黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学2020-2021学年高二下学期四月学业阶段性评价考试英语试题 含答案
哈九中2020-2021学年度下学期4月考高—英语试卷2021. 4.第I卷（选择题，共80分）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AThe best drones （无人机）you can buy right nowDJI Mavic Air 2 （$800）DJI Mavic Air 2 offers clear improvements over previous products. It can shoot 4K videos at 60 fps, along with still photos of up to 48 megapicels （白万像素），while the drone's flight time has been increased to 34 minutes （up from 21）. The drone itself starts at $800, but adding the Fly More Combo pack on to your shopping list gives you three batteries and some additional items for another $200.Mavic Mini （$400）Mavic Mini's advantages are its size and weight, the latter of which comes in at just under the 250-gram mark. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't shoot 4K like DJI's higher-end drones, but you'11 still get some impressive 2.7K videos and 12-megapixel still images.Ryze Tello （$110）There may be a handful of clear favorites when it comes to higher-end drones, but things get quite a bit more confusing if you' re just looking for a cheap flyer to try your hand with. While there's no mistaking this for a pro-level piece of equipment, Ryze Tello benefits from a partnership with DJI that gives it some reliable capabilities for the price. DJI Inspire 2 （$3,300）What can professional movie makers get in DJI Inspire 2? A lightweight body, a flight time of 27 minutes, and an amazing 5.2K video quality. Besides, it has retractable （可收回的）landing equipment, and you can turn the camera 360 degrees without anything blocking the view. To fully use DJI Inspire 2, one pilot is needed to pilot the drone and the other to control its camera.1. What has DJI Mavic Air 2 been improved?A. Its weight and flying range.B. Its camera and flying time.C. Its battery and top speed.D. Its size and flight ability.2. Which of the following drones is the best choice for a beginner?A. DJI Mavic Air2.B. DJI Inspire 2.C. Mavic Mini.D. Ryze Tello.3. What is one typical feature of DJI Inspire 2?A. Its camera is able to shoot 4K videos at 60 fps.B. It can fly for an hour on a single battery charge.C. It can be operated by two people at the same time.D. Its landing equipment is made of special materials.4. In which section of a newspaper would the text most likely appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Technology.BWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip, even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home, I hit the brakes, and we began to roll, slowly, behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again. We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a ba rn full of dairy cattle.At five miles per hour, you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place, even when you are moving from place to place.I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home, and also a writer and a gardener. But, for me, those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life: I want to cultivate a place and share it with others.The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in 1880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land, and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers, keep a baker's dozen of egg-laying chickens, and, since we moved in three years ago, we have planted many, many trees.Living with my life's purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here, feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget, and we spend it on trees.But I learned something at the end of our family road trip. Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place. When 1 slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there, travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places.5. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A .The tiredness of her past family life.B. Her disappointment at the family road trip.C. The family's eagerness to return home.D. Kids' excitement at driving fast on the road.6. Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A. Because she made way for a horse-drawn carriage.B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road.C. Because she needed a break after the long drive.D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life.7. The underlined word “placemaker'' in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who.A. devotes most of his energy and time to building his houseB. is ready to help anyone in need in the communityC. makes a creative design for others' housesD. is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others8. What can be the best title of the passage?A. On the Way HomeB. Never Travel againC. Escape from a Family LifeD. Life on the FarmCUnder the bright white lights of a central exhibition space in London, a few people are sorting themselves into groups. An instructor tells those who feel extremely worried about climate change to go to the far end of the room. Those that areless worried should stay closer to her. Moments later, she is almost alone. Thirty feet away, strangers awkwardly crowd together, signaling that they suffer eco-anxiety.This workshop, organized by Kings College London, is one of several events organized in London to help people work through the feelings of anxiety, depression and grief that arise from confronting （面对）the fact. According to the UN, we now have less than eleven years to prevent catastrophic climate change.The American Psychological Association first defined the eco-anxiety as “a chronic（长期的）fear of environmental doom （厄运）As climate protests and a series of natural disasters put climate on the news agenda, eco-anxiety has exploded across the world. Mental health studies reveal a surge in people reporting stress or depression about the climate.Eco-anxiety is not the same as the clinical disorder, though physicians say fears about the climate can worsen or trigger （激发）pre-existing mental health problems. "In fact, in most cases, eco-anxiety is no more than a healthy response to climate crisis, says psychotherapist Caroline Hickman, a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.When it comes to treatment, experts say taking action — either by changing your lifestyle to reduce emissions or taking part in activities —can reduce the level of anxiety. But before getting started, you need to talk about your feelings ,“Hickman says, stressing that we need to accept our vulnerability （脆弱）.9. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Most people have no idea of what eco-anxiety is.B. Many people suffer from the feeling of eco-anxiety.C. People have many reasons to worry about climate change.D. Many people want to hide their worries about climate change.10. What does the word “surge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. steady decreaseB. slow growthC. rapid declineD. dramatic increase11. What does Caroline Hickman think of eco-anxiety?A. It can give rise to new mental problems.B. It can hardly be cured in a short time.C. It can be regarded as a normal feeling.D. It can solve climate crisis faster.12. What does Caroline Hickman advise people to do to deal with eco-anxiety?A. To discuss it with experts.B. To turn to doctors for help.C. To admit we have such feelings.D. To share our feelings with friends.DThe gender gap in maths-related subjects is obvious. In almost all countries, far fewer women than men choose STEM （理工科）careers.It's not that girls and women arc bad at maths. In the UK in 2020, for example, 39% of 18-year-old girls who studied maths at A-level achieved an A or A+, compared to 42% of boys. For A-level physics, 29% of girls achieved the top two grades, compared to 28% of boys. But in both subjects, boys heavily outnumbered girls by more than 3:1 in the case of physics. So why are so many girls turning their backs on these subjects?A study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that the answer may in fact lie in male-female differences in academic ability, but the ability in question is reading, not maths. Thomas Breda, at Paris School of Economics, and Clotilde Napp, at Paris Dauphine University, wondered whether this male-female difference in reading could help explain the gender gap in STEM careers. Every three years, hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds in more than 60 countries takepart in the PISA study （国际学生评估测试）.Students complete tests in maths, reading and science, and answer questions about their future career intentions. When Breda and Napp looked at the data from PISA 2012, they realized they were onto something.“There were small gender gaps in maths performa nce at 15 years old, but these gaps were too small to explain the huge gender segregation in STEM," says Breda. But for reading, the tables were turned; the girls were much better than the boys. As a result, when a boy and a girl had similar scores in maths, the girl usually had an even better score in reading.When Breda and Napp compared each student's scores in reading and maths, they found the greater a student's advantage in reading, the less likely they were to plan a career in maths, even when their maths score was also high. Notably, this was true for both boys and girls.“It makes a lot of sense,“ says Sarah Cattan, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. "It shows that what matters most when boys and girls choose their field of study is not how good they are in maths or in reading, but how good they are in maths relative to reading.”13.What do the data in Paragraph 2 show?A. The average gender difference in maths performance is small.B. Those who are good at maths are also good at physics.C. Physics tends to be easier for girls than maths.D. Girls are not better than boys at maths.14.According to Breda and Napp, who is most likely to plan a career in maths?A. Tom whose maths is worse than reading.B. Lisa whose maths is better than reading.C. Lily whose reading is better than maths.D. Jack whose reading is as good as maths.15. According to Sarah Cattan, what do students value much when making further study choices?A. Their comparative strength instead of absolute ability.B. Their gender advantages in a specific academic field.C. Their future job landing possibility in an industry.D. Their particular interest in a certain subject.16. What is the best title for the text?A. Why are we drawn to STEM careers?B. Are boys worse at reading and writing?C. Why are girls bad at maths-related subjects?D. Are good readers more likely to give up maths?EPm a professor of rhetoric and literature. Whether it is global literature or historic literature, or pictographs （象形文字），I teach all of them. Literature is the chronicle （编年史）of the human condition over time. It shows exactly how people advance with technology and awareness of social issues. It can cultivate people with the good character and affect their lives.Why do we find pictograms or cave paintings filled with animals that lived in the area? They are the communication of location information during the nomadic eras. That is fairly nice of one group of people to tell the next tribe what to cat. Why do we have cave paintings of Nessie or other horrible monsters? Pick any piece of the cave paintings from across the globe and ask whether it is designed to share with others and warn others, and you'll know it shows the prowess of thehunters or their honor to others. All of these appear in different ways during different times; they are all the foundational elements, including some big events.And humans naturally move toward discovery. We look to space or observe animals and plants to better understand ourselves and the world we are living in. We write down what we have discovered, which becomes part of literature. On the Origin of Species is foundational, biological literature but it's also literature. We find ourselves by reading classic literary works and literature can offer heartbreak or hope or both or give us a window into all of life.Functionally, think of those famous and able generals, who were written into the global history because they had not only read but also understood The Art of War to the point of being able to apply it with ease. Anyhow, literature benefits us. If you are able to read it and understand it, it becomes a part of you. And you are likely to apply those emotions and intelligence in daily life without realizing it.17. Which is excluded from the category of literature according to the author?A. Music records.B. Cave paintings.C. The Historical Records.D. On the Origin of Species.18. What is one of the purposes of ancient people using these pictograms?A. To show what food they had eaten.B. To point out what nomadic eras are.C. To indicate where the animals were.D. To tell hunters how to hunt animals.19. What does the underlined word "prowess" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Tool or weapon.B. Harvest or capture.C. Skill or technology.D. Bravery or fearlessness.20. What does the author try to show through the example of those generals?A. Literature affects our emotions.B. Generals like reading literature.C. Literature helps people become successful.D. Literature has something to do with wars.第二节（共5小题：每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHere are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community dur ing the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to present itself with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts, dances and operas nearby.San FranciscoSan Franci sco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA．The city was the main entry-point for the Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to getthe full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.Port LouisFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.1．Which of the following has the longest history?A．London’s Chinatown.B．San Francisco’s Chinatown.C．Port Louis’ Chinatown.D．Bangkok’s Chinatown.2．What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A．It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B．It is the major entrance for the Chinese.C．It is well-known for its gold business.D．You can enjoy fireworks there.3．If you want to enjoy the dragon dances, you can go to ________.A．Rue Royale in Port Louis B．Sunday Market in BangkokC．Grant Avenue in San Francisco D．the Chinese community in LondonBIf you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit —right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt’s biodegrading (生物降解) term is similar to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for a longer time, w e can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by itslifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.It’s not a cheap habi t either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping (乱倒垃圾) you will face a ￡20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you dispose of something dangerous, the court will give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules. 4．What does the underlined word “discarded” in Para. 1 mean?A．Harmless. B．Processed.C．Thrown. D．Long-lasting.5．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Tin cans. B．Glass bottles.C．Cigarette butts. D．Banana peels.6．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Fly-tipping will only cost people some money.B．It’s not so hard to make sure people obey the rules.C．A large number of people were found guilty of illegally littering.D．Every year UK taxpayers spend huge amounts of money to keep the streets from dirt. 7．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To call for people not to litter illegally.B．To stress the importance of good behavior.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.CPhysical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now canhelp teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.High sch ool isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s study and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.Not doing sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.8．According to paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?A．Making teens attach importance to exercise later.B．Removing the stress faced by teens at school.C．Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.D．Helping teens learn to make good plans.9．What does the underlined word “hindered” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Measured. B．Prevented.C．Shown. D．Caused.10．According to the PCFSN, doing sports ________.A．means making students choose between sports and studiesB．helps students make good use of all their timeC．means students adjust to their studies betterD．helps students do better in their studies11．What is the text mainly about?A．Why high school students should receive physical education.B．Why some schools consider physical education important.C．How schools can help students love doing sports.D．How high school students can live a better life.DIf ther e is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives,like genetic (基因的) engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically fr om Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happened.What is read on the p rinted page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.12．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news.C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in.13．From the passage,we can infer ________.A．newspapers will win the competition among different mediaB．newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC．television will take the place of newspapersD．the writer believes some media will die out14．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “________”.A．depend on B．compete withC．fight with D．kill off15．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of MediaC．Make Your Own NewspapersD．The Future of Newspapers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。

"Nothing is art," he concluded,"if it does not come from nature." On his graduation ceremony,his director said the words that became famous later："I do not know if we have awarded this degree to a madman or to a genius；only time will tell."Time has obviously given the answer.In fact,Gaudí's work over the years has permanently influenced Barcelona architecture like none other before or after.The city is considered the best outdoor modernist Museum of Europe mostly because of Gaudí.On the 10th of June 1926，Gaudí was knocked down by a tram（有轨电车）while he was doing his usual evening walk.He lost consciousness,and nobody recognized that this disheveled（蓬乱的）old man was the famous architect until he was taken to the hospital.He was buried two days later in the unfinished Sagrada Familia,following a funeral attended by thousands of people：most of the citizens of Barcelona came out to bid a final-farewell to the most universal architect that the city had ever known.14.What is the first paragraph mainly about？______A. A 12-pointed star was set on a Gaudí's church.B. Barcelona is well known for Gaudí's architecture.C. Gaudí's famous church will be finished at last.D. The 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death will come.15.Why did the construction of the church last over a century？______A. It was to memorize Gaudí.B. It suffered frequent delays.C. It was a World Heritage Site.D. It didn't get its building permit.16.What did Gaudí's director really want to say on his graduation ceremony？______A. His style was too special in his time.B. He was not qualified for the degree.C. His attitude to others was crazy.D. He was too talented to be taught.17.Which of the following is the best title for the text？______A. Sagrada Familia-Gaudí's Unfinished WorkB. Barcelona-a City of Antoni GaudíC. Antoni Gaudí-a Genius ArchitectD. Gaudí's Architecture-the Beauty of NatureMAnyone who's met a cat knows that cats are extremely difficult to keep track of.Once one of my cats disappeared somewhere in the house,hiding while I fruitlessly tore the place apart with the fear that it might have got outside.After some period of time,he just...reappeared.We'll never beat a cat in a hide-and-seek game,because cats have such sensitive ears that enable them to track their owners' whereabouts（所在之处）.That has been proved by a new study led by Saho Takagi,a doctoral student at Kyoto University.They did an experiment at a cat cafe with home setting to observe how cats reacted to their owners' voices- without visual signals -when hearing their owners saying their names from speakers（扬声器）.The researchers placed the speakers apart from each other,out of the cats' sight,to see how the cats would respond to the sounds,especially if the owner's voice appeared to "transport" from one location to another.The cats' behaviors,especially their ear and head movements,would be carefully observed.The researchers found that the cats were very surprised when their owners seemed to transport from one corner of the cafe to another.The results showed that cats have clear understanding of the relationship between space and sound,meaning they can mentally picture where others are through sound signals："It is generally believed that cats are not as interested in their owners as dogs are,but it turns out that they just react differently.When hearing their owners' voice,they are mentally picturing the invisible presence of their owners.This is an ability that is the basis of creativity and imagination," Takagi said. "Cats have an unbelievable mind.""Cats seem to spend most of their time sleeping,but they may be thinking about many things,not just sleeping," Takagi added.Our furry friends hear more- and think more - than we give them credit for.But whether they choose to listen to you or not is a different story.18.Why did the writer fail to find his hidden cat？______A. It was not in the house actually.B. He didn't search carefully enough.C. The cat has extraordinary hearing.D. The house is too big for the cat.19.What did the research led by Saho Takagi prove？______A. Cats can recognize their owners' voices.B. Cats can know where others are through sound.C. Cats have better hearing than other animals.D. Cats are good at creativity and imagination.20.What may a cat usually react when it hears its owner in daily life？______A. It hides away immediately.B. It becomes very sleepy.C. It rushes to its owner.D. It looks uninterested.21.What does the underlined phrase probably mean？______A. Recognize their abilities.B. Teach them skills.C. Dislike their attitudes.D. Offer them rewards.NCoffee is one of the world's favorite drinks.Globally,600 billion cups are drunk each year-profits from global coffee production will top ＄400 billion in 2021.However,the coffee bean itself is under threat from climate change.Now a Finnish research group has grown beans in the lab to offer the world a sustainable espresso（浓缩咖啡）.Plant cells were adapted to produce coffee cell cultures（培养物）and then grown at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.Bio-technologists,chemists,and food scientists worked together to select the right cell lines and developed a roasting process.Afterwards,a group of specialists created the taste and smell pattern.The result is a drink that smells and tastes almost the same as the traditionally grown coffee. "It's not perfect," admitted lead researcher Heiko Lash, "because good coffee-making is an art,but this could be the start of something beautiful." Scientists say the issues with coffee as a commercial crop are widely known.The worst of them arethe loss of trees （especially in major exporting countries like Brazil），water pollution andbio-diversity b-grown coffee could actually do the planet a huge favor.Growing coffee cultures takes a lot of energy,but transportation can be reduced to the lowest level if production takes place locally.Besides,chemicals are not needed at all,and any water used in the process can be recycled."We have now proved that lab-grown coffee can be a reality," said VTT's Paige Rischer. "The true effect of this scientific work will happen through companies who are willing to re-think about food production.Finally,all efforts would result in more sustainable and healthy food for the benefit of the consumer and the planet."The Sustainable Coffee Challenge（SCC）thinks coffee consumption could triple（三倍）by 2050，so society will need to produce the drink in much more efficient ways.Solving some of its most painful problems is a priority,but with science on our side,at least we have better alternatives.22.What can we know about the VTT research on their coffee？______A. It is grown in a traditional way.B. It is the result of a new art.C. It develops without cell lines.D. It tastes similar to common coffee.23.How can VTT's way of growing coffee benefit our planet？______A. Coffee beans will be recycled.B. Water pollution will be reduced.C. Little energy will be needed.D. Chemicals will be better used.24.What did Paige Rischer expect？______A. A scientific way to grow coffee.B. Consumers' changed attitudes.C. People's environmental awareness.D. The food companies' participation.25.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage？______A. Drinking coffee is becoming a global trend.B. Coffee bean production is under threat.C. Lab-grown coffee has become a reality.D. Problems of coffee growing will be solved.Have you ever had such an experience？When chatting on WeChat,you sent someone a voice message and you thought your voice was clear and moving,but when you heard your own recorded voice,you couldn't help wondering：Is this really my voice？Why is it so ugly! (1) .The discomfort is probably due to a mix of physiology and psychology.When you are listening to a recording of your voice,the sound travels through the air and into your ears-that's called "air conduction." (2) .These bones then transmit the sound vibrations（振动）to the cochlea（耳蜗）and finally the auditory signal will be sent to the brain.(3) .While some of the sound is transmitted through air conduction,much is conducted directly through your head bones.That's a combination of both external（outside your head）and internal （inside your head）conduction. (4) .When you find your recorded voice thinner andhigher-pitched,you are embarrassed.Another reason why hearing a recording of your voice can be so discomforting is the "mismatch" between your self-expectation and the reality.In fact,for most of the time,we hear our own voice only when we speak,and we usually feel good.The rare chances of hearing a recorded voice of ours,to some degree,hurt our ego（自尊心）. (5) .A.But it's not your fault.B.That's what makes us ashamed.C.The ear works as a fantastic sound receiver.D.This makes you feel your voice deeper and richer.E.The same sound causes different feelings in different ears.F.Then,the sound hits and shakes your ear drums and small ear bones.G.When you are listening to yourself speaking,the sound is transmitted in a different way.26.

Not only does ocean offer us sufficient food, but also it maintains the balance of nature.Unfortunately, our oceans are under threat from a variety of sources, including overfishing, pollution, and climate change. Therefore, it's more important than ever to take action.First, by supporting initiatives like reducing plastic pollution and combating climate change, we can help to ensure that our oceans remain a source of wonder and sustenance for all life on Earth. What's more, we can also hand out leaflets to call on more people to protect the ocean. The more people are involved, the better the ocean environment is.All in all, to protect ocean is to protect ourselves.读后续写A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. As my car neared it my thoughts drifted back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider’s web. I rushed back to the deserted house. It was a great comfort that the original hole in the window was nowhere to be found. Leaving the house, I couldn’t help wondering how it was getting on now. Had it managed to find its way back home, or was it still out there somewhere struggling to survive?I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. A flash of movement caught my attention. I turned around to see the same hummingbird hovering in the air. It seemed that the bird was waiting for me, its beady eyes locked on mine as if trying to convey some deep, unspoken gratitude. I felt a surge of relief and awe at the sight of this sound and grateful creature, and I knew that I would always cherish the memories we shared as I climbed into my car and drove away.。

江苏省南京市第十三中学2021-2022学年高二下学期四月月考英语试卷
江苏省南京市第十三中学2021-2022学年高二下学期四月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Here’s a selection of the strangest races in the world.Surf Dog CompetitionHundreds of participants (参赛者) from all over the US come to fight for the first prize. This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September. The attendance to the event is free of charge, however, donations are welcome.Bring Your Own Big Wheel RaceIf you think wheel toys are designed for kids only, you’re wrong. The race was initiated by John Brumit in 2000 when he rode down Lombard Street on his plastic wheel toy. That day, he was the only participant in the race. He continued his tradition every year, but few joined him. In 2006, someone posted a video of his race and as a result, the next year’s race featured hundreds of participants though there was no prize money. Since then, the annual race has been held on Easter Sunday in San Francisco.World’s Ugliest Dog ContestIt’s an annual event held in June in Petaluma, California. But it’s not about making fun of the ugly dogs, but about encouraging them and showing the world that such dogs can also be happy and adorable. The competition has been held since the 1970s. The winner gets a check for $1,000.Fur RondyLike the famous Spanish Bullfighting Festival, Alaska has its own tradition. It’s a bit transformed. Speedy reindeer (驯鹿) run after the participants in the race. This event is held every February in Anchorage, Alaska. Participants pay a small fee to attend it; some of them wear funny dresses, which children enjoy very much.1．What made Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race popular quickly?A．Brumit’s strange race device.B．A video of Brumit in the race.C．The prize money of the race.D．The joy brought by the race.2．Of the following races, which is held in two places?A．Surf Dog Competition.B．Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race.C．Fur Rondy.D．World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.3．What do the listed competitions have in common?A．They are free of charge.B．They have ancient traditions.C．They are held annually.D．They are favored by children.In 2010, Barack Obama was to pay a visit to Mumbai’s Gandhi Museum, where palm(棕榈)trees full of me dotted the grounds. The president knew me well-coconuts (椰子)are a part of life in Indonesia, where he spent his boyhood. Before his visit, Indian authorities, however, removed every last sign of me around the museum. They were afraid the president of the United States would be taken out by one of me falling on his head.Let’s get this out of the way: My reputation as the “killer fruit” of countless innocents was then and still is a misbelief. A repeatedly misinterpreted 1984 study overstated the number of deaths I caused by hitting people on the head, and the word spread. Today, the only things about me “to die for” are the sometimes too-delicious foods you humans make with me, such as cookies and pies. A decade ago, health experts briefly gave me a halo because some of my fats may raise beneficial cholesterol (胆固醇). But ask a heart doctor today and they’ll tell you that coconut oil will raise your bad cholesterol as much. Death by coconut, indeed!People have other wrong ideas about me. But allow me to leave you with a sweet presidential tale. A World War II boat commanded by one John F.Kennedy was destroyed in 1943 by a Japanese warship. Kennedy and his surviving crew were stuck on an island. They were suffering from hunger, thirst and injuries when they met two friendly native coast-watchers. Kennedy scratched a message into a coconut shell: “NAURO MANDER...11 ALIVE...NEED SMALL BOA T...KENNEDY.”The coast-watchers delivered this successfully and all the crew were saved. Years later, the coconut shell was given to the newly elected president. It sat on his office desk throughout his presidency and now is a center-piece of the John F.Kennedy Library in Boston-as the proof that we coconuts don’t take lives, we save them.4．Why did Indian officials get rid of “me”?A．To reduce Obama’s fear.B．To avoid unexpected injuries.C．To show their welcome tradition.D．To follow the request from the US. 5．Which of the following can replace the underlined words in paragraph 2?A．thought little of me B．did great damage to meC．made me well-known D．brought me a good name6．How does the author sound in the passage?A．Amusing.B．Anxious.C．Concerned.D．Romantic.7．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To show a new discovery.B．To correct people’s misbelief.C．To tell the history of coconuts.D．To describe a successful rescue.When it comes to becoming eco-conscious, many people choose to start with something simple: recycling. But it’s not as simple as everyone seems to believe.Indeed, the desire for some people to recycle can lead to ill-informed decisions about what can and cannot be recycled, and non-recyclable objects are accidentally put into the recycling bin. The practice is what is known as wishcycling.Wishcycling boils down to the idea that just about anything can be recycled, and that if you put it into a recycling bin, those who are responsible for it will find a way to recycle it. This is obviously not true, because, despite everything that you’ve been told by the media, not everything is recyclable.Small non-recyclable objects that are attached to recyclables are generally acceptable. For example, glue and tape attached to paper will be removed in the recycling process without any trouble. But improperly recycling broken eyeglasses, plastic shopping bags, food waste and greasy(油渍)pizza boxes could cause problems to the recycling process.The objects in the recycling bin are typically sorted by machines at recycling centers, not people. These complex machines are designed to separate plastics, paper, and other recyclables. If something is thrown into the bin that shouldn’t be there, it could end up damaging the machine, which means the recycling center could lose time and money every time people decide to wishcycle. Sometimes, a non-recyclable object is able to sneak(溜)past these sorting machines. If this happens, the non-recyclable object ends up in a load of recyclables that will be sold for the recycling center to make a profit. However, having just one non-recyclable thing mixed in can pollute the entire load of recyclables, which has to be thrown away.So what you as a consumer need to do is make your own recycling practice mostfunctional. The best way is to educate yourself. There are certain general rules when it comes to recycling that everyone should know.8．What do we know about wishcycling?A．It is misled by the media.B．it leads to a better ecology.C．It is related to ill intentions.D．It comes from people's hope. 9．Which of the following can be put into the recycling bin according to the passage?A．Paper with glue on it.B．Oily pizza boxes.C．Plastic shopping bags.D．Left-over food.10．What is paragraph 5 about?A．The problems from wishcycling.B．The need to update the machines.C．The reasons for making less profit.D．The objects unsuitable for recycling. 11．What might be talked about in the paragraph that follows?A．Reducing waste.B．Making rules.C．Recycling properly.D．Consuming wisely.Every summer, the calls of thousands of swamp sparrows can be heard across North America's wetlands. These little brown birds know only a few songs, but they know them very well. In fact, their musical set list probably hasn't changed much for centuries.Like humans, baby swamp sparrows learn to communicate by copying adults. From a young age, they learn to copy, or mimic, songs sung by their elders. “Swamp sparrows very rarely make mistakes when they learn their songs,” says biologist Robert Lachlan. In fact, their mimicry is so accurate that the music changes little between generations.Just like children, the sparrows don't remember every song they hear. Lachlan says. “They don't just learn songs at random; they pick up commoner songs rather than rarer songs.” In other words, they learn songs they hear most often. It's an example of a strategy that scientists call conformist bias. Until recently, this learning ability was thought to be special only to humans.Between 2008 and 2009, Lachlan's research team recorded the calls of 615 male swamp sparrows across the northeastern United States. The researchers used computer software to break each song into a collection of notes, or syllables. They then measured the differences between the tunes.The research revealed that only 2 percent of male sparrows sang a different song fromthe standard tune. The combination of accurate mimicry and conformist bias allows the birds to create traditions that last for centuries. “With those two ingredients together, you end up with traditions that are really stable,” says Lachlan. “The song-types that you hear in the marshes of North America today may well have been there 1,000 years ago.” Lachlan's study is also among the first to measure the longevity of song traditions within a bird species.The findings are really exciting, says scientist Andrew Farnsworth. He hopes that future research will evolve from these studies. For example, scientists may be able to identify how other animals are able to preserve their cultural traditions. “Seeing the potential for it in other organisms is super cool,” says Farnsworth.12．What do we know about Lachlan's research?A．The calls of 615 female swamp sparrows were recorded.B．Accurate mimicry allows the birds to create the centuries-long traditions.C．It aimed to study swamp sparrows' learning ability.D．Computer technology helped a lot during the research.13．Which of the following is an example of conformist bias?A．A new slang word becomes popular with a group of teenagers.B．A dog learns to do a trick because its owner rewards it regularly.C．A student memorizes historical events for a history exam.D．A student loves singing and joins the school chorus.14．What is Andrew Farnsworth's attitude towards the findings?A．Indifferent.B．Negative.C．Positive.D．Conservative. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．The Amazing Lifespan of Swamp Sparrows.B．The Traditional Musical Set List of Swamp Sparrows.C．The Evolution of Swamp Sparrows in North America.D．The Great Learning Ability of Swamp Sparrows.For average working people, they normally change their career five to seven times throughout their whole lives. 16 Without that, you are just a dreamer.It happens that you neglect thinking about your career when you are busy, but you must spend time considering your current situation and your ideal career path to develop a specific career plan. 17When you have a better understanding of yourself and what you want, you are more likely to take a plan that suits your goals and lifestyle. By this kind of self-reflection, you will discover the type of career you want.18 You probably need SMART goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound to prepare for success. Studies prove that SMART goals work better when they are written down and shared with others. Sharing enhances your senses of responsibility while writing down allows you to commit them to memory. Therefore, you can always have access to them because they are kept in your subconscious.Now that you have understood what you want and had your goals set and written down, it’s time to make career decisions. 19 And then think about how each path lines up with your values. Finally, evaluate how they could influence your future.So how do you feel when talking about your career? Do you want to stay where you are or are you ready to make a change to take steps to achieve success? 20A．The next step is to figure out how to get there.B．Consider your long-term and short-term objectives.C．First, list pros and cons of different decisions.D．Reflecting on yourself and your needs is also necessary.E．The best way to be prepared for a career change is to make a plan.F．After you’ve obtained an understanding of the job, next comes the evaluation part.G．Reflect, set goals, and make your decision, and you’ll be on the right path in no time.二、完形填空About six months ago, I got an unexpected package.

Additionally, to keep up with new technologies, greater 38 (emphasize)will need to be 39 (continue) training, which will get employees out of their comfort zone.Therefore, progress in the workplace will not 40 (necessary) mean being promoted to superior positions, but rather being moved sideways so that employee'individual skills can be best used to meet a company’s changing needs.Besides, more importance will be attached to “soft skills”. Currently, 41 heavy focus is put on training in “hard skills”, such as machine operating and software programming. 42 , in the future, employers will look to hire people who are ready and able to learn. As a result, employees will need to attain excellent soft skills such as communication, 43 (cooperate) and leadership.Despite that, any prejudice 44 either of the two skills will not be allowed. Whether or not we are fond of these changes, we will need to face them.We can survive and even succeed in the workplace of the future if we keep our passion for work, effectively interact with co-workers and 45 (sharp) our ability to adapt.四、书信写作46．假定你是即将毕业的高三(7)班学生李华，在学校举行的毕业典礼上你作为学生代表作题为“Embracing the Knowledge Economy Age”的演讲，内容包括：1. 知识经济的重要性；2.拥抱知识经济时代做法。

山东省实验中学2023-2024学年高二下学期4月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解A great family day out doesn’t have to be expensive.Sometimes just going for a walk can be fun,educational,and a chance to make special memories together and share some quality time.Here are a few of our family-friendly favorites.Blickling Estate,NorfolkThis four-mile multi-use path has a surface that’s great for pushchairs.If you’re out for a family walk and the kids won’t leave the house without their pushbikes,then this is perfect for them.Please bear in mind that you’ll need to book a ticket before visiting.Coughton Court family walk,WarwickshireGet your boots on and go for a gentle walk at Coughton Court.This walk will take you across a field with grass and flowers.You’ll need to book a ticket before visiting,though.Corfe Common history walkA gentle walk exploring historic Corfe Castle.The kids will love checking out the castle ruins.Don’t forget to book a ticket before visiting.Crom wildlife walkThis walk through the nature reserve at Crom,Northern Ireland is filled with wildlife.You could also come across one of the oldest yew trees in Ireland.This easy walk is great for all the family to get some fresh air.Booking a ticket before visiting is a must.Sutton Hoo,SuffolkThis is a great walk for little legs.This beautiful area is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time.Even though no tours or guides are currently offered,you can still walk around the ancient places.Tickets are required before visiting.1．What do we know about Blickling Estate?A．It is pushchair-friendly.B．It is famous for its wildlife.C．It is an adventurous place for adults.D．It is home to the oldest yew trees.2．Which walk should you choose if you want to see the castle ruins?A．Coughton Court family walk.B．Corfe Common history walk.C．Crom wildlife walk.D．Sutton Hoo walk.3．What do these five walks have in common?A．They have guides.B．They need to be booked ahead of time.C．They are unfit for seniors.D．They include exploring historic buildings.Isadora Duncan is considered by many to be the progenitor of modern dance.To Duncan,classical ballet,with its strict rules of posture and formation,was“ugly and against nature”.She refused to accept traditional ballet steps, preferring to emphasize improvisation(即兴创作),emotion,and the human form.She said,“I spent long days and nights in the studio seeking that dance which might be the expression of the human spirit through the body’s movements.”By making connections between human emotion and the movements of dance,Duncan hoped to make dance a form of high art rather than simple entertainment.She developed free and natural movements inspired by the classical Greek arts,folk dances,social dances and natural forces.She drew on a number of sports moves,including skipping,running,jumping, leaping,and tossing.The athleticism and classical roots of her style are reflected in her innovative costume choice of a Grecian tunic(束腰外衣)and bare feet,which allowed for a physical freedom that could not be achieved in the traditional ballet costumes and pointed shoes that limited dancers.With time,she gained a very wide following and set up several schools in Europe and the United States.Duncan’s fame,however,did not bring her wealth.In the later years of her life,her financial situation worsened, and finally she had to live in apartments rented by friends and supporters.Duncan also received criticism for some of her personal opinions.In spite of the problems,Duncan is remembered today for her artistic achievements:the creation of modern dance and its high place among the arts.While Duncan’s own schools no longer exist,her style of dance continues to be practiced.Her life inspired novels,ballets,and films,and her likeness was included in the sculpture created by Antoine Bourdelle over the entrance of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.4．What does the underlined word“progenitor”Paragraph1probably mean?A．Sponsor.B．Originator.C．Instructor.D．Competitor.5．What can we learn about Duncan’s costume choice?A．It allowed dancers to move naturally and freely.B．It included newly designed pointed shoes.C．It was white and extremely simple.D．It was introduced from Greece.6．What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?A．To explore the connection between art and wealth.B．To characterize Duncan as a dishonorable person.C．To prove Duncan was adored by friends and relatives.D．To show Duncan lived a hard life in her declining years.7．What is Duncan mainly famous for?A．Her inspiration for artists.B．The invention of a new-form dance.C．Her special personal views.D．The foundation of many dance schools.Users of Google Gemini,the tech giant’s artificial intelligence model,recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings,or German soldiers from1943produced surprising results:hardly any of the people were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap;instead,it fell into another one,depicting George Washington as black.Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses,which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini declined to write a job ad for a fossil fuel lobby group(游说团体),because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize“the interests of corporations over public well-being”.Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization,it replied that the conflict in Gaza is“complex”;asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was“difficult to say”.You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.Inadequate testing may be partly to blame Google lags behind OpenAI,maker of the better-known ChatGPT.As it races to catch up,Google may have taken short cuts.Other chatbots have also had controversial launches Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover their faults,which can be swiftly addressed,lets firms move faster,if they are prepared to endure the potential risks and bad publicity,observes Ethan Mollick,a professor at Wharton Business School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted to produce these responses.This raises questions about Google’s culture.Is the firm so financially secure,with vast profits from Internet advertising,that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering?Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity,but a responsibility,to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda?All eyes are now on Google’s boss.Sundar Pichai.He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?8．What was the problem of Google Gemini in the first paragraph?A．Having a racial prejudice.B．Responding to wrong texts.C．Criticizing political figures.D．Going against historical facts.9．What is Paragraph2mainly about?A．Gemini’s bias in text responses.B．Gemini’s refusal to make progress.C．Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.D．Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.10．What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?A．Creative.B．Promising.C．Illegal.D．Controversial.11．What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph:A．Its security is doubted.B．It lacks financial support.C．It needs further improvement.D．Its employees are irresponsible.As awareness of climate change grows,so does the desire to do something about it.One way to gain a quantifiable (可量化的)understanding of the impacts of our actions,for good and bad,is through what is known as a carbon footprint.While the concept is gaining traction,it is not always fully understood.According to Mike Berners-Lee,a professor at Lancaster University in the UK and author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything,a carbon footprint is“the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take place.”What steps a person can take to reduce their personal footprint depends on the kind of lifestyle they presently live, and the same actions are not equally effective for everyone.Berners-Lee notes that,“for some people,flying may be10 percent of their footprint,for some people it’s zero,and for some it’s such a huge number that it should be the only thing they should be thinking about.”It isn’t easy to calculate a carbon footprint.The earliest such calculator is thought to have appeared in2004as part of the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP,which makes observers criticize the pressure to reduce personal carbon footprints as an indication that climate change is not the fault of an oil giant,but that of individuals.“I would say personal carbon footprint calculators are a useful tool to assess the impact of your immediate actions.”Berners-Lee says.“But what’s much more important than your personal carbon footprint is your climate shadow,which aims to paint a picture of the full sum of one’s choices and the impact they have on the planet.For example,how you vote,where you work,how you invest your money,and how much you talk about climate change.”12．What does the underlined word“traction”in paragraph1probably mean?A．Control.B．Insight.C．Attention.D．Power.13．How does Berners-Lee explain his opinion according to paragraph3?A．By presenting a fact.B．By giving suggestions.C．By clarifying a concept.D．By making a comparison.14．What is the observers’attitude to the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP?A．Unclear.B．Favorable.C．Tolerant.D．Disapproving.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Tools are more important than choices.B．Climate shadow covers a broad range of actions.C．Calculating carbon footprint is the most effective.D．Only individuals are responsible for climate change.For decades,doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart.Heart attack has long been considered a grown-up problem.16Eating too much salty food when you're young can lead to health problems later.Salt is made up of two elements:sodium and chlorine伟内禾口氯）.Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged9-13shouldn't consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily.17This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood.To pump the extra blood,the heart has to work harder.This causes a rise in blood pressure一-a measurement of how stressed the heart is.High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure.18British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy（碳酸）drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.19A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones（肾结石）.This painful condition usually affects people aged over40.Now,kids as young as five are getting it.Cutting down on salt can be hard,but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food.The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually.20Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions.And go easy on the condiments（调味品）.You might also want to start reading nutrition labels.You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger,and over2,000mg in many frozen meals.A．Salt isn't the only cause of diseases.B．The average American eats twice this amount.C．Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight.D．Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity.E．But new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children.F．Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do.G．Cutting down on salt now can lower a person's risk of heart disease.二、完形填空History has not yet21what we will definitively call the post millennial cohort(2000年后出生的人)that now22more than60million people in the U.S.These kids and23with no concept of life24 the Internet have so far been called the App Generation and Generation Z.They’ve been referred to as Homelanders, having grown up under the ghost of terrorism.They’ve also been25the Plurals for their historic diversity,as well as the Founders,at least by MTV.Whatever we26naming them,marketer and academies are turning their attention to this group,which has billions in27and is already shaping the culture.This generation is growing up“totally and utterly connected”says California State University psychologist Larry Rosen.Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids’Google-inspired expectations that everything be28.They worry about their inability to29 even five seconds of boredom.And they worry about the demands that come with30several identities online, from Facebook to Twitter to Snapchat.“There’s so much pressure on young people,who are still31their identities,to present this crystallized,idealized identity online,”says the University of Washington’s Katie Davis.Historian Neil Howe sees32with the Silent Generation,the spoilt risk-avoiding“nice”generation of kids who grew up during the Great Depression and World-War II,although some marked differences are found.Today’s youths are also coming of age among geopolitical trouble and fears about the economy,he says,33schools emphasize an intense far-reaching sensitivity to other kids.He suspects this34will be known for being well behaved and perhaps boring the culture by playing it safe.“There are typical examples that occur repeatedly,”Howe says, "even if they go by different35.”21．A．remarked B．convinced C．revealed D．guaranteed22．A．numbers B．houses C．accommodates D．contains23．A．peers B．fellows C．folks D．adolescents24．A．over B．without C．besides D．beyond25．A．diagnosed B．dismissed C．labeled D．coined26．A．end up B．consider about C．appeal for D．approve of27．A．distribution force B．global view C．purchasing power D．unique outlooks 28．A．vivid B．instructive C．profitable D．instant29．A．feed up with B．put up with C．make up for D．break up with30．A．mixing B．revising C．illustrating D．maintaining 31．A．supervising B．promoting C．representing D．forming32．A．parallels B．contrasts C．comparisons D．reservations33．A．because B．as C．while D．unless34．A．generation B．emphasis C．intensity D．cultivation35．A．routes B．schemes C．names D．definitions三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.After coming to China,I experienced authentic Chinese food.In Beijing,the chef in a Sichuan restaurant offered us the36(please)of experiencing wonderful and different food besides friendship.In Xinjiang,their traditional foods are those37(cook)over an open fire.The kinds of food local people consume tell us a lot about themselves;therefore,we can say culture and cuisine go hand in hand,which are both worth38(experience).阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.For first-degree burns,first,place burns under cool running water,especially within the first ten minutes.Second, dry the burnt area39(gentle)with a clean cloth.Meanwhile,remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric40(stick)to the burnt skin.Then cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth.Don’t apply oil41the injured areas,as it will keep the heat in the42(wound)and may cause infection.阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.They flew to Vancouver and then took the train.One of the first stops was in Edmonton,43center of Canada’s huge oil and gas44(drill)industry.After another day on the train,eventually they were back in the city of Winnipeg.

Early on, she and her siblings were adopted by her grandparents, who she says support her in everything. She first realized she wanted to be a gymnast at the age of 6 when she and her classmates went on a field trip to a local gym. A coach at the gym saw her natural talent and wrote a letter to her grandparents urging them toget her involved. The sport she signed up for “for fun” soon turned into her life’s enthusiasm.Simone is energetic, so it’s no surprise that she’s got a few medals in her time. Her ten world gold medals are the most ever achieved by a woman in gymnastics history. She is also the first woman to win four medals at the same World Championships, which happened in her second year performing in 2014.In 2015 Simone became the first gymnast to win three constant all-around titles at the World Gymnastic Championships. She even amazed herself, telling the interviewer “I blew my own mind.” and posting to social media “breaking history is kind of cool.”What surprised everyone most though, was that she was performing perfectly as she usually does—her skill is so beyond everyone else that she can’t be beaten even when she trips up!（1）What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A . Simone’s early experience.B . Simone’s sports life.C . Simone’s gymn astics coach.D . Simone’s family.（2）What is Simone’s greatest achievement?A . She got four gold medals at the Olympic Games.B .

To list Simone’s gold medals in the World Cups.D . To give brief introduction to Simone’s achievements.3. 阅读理解Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher b ecause it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life. But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking question and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new materials and do yours best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues.As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in yo ur life. You’re like a sponge , able to suck up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together.Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any setting, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.（1）What does the text mainly talk about?A . The responsibilities of the teacher.B . Advantages of making the class interesting.C . The benefits of getting along well with the teacher.D . The relationship between the teacher and students.（2）What else will you learn from your teacher except knowledge?A . How to get in touch with other teachers.B . How to solve difficult problems in school.C . How to get along with classmates in your school.D . How to deal with different types of people in the future.（3）What does a good relationship with the teacher mean to you?A . You can get more help from the teacher.B . You will have more problems in learning.C . You can behave more actively in class.D . You can ask any questions optionally in class.（4）What effect does a bad relationship have on most students?A . They can learn by themselves as usual.B . They can’t get help from the teacher.C . They feel great in the classmates’ heart.D . They may feel uncomfortable in class.4. 阅读理解Soda is refreshing and delicious, but it is not part of a healthy, balanced diet. Most sodas are packed with sugar. In fact, a can of soda can be hiding up to 10 teaspoons of sugar! The sugar does make soft drinks delicious, but definitely not nutritious. Too much sugar in a person’s diet can lead to diabetes , heart disease, and tooth problems. One of the biggest sugary soda problems is that drinking much can lead to weight gain and even obesity.There are diet options available for almost every kind of pop , which means that you don’t h ave to drink all that sugar in order to enjoy a can of soda. Many studies have been done on whether or not aspartame , the sugar substitute in diet soda, is bad for you. Up to now, there are still conflicting opinions on this issue. The European Food Safety Authority recently concluded that aspartame is safe for most people, even in fairly large amounts. Aspartame still might not be good for you, though. Studies have shown that people who drink diet sodas may actually gain more weight than those who drink regular soda, perhaps because, strangely enough, drinks loaded with fake sugar may actually make you want to eat more.Maybe you’ve decided it’s time to cut down on your soda drinking, but what should you drink instead? Water is absolutely the healthiest thing that you can drink. Your body needs water to stay hydrated and function properly, and water contains no calories or fat. Drinking fruit juice occasionally is not a bad thing, but you should be careful what juice and how much juice you’re drinking. Fruit juices can contain almost as much sugar as pop!As with most things to do with your health, moderation is really at the base of any healthy diet. You can totally drink soda, even the sugary kind just, make sure you’re not drinking too much!（1）What can we know about sugar in Paragraph 2?A . Sugar is a necessary material in making Soda.B . Sugar can make Soda delicious and nutritious.C . Too much sugar may cause health problems.D . Sugar can lead to much fat or even obesity.（2）What does the author think of aspartame in diet Soda?A . He believes large amounts of aspartame is safe for people.B . He agrees that aspartame might not be good for health.C . He thinks that aspartame may do great harm to health.D . He insists that aspartame is much safer than sugar.（3）What does the author advise us to drink more?A . Tea.B . Fruit juice.C . Water.D . Pop.5. 阅读理解I’ve personally traveled through many countries that have had U.S. government warnings issued for them, and I’ve been perfectly safe. Specifically, in the last year, I have travelled safely to both the Philippines and Mexico, and traveled to many South Pacific islands during the tropical cyclone season and only experienced two days of light rain in six months! This is, of course, anecdotal, so it’s i mportant that you do your research before booking your trip.One thing I recommend doing is checking for recent posts on travel forums , such as Lonely Planet’s Thorntree, to see what people are sayingabout the country you’ll visit in terms of safety. Th e U.S. government may make out that an entire country is extremely unsafe when in reality, it’s a small part of it that tourists will be unlikely to visit. Read the travel warnings, too, to see which parts of the country the government recommends that you avoid.Additionally, it’s worth speaking to your travel insurance provider before you leave to check that you’ll be covered during your travels to these countries. Some insurance .companies won’t cover you if there’s a severe warning for the country, but some will. Travel insurance is a necessity, so it’s definitely something to check out before you leave.Keep in mind that the U.S. government will help you with emergency evacuation from a troubled country, but it comes in the form of a repatriation loan via the Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management , which can be called to rescue you from a bad situation abroad. Remember by heart that you’ll have to wait overseas for the money to arrive and eventually repay the loan once you’re home safely. Just another reason to get travel insurance!（1）What should you do before a travel according to Paragraph 1?A . Make a good route plan.B . Make a careful study of the trip.C . Ask the government for help.D . Read the travel books first.（2）What does the author advise you to check for on travel forums?A . Tourist places.B . Lonely planet.C . Travel safety.D . Weather forecast.（3）Why is it necessary to know about travel insurance companies?A . Some of them don’t cover all the countries.B . They may provide false information.C . They seldom talk with customers.D . They sometimes offer bad service.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A . ACS will repay the loan for you.B . U.S government is very generous.C . It’s easy to escape fr om a troubled country.D . Getting travel insurance is the best choice.三、任务型阅读6. 任务型阅读The world is becoming more and more connected, but many people feel lonely in the midst of it. You might not feel lonely right now, but there might be times when you do. Here are some tips on dealing with loneliness: Be positive about yourself.________If you constantly think of yourself as ugly, mean, or unattractive, then it will be difficult for you to connect with others. You must accept yourself before you can acce pt others. It’s common that you might have some negative qualities. So does everyone else. So in order to get rid of loneliness, you should focus on your positive side and think of yourself in a positive way.Have an attitude of gratitude ________It’s eas y to focus on the negatives in life, but don’t forget that there are also many positives. Remember them and be thankful. What does this have to do with loneliness? Well, if you are grateful, then you will become cheerful________See the positive side of others. Just as you should see the positive side of yourself, you should also see thepositive side of others. Everyone has shortcomings, but everyone also has a positive side.________That will make you like them and make it easier for you to connect with them.________The more you think about yourself, the more likely it is for you to have a pity party and feel lonely. For example, you might think that nobody likes you or cares about you. So it’s important that you shift your attention away from yourself. It can be as simple as smiling at your neighbors or holding a door for a stranger.A. Join a community group.B. Do something for others.C. Negative thoughts can kill you.D. Instead, try to make more friends.E. And that will attract people to you.F. Count your blessings and be grateful for them.G. So choose to value the positive aspects of them.四、单词拼写7. Everybody is required to p________ in the spring outing.8. Would he get a________ if I told him about it?9. The players had to change their daily r________ and lifestyle.10. A________ my family has a get-together in a state park in the mountains of North Carolina.11. I hardly slept at all and felt pretty a________.五、短文改错12. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
