甘肃省兰州第一中学2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷(含答案)

甘肃省兰州第一中学2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the famous ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American women to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exit today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Standford La w School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona State Senator(参议员) and in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court(高等法院). O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison, b ut it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. (抵制行动) It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movements.“the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” said Parks.1、What is Jane Addams famous for in history?A.Her social workB.Her teaching skillsC.Her efforts to win a prizeD.Her background2、What was the reason for O’Connor’s being refused by the law firm?A.Her lack of the training in law.B.Her little work experience in courtC.An unfair treatment to the womenD.the poor financial conditions3、Who made a great contribution to the civil rights movement in the US?A.Jane AddamsB.Rachel CarsonC.Sandra Day O'ConnorD.Rosa ParksPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered(驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1,1914.4、In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A.were the biggest bird in the worldB.lived mainly in the south of AmericaC.did great harm to the natural environmentD.were the largest population in the US5、The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.A.escapeB.ruinC.liberationD.evolution6、What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A.To seek pleasure.B.To save other birds.C.To make money.D.To protect crops.7、What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A.It was ignored by the public.B.It was declared too late.C.It was unfair.D.It was strict.Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education a nd the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.8、In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?A. Building confidence.B. Developing spatial skills.C. Learning self-control.D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.9、What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？A. Parents’ age.B. Children’s imagination.C. Parents’ education.D. Child-parent relationship.10、How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play?A. They play with puzzles more often.B. They tend to talk less during the game.C. They prefer to use more spatial language.D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.11、What is the text mainly about?A. A mathematical method.B. A scientific study.C. A woman psychologist.D. A teaching program.When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note –“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we p ut the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12、Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _____.A.to show his magical powerB.to pay for the deliveryC.to satisfy his curiosityD.to please his mother13、What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A.He wanted to have tea there.B.He was a respectable person.C.He was treated as a family member.D.He was fully trusted by the family.14、Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B.It has been driven out of the market.C.Its service is getting poor.D.It is forbidden by law.15、Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A.He missed the good old days.B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.C.He needed it for his milk bottles.D.He planted flowers in it.二、七选五16、Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time. ①_____ Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? ②_____2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? ③_____ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3.④_____This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. ⑤_____ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.Try new things.B.Ability is easily improved.C.Make three or four instead.D.Understand your food better.E.Cooking is a burden for many people.F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.三、完形填空（15空）Many Chinese people used to 1 each other with “Have you had your meal?” to show their friendliness. Recently, a new greeting has become 2 in many Chinese cities, namely“Have you 3 weight?”Chen Xin, a manager of a media company in Lanzhou, has 4 his friends after successfully getting 5 . “Following instructions from my nutrit ionist, I went on a 6 and lost 10kg,” Chen said with a 7 smile.In recent years, food-delivery services have been growing fast and entering every corner of Chinese cities.

12.Ensuring every chilห้องสมุดไป่ตู้ equal rights to education is _____the key to the elimination of inequality across the world lies.
A.thatB.whatC.whetherD.where
【答案】D
【答案】infectious##nfectious
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：笑是最具感染力的表达方式之一。根据句意和首字母提示可知，此处填形容词infectious“感染的”，放在expressions前作定语，故填infectious。
3.S________nothing, he walked right into the trap.（根据首字母单词拼写）
【点睛】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．题干中is being accepted 是谓语动词，前面是主语从句，第一个空用that引导，因为主语从句中不缺少成分，也不需要翻译，第二个空是be动词后面的表语从句的引导词，表示"职业"，用whatever，去掉逗号中间插入的部分可知，is前的主语从句"girls can be whatever they would like to be"从意思到成分都是完整的，故选择在名词性从句中不担任成分，无意义的that，

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was in seat 10F next to the emergency exit. A few minutes after take-off there was a loud explosion. Everybody gasped（倒抽气）and there were a few screams. Then, surprisingly, it went very quiet–everyone was assessing the situation.It soon became obvious we weren't going back to LaGuardia Airport and that we were heading for the water. I started thinking this was it. Then I heard the announcement, 'This is the captain, brace for impact,' and everything suddenly got clear. I had to stop thinking about death, and instead, about what I should do once the pilot landed in the water. 'You sat in this seat,' I thought, ‘you’ve got to get this door open.'At about 300 feet (91.5 meters), I started reading the instructions. There were six steps, and I had just read them two or three times when we hit the water. It felt like the worst car crash you could imagine. Fortunately, I'd just read the instructions and managed to get the door open. The wing was sinking lower and lower. I walked out onto it and walked as far along as I could to make room for other people. It was freezing, and nobody had a jacket. Some people were underwater to their waists.It felt like half an hour before we saw the first ferry, though it could have been only five or ten minutes. I wasfourth onto the ferry, and I started helping people onto the boat. To our relief, everyone had survived the crash.I got through the whole incident by taking it one step at a time: get the door open, throw the door out, figure out if you're sinking. I just kept on doing that until I reached solid ground. Only then did I go into the men's room and cry for a few minutes.56. After hearing a loud explosion, what did passengers, including the writer, do?A. They put on life jackets as instructed.B. They tried to figure what had happened.C. They couldn't help shouting for help on end.D. They asked the pilot to fly to LaGuardia Airport.57. What did the writer think helped him open the emergency exit successfully?A. He sat by the emergency exit.B. He had an experienced neighbor.C. He was once taught how to open it.D. He read and understood the instructions.58. Which of the following words best describes the writer?A. Humorous.B. Aggressive.C. Organized.D. Expressive.59. Which of the following statements is true of the air crash?A. No one got killed in it.B. It happened at the end of the trip.C. The pilot managed to land the plane safely.D. A ferry came to the rescue the moment it happened.(B)City VarietiesThe Headrow. Leeds.

The Secret Dairy of Adrian MoleB. Groping for WordsC. Only a Night at the VarietiesD. On Golden Pond(C)Mars is no stranger to life. Seven U. S. spacecraft have successfully landed there, and all of them took microbes to the planet's surface(though the bugs probably did not survive for long). Yet the world's space agencies continue to maintain strict spacecraft sterilization（消毒）procedures in the hope of minimizing the spread of Earth life beyond our planet. For decades this idea —known as planetary protection—is widespread. Now, some scientists say, these procedures are preventing the search for life beyond Earth by raising costs and preventing innovativemissions-without meaningful benefits.Of all missions to Mars to date, only the Vikings, the first trip to the Red Planet, were intended to test for life. Spacecraft that went later did not have that ability. But a future mission will, and the protectionist thinking goes, a spacecraft might not be able to distinguish between a life form native to Mars and one with origins on Earth. In July 2013 astrobiologists Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Alberto Fairen argued against this in Nature Geoscience."If Earth life can thrive on Mars, they almost certainly already do," the authors write. "If they cannot, the transfer of Earth life to Mars should be of no concern, as it would simply not survive."With clear evidence of a water y history and some signs of water present, Mars could be where we find life in our solar system. And with the development of Curiosity's precise landing system, we can finally reach the mysterious parts of the planet. But it's these areas that require a craft sterilization process.In the 1970s Vikings 1 and 2 revealed what seemed like a dead planet, so planetary-protection requirements were relaxed. Now, with more knowledge of Mars' environment, missions set to visit areas with evidence of flowing water below the surface have to meet the strict-and more costly- Vikings standards.Finally, there's the philosophical problem of what responsibility, if any, we have to other planets and any life we leave there. The truth is we're never going to be able to fully protect Mars if we intend to explore it. And spreading is simply what life does."If we want to survive for a long time, we have to expand beyond Earth," Schulze-Makuch says. "There's no other way."63. Strict spacecraft sterilization procedures are meant to ______.A. decrease the costs of space explorationB. help the search for life forms beyond EarthC. contribute to innovative missions in the universeD. prevent Earth life being transferred to other planets64. Planetary-protection requirements were relaxed in the 1970s because ______.A. there was no preclse landing systemB. Mars was considered to be a lifeless planetC. the mysterious parts of Mars remained unknownD. flowing water was found below the surface of Mars65. Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Alberto Fairen are most likely to agree that ______A. Mars is now on the edge of being destroyedB. human beings are too ambitious to expand beyond EarthC. there is no need to worry about bringing Earth life to MarsD. we need to be responsible for keeping Mars what it is like now66 Schulze-Makuch takes a(n)______attitude towards planetary protection.A. optimisticB. relaxedC. debatableD. negativeSection C(8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Google is my doctorWhen illustrator Scott Adams lost his voice, his doctors were confused. ___67___ It turned out that Scott was suffering from spasmodic dysphonia-a neurological disorder affecting the musoles to voice. With the help of Google Alerts and advice from his doctors, Scott got in touch with an expert in the US and had special surgery on his throat to cure his problem. He is now a from believer of using the Internet for self-diagnosis.Adams is one of an increasing number of people who have started using the Internet to get health advice. The advantages are numerous, starting of course with the obvious convenience of getting a diagnosis from the comfort of your own home. ___68___ But the Internet can provide a vast number of specialized experts, and Googling can help you tap in to that.Diagnosing min or medical problems from information on the Internet can also have an impact on society's medical costs. You can compare insect bites with Internet pictures, ask what type they are and whether they are dangerous without wasting your busy doctor's precious time.However, it must be sand that diagnosis is tricky, and comparing your rash（疹子）with an online photo may lead you down the wrong path. ___69___ Doctors also take into account your medical history, state of mind, etc. So nocomputerized symptoms checklist can equal a complete professional assessment.In conclusion, the Internet is a good starting point in diagnosing your health problems, but you should always consult your doctor before acting on anything you find there. ___70___.IV. Summary writing(10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main Idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as fa r as possible.Will people reduce car use in 20 years?Nowadays, the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one's wealth and social position. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars, we couldn't help marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people's daily lives. Nevertheless, the increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.Above all, the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment, if such a tendency is not brought under control in time, the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future People have to face the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day, thousands of private cars are emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse effect, 'which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition, more energy is being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society, people ought to reduce the use of cars.In fact, diversified measures are 5eıng taken by the government to limit the use of cars. If such a tendency continues, the effect will be shown in the near future. For example, to reach the goal of building a safe and harmonious society, Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working days.A number of private cars are prohibited on no-driving-days.Last, the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners' way of travelling. Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses, subways, trains and airplanes. In the meanwhile, advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.V.

2023-2024学年广东省华侨中学高二下学期3月月考英语试卷

2023-2024学年广东省华侨中学高二下学期3月月考英语试卷If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document in fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Van Gogh’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?A．The Arnolfini Portrait. B．The Starry Night.C．The Harvesters. D．Guernica.2. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?A．It was painted on wood in oil.B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1940s.C．It described the painter’s life in hospital.D．It was given away to the museum by a private collector.3. Who created the painting representing the massive catastrophe the Nazism brought to people?A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh.C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.For us, one of the many cultural shocks we experienced was during our time in Bolivia. We spent five months traveling around South America but Bolivia surprised us most. Tourism and the approach to service in Bolivia are, to some extent, underdeveloped, which is not necessarily bad. However, you might get the feeling that the locals don’t like your presence. At times we didn’t feel welcome at all.Bolivians will stare at you, give angry looks, and of ten won’t even say hi when you come to their stores and restaurants. After some conversations with locals, we were told that the negative attitude had nothing to do with us. Bolivians are just not used to foreigners and don’t really know how to handle tour ists. But we can’t even blame them. After a long and hard time as a Spanish colony, people are still very suspicious of foreigners.What we loved most and surprised us is how Bolivians keep their traditions alive, which is truly amazing. we often saw locals wearing their traditional clothes and marketing their self-made medicine. These and other efforts to preserve their customs deserve respect. You just can’t see that in many countries in the world.I loved their clothes so much that l borrowed a tradition al Bolivian dress to try to overcome the “tourist vs local barrier” and show the locals on the island that we truly love their culture and appreciate it. The experience was absolutely wonderful. We walked to the sunset point and locals were smiling and wav ing at us, cheering and we felt like we had a “connecting moment”.Even though we had this cultural shock and despite the negative feelings at the beginning of our travels in Bolivia, we have to say that we will never forget how special Bolivia was to us.4. How might newcomers feel about Bolivians?A．They are cold. B．They are gentle.C．They are clever. D．They are generous.5. What shaped Bolivians’ attitude to foreigners?A．Foreigners’ rude manners.B．The location of the country.C．The unpleasant history of the country. D．Local people’s lack of knowledge.6. What’s the author’s favorite about Bolivians?A．They seldom blame foreigners. B．They are good at doing business.C．They have many self-made items. D．They preserve their traditions well.7. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Bolivia?A．Comforted. B．Fruitless. C．Eye-opening. D．Embarrassed.Nearly 40 years ago, Peter Harrison, a marine ecologist witnessed the first recorded large - scale coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）event. Diving in the Great Barrier Reef（大堡礁），he was shocked by the scene before him. “The reef was made up of healthy corals and badly b leached white corals, like the beginning of a ghost city,” he says. Just months before, the same site was filled with colorful tropical life.“Many of the hundreds of corals that had been carefully labelled and monitored finally died,” he says. “It was shocking and made me aware of just how weak these corals really are.”Coral exists together with photosynthetic algae（藻类）, which live in its tissues and provide essential nutrition (and coloration). But high temperatures and other stresses can turn algae poisonous. When this occurs, the algae may die or be removed by the coral, a process known as bleaching because the coral’s clear tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton（碳酸钙骨骼）are exposed. If the coral can’t reestablish its link with algae, it will starve or become ill.The widespread destruction Harrison saw in 1982 was repeated on many other Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenomenon went global, killing some 16 percent of the world’s corals. With rising temperatures, po llution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species and other dangers, Harrison’s ghost cities are expanding.Scientists suppose that about four decades ago severe bleaching occurred roughly every 25 years, giving corals time to recover. But bleaching events are coming faster now—about every six years—and in some places soon they could begin to happen annually.“The absolute key is dealing with global warming,” says marine biologist Terry Hughes. “No matter how much we clean up the water, the reef s will die.” In 2016, a record-hot year in a string of them, 91 percent of the reefs that consist of the Great Barrier Reef bleached.8. Peter Harrison was shocked when diving in the Great Barrier Reef, because _______.A．the reefs were made up of precious coralsB．he saw the corals he had tagged beforeC．the corals were ruined badly and quicklyD．he found a ghost city with tropical life9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _______.A．the causes of coral bleaching B．the weakness of corals and algaeC．the elements that make algae die D．the process of building a link with algae10. The phrase “Harrison’s ghost cities” in Paragraph 4 most probably refers to ______.A．the coral bleaching B．invasive speciesC．global warming D．the polluted ocean11. What can be learned from the passage?A．With algae living in its tissues, coral’s white skeleton is exposed.B．The reefs die because the water hasn’t been cleaned thoroughlyC．Solving global warming is the real solution to coral bleaching.D．The severest coral bleaching occurred about four decades ago.When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if o ne knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”12. What do we know about John?A．He enjoyed his career and marriage.B．He had few childhood playmates.C．He received little love from his family.D．He was envied by others in his childhood.13. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A．a description of personal values and social valuesB．an analysis of how work was related to competenceC．an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD．an explanation why some boys grew into happy men14. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A．Quick to react. B．Having a thin edge.C．Clear and definite. D．Sudden and rapid.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Competent adults know more about love than work.B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C．Love brings more joy to people than work does.D．Independence is the key to one’s success.Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself whe n he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills. 16 Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self-expression.17 As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: 18Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities. Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. 19 However, art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges.What are art therapists’ supe rpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being. 20 These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety.It’s the textbook beginning of a nightmare: lost on a hiking track, with no water, and an injured dog too heavy to carry. _________, for the family of three this story happened to, they _________ a kind-hearted boy.For JD, Aimee, and their dog Smokey, a two-mile hike had become a _________.

They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves.Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw—a bike with a passenger seat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town.“Despite my deceased parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation,” said Lawrence “and I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.”The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he calls Lyon often and goes to the gym with him to help him with exercises he can’t do on his own.Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships,” he told CBS News. “In my friendships—and the ability to form new relationships at any age—are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.”John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “Theysay, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say, ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he likes when they hit red lights, because it gives them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said, “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.”4．What did Lawrence benefit from Cycling Without Age?A．Picking up forgotten stories.B．Improving his health condition. C．Understanding his parents’ love.D．Creating a relationship with seniors. 5．Why did Ole Kassow mention “friendships”?A．To share the pleasure of cycling.B．To state the nature of happiness.C．To show the value of the program.D．To introduce the definition of a good life. 6．What can we learn from Boettner’s words in the last paragraph?A．The program needs to be advertised.B．Passengers have to pay for their rides. C．Red lights connect people on the road.D．Bike riders feel fulfilled by offering rides.7．What is the best title for this article?A．Every cloud has a silver lining B．Friendship on the wheelsC．Grow through life D．Happiness is a journey, not a destinationFrom cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family. ”Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie andhis ever-calm, loving mother.Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained. ”My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.8．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?A．Risky.B．Busy.C．Tough.D．Diverse. 9．What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A．I introduced my family by mistake.B．I shouldn’t have introduced my family.C．I couldn’t help introducing my family.D．I gave wrong information about my family.10．What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?A．The book’s writing feature.B．Durrell’s rich imagination.C．Some interesting plots of the book.D．Some vivid descriptions of the island.11．What is the purpose of this text?A．To share an experience.B．To recommend a book.C．To introduce a writing style.D．To describe an unusual place.Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives,such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的)，lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.12．Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To illustrate the variety of food.B．To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.C．To describe the changes of living environment.D．To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system.13．What caused pandas’ change in diet?A．The low-metabolic ability.B．The amino acids in meat.C．The Taslrl gene’s inactivation.D．The supplies of bamboo.14．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Seizing bamboo shoots.B．The low energy return.C．Developing more fingers.D．The vegetarian diet.15．Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 4 focus on?A．The preference for bamboo.B．The evolutionary feature in eating.C．The unique lifestyle.D．The special appearance.二、七选五How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There arePsychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. 17 In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right significantly more than other participants did—even when their answers were wrong.So what is behind “jumping”?Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and nonjumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. 18 It is the controlled system that helps people counter balance mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.19 A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking throughthe problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our gut is a frequent and important one. 20 Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.A．Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.B．Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.C．But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.D．It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.E．We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.F．The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.G．Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.三、完形填空As the train picked up its speed, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats.

浙江省四校联考2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷(含答案)

浙江省四校联考2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) supports a wide variety of programs to ensure that all youth have the skills and training they need to successfully make the switch to adulthood and careers. These programs include: ApprenticeshipApprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and related classroom instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Applicants for apprenticeship programs must be at least 16 years old and meet the program sponsor's qualifications.YouthBuildYouthBuild programs give at-risk youth ages 16-24 the opportunity to transform their lives by earning their high school certificate of graduation or an equally state-recognized degree, learning to be community leaders, and preparing for college and other post-secondary training opportunities.Job CorpsJob Corps is the nation's largest and most comprehensive residential, education, and job training program for at-risk youth, ages 16 through 24. Private companies, state agencies, federal agencies, and unions recruit(招募) young people to participate in Job Corps, where they can train for and be placed in jobs.Youth ConnectionsThe Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 is carrying out a comprehensive youth employment program for serving qualified youth, ages 14-24, who face barriers to education , training, and employment.For more information about youth programs, visit ETA's Division of Youth Services page. 1．What can participants do in the YouthBuild?A. Lead the state communities.B. Study theories of skilled work.C. Obtain a graduation certificate.D. Prepare for secondary training.2．Which program is suitable for teenagers aged 15?A. Apprenticeship.B. YouthBuild.C. Job Corps.D. Youth Connections.3．What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To improve youth training.B.To advertise for youth services.C. To transform youth development.D. To introduce ETA youth programs.In 2016, when I was on the graduate scheme (计划) at Deutsche Bank, Marie Inafidon, chief executive of Stemettes, who encourages girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) , was also working there. I didn't meet her at the time, but I did read an article about her and her career.Learning at 21 years old about the career of a young black woman' succeeding in a traditionally white male-dominated industry was one of the most influential things that ever happened to me. It gave me confidence that it was possible to do well in the office and work on personal external project at the same time.Role models can play a central role in shaping a young professional's career. They are especially important if you belong to an under-represented group for whom a lack of representation in the workplace can lead to feeling isolated and lacking in confidence. They can help those just starting out, whether or not they are a graduate as I was, to believe in their own abilities.There's a growing need to have accessible role models. Given the tendency to exaggerate (夸大) success stories, hearing from women who talk honestly about the challenges they have faced, either when starting a business or forming a new career path, is much more effective. A study revealed that 70 per cent of girls say they think differently about their futures after hearing from women role models.I'm frequently asked about what businesses could be doing to increase racial diversity in the workplace. A good starting point is to actively promote and support the voices of the people in the organisation that are leading positive change and inspiring others. This makes a real difference. Unlike the tokenism (装样子) I still come across, which results in individuals being made the lone representative for a group without real support from the organisation.Things came full circle for me when I interviewed Ms. Inafidon for my book in 2019. I was able to tell her of the incredible impact her passion and confidence had had on me as a graduate trainee and how grateful I would always be for that.4．What do we learn about Marie Inafidon?A. She became successful at 21.B. She was a trainee at Deutsche Bank.C. She encouraged girls to take up STEM-related work.D. She helped the author with her external project personally.5．Who can benefit most from role models in the work place according to the third paragraph?A. Experienced professionals.B. A graduate eager to succeed.C. People without special abilities.D. The young from an under-represented group. 6．What is effective in changing girls' mindset?A. Taking on challenging projects.B. Reading more made-up success stories.C. Starting their own business as early as possible.D. Listening to women role models share their experiences.7．What should businesses do to increase racial diversity in the workplace according to the author?A. Encourage positive opinions.B. Make more colored people authorities.C. Include more people of different races.D. Understand the true meaning of tokenism.New York University (NYU) surgeons have performed the world's first transplant of an entire human eye, an extraordinary addition to a face transplant, although it's far too soon to know if the man will ever see through his new left eye.An accident had destroyed most of Aaron James' face and one eye. His right eye still works. But the surgeons hoped replacing the missing one would produce better cosmetic (整容的) results for his new face. The NYU team is doing just that. James is recovering well from the dual (双重的) transplant last May and the donated eye looks remarkably healthy.Today, transplants of the cornea(眼角膜) are common to treat certain types of vision loss. But transplanting the whole eye—the eyeball, its blood supply, and the critical optic nerve(视神经) that must connect it to the brain-is considered a moonshot in the search to cure blindness.Whatever will happen next, James' surgery offers scientists a window into how the human eye tries to heal. "We're not claiming that we are going to restore sight," said Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, who led the transplant. "But there's no doubt that we are one step closer."Some specialists had feared the eye would quickly become dry and wrinkled. However, when Rodriguez opened James' left eyelid, the donated eye was fat and full of liquid. Doctors see good blood flow and no sign of rejection.Now researchers have begun analyzing scans (扫描结果) of James' brain that detected some puzzling signals from that all-important but injured optic nerve. Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg, who has long studied how to make eye transplants a reality, called the surgery exciting. "It's an amazing confirmation of animal experiments that have kept transplanted eyes alive," he said. "The difficulty now is how to regrow the optic nerve, although animal studies are making progress." He praised the NYU team's "boldness" in even aiming for optic nerve repair and hopes the transplant will promote more research.8．What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?A. James is fully content with the surgery result.B. The surgeons have transplanted the face and an eye to James.C. James can see through his transplanted eye pretty soon.D. The surgery to replace James' missing eye is underway.9．What does the underlined word “moonshot” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A task impossible to complete.B. A fantasy existing in the virtual world.C. A project extremely tough to accomplish.D. A mission probable to be complete without effort.10．What challenge are the researchers facing now?A. How to obtain better cosmetic results.B. How to stop the transplanted eye from shriveling(萎缩).C. How to make further progress in animal studies.D. How to grow the optic nerve of the transplanted eye again.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. James Received Transplanted Eye PerfectlyB. NYC Doctors Perform World's First Eye TransplantC. Various Methods to Treat Different Types of Vision LossD. Advances Made in Eye Transplant and Optic Nerve RepairCould you manage without the internet for four and a half years? That's exactly what the actress Selena Gomez has done in a bid to improve her mental health.She has spoken extensively about the relationship between her social media usage and mental well-being, recalling feeling like "an addict" as to becoming Instagram's most followed user in 2016. "Indeed, I regret quitting from social media that late", says she. "The unnecessary hate and comparisons went away once I put my phone down.”However, the increasing digitization (数字化) means that everything from paying a bill to even making a phone call is at the mercy of the internet. Actively opting (选择) out of the internet becomes a matter of privilege. Ms Gomez's multi-millionaire status has allowed her to take the "social” out of social media. The fact that she's still the second most-followed woman on Instagram suggests it's entirely possible to maintain a significant web profile to promote various projects by way of a dedicated team—without being exposed to the cruel comments.It goes without saying that this is fundamentally different from how the rest of us without beauty deals and films to publicize use the likes of Instagram and Twitter, but even the concept of a digital detox (戒瘾) requires having a device and connectivity to choose to disconnect from.The UK's digital divide has worsened over the past two years, leaving poorer families without broadband connections in their homes. Digital exclusion (数字隔绝) is a major threat to wider societal equality in the UK.Consequently, it's worth bearing in mind that while deleting all social media accounts will undoubtedly make some feel infinitely better, many other people benefit from the strong sense of community that sharing platforms can develop. Greater resources and initiatives are needed to provide the underprivileged with the connectivity they desperately need to learn, work and live. It's crucial that people feeling social media is harmful to their mental health are allowed to switch off and for those living in digital exclusion to be able to switch on primarily.12．What do we learn about the actress Selena Gomez in the past four and a half years?A. She has withdrawn from social media.B. She has won Instagram's most followers.C. She has had worsening mental problems.D. She has succeeded in a bid on the internet.13．Why does actively opting out of using the internet become a matter of privilege?A. Most people think that digital exclusion promotes societal equality in the UK.B. Most people can hardly abandon the web while avoiding hate and comparisons.C. Most people can hardly get by without the internet due to growing digitization.D. Most people have been seriously addicted to the web without being aware of it. 14．What is stressed concerning social media platforms in the last paragraph?A. They are beneficial to people's mental health.B. They create a virtual community on the internet.C. They help many people feel connected with others.D. They provide a necessary device for a digital detox.15．What is the author's attitude towards social media platforms?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.二、七选五16．In our fast-paced world, where speed and instant results often steal the spotlight, there's a quiet but great virtue that often goes unnoticed—the courage to go slow. It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies. ①_____●Start, add and abandon habits. Understand that habit formation takes time and requires testing, reflecting, and adapting. Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices. ②_____●Push consistency over intensity. Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes. ③_____ This occurs because the lasting habits that are selected are implemented every day and reflected upon routinely.●④_____ Celebrate each little victory along the way. These moments of success, no matter how minor, are the building blocks of lasting change.●Seek support. Surround yourself with individuals who support your journey and value the importance of patience. Lean on their encouragement during challenging times.Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world. ⑤_____ Taking it slow with patience enables individuals to travel along this journey with determination, as can be illustrated by the well-known story of the tortoise and the hare.A. Ask for suggestions.B. Applaud small wins.C. It's the slow and steady progress that leads to lasting habits.D. As we slow down, patience becomes our greatest companion.E. Protect these few practices by giving up other unsuitable ones.F. However, is it right for us common people to do so in such a way?G. The question then is, how do we go slow and develop and sustain a new habit?三、完形填空（15空）Adrienne Tully, an amateur photographer, went to the coast of a beach in Belmar, Newwhat he did.17．A. wildlife B. city C. fight D. sunrise18．A. launch B. anticipate C. shoot D. report19．A. cooperating B. forming C. arguing D. encountering20．A. hope B. charge C. absence D. face21．A. confused B. desperate C. anxious D. depressed22．A. fortunately B. however C. otherwise D. therefore23．A. defeated B. deserted C. stuck D. seated24．A. routines B. attempts C. excuses D. routes25．A. ruined B. interrupted C. canceled D. postponed26．A. purposely B. randomly C. elegantly D. heroically27．A. onlooker B. tourist C. surfer D. guide28．A. going B. washing C. thundering D. struggling29．A. ashamed B. mad C. amazed D. expert30．A. went off B. turned up C. settled down D. set out31．A. appreciated B. understood C. awarded D. supported四、短文填空32． The Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve in northwest China's Qinghai Province has updated ①_____(it) list of protected wildlife, adding 10 species ②_____ the previoustotal of 72, according to a report by the Xinhua News Agency.

The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park”from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird’s-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.16.

This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.19. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A．Living in a group.B．Growing beautiful feathers. C．Feeding on the ground.D．Avoiding coming out at night.20. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?A．To attack back.B．To get away.C．To protect the young.D．To play dead.21. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A．It may explode suddenly.B．It may be in a strange shape.C．It may have a strong color.D．It may move around quickly.22. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A．To explain wild parrots’ behavior.B．To give advice on raising a parrot. C．To call for action to protect animals.D．To introduce a study on bird ecology.In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place. Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered.Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.23. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?A．Critical.B．Supportive.C．Tolerant.D．Uncertain.24. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?A．They lack debating skills.B．They may feel bad even if they win. C．They fear being ignored.D．They are not confident in themselves.25. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Defend.B．Explain.C．Conclude.D．Repeat.26. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?A．Sense of logic.B．Solid supporting evidence.C．Proper manners.D．Understanding from both sides.For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’resleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.27. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’behavior?A．They are interested in acting.B．They are shy with the strangers. C．They are fond of their playmates.D．They are tired of playing games.28. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?A．Design games for them.B．Find them suitable playmates. C．Play together with them.D．Help them understand social rules. 29. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?A．Giving examples.B．Explaining concepts.C．Providing evidence.D．Making comparisons.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How Children Adapt to Changes B．How to Be a Role Model for Children C．How Your Baby Learns to Love D．How to Communicate with Your KidCommon Mistakes New Runners MakeRunning is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it. However, many make a number of common mistakes, which can interfere (妨碍) with training or lead to injury. 31 , keep these things in mind to help you increase your chances of running success.·Doing too much too soonOne of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much too soon. Slowly easing into a training program will help reduce the risk of injury, so you can continue on with your new running routine 32 .· 33Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Running is a high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body. So it’s important to give your body a rest between workouts.·Not wearing the right equipment34 , it’s important that you wear properly for your workouts. The most important piece of equipment for running is a good pair of running shoes, so be sure to do some research before you purchase a pair. Visit a running specialty store and ask an employee to fit you for a shoe.•Running through pain35 If something hurts when you run, you need to stop and treat the pain. Remember: It doesn’t make you less of a runner if you listen to your body to keep it healthy.A．Not taking rest daysB．If you’re just starting outC．Comparing yourself to othersD．Running can be uncomfortable at timesE．It’s important not to use the same musclesF．While it may be true that you don’t need expensive equipment to take up running G．Experts suggest increasing your running distance by no more than 10% each week三、完形填空Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.

广东省汕头市重点中学2022-2023学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题(含答案)

2022-2023学年度第二学期3月份第一次质检考高二级英语科试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AIf you find yourself lonely on Feb.14,it's technically possible to be happy when you have Netflix.Clueless(1995)When it came out in 1995,“Clueless”was a modern movie on the classic Jane Austen novel “Emma.”Today,it's a sad,somewhat retro(怀旧的)story about a high school girl(Alicia Silver stone)who finds joy in bringing together couples around her,while remaining single and particular about who she chooses to date. She soon finds love in an unexpected place.How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)As a journalist,Andie (Hudson)in the film is assigned a special task where she has to write about her experience trying to make a man fall in love with her,followed by making him want to break up with her. The assignment goes to unexpected places when Ben(McConaughey)enters the picture.The Imitation Game(2014)Strange things happen when people fall in love with machines;it's actually happening with today’s technology. In“The Imitation Game”,which is set in the 1940s,tells the true story of Alan Turing and his team to break the German secret codes to win World War II. Although the film is largely about code breaking efforts,it also delivers on some love,both machine,and human.Frances Ha (2013)Filmed in black and white,“Frances Ha”begins with a bad breakup and is followed by the journey of Frances Halladay(Greta Gerwig)to become a professional dancer. It's a touching adventure with plenty of love along the way.1. What do we do with NetflixA. To find friends.B. To see films.C. To surf the Internet.D. To shop online.2. If you are interested in wars,which film do you think is your favouriteA. Clueless.B. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.C. The Imitation Game.D. Frances Ha.3. Whose story do you think is the most inspiring in the passageA. Alicia Silver stone's story.B. Alan Turing's story.C. Andie's story.D. Frances Halladay's story.BAn afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life,although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures,people will have a daily nap—this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime,when they did not sleep before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness—as in the Alzheimer's disease study—can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people,napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night,says Dr. Neill Stanley,a sleep expert.“If yo u feel sleepy during the day,you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs —it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine. It needs sleep.”The feeling we should notice is“sleepiness”,he says.“It's not tiredness,which could be more psych ological and linked to stress.”So how do you nap well The key thing,says Stanley,is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap.“When you fall asleep,you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up because that's when you wake and feel worse than you didbefore.”Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep;napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep—“Some people are better at napping than others but,”says Stanley,“a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes.”—you can set an alarm,allowing a 30-to 40-minute period for a short nap,and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon,between 2 p. m. and 4p. m.“You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep,”Stanley says. The point,he stres ses,is to get good night-time sleep,which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.4. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most peopleA. Caffeine addiction.B. Psychological stress.C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Potential physical illness.5. What is the key to a good napA. Duration. B . Surroundings.C. Health.D. Stages.6. What does the underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refer toA. A 30-to 40-minute period.B. Between 2 p. m and 4 p. mC. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20-90-minute period.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Why to Phase A NapB. When to Take A Good NapC. What to Learn From A NapD. How to Have A Successful Nap2CIn the 17th century,the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period,artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques,contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the“Mona Lisa of the North”,this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,a city in Holland where the artist was born,lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer's most well-known work of art. However,it did not attain international fameat its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century,when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington,D. C.Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead,it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing,who is“like a vision coming from the darkness”and“belongs to no specific time or place”,art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained.Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines. This characteristic approach is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First,he would“invent”,or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then,he made a single colored underpainting(底层色).Next,he added color. And,finally,in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉)to certain parts of the painting.In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty,the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa,she is also looking at us,but she isn't engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,self-contained,”Tracy Chevalier,the author of The New York Times’best-selling historical novel,Girl with a Pearl Earring,points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appeal ing.”8. What inspired the creation of the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. The appearance of the girl.B. Vermeer's international fame.C. Previous artists'painting skills.D. Encouragement from other artists.9. What do we know about the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. It is set in the artist's birthplace.B. It makes the artist famous overnight.C. It describes a particular and famous girl.D. It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk aboutA. The subject of the painting.B. Techniques used in the painting.C. The historic value of the painting.D. The mystery behind the painting.11. How does Tracy comment on the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. By citing a theory.B. By giving a definition.C. By offering an example.D. By making a comparison.3DHave you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a passing glance at a freeway billboard featuring a brightly colored cheeseburger,or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of lively shades and hues(色调)of sweet treats If so,you are in good company. Unless we are medically restricted or strictly dieting,we are not likely to resist inviting fare simply because we recognize the lack of nutritional value.Devina Wadhera and Elizabech D. Capaldi-Phillips in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food recognize the impact of sensory cues(信号)on food consumption and enjoyment,and the potential they have to promote healthy eating behavior. They cite previous research in providing some interesting examples of thevisual impact of different color schemes(方案)on taste and food enjoyment. They note that pink food on a white plate was considered sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate. Apparently,we consume with more of our senses than we realize. So given the rainbow of colors around us when faced with so many appealing food choices,is there any way to control our appetite Thankfully,some research says yes.Oliver Genschow demonstrated that when it comes to eating less colors impact consumption!They specifically researched the effect of the color red. They found that people ate fewer pretzels when using a red plate,as opposed to white or blue,and drank less from a red cup than a blue cup.They suggest that the color red reduces food and drink intake by functioning as a stop signal.But when it comes to healthy eating,instead of putting on a pair of sunglasses to block the inviting hues of food cues,consider the value of discipline. Healthy eating involves intentional choices,not mindless responses to sensory cues. And before you invest in many red tableware to slim down,remember that what goes onto those plates is much more important.12. What may be a major reason for us to refuse eye-catching foodA. The shortage of nutrition.B. The rich color of fine foods.C. The doctor's instructions.D. Advertisements everywhere.13. What might be dealt with in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with FoodA. Benefits of different color schemes.B. Interesting examples of food service.C. Potentials to promote food consumption.D. Effects of sensory cues on eating behavior.14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraphA. Follow the sensory response.B. Make food choices sensibly.C. Wear sunglasses to block colors.D. Avoid colorful food intentionally.15. What is the best title for the textA. How People can Control Their Appetite.B. How People are Tricked by Color Schemes.C. How Colors Impact Food Appeal and Appetite.D. How Bright Colors Make Food More Appealing.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
