2022-2023学年河南省洛阳市高二(下)期中英语试卷(含答案)

2022-2023学年河南省洛阳市高二(下)期中英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________AFour Excellent Museums for Kids to ExploreAn injection of knowledge,LeedsThe Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is giving a huge makeover recently.It features a Victorian street full of real smells and bugs,and presents shows of the impact of some terrible infectious diseases- cholera and smallpox before vaccinations.There are talks,displays,games as well as some information about health heroes over the years.Adults:12;children aged 5-15:10;children under 5:free.Follow that train,Walthamstow,LondonA huge steam engine stands at the entrance to the small,indoor-outdoor Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum.Two 1967 Victoria Line carriages sit side by side with the cabs open to the would-be train drivers.Fireman Frank displays the fire engine featured in TV programs such as London's Burning.Free entrance.Life through a lens,EdinburghThe Camera Obscura and World of Illusions experience in Edinburgh presents a unique view of the city in the past.With over 100 interactive exhibits on five floors,it is completely kid-friendly with no "don't touch" signs.There's a perspective room where younger children can dance with their own shadow,match their face with a monkey's,serve their head on a plate and even lie on a shark.Adults:16;children aged 5 - 15:12;children under 5:free.Go back in time,Chichester,West SussexAnybody who wants to see,touch and even smell what life was like in ancient times should head to the Weald and Downland Living Museum-a museum with rural buildings ranging from early medieval England to the Victorian Age,and a multisensory,living presentation.There are also farm animals to visit,a wood and playground to burn off energy,and traditional games in one big house if it rains. Family tickel:42.1. What is on show in the Thackray Museum of Medicine recently?______A. Information of inventors.B. Some epidemics years ago.C. Streets of the Victorian period.D.

Learning about life in the ancient times.BI worked as a bartender/waitress at a bar inside an upscale health-food grocery store (it's a real thing,I promise).Most of our customers were well-off retirees.Generally a nice group of customers,but definitely rich uptight people.Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium (钠)intake.It was St.Patrick's Day.Needless to say,it was an crazy evening with me rushing around serving corned beef and cabbage pouring Guinness.For some reason,the bar supervisor always liked to have food specials on display for people to see.While I got the concept,it generally just caused us to get mean looks when we told people they probably shouldn't eat it.As the night was beginning to slow down,I had an older couple sit at the only open seats -next to our food displays.I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I'd be right with them when a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying,dropping right into the food display.The 12-hour-old gravy and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them and flew up,then dropped -right into the man's lap.I was horrified and apologizing profusely (不停地)while trying to set down the mountain of dishes.The man looked up at me and said "I just have one thing to tell you."He slowly leaned in-at which point I was thinking he was about to spit in my face-and he said "I don't have to hiccup (打嗝)anymore.You scared it away."It was the laugh I needed that night and he wouldn't even let me give him a free beer as an apology.4. What's the purpose of writing Paragraph 2?______A. To tell senior citizens prefer food low in salt.B. To show the service was a hard balancing act.C. To complain the customers are difficult to deal with.D. To prove the rich retirees are particular about food.5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?______A. Customers might want to eat the food on show.B. The author was not working busily on that day.C. The author approved of laying out the food special.D. Waiters and waitresses were often looked down on.6. Why did the author apologize?______A. For her tolerance.B. For her ignorance.C. For her carelessness.D. For her misunderstanding.7. What idea does the author mainly convey by sharing her experience?______A. You should compromise sometimes.B. Conflicts are well-resolved by laugh.C. You should apologize when necessary.D. Forgiveness can bring pleasure in life.CIn the past months,humans have become quite familiar with the term "social distancing".But it turns out that we are not the only ones to avoid contacting our peers when our health may be at risk:Research suggests honeybees do it,too. "It's exciting to see that other animals are doing something analogous",saidDr.Alessandro Cini,co-author of the research at University College London. Scientists have found that when a hive(蜂箱)of honeybees is under threat from the mite (螨虫)called Varroa destructor,which can cause the collapse of honeybee colonies,the bees will respond by changing the way they interact with one another. By examining videos recorded inside the hives,the researchers found that when hives had mites,foraging(觅食的)bees performed important dances to indicate the direction of food sources and kept themselves away from the centre of the colony where young bees and the queen stayed.This may help to keep the infection at a level that can be controlled,limiting the amount of damage. "Foragers are one of the main entrance routes for the mites," said Cini.The team then carried out experiments in the laboratory,artificially infecting small groups of about 12 young bees with the mites and comparing them to uninfected groups.This time the team found no increase in social distancing among infected groups-which,says Cini,may reflect that it is more important for foragers and young bees to keep their distance when the mites are present and that bees rely on one another."Probably social distancing is too costly on a small scale," he said.But there were differences in grooming(梳理)behaviour:Infected bees were groomed more,inspected more,and had food shared with them more than individuals in uninfected groups.Cini said the study showed the power of natural selection in the evolution of social behavior and also dynamic change in the social behaviour to adapt to anever-changing environment.8. What does the underlined word "analogous" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?______A. Similar.B. Adventurous.C. Meaningful.D. Creative.9. Why did foraging bees keep away from the center of the colony?______A. To quickly locate the food.B. To show respect for the queen.C. To minimize the potential risk.D. To shorten the entrance route.10. When do honeybees keep social distancing?______A. When mites appear among them.B. When they're artificially infected.C. When they depend on each other.D. When they're compared with others.11. What does the text mainly talk about?______A. Honeybees are able to communicate.B. Honeybees proved to be more social.C. Honeybees also have strict social rules.D. Honeybees also use social distancing.DMany contemporary amateur athletes would have broken world records if they had taken part in the first Olympic Games.Since then,records have fallen in track and field year after year as athletic performances have continually improved.Some experts predict a ceiling for many events such as 9.5 seconds for the 100 metres.However,past predictions have nearly always been proved wrong.When we talk about breaking records,we come across the issue ofperformance-enhancing drugs.These drugs are originally developed to help people with illnesses,but in the wrong hands,they create supreme athletes making them faster and stronger than is normal for human beings.Taking these drugs is known as "doping".The sports world does not tolerate doping as it is a fundamental form ofcheating.Ben Johnson would still be the 100 metres world record holder if he hadnot been caught taking drugs in the 1988 Olympics.Other records remain doubtful,like Florence Griffith's 100 metres record back in 1988.Did she take drugs?Unfortunately,it is not easy to catch athletes using illegal drugs.It is compulsory for winners to be tested but other participants are only tested at random.However,doping is not the only thing we need to worry about.Unless we are careful,"gene-therapy" will be the next big threat.For medical purposes,scientists have already found ways to build muscle and increase strength by changing people's genes.Gene-therapy is very controversial and many people oppose further research into it.If gene-therapy were used now,it would be almost impossible to find out.In the future,athletes who have their genes changed might be able to do the 100 metres dash in just 8 seconds.However,if a generation of sports stars with enhanced genes were created,it would contradict the whole spirit of sport.The Olympic spirit-the spirit of competition which emphasizes taking part ratherthan winning-has been violated by the desire to succeed at all costs.In today's world,winners are celebrated and treated as heroes,but if doping and gene-therapy continue to affect the outcomes of major sporting events,the word "hero" will have lost all meaning.12. What has happened to track and field since the first Olympics?______A. More supreme athletes have appeared.B. Athletic performances have been recorded.C. More athletes have risked breaking the law.D. Past predictions have always proved wrong.13. What's the author's purpose of mentioning Ben Johnson and Florence Griffith?______A. To explain different forms of cheating at that time.B. To emphasize their roles in the athletic performances.C. To clarify how super athletes influence world records.D. To show how drugs affected world records in the 1980s.14. Why was "gene-therapy" found?______A. For enhanced genes.B. For health purpose.C. For medical research.D. For improving performances.15. What would be a suitable title for the passage?______A. 100 Meters in 8 Seconds?B. To Change Genes Or Not?C. Doping-A Huge Problem?D. Gene-therapy-A New Threat?A study came out just a few days ago that found people who eat healthily about 80 percent of the time have a high protection on brain health. (1)______It doesn't mean that you should just go to crazy 80% of the time.But be more aware that you are more likely to stick to a healthy lifestyle if there's some relaxation here and there.That's all part of living.My name is Mark Mailstein and I'm a brain health researcher and the author of The Age-proof Brain.(2)______For breakfast,I try to eat oatmeal(麦片粥).Usually it's the quick,the instant,but make sure that it's not the type with any added sugar. (3)______And then lunch and dinner.I pretty much try to keep really simple.I will look at my plate and have some sort of lean meat.I eat a lot of fish and chicken.And I really just try to think of mixed vegetables,like really colorful plates of fruits,vegetables you know. (4)______ There are these interesting studies that show it's the combinations of different types of vegetables,so I try to mix them in. Sometimes I think something that might be surprising is that I might have a smoothie (奶昔)for dinner as a way to get all those vegetables in.My go-to smoothie is that I take broccoli (西兰花). (5)______ And I throw carrots and all sorts of vegetables in there.A.I really like sweet potatoes.B.They scored really high on memory tests.C.I try to keep it pretty simple in terms of eating.D.Your diet can definitely improve your brain health.E.There's more evidence that you get more brain health benefit.F.People always ask what's the best fruit and vegetable for my brain.G.So,no additive because we know those additives are not beneficial for brain health.16.

You would be pretty mad if you found out the pill was not a real medication, wouldn’t you? Better yet, imagine the doctor tells you the pill is fake. At that point, you’d probably question whether the doctor even know s his staff at all. But wait, there’s more to the story.Ted Kaptchuk of Harvard University conducted an experiment to helptreat irritable bowel syndromepain in 2010, in which he clearly marked the patients ‘pills as “placebo”, or fake. Unbelievably, the group that was aware that it was receiving the placebo reported significant improvement in their condition.Many of you probably know about the placebo effect. It’s the idea that giving patients an ineffective treatment -such as a sugar pill-for their condition might actually produce beneficial effects.Why does it work? We don’t really know. One theory is that the placebo causes your brain to have a response that flows down to other parts of the body. Placebos presented as stimulantstend to increase the heart rate and blood pressure, and those presented as depressants do the opposite.In fact, the placebo effect can be compared to the experience of watching a horror movie. Although you know that what you’re seeing isn’t actually real, you most likely experience some pretty real effects such as increase in the heart rate and sweating.Kaptchuk’s work differed from the traditional placebo effect, in that he told the patients that the pill they were receiving was not real medicine. When the patients have th is knowledge, the term” pen-label placebo” is used. The resulting improvement’ proved that in many cases, patients don’t need to be tricked in order for the desired effects of a placebo to take place. In fact, the fake medication helped some patients so much that they requested additional pills after the experiment was over.Of course, the natural question is: was this an extraordinary medicalphenomenon, or just plain luck? That’s why Kaptchuk and his team are attempting to do a seven-week trial before introducing the results to cancer survivors to treat severe tiredness caused by the aftereffects of the disease.(1)The first paragraph of the article implies that .A . doctors have poor medical ethicsB . fake medicines are sold in hospitalsC . patients don’t really trust doctorsD . we may have a wrong idea of fake pills(2)According to the passage, “the placebo effect” refers to the idea of .A . taking fake pills to feel much betterB . using sugar pills to treat the patientsC . benefiting patients with real medicinesD . treating patients in an ineffective way(3)What is the writer going to discuss next?A . Why does the placebo effect work in real life?B . How will they carry out the seven-week trial?C . Will a fake medication really exist in the world?D . Are patients being totally treated with fake pills?3. 阅读理解UnderOhio law, a driver can have 12 points’ worth of violations within two yearsbefore his license is automatically suspended. That is, he could be caught going30 miles over the limit three times or cause several accidents resulting incareless-driving charges before losing the right to drive. Should he commitvehicular manslaughter, his license would besuspended, but he could get it back in as little as six months. Other stateshave similarly forgiving laws. Considering that 94 percent of crashes involvesome form of driver error orinjury immediately before crashes you have towonder. Are we too tolerant of bad driving-or is the problem more basic? Are we,as humans, simply not suitable for the task?Accordingto one analysis, 4 million of the nearly 11 million crashes that occur yearlycould potentially be avoided if distractions were removed. But instead, weactively seek out distractions, like texting. Analysis of 28 studies confirmsthat typing or reading on our phones while driving badly affects reaction time,vehicle control, and, yes, collision rate. Some researchers have concluded thattexting while driving may cause more of an accident risk than driving eitherunder the influence of marijuana or at the legal alcohol limit. And,contrary to a generally accepted idea, teenagers aren’t the primary offenders: Asurvey of more than 2, 000 adults suggests that they are just as likely asteens to have texted behind the wheel, and much more likely to have talked ontheir cellphone.Thatisn’t to say we’re all equally bad in the driver’s seat. Perhaps unsurprisingly,people who report becoming angry while driving are more likely than others tobehave recklesslyon the road. So are people who drive fancy cars. In one pair of studies, researchers observedthat drivers of expensive cars were less likely than those with older, lessexpensive, or beat-up vehicles to give way to other drivers and pedestrians.Driverlesscars are looking better and better. They won’t text wi th each other, or getangry. And they won’t cut you off just for the hell of it.(1)If a driver is going 70 mph in a 40 mph zone in Ohio, how many pointsmay he lose?A . 10 points.B . 8 points.C . 6 points.D . 4 points.(2)Which of the following causes the most accidents according to Paragraph 2?A . Texting while driving.B . Driving at the legal alcohol limit.C . Talking on a cellphone while driving.D . Driving under the influence of marijuana.(3)Which of the following statements is True according to Paragraph 3?A . People driving older vehicles are more likely to behave recklessly.B . People driving fancy cars are more likely to behave recklessly.C . People driving beat-up vehicles are more likely to behave recklessly.D . People driving less expensive vehicles are more likely to behave recklessly.(4)What might be the author’s attit ude to driverless cars?A . Cautious.B . Doubtful.C . Uninterested.D . Supportive.4. 阅读理解Asprices drop and their functionality expands, you can expect to see humanoidrobots in more places, includingschools, airports, and hospitals. Will they influence human behavior?In astudy published recently, scientists found that mean robots can help peopleconcentrate. The experiment, published in Science Robotics, was based onsomething called the Stroop T ask, which is widely used in psychology anddescribed as the”gold standard” of attentional tests. It challengesparticipants to name the colors of words and ignore their meanings whilecalculating reaction time.Theresearchers put a modern twist on the task, though-this time, there was a robotin the room. The goal was to see if the presence of a robot would affectcognition, and the researchersfound it did, but only when the robot was mean.Howdo you make a robot mean? In this case, a meter-tall toy robot called aMeccanoid G15KS was made to respond to seven questions. The good robots toldjokes, spoke about friendship, and described test subjects as nice. The badrobots replied to questions with passive aggressive comebacks, such as” Ienjoy doing analysis programs but you would not understand” and statementslike” I do not value friendship. “Then the participants rated therobots.” The more participants thought the robot made them uncomfortable, thegreater the improvement of their Stroop performance was, “the researcherswrote.” Not surprisingly, the bad robot was rated a s less warm, friendlyand pleasant than the good robot. “Thestudy authors argue that robots are crossing the line in some situations frommachines to social agents.
