2020-2021学年张家口宣化区第一中学高三英语第四次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AExperts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated fat found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects--- both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!1. Which of the following animals contribute the most to global methane emissions?A. Sheep.B. Donkeys.C. Cows.D. Pigs.2. How is the third paragraph developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By providing examples.C. By listing data.D. By asking questions.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Few people eat insects regularly.B. Ordinary insects are high in fat.C. Insects contain various vitamins.D. Saturated fat is harmful to health.BDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.4. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.5. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.6. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.7. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.CThe history of the flying car is almost as old as that of powered flight itself. It started with the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, an awkward-looking machine with removable wings. It never left the ground. Later machines made it into the skies but failed to take off commercially. Money is now pouring into flying taxis. On March 30th Lilium, a German company that develops them, announced a merger with SPAC, an acquisition company that values it at $3. 3 bn -- a sign that investors think the business will fly.Thanks to better batteries and lightweight materials, some of them are ready to carry passengers. Up to 300 firms are working on short-range battery-powered craft that take off and land vertically. Carmakers, tech companies and others are investing money into the field. The government isoffering a glide pathto certification.America's Federal Aviation Administration is engaged in the process with around 30 firms, says Natasha Santha of LEK, a consulting company.Midway between a cab and a helicopter, flying taxis have distinct advantages over both. Quiet electric motors allow them to operate frequent services. They require only a patch of concrete to land, unlike noisy helicopters, which face severe operating restrictions in most cities. They can fly four or five times faster than a cab can drive and do not get stuck in traffic. Prices can be kept low by ride-sharing. Joby, based inCalifornia, says its five-seater machine will enter commercial service in 2024. The firm calculates the initial cost of around $4 per person per mile may soon fall by 25%. A trip fromManhattanto JFK airport would then cost $30-40 per passenger.The real revolution will come when full autonomy takes out the cost of a pilot. Archer hopes to run such aircraft by 2028. They face fewer obstacles in the air than earth-bound cars do on the road; airliners mostly fly on autopilot as it is. Still, as one industry insider puts it, it is probably best to accustom passengers and regulators to airborne taxis before getting rid of the driver.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The flying car can date back to the 1920s.B. Investors see the potential of the business of the flying car.C. The flying car never left the ground successfully in history.D. A German company has launched a new flying car into the market.9. What does "offering a glide path" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Giving the green light.B. Providing timely assistance.C. Presenting legal guidance.D. Conducting strict management.10. Which of the following is the strength of flying taxis?A. Costing as little as cabs.B. Saving passengers from the traffic jam.C. Reducing air pollution.D. Having no operating restrictions.11. What can be inferred about the flying taxis from the last paragraph?A. They will develop faster than cars.B. Passengers will quickly get used to taking them.C. The regulators will take measures to promote them.D. Autopilot flying taxis will probably replace those with pilots.DThe founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator fromWisconsin. During the late 1960s, Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life, killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was timeto educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for a healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which had previously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.12. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “synonymous with” in paragraph 1?A. familiar withB. opposite toC. different fromD. equal to13. Why did Nelson found Earth Day?A. To support students’ antiwar movement.B. To draw people’s attention to the seriousness of the oil spill.C. To arouse American’s awareness of environmental conservation.D. To educate Americans to protect marine life threatened by oil spill events.14. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Businesses would like to follow environmental standards.B. Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.C. It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action.D. The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries.15. The passage mainly talks about_______.A. how Earth Day came into beingB. why Earth Day was so significantC. who the founder of Earth Day wasD. what Earth Day meantto the world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Closer to where he was buried, the church St. Charles Borromeo regularly stages The Four Seasons, Vivaldi’s main work. The concerts start at 8:15 pm on weekends and last 60 minutes.

In the late1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective, according to Carol Willis, director of theSkyscraperMuseuminNew York, “The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force, piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient, ”she says.Like all major changes in architecture, the trend wasunderpinnedby engineering. The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers (摩天大楼) look little like those built in the first half of the 20thcentury. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological shift：the curtain wall.Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light, glass exteriors (外部) help. buildings resist greater windloads.There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, ”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling (无序扩张), ”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height：At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), there are new costs to consider.Whether it's employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.4. What does the underlined word“underpinned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Created.B. Prepared.C. Suggested.D. Supported.5. What made living on higher floors much more convenient?A. The development of steel framework.B. Load-bearing stones.C. The use of the elevator.D. The curtain wall.6. What can we know from paragraph 5?A. Our cities will grow taller definitely.B. All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall.C. Construction cost rises as the stories increase.D. The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher.7. What's the next big challenge facing architects?A. How to build the greenest building.B. How to build the strongest building.C. How to build the tallest building in the world.D. How to build the most comfortable building.CI had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation.

However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.8. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?A. Delighted.B. Annoyed.C. Thrilled.D. Nervous.9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.B. He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.C. He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.10. Why did the author decide to enter the second contest?A. He was eager to prove himself to be the best contestant.B. He was inspired by the never-give-up spirit of Lincoln.C. He was willing to enjoy the warmth and joy of victory.D. He was determined to win the prize money and praise.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A memorable hero in my lifeB. Never mind others’ judgmentsC.

河北省张家口市宣化区宣化第一中学2020-2021学年高二英语10月月考试题一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn the animal kingdom， weakness can bring about aggression（侵略） in other animals． This sometimes happens with humans also． But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people． I see it every day when people hold doors for me， pour cream into my coffee， or help me to put on my coat． And I have discovered that it makes them happy．From my wheelchair experience， I see the best in people， but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent（独立的） miss the kindness I see daily． They don't get to see this soft side of others． Often， we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness， which includes a lot of pretending（伪装）． But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．Last month， when I was driving home on a busy highway， I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual． People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me， horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me． At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving． I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights， I was saying to other drivers， "I have a problem here． I am weak and doing the best I can．" And everyone understood． Several times， I saw drivers who wanted to pass． They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic． But instead of getting impatient and angry， they waited， knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way． But those are few and far between． More often， it would be better if we don'tpretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．1.The author feels sad sometimes because ______ ．A. he has a soft heartB. some people fail to see the kindness in othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. he relies much on others2.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights？ ______A. They waited with patience．B. They speeded up to pass．C. They tried their best to help．D. They put on their flashlights too．3.Which of the following is the best title of this passage？ ______A. A Wheelchair Experience．B. A Driving ExperienceC. Weakness and StrengthD. Weakness and Kindness．BI left university with a good degree in English Literature， but no sense of what I wanted to do． Over the next six years， I was treading water，just trying to earn an income． I tried journalism， but I didn't think I was any good， then finance，which I hated． Finally， I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher． I loved working with books， although the job that I did was dull．I had enough savings to take a year off work， and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel． Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55，000 words．It takes confidence to make a new start - there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other． You're out for dinner and people ask what you do，and you're too ashamed to say， "Well， I'm writing a novel， but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there．" My confidence dived． Believing my novel could not be published， I put it aside．Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents． So，I did and， to my surprise， got some wonderful feedback． I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and， after signing with an agent， I finished the second half of the novel．The next problem was finding a publisher． After two-and-a-half years of no income，just waiting and wondering， a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for．It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate， really． When you set out to do something different， there's no end in sight， so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）．4.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean？ ______A. I was waiting for good fortune．B. I was trying to find an admirable job．C. I was being aimless about a suitable job．D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time．5.The author decided to write a novel ______ ．A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers' wishD. to earn more money6.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel？ ______A. Disturbed．B. Ashamed．C. Confident．D. Uncertain．7.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？ ______A. It pays to stick to one's goal．B. Hard work can lead to success．C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky．D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something．CDoctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings． A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid． Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine． Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects． These are common causes of accidental poisoning．In cases like this， seek medical help as soon as possible． Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning． And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison． Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim． That way， doctors can examine it．Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat． The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts（腹部按压）， which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person． Put your arms around the victim's waist． Close one hand to form a ball． Place it over the upper part of the stomach， below the ribs． Place the other hand on top． Then push forcefully inward and upward． Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth． For someone who is pregnant or very fat，place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts．Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives． But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned． They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim． Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object．To learn more about first aid， ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information． There may be training classes offered in your area．8.According to the first paragraph， which of the following is NOT the common causeof accidental poisonings？ ______A. A harmful medicineB. A cleaning liquidC. Poisonous insectsD. Dangerous pesticide（杀虫剂）9.The underlined word "expelled" can be replaced by " ______ "．A. coming outB. taking upC. going awayD. getting down10.Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned？ ______A.

河北省张家口市宣化区宣化第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷含答案
英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression（侵略）in other animals．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent（独立的）miss the kindness I see daily．They don't get to see this soft side of others．Often，we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending（伪装）．But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me．At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to other drivers，"I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．"And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way．But those are few and far between．More often，it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．1.The author feels sad sometimes because______．A.he has a soft heartB.some people fail to see the kindness in othersC.some people pretend to be kindD.he relies much on others2.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights？______A.They waited with patience．B.They speeded up to pass．C.They tried their best to help．D.They put on their flashlights too．3.Which of the following is the best title of this passage？______A.A Wheelchair Experience．B.A Driving ExperienceC.Weakness and StrengthD.Weakness and Kindness．BI left university with a good degree in English Literature，but no sense of what I wanted to do．Over the next six years，I was treading water，just trying to earn an income．I tried journalism，but I didn't think I was any good，then finance，which I hated．Finally，I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher．I loved working with books，although the job that I did was dull．I had enough savings to take a year off work，and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel．Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first55，000words．It takes confidence to make a new start-there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other．You're out for dinner and people ask what you do，and you're too ashamed to say，"Well，I'm writing a novel，but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there．"My confidence dived．Believing my novel could not be published，I put it aside．Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents．So，I did and，to my surprise，got some wonderful feedback．I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and，after signing with an agent，I finished the second half of the novel．The next problem was finding a publisher．After two-and-a-half years of no income，just waiting and wondering，a publisher offered me a book deal-that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for．It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck-of fate，really．When you set out to do something different，there's no end in sight，so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher-to be a published writer-is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）．4.What does the underlined part in Paragraph1mean？______A.I was waiting for good fortune．B.I was trying to find an admirable job．C.I was being aimless about a suitable job．D.I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time．5.The author decided to write a novel______．A.to finish the writing courseB.to realize her own dreamC.to satisfy readers'wishD.to earn more money6.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel？______A.Disturbed．B.Ashamed．C.Confident．D.Uncertain．7.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？______A.It pays to stick to one's goal．B.Hard work can lead to success．C.She feels like being unexpectedly lucky．D.There is no end in sight when starting to do something．CDoctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings．A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid．Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine．Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects．These are common causes of accidental poisoning．In cases like this，seek medical help as soon as possible．Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning．And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison．Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim．That way，doctors can examine it．Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat．The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts（腹部按压），which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person．Put your arms around the victim's waist．Close one hand to form a ball．Place it over the upper part of the stomach，below the ribs．Place the other hand on top．Then push forcefully inward and upward．Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth．For someone who is pregnant or very fat，place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts．Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives．But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned．They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim．Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object．To learn more about first aid，ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information．There may be training classes offered in your area．8.According to the first paragraph，which of the following is NOT the common cause ofaccidental poisonings？______A.A harmful medicineB.A cleaning liquidC.Poisonous insectsD.Dangerous pesticide（杀虫剂）9.The underlined word"expelled"can be replaced by"______"．ing

in every room．A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you'll love to live in．Do you want a room that's full of life？Professional？Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day？(1)，color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel．Over the years，there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point．(2)，they can get a little complex．But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home：the small ones，the medium ones，and the large ones．(3)．They're the little spots of color like throw pillows，mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms．Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa，small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable．Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas，dinner tables orbookshelves．(4)．They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones，and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space．The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls，ceilings，and floors．Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint，the time，effort and relative expense put into it are significant．(5)．A．While all of them are usefulB．Whatever you're looking forC．If you're experimenting with a colorD．Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar withE．It's not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF．So it pays to be sure，because you

Where can you enjoy a special anniversary show?A. Luna Beach Cinema, Brighton.B. Moonlight Flicks, Chester.C. Rooftop Film Club, London.D. Chirk Castle, Wrexham, North Wales3. What's the purpose of writing the text?A. To encourage summer activities.B. To advertise several cult classics.C. To recommend some blockbusters.D. To introduce outdoor cinemas.BScientists have recently discovered thatAndean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.The Andean condor is the world’s largest soaring bird. They can weigh up to 15 kilograms. Their wings, when spread out, measure up to three meters. Their main food source is the meat of large animals which have died. Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off. Once in the sky, the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all. In fact, they only flapped their wings for 1% of the time they were in the air. One bird flew for over five hours without flapping, covering nearly 117miles.Soaring without flapping is important because birds bum energy every time they flap their wings.The birds’ soaring isn’t magic. They use the fact that hot air rises to keep themselves up. As hot air rises, it often creates “thermals”— currents of warm air moving upward. The condors soar by making use of these thermals. The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.When birds are forced to land and take off again often, it costs them a lot of energy. The researchers learned that to avoid having to land, the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal.The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young, they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.4. What can we learn about the Andean condor from the text?A. They live mairly on small animals.B. Their wingspan is at least three meters.C. They rely on hot air to remain high in the sky.D. They are the birds with the strongest flying ability.5. Why was the equipment tied to the birds?A. To measure how far they could fly without flapping.B. To keep track of how often they flapped while flying.C. To calculate the energy required for their flight.D. To confirm their flight patterns.6. Which of the following acts consumes the most energy for a condor?A. Hunting for food.B. Flying in the sky.C. Getting off the ground.D. Landing on the ground.7. What can we infer from the text?A. Condors flap the most when looking for a new thermal.B. No condor can fly for more than five hours without flapping.C. Condors don’t need to look for thermals when soaring in the sky.D. Soaring by using thermals is probably a natural ability of condors.CWhile space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive ourcars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.8. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.9. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.DIt’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day.

She found inspiration in her lategrandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs.

The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, and it eventually was viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people who want to cover their life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop.Leslie Pollan, a dog breeder, was bitten on the face by a puppy. She underwent countless surgeries but those gave her no hope. She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. HecamouflagedPollan’s lip scar, giving her back confidence.Though he is now known for his talent with intricate fingernail, Catalano uses the techniques he picked up years ago while helping breast cancer survivors. Those tattoos are among the most common paramedical requests. His grandmother had breast cancer, and her battle with the disease is one reason Catalano is so dedicated to helping those with the diagnosis.Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos each “Wellness Wednesday”. While he charges $100 perregular tattoo, he doesn’t charge for paramedical tattoos: A GoFundMe page established last year brought in more than $16,000, allowing Catalano to donate his work.“Financially, it doesn’t make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see emotions from my customers, I am 100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.”4. How did people in the studio react to Bertram’s idea at first?A. They took it lightly.B. They found it creative.C. They were confused.D. They were impressed.5. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Exposed.B. Hid.C. Ignored.D. Removed.6. What does Catalano say about his work with paramedical tattoos?A. It is flexible.B. It is demanding.C. It is profitable.D. It is rewarding.7. Which of the following can best describe Catalano?A. Humorous and experienced.B. Devoted and generous.C. Cooperative and grateful.D. Professional and tolerant.CThere is no such thing as a “safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans. The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter-regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to leadauthor Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.“The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter,“ Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia(痴呆症).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing,“ she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this(0. 8%), it was a greater contribution than other "modifiable" risk factors," she said, explaining that modifiable risk factors are “ ones you can do something about, in contrast to aging.”The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns, beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health. They found that there was no "safe" level ofdrinking-meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it. They also found no evidence that the type of drink— such as wine, spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain. However, certain characteristics, such as high blood pressure, obesity or binge-drinking, could put people at higher risk, researchers added.The risks of alcohol have long been known：Previous studies have found that there's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health. Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018.“It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," Sadie Boniface, head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies, said via email. "We also shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks. ”8. What is the function of gray matter?A. Control the mount of alcoholB. Process informationC. Scan the brainD. Predict the performance on memory9. Which is NOT true in the following statements according to the study?A. Drinking alcohol is worse than not drinking.B. With people getting older, brain volume reduces.C. Alcohol was the major risk factor for disease and premature death.D. The less people drink alcohol, the more the volume of their gray matter.10. Which is one of the "modifiable" risk factors?A. SmokingB. AgingC. DeathD. Disease11. What is the main idea of the text?A. The mount of alcohol is not related to people's health.B. People drinking alcohol do harm to their brain health.C. People drinking alcohol lead to dementia.D. Theresa great deal of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for health.DSome years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.12. The author accepted the assignment because_________.A. he had never travelled abroad beforeB. he hardly knew any foreign languagesC. he was familiar with any other country in EuropeD. he would learn something new and different by trying13. Which of the following statements is TRUE？A. The author had been abroad only twice.B. The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.C. The author admitted that anything different was terrible.D. The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.14. We can infer from the text that the author is_______.A. awkwardB. generousC. stubbornD. brave15. What's the best title of the text？A. An Interesting Trip AbroadB. My First Writing AssignmentC.

Six communities and housing estates previously designated as low-risk areas were raised to medium-risk ones, Chen said.In addition to asking local residents to get vaccinated, the city has organized nucleic acid testing in Haizhu and Yuexiu districts starting from Sunday. Residents in specific areas of Tianhe, Baiyun and Panyu districts have also been required to take nucleic acid tests to expand the screening of suspected patients and asymptomatic carriers.Liwan previously required all its residents to take nucleic acid tests.As of Saturday, more than 2-25 million residents of the city have had samples collected for nucleic acid tests, Chen said. More than 10,000 medical workers from the entire city have been sent to Liwan to help vaccinate locals against COVID-19 and collect samples for nucleic acid testing.Deng Wenjun, director of circulation section with Guangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, said there are sufficient supplies of food and daily necessities in the medium-risk areas.4.

In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink uponwaking—first from a normal night’s sleep, and then again after a poor night’s sleep during which they were woken up for five minutes every hour. In the third, their sleep was similarly disrupted, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drink, which mirrored the calories of a typical breakfast, in each experiment. Results showed that one night of disrupted sleep did not worsen the participants’ blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies’ ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee across a range of different metabolic markers, scientists at the University of Bath found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This simple study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed moves some coffee drinkers’ heartstrings. As up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go.” said Professor James Betts, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism at the University of Bath.8. How did UK researchers get the result of the experiment?A. By making comparisons.B. By consulting journals.C. By questionnaire.D. By assumption.9. What can we learn from the experiment?A. One night of poor sleep surely affects blood sugar.B. Drinking coffee after breakfast does harm to health.C. Having strong drinks has a good effect on metabolism.D. Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health.10. What does James Betts think of the study?A. It makes no sense.B. It remains to be continued.C. It is limited and blind.D. It is particular and explicit.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Much Coffee to Drink MattersB. Does Coffee Really Wake Up an Appetite?C.

If you're looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots.Singapore Being one of the most crowded cities in the world and citizens known for being workaholics, it's hard to imagine Singapore having one of the happiest populations on earth. And yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were very happy. They give their city high marks for cleanliness and safetysubways are neat and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobs. What's more, they feel they can count on their neighbors.Århus, Denmark The residents of Århus cheerfully pay 68% of their ine in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top education for their children. A city of300，000 with an exciting cultural scene, the sense of munity and equality, as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Århus seem more like a small town.San Luis Obispo, CA People of San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other U．S．cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression. Some 64，000 of the 260，000 people volunteer at over 11，000 nonprofit organizations. "Quick access makes it easy to be involved," resident Pierre Rademaker told Buettner.Monterrey, Mexico Unlike San Luis Obispans, the people of Monterrey don't enjoy high household （家庭）ines or access to good healthcare. Instead, with their faith in God and family, they are able to tough it out through bad times. "We laugh at sickness, poverty and even death," says Basanez. "We even have a holiday to celebrate death. November2，the Day of the Dead, is one of the biggest holidays of the year."11.When you want to get close to nature outside the city, which one is your bestchoice？______A. SingaporeB. ÅrhusC. San Luis ObispoD. Monterrey12.If you go sighting in Monterrey, you may be impressed that people ______ ．A. there are hardworkingB. there never save moneyC. are happy because others dieD. are optimistic even in difficulty13.In which section of a magazine may this text appear？______A. NatureB. EntertainmentC. TravelD. EducationBRichard Holmes, a British author and academic, is something of a Romantic, famous for biographies of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In his last book, "The Age of Wonder"，he wrote about science and Romanticism and their mon mitment to discovery. In his new book, "FallingUpwards"，he bines the two again to tell the stories of Europe's early balloonists （气球飞行者）．Mr Holmes's love of balloons was aroused at a village festival and his enthusiasm is one of thebook's many pleasures. He refers to the cheerful tone used in many firsthand ballooning stories, and applies it in this secondhand account. He describes men and women wrapped up in fur coats under their hydrogenfilled balloons, enjoying cold chicken and champagne and looking back to earth to see mankind "for what it really is."Mr Holmes makes much of the strange side of ballooning, but the book is at its best when examining its more serious applications. In the American civil war, for example, both North and South put observers in balloons to spy on enemy movements. And during the Prussian attack on Paris in 187071，balloonists managed to fly out of the city to municate with the French government in exile （流亡）in Tours."Falling Upwards" contains much of the historian's writing characteristics, such as footnotes and bibliography （文献书目），but its epilogue （后记）refers modestly to what has gone before as "a series of true balloonstories"．It does touch on the more technical aspects of ballooning, and says little about the French Montgolfier brothers who are credited as its inventors. That though seems a small price to pay for such a spirited work. Mr Holmes's tale ends at the start of the 20th century when the business of flight was being handed over to the airship and the airplane.14.In his book "Falling Upwards"，Richard Holmes ______ ．A. uses the similar writing style of "The Age of Wonder"B. describes how people celebrated a village festivalC. gives firsthand accounts of Europe's early balloonistsD. discusses balloons used in war in a serious tone15.The highlight of Falling Upwards lies in ______ ．A. its vivid descriptions of balloonists' lifeB. its analyses of the serious uses of balloonsC. its reference to many historical resourcesD. its research on the ballooning technology16.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean？______A. Falling Upwards is an inspiring book but its price is a little high.B. To plete the book, Holmes received Montgolfier brothers' financial aid.C. It is a pity that the book doesn't introduce Montgolfier brothers in detail.D. It actually didn't take Holmes much work to write such a good book.CChina still dumps most of the garbage it generates in landfills, which could pollute soil, water and air. Today, China is facing a problem similar to the one Japan faced in the 1970s, especially in its coastal cities which have a relatively high economic growth rate and a large population but paratively limited land space, resulting in serious environmental pollution.China has just started its garbage sorting journey, and it will take time for the people to make it a habit of sorting garbage at source.Shanghai is among China's first cities to introduce garbage classification and also the country's most serious in its performing. Since July 1，2019，Shanghai residents have been required by law to sort garbage into four different categories, or they could face fines. Individuals, including tourists, can be fined up to 200 yuan for failing to sort their waste properly, while panies and institutions can be fined up to50，000 yuan.The city government has set up online apps to handle sorting questions, and announced guidelines to address the "onesizefitsall" method. The country is about to invest over 21 million yuan in the construction of garbage processing facilities to meet demands.Following Shanghai, Beijing is also pushing ahead with garbage sorting legislation（立法）in the continual national action to get all of China sorting garbage. Not forced yet, the Chinese capital is already carrying out garbage sorting in more than 200 residential munities and it's trying to get more residents on board by making the system smarter. Now it's introducing artificial intelligence into its waste management system, by setting up little cameras in many sets of bins. However, not every face can be recognized by the smart dustbin until you register（注册）for the system. Once registration is plete, users will scan a QR code on the bin, which then opens it up to allow for garbage disposal（处理）．Now, each household gets one special QR code for throwing out waste. Here, the intelligent bins don't just calculate garbage weight, they also help residents gain rewards bycollecting points through the special app.China weles the age of pulsory garbage sorting with its cities revising laws on garbage classification. For Shanghai, sixty percent of the city is expected to implement garbage sorting by the end of this year, and 90 percent by 2020．Garbage sorting is, without doubt, a costly but worthwhile mitment. It is good for the environment and essential for the country's longterm development, and may finally turn out to be a promising industry as well.17.What is the correct order in using smart garbage sorting system？______①Gain rewards②Open up the bin③Register for the system④Scan a QR code on the binA. ④②③①B. ③④②①C. ②④③①D. ④③②①18.What does the underlined word "implement" in the last paragraph mean？______A. engageB. enforceC. emphasizeD. encourage19.What can be inferred from the text？______A. If tourists forget to sort their waste properly, they will be fined 200 yuan.B. Residents in Beijing have to sort garbage into four different categories.C. The intelligent garbage bins can only show garbage weight.D. Garbage sorting can also bee a profitable business in future.20.Why does our country push ahead with pulsory garbage sorting？______A. To promote ecofriendly lifestyle.B. To build a garbage sorting system.C. To increase the use of artificial intelligence.D. To support the construction of garbage processing facilities.四、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Golden Rules of Good Design What makes good design？Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to capture the essentials of good design. (1) There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the Germanborn architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance. (2) Design should avoid unnecessary decorations.(3) The Americanborn architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is soulless design. PostModernist designers began to experiment with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen appliance such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product's function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. (4) For example, think of an adjustable desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to direct light where it is needed.Form follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger.(5) These are as important as rational（理性的）．When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a coollooking device that allows us to easily squeeze（挤）the toothpaste onto our brush.21.

While the basic idea of learning from failure is supported by evidence, most people fear it for their kids. No parent wants to see their children fail. Failing hurts. It is hard to see your daughter pour her heart into studying for a Math test, only to get aC．You want your children to succeed, but most of all you don't want to see them suffer.The world often sees children as a reflection of their parents. The mon belief is that when your teen fails, it reflects poorly on you. No one wants to be judged. As a result, parents slowly take over the responsibility of "managing" academics, athletics and relationships to prevent failure and pain.But failure is a part of growing. Even though you have the best intentions, you have to let your kids fail. Teaching your children about failure changes your relationship from a "Responsible for" mindset （心态）to one of "Responsible to." Rather than feeling responsible for your daughter and her actions, you feel responsible to teach and let her deal with the situation.Feeling "responsible for" children's actions can lead to parents overpensating（过度补偿）for real or potential weaknesses. Skills like conflict solution, problemsolving and dealing with authority figures are important development markers for teenagers. When parents overpensate for children's weaknesses they rob teens of opportunities to improve developmental skills.Feeling "responsible to" teach and guide children allows parents to create space for failure and challenges. Teenagers can then use this space to perfect these important developmental skills.Over time, the weaknesses bee strengths. When your children fail, you don't have to lower your standards for your kids, but you may have to change expectations. Remember, when you feel responsible to give your children more freedom, it changes how you deal with failure. Failure bees a stepping stone to success rather than something to be avoided.20202021学年上学期宣化一中高二英语期末试卷答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】考查名词的词义辨析．根据句意和备选项可知，使用名词appreciation,意为欣赏，为不可数名词，句意为一个人对文学的鉴赏力取决于他的审美知识水平．而assumption意为猜测；application运用；advocation支持，拥护．故选：C。

Abreu should focus his time on his study．B. Abreu is a very excellent student．C. Abreu often likes to show off in his class．D. Abreu has lost interest in his study to make community service．2.Why did Abreu work as a medical technician？______A. Because he loved being praised by other people．B. Because he didn't have time to do any other job．C. Because he desired to improve the lives of others．D. Because he hoped to try different types of jobs．3.What did Abreu get from his hard work？______A. It gave him a sense of self-worth by helping others．B. It made his family famous around the neighborhood．C. It gave him a chance to attend medical school for free．D. It made him a leader among his fellow school students．BAll eyes were on Jack Ma．The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd stepped down on Teachers' Day from leading the e-commerce giant he founded 20 years ago．"I still have lots of dreams to go after，" Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting．"The world is big，and I am still young，so I want to try new things．"The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party （欢送会）dressed up like a rock star．In fact，his rags-to-riches story is a good example of doing something different．Visiting the United States in 1995，Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website．In 1999，he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment，struggling for years to get it off the ground．With all the challenges，the company slowly brought e-commerce to China．Although his success has influenced a number of Chinese tech businessmen，Ma pointed out that thekey is having a dream．"It's the dreams that keep us never afraid of setbacks （挫折），" Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9．Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education．What can he offer？"I'm not gonna teach English；I'm not gonna teach business．But I'm gonna teach young people how to face challenges，" he told Bloomberg News．Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters．As Ma said，"Today is cruel．Tomorrow is crueler．But the day after tomorrow is beautiful．"4.What can we learn from Paragraph 4？______A.

Ma's retirement from Alibaba B．Great achievements of Ma D．Returning to EnglishteachingCA rainy day can be a chance to recharge．While you relaxed on the sofa with a movie，the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV．This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water．The technology is based on the triboelectric （摩擦电的）effect．An engineer at the University ofHawaii，David Ma knew that it's possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together．So，he thought，"Why don't we use water？"A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction （摩擦）to create an electrical charge．By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved，it should be possible to harvest electricity，he reasoned．It worked．In fact，the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop．This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction．Earlier experiments，though，harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water．There，the surface had acted as an electrode （电极）．This is different．The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself．"It turns out，" Ma says，"the charge in the water drop is much more than the charge produced in the other electrode．" In fact，his team's model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water．"The technology could someday power phones，sensors or other small electronics，" says Christopher Oshman，an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines．"This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us，including ourselves，to power the electronic devices we use every day，" he says．Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab，Oshman says．Next，the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale，such as on an umbrella．8.How does the author introduce the topic of the text？______A. By telling a story．B. By raising a question．C. By giving an example．D. By imagining a situation．9.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. The wire．B. The drop of water．C. The surface．D. The electricity．10.What is unique about Ma's technique compared with earlier experiments？______A. The water itself acts as an electrode．B. It is based on the triboelectric effect．C. It produces electricity from water-made friction．D. It uses a surface covered with two different materials．11.What does Oshman say about Ma's technology？______A. It has a promising future．B. It will do well on an umbrella．C. It works well in the real world．D. It will replace batteries someday．DDreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun？We've come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US．Cumberland Islands，GeorgiaJust a few hours south of Savannah，this national seashore is a wonderful picnic place．It's an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails （小径）．Covered in Spanish moss，the trails are lined with trees and since it's still a rural area，the stars line up for a grand show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity．Grant Park，ChicagoIf you are looking for delicious food in Chicago，go for a taste of a 20-day，lake-front，foodie festival that happens in October each year．Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic，appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends．If you are there on July 4th，be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier．Cranberry Islands，MaineHere，you'll enjoy natural picnics with island views．The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park．You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service．Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it's a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands．Big Sur，CaliforniaThe Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem．Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities，and unique geological formations．It's good to have a picnic there．We recommend bringing a telescope，because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance．12.Why does the writer advise us going to Cumberland Islands？______A.

Tails， my report would be about the great man who inven ted peanut butter， George Washington Carver．Weeks later， standing before this unfriendly mass， I was totally lost． Oh well， I lower ed the paper and sat down at my desk， burning to find out what I had done wrong． As a class mate began his report， it all became clear， "My report is on George Washington， the man who started the American Revolution．" The whole world became quiet!

2021年张家口市宣化一中高三英语第四次联考试卷及答案
2021年张家口市宣化一中高三英语第四次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn theUnited States, the word "holiday" is synonymous with celebration. The following tenholidaysper year are proclaimed by the federal government.Independence DayIndependence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as "the Fourthof July”. It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence fromGreat Britainin 1776. Now it is celebrated in all the states. The army marks the occasion by firing a 13-gun salute every year. Ceremonies may include parades, official speeches, visits to historic monuments and fireworks displays.Memorial DayThis holiday, on the fourth Monday of every May, is a day on which Americans honor the dead. Originally a day on which flags and flowers were placed on graves of soldiers who died in the American Civil War, now it has become a day on which the dead of all wars and all other dead are remembered the same way.Veterans DayVeterans Day was established to honor Americans who had served in World War I. It falls on November 11, the day when that war ended in 1918, but it now honors veterans of all wars in which the United States has fought Veterans' organizations hold parades or other special ceremonies, and the US president customarily places a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National.ThanksgivingThanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been an annual tradition in theUnited Statessince 1863. Today, people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner. Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce potatoes pumpkin pies. Before the meal begins, families often pause to give thanks.1. When isIndependence Day?A. May 14，B. July 13.C. July 14.D. July 4.2. Which holiday honors dead soliders?A. Independence Day.B. Memorial Day.C. Veterans Day.D. Thanksgiving.3. What will Americans do on Thanksgiving Day?A. They say thanks.B. They havefriend gatherings.C. They go on holiday.D. They buy many cards.BA Bridge Linking Art and the AudienceAccording to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feelintimidatedand think that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museumprogramming.But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.4. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?A. People doubt a great diversity of artworks.B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.C. Art appears too distant from common audience.D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.5. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Tired.B. Worried.C. Annoyed.D. Surprised.6. In the author’s opinion, the museums and galleries should ________.A. make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.B. change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.C. limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.D. improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.7. We can conclude from the passage that common audience ________.A. lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.B. prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.C. feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.D. refuses to engage with diverse art topics and art history stories.CCuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after itcomes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.8. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.A. science surveyB. nature magazineC. zoo advertisementD. travel journal9. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A. Animals that work together to raise young.B. Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.10. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.11. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg.DA Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed, aiming to cut the country's use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.Blue Aqua Internationalwill partner with Dnata, an air and travel services provider, to change organic waste at Singapore's Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural use, according to a statement Tuesday.The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed. The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then.

As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name - phubbers（低头族）.Recently,a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight.

She led the US to a silver medal finish and China to a gold medal triumph in the 2008 and 2016 Olympic Games, making her the first person to win Olympic volleyball gold as a player and coach.Lang Ping revealed the secret to such remarkable achievements in the documentary. "I believe volleyball was my destiny." she said.But glory and challenges go hand in hand. Troubled by severe injuries to her cervical vertebra（颈椎），back, waist and knees, caused by intense exercise and hard work, the 60-year-old has undergone more than 10 surgeries. "No parts of my body function well," she joked.But illness is certainly not the only difficulty Lang has faced throughout her career. In2005，she struggled with balancing raising her daughter Lydia Bai Lang, who lived in the US，and her coaching career, according to China Sports Daily. She eventually decided to work for USA Volleyball that year and this decision aroused a lot of negative comments back in China."I'm proud of being Chinese." Lang responded in an interview. Later, she returned to head the Chinese women's volleyball team in 2013，leading the team successfully defending its World Cup crown with a perfect record of 11 straight wins last year.There is no doubt that Lang is one of the greatest players and coaches in history.

To acknowledge Lang Ping's status and achievements.DHumans are no strangers to widespread viruses, and each time a vaccine（疫苗）is developed, it gives us hope for the future. Now, the world is waiting for a vaccine to fight COVID-19.Scientists worldwide have been rolling up their sleeves to work toward an effective novel coronavirus vaccine.Under the coordination（协调）of the World Health Organization（WHO），up to 172 countries have been engaging with the "largest and most diverse COVID-19 vaccine portfolio（组合）"，a plan known as the COVAX Global Vaccines Facility.COVAX is a system for joint purchasing and balancing the risks of multiple vaccines. When a vaccine proves to be safe and effective, all countries within the facility will be able to access it, according to Xinhua.The plan is aimed to ensure that all countries,no matter their economic status,can get the vaccine in a timely manner when one is available. It also makes sure that prices will be kept as low as possible. "A number of vaccines are now in the final stage of clinical trials," said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Aug 24，adding that the goal of COVAX is to deliver at least 2 billion doses of a vaccine by the end of 2021.According to the WHO，at present, nine potential vaccines are part of the portfolio. To guarantee the equal access and fair assignment of COVID-19 vaccines, the WHO has said that the world needs to prevent vaccine nationalism - countries putting their own interests ahead of others in trying to secure supplies of a possible vaccine."Vaccine nationalism only helps the virus," Tedros said, warning that it would lead to a prolonged pandemic（疫情）if only a small number of countries got most of the supply."Like an orchestra, we need all instruments to be played in harmony to create music that everyone enjoys," he said.Vaccine development looks promising,as several countries have made great progress. Russia began production of its first batch of a COVID-19 vaccine on Aug15，according to its health ministry. It's the world's first registered vaccine. Four Chinese vaccine candidates have started international stage-3 clinical trials.12.Which of the following is true according to the passage？______A. Russia is the first country to have made progress in fighting COVID-19.B. COVAX ensures all the countries get the vaccine at the same time.C. WHO plays an important role in fighting COVID-19.D. Scientist have produced 2 billion doses of vaccines.13.What can we infer from the passage？______A. COVAX aims to ensure all countries can get the vaccine when one is available.B. Tedros is critical of nationalism.C. The author are anxious about the development of vaccines.D. China has made no progress in vaccine development.14.Tedros compared fighting COVID-19 to an orchestra to ______ .A. show his deep love for musicB. make the passage more interestingC. illustrate the similarities in betweenD. stress the importance of cooperation15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. United for vaccineB. Vaccine on the wayC. Fighting against COVID-19D. Say goodbye to COVID-19二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Five steps to better handwriting Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper.

2020-2021学年张家口宣化区第一中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案解析
2020-2021学年张家口宣化区第一中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASpeaking with people on the phone is pretty rare these days. Most people use e-mail or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking over the phone.Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, although people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia. When speaking face-to-face, we give off lots of facial or bodily cues that help each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking into this void（真空）makes people terrified that they will freeze up, stumble over their words（失言）, or lose control of the conversation and look foolish In fact, telephobia is very similar to thefear people feel before putting on a performance in front of a big audience. However, there are things that one suffering from thin condition can do to reduce this fear and make phone calls at least somewhat bearable.One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call in smile. It may sound silly, but smiling before doing something stressful can help you feel more relaxed. It won't delete the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it.Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. Running through a positive conversation in your head will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems. There's no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes thinking up a general idea of what you want to say. You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points. This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself naturally.And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don't always have to pick up. There's nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.So the next time your phone starts ringing, remember—speaking on the phone doesn't have to make you sweat. The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.1. According to the article, which situation can cause a feeling similar lo telephobia?A.Speaking face-to-face to a good friend.B. Performing in front of a large audience.C. Running in a race without proper shoes.D. Using a messaging app while on the subway.2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to deal with telephobia?A.Imagining how the call will go before you make it.B. Standing on the edge of a tall building while making a call.C. Calling someone back later instead of answering their phone calls right away.D. Writing down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points.3. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present ways to ease telephobia.B. To explain the development of telephobiaC. To introduce the influence of telephobia.D. To give the reason why someone suffers from telephobia.BThe idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardshipand are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”4. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.5. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.7. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.CThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will givethem the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.8. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.9. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.10. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.11. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.DOnce a rich and clever boy had practically everything a boy could want, so he was not interested in most toys. But he couldn't get a very old mirror, and heconvinced his parents to buy it from mysterious（神秘的）old man. When the mirror arrived home, the boy went to see his reflection in it. His face looked very sad indeed. He tried smiling and making funny faces, but his reflection continued with its sad expression. "What a terrible mirror! It's the first time I've seen a mirror that didn't work properly!" the boy jumped violently.That same afternoon he went into the street to play and bought a few toys, but on his way to the park he saw a little girl who was crying her heart out. The girl was crying so much and looked so lonely that the rich boy went over to help her and to see what had happened. The little girl told him that she had lost her parents.Together the two set off in search of the parents. As the little girl wouldn't stop crying, the boy spent his money buying her sweets to cheer her up. Finally, after much walking, they found her parents who were much worried and were looking for her everywhere.The rich boy said goodbye to them. As it was getting late, he decided to head for home, without being able to play. At home, he went to his room, and noticed a shining light in the corner, the same corner he had left the mirror in. Seeing this, he went over to the mirror, and realised that the light was coming from his own body, so radiant（闪亮的）with happiness he had become.And so he understood the mystery of that mirror, the only mirror which could faithfully reflect the true joy of its owner. He realised it was true. He felt very happy at having helped that little girl. And since then, each morning when he looked in that mirror and failed to see a special shine, he knew what he had to do to bring it back.12.

She couldn't get the mysterious mirror.C. Her parents couldn't buy toys for her.D. The boy refused to give his toys to her.14. What could the boy see in the mirror after he went back from the park?A. A shining toy.B. A broken mirror.C. His happy face.D. The lovely girl.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To tell us a horrible story.B. To introduce to us a strange mirror.C. To warn us not to be selfish.D. To encourage us to help others.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
