good beginning is half done!C. All roads lead to Rome.D. Believe in yourself!CInternet time tied to teen depression(抑郁) symptomsSpending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens —or too little, for that matter —might be related to depression, a new study finds.The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about "depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account.Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.8.How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?A. More than two hours.B. More than eight hours.C. More than twelve hours.D. More than ten hours.9.What’s the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues’ study?A. To know the actual number of teenagers online.B. To know the actual time of teenagers online.C. To know the influence of study online on teenagers.D. To know the relationship between the Internet use and depression.10.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph?A. Independent.B. United.C. Separated.D. Capable.11.According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude?A. Non-users of Internet aren’t likely to be depressed.B. Among girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users.C. Heavy users will lead to death unless limited.D. Non-users have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.DA study, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanford University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers (汇款)from the government, either as a handout or as a “reward” for something like getting kids to school on time or taking them to the doctor for checkups.Evans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes .What they found was that they almost always led to a reduction in a family’s alcohol and tobacco purchases.The news may surprise some people, b ut it’s true, and the researchers have several theories about why.One theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible. Investing in their kids’ education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within rea ch now, but without the cash handout, these goals weren’t even a possibility. So families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality.Another theory is that people just generally seem to do what they’re told. If they are given money and told to use it for their family’s welfare, in most cases, they will do just that. And that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children.Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clear—families that receive cash handouts don’t waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought. Instead, they typically use that mone y for the benefit of their families. And that’s money well spent.12.The study proves that .A. cash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseB. cash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsC. given cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoD. poor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs13.A cash transfer led to a reduction in a family’s alcohol and tobacco purchases because.A. the education gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol and tobaccoB. the money previously for alcohol and tobacco would help realize their dreamC. buying healthier and more expensive foods left less money for alcohol and tobaccoD. that was the promise made before the cash transfer was given to the poor family14.In paragraph 5, when the author said “women control the purse strings”, he just meant “”.A. women are told what to doB.women are given the moneyC.women know what to do with the moneyD.women have the final word for money15.The passage mainly tells us .A.how the study was carried outB.why cash transfer is preferredC.the findings of a study and explanations to themD.the theories for a study about cash transfers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。

Amazed at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them carefully to learn their techniques. Then I kept practicing until I became confident enough to challenge the good players. At the end of the term I became one of the best players in my class.I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand the proverb "Practice makes perfect.”三、阅读理解20. Coaches and parents always tell us to keep our goals in mind when we go for a competition. Carrying your goals and expectations into a competition is one of the biggest mistakes any athlete can make. This is a big game and you want to win. You want to score a hundred, defeat your competitors, or score a hat-trick(三分)of goals. When you carry your goals into the competitive ground with you, chances are great that you will leave that performance with disappointment and heartache, and nothing more!Expectations will weigh you down. Expectations will distract (使分心)you from theperformance and make your muscles tighten up. Want to perform to your potential when it counts the most? Then write your goals on a piece of paper before you leave for the game, match or race, and then leave that paper at home! Make a deal with yourself to let go of your goals. Expectations and goals should be your training partner, used to motivate you to work harder during practice and take your game to the next level, However, never take your goals and expectations into a competition. You will not perform to your potential!Go into your competitions without any preconceived (预想的)ideas about the result. Forget the outcome! Instead, keep your focus on what you’re doing in the moment. Think of the competition as it unfolds, moment by moment. Relax at every opportunity by breathing deep and letting go of the tension in your muscles. When you do this you’ll remain loose and relaxed. When you stay loose, you’ll perform to your capabilities. Goals and expecta tions are very important for your overall motivation, and very harmful when you carry them into a performance.67. According to the passage, for an athlete one of the biggest mistakes is _______.A. forgetting his goals when competingB. worrying about his not winningC. carrying his goals into the competitionD. paying too much attention to the result68. The underlined part “weigh you down” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.A. make you feel anxiousB. make you want to do somethingC. help you perform to the potentialD. help you concentrate on something69. According to the author, expectations and goals should be ________.A. set within one’s capabilitiesB. used as an encouragement when trainingC. written down in case of being forgottenD. divided into some small parts70. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Keep your goals in mindB. Set your goals for a competitionC. Forget your goals after competitions D .Leave your goals at home参考答案:CABD21. I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have anychance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines, I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“Where did you go?”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didn’t sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel. It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.4. Why did the boy start his job young?A. He wanted to be famous in the future.B. The job was quite easy for him.C. His mother had high hopes for him.D. The competition for the job was fierce.5. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.A. excitedB. interestedC. ashamedD. disappointed6. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A. She forced him to continue.B. She punished him.C. She gave him some money.D. She changed her plan.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The early life of a journalist.B. The early success of a journalist.C. The happy childhood of the writer.D. The important role of the writer in his family.参考答案:4. C5. D6. A7. A:文章讲述的是自己童年时卖报纸的经历。

2020年河北衡水中学高三英语期末试题及参考答案
2020年河北衡水中学高三英语期末试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABritain's brilliant bridges have aided trade and brought communities together and are always the most exciting part of the journey. These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling”, in was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-Jong toll (收费) bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ l toll for every journey pays for its repair. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly spectacular (壮观) at night. The arches of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity symbol, thereby inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Cornish granite, Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital and experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor.Iron Bridge, ShropshireOpened in 1781, this is the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the cart of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.1.Which bridge has the longest history?A.Clifton Suspension Bridge.B.Infinity Bridge.C.Tower Bridge.D.Iron Bridge.2.What can we know about Infinity Bridge?A.People can just walk on it.B.The public give it two names.C.It's well worth visiting at night.D.It's arch is the biggest on the earth.3.What do Clifton Suspension Bridge and Tower Bridge have in common?A.They are both over 120 years old.B.Visitors should pay for passing them.C.They have the same original design.D.Visitors can have a good view of London on them.BThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.4. When we begin to learn English, we think _________.A. it is interesting to pick up a new languageB. English rules are wrongly presented in factC. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD. only adults have the ability to affect a language5. From paragraph 3 we can know that_________.A. we can change the English languageB. many languages are changing over yearsC. English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation6. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A. people speak in different waysB. people have adopted foreign wordsC. it has been affected by American EnglishD. makers of dictionaries often change them7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Foreign words involved in English.B. The British speaks differently from Americans.C. English language is changing over years.D. You can change the English language.CConducting interviews for news stories is an important skill for any journalist. To start, do as much research as you can and prepare a list of questions to ask. Once the interview starts, try to develop a rapport(融洽的关系) with your "source"—anyone a journalist interviews, but don't waste your time. If your source starts to talk about things that are clearly of no use to you, don't be afraid to gently but firmly turn the conversationback to the topic at hand.It's an old debate among journalists: Which works better when interviewing a source, taking notes (the old-fashioned way) or using a cassette or digital voice recorder? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A reporter's notebook and a pen or pencil are the easy-to-use, time-honored tools of the interviewing trade, while recorders enable you to get everything someone says word for word. Which works better? It depends on what kind of story you're doing.Many beginning reporters complain that with a notepad and pen, they can never take down everything a source says in an interview. But you don't have to note everything down. Keep in mind that you're probably not going to use everything they say in your story. So don't worry if youlet slipa few things.So you've done a long interview with a source, you have pages of notes, and you're ready to write. But chances are you'll only be able to choose a few quotes from that information collected directly from the source.Which ones should you use? Reporters often talk about using only "good" quotes for their stories, but what does this mean? Broadly speaking, when someone says something interesting, and says it in an interesting way, that can make a good quote.8. What is a journalist advised to do during an interview?A. Be gentle with the source.B. Carry on a long conversation.C. Make the conversation interesting.D. Prevent the conversation being off-topic.9. What do the underlined words "let slip" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. give awayB. leave outC. get rid ofD. take up10. What is considered as a good quote for a reporter?A. A direct quote.B. An important point of view.C. A piece of basic information.D. Something funny a source says interestingly.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The job of a journalist.B. The process of interviewing.C Some facts about interviewing. D. The relationship between a journalist and a source.DA wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholmfound that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation, had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity(长寿) than her own class.“Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a result, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles-for example, in terms of food choices-than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholm.The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women holding university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 percent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drives carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Eriksonand Torssander also suggest that better-educated women may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.12. In this passage the author intends to ________.A. present the results of a studyB. encourage women to get higher educationC. analyze the relationship between education and lifeD. discuss why women usually live longer than men13. A woman with higher education is likely to ________.A. teach her children wellB. earn more money than her husbandC. marry a man without many bad habitsD. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers14. A wife’s education has more effect on a family than a husband’s because ________.A. women make more sacrifices to their families than men doB. most women have higher degrees than their husbandsC. most men marry women with higher degreesD. women have a leading role in the home life of most families15. We learn from the passage that ________.A. a man with a lot of education lives longer than one with littleB. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their familiesC. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated menD. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his own第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

My trainer said she would give you a free class.W: I would love to. Just remind me to go to my dentist appointment in the afternoon.Text 3M: How long did it take you to finish your science project? I have been thinking about it all weekend, and I can’t come up with anything worth making! I don’t know what to do.W: Don’t worry, Billy. It took me a couple of months to get my science project worked out when I was your age. It’ll come to you. Why don’t you try going to the museum?Text 4W: It’s so quiet up here. And look at all those stars!M: I know. This is why I like coming up here. It’s nice to get out of the city once in a while, and I must admit that I love sleeping outdoors like this.Text 5M: You have one more month here before you get transferred to the Chicago office.W: Don’t worry. I fully intend to use this time to clean up the office and organize all the files before I leave.Text 6W: Michael, your little brother was very rude to me last week. I was really surprised.M: I’m sorry, Janice. He will be sixteen in three weeks, and he has changed a lot since he started high school.W: I have two younger brothers myself, and they are not the easiest people to get along with, so I guess I can understand.M: In all honesty, I know I was a pain in the neck when I was his age, too.Text 7M: Did you find your passport yet? The trip is in two days!W: No, not yet, but I know it is somewhere around here!M: Honey, y ou’d better find it! These tickets to France were not cheap.W: I will, I will.

The bodies of their cameras are designed to be extra strong.The camera can handle being dropped, and I can use it underwater up to 60 meters deep.W: And it’s so small and lightweight. How much did it cost?M: Well, I could have gotten the older model for $200. But I bought the latest version for $300, because it’s lighter and has better picture quality. I also spent an extra $50 for an extra battery pack.W: Well, let’s go so you can use it!Text 9M: I am going to need those files edited and completed by Monday, Sarah.

That needs to be a huge success if we expect anything from our summer line to be ready anytime soon.W: I’ll call the models this w eekend and remind them of the fitting next week. Hopefully, they can be helpful for the donations for the event.M: I would like to think so. Isn’t that what this business is all about — making people look good and being surrounded by the people that look the best?W: I guess so, sir. I’d like to think that our market is more than just good-looking people, though.M: What the media wants, Sarah, the media gets.Text 10Nothing in this world can be achieved without effort. Mozart wasn’t born a composer. He practiced the piano from the age of three and began composing by the age of five. His father, who was also his teacher, was very strict with the boy.Jimi Hendrix used to walk around his house with a guitar and play up to eight hours a day. As a child, Jimi used to listen to his father’s blues records alone with a broom, pretending to play it like a guitar. Neither of them had their gift just given to them at birth. They had to work hard and discover that they had a gift. And they didn’t just make do with what they had after that. They kept at it. Hendrix didn’t even know how to read music, so everything he learned, he learned through listening.Another example is Albert Einstein, the father of modern physics. He was told that he would never be a success at anything. No one wanted to hire him after he graduated from college. But he believed in himself, and he persevered with his studies on his own.Now, I’m not trying to say that everyone can be a Mozart or an Einstein if they just put in a lot of time doing something. But, with effort and passion, one can achieve a great deal. Without those things, you’re not going to achieve much. Luck comes to those w ho prepare for it. If you do something you love, don’t let little bumps along the road stop you.。
