浙江省宁波六校2021-2022学年高二下学期期中联考英语试卷(含答案)
浙江省宁波六校2021-2022学年高二下学期期中联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Children born in 2020 will experience extreme climate events at a rate that is two to seven ties higher than people born in 1960, according to a new study in the journal Science.With the current rate of global warming and national policies that fail to make necessary cut in pollution, climate events such as heat waves will continue to rise, scientists say. That leaves children of younger generations facing “a severe threat” to their safety, according to the study’s authors.The study researched extreme climate events such as heat waves, droughts, crop failures, floods and wildfires. Researchers used recent data from a 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that included information on global life expectancy(寿命), population trends and possible changes of global temperatures.The forecasts for how these events could completely affect younger generations were rather surprising. The scientists compared a person born in 1960 with a child who was 6 years old in 2020. The 6-year-old will experience twice as many typhoons and wildfires, three times as many river floods, four times as manycrop failures and five times as many droughts. Heat waves, though, will be the most extreme climate event, with 36 times as many occurring for the 6-year-old.The study also shows that extreme weather events could affect younger generations in various places of the world differently. People who were younger than 25 years old by 2020 in the Middle East and North Africa will likely experience more exposure(暴露) to extreme climate events compared with other places. The researchers say overall, younger generations in lower-income countries will experience the worsening climate at a higher rate than those in wealthier countries.The data from the study shows how limiting the increase in global warming and adapting the Paris climate accord(协议) are beneficial, the researchers argue. But even then, younger generations are still l eft “extreme event exposure that never happen before,” they write.1、What does “a severe threat” in Para 2 probably meanA. An unexpected event.B. A tough struggle.C. An urgent action.D. A serious danger.2、What can we infer from Para 5A. Younger generations in lower-income nations will be most affected.B. Young people under 25 are less likely to experience extremeclimate events.C. Climate in lower-income countries will be worse than that in wealthier countries.D. Extreme climate will definitely destroy the life of people in lower-income countries.3、Which of the following is likely to have a positive effect on the climate problemA. Fighting global warming at any cost.B. Making use of energy resources without limitation.C. Adapting international policies concerning climate.D. Letting go of the development of lower-income countries.A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-crit icism. “I can’t stop beating myself up.” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening ”Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame.We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there issomething else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind-set” research, which has found that praising chi ldren for effort will increase academic performance. But a 2018 analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy, and th at where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature.The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way ofsucker-punching (出其不意地击打) us when we least expect it. It’soften the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who gets up the fastest.4、What can we learn from paragraph 4A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids.B. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance.C. The result of the “mind-set” research doesn’t apply to all cases.D. Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends.5、According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in lifeA. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause that they truly love.B. By discouraging them from working hard.C. By choosing where to go to college for them.D. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality.6、What can be inferred from the passageA. Students don’t care about failur e at all.B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.C. Students should bear all the failures on their own.D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.Rising global meat consumption is likely to have a destructiveenvironmental effect, increasing carbon emissions(排放) and reducing biodiversitiy (生物多样性), scientists have warned.A new analysis suggests that meat consumption is set to climb sharply as the world population increases along with average individual incomes.“What's happening is a big concern.” said Tim Key from the University of Oxford. “On a broad level you can say it is bad for the environment.”The review, published in the journal Science, found that high levels of meat consumption also have negative health consequences, leading to an increased risk of cancer and other diseases.The average amount of meat consumed per person globally has nearly doubled in the past 50 years, which means total meat production has been growing much faster than the rate of population growth, having increased four-or five-fold(五倍) since 1961.There are recent indications that some countries, including the U.K., may have reached "peak meat". The U.K's 2017 National Food Survey found meat consumption have fallen by 4.2% and that of meat products by nearly 7% since 2012. However, middle-income countries, particularly China and others in East Asia, are still seeing a rise. A recent review by the UN outlines how meatproduction-particularly livestock(家畜)—is linked to far higher carbon emissions than vegetables, fruit and grain.Livestock farming is also a major contribution to biodiversity loss, as forests and wild land are given over to agricultural land to grow animal feed.Processed meat has been ranked by the WHO alongside alcohol and tobacco as cancer causes. According to research of cancer, if no one ate processed or red meat in Britain, there would be 8,800 fewer cases of cancer a year.7、What's the environmental effect of eating meatA. Raising livestock may destroy grasslands and forests.B. Eating meat leads to the increase of human population.C. Meat production adds to the amount of carbon emissions on Earth.D. Keeping too much livestock destroys the balance of nature.8、What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer toA. Eating huge amounts of meat.B. Increasing carbon emissions in the air.C. Reducing diversity of plants.D. Risking developing cancer.9、How does livestock lead to biodiversity lossA. People farm forests and wild land to grow food for livestock.B. Plants and animals die from carbon released by livestock.C. Many plants and animals have become food for livestock.D. Farm animals have consumed what humans use for food.10、How does the WHO value processed meatA. It's a necessary part of human diet.B. It's like cigarettes and alcohol which can cause cancer.C. It can reduce carbon release.D. It contributes to the fall of meat consumption.二、七选五11、Not all lessons can be learnt in a classroom environment. Overall development of students demands that they get the opportunity to participate in after-class activities in school.①________ Students are given a chance to join in activities like sports, art, music, etc, and they can get the required break from dull classroom learning.In some schools, participating in these activities is made compulsory while some keep it voluntary for students. There is a common mistaken belief that these events are not as important as regular learning. ②________ Here is what students could learn by participating in them.③________ These are skills that are essential to meet the demands of a busy working life and are best if developed early. As adults, they'll need to schedule several tasks in professional and personallife reasonably.Just as classrooms have different subjects to teach students, after class activities in school also give them a chance to explore new kinds of art and sports. ④_______Participating in after-class activities in school requires the students to commit to them for some time. Through this they learn the concept of long-term commitment. ⑤________Participating in particular events in school trains the child to make commitments sensibly and to stick to them.A. This gives them required discipline.B. It directs their attention in the wrong direction.C. Active participation will help to raise self-respect.D. This helps them understand where their interest lies.E. Students can learn to manage their time and priorities.F. This is why some top schools aim for a perfect balance.G. Contrarily, they develop qualities in students like team spirit.三、完形填空（20空）We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that often seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus, we are sometimes affected by 1 or anxiety impacting our life.

AFour books that will inspire you to travel the world There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess WalterThis book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $28.90SEATTLE: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria SempleMaria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as selfinvolved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $26.60ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary MantelYou can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prizewinning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin HilderbrandElin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest book is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, isa great beach book. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $30.8021. Which book has been produced into a film according to the text?A. Here's to Us.B. Wolf Hall.C. Beautiful Ruins.D. Where'd You Go, Bernadette.22. What is the feature of the Where'd You Go, Bernadette?A. Its low price.B. Its characters.C. Its content about love.D. Its storytelling and laughs.23. Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach?A. Because it's about the author’s hometo wn island.B. Because it needs a time machine.C. Because it's about ancient buildings.D. Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.BIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked(轻抚) her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't somereward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.24. What is the author's wish to his daughter?A. Getting a good job in the future.B. Making many friends in her school.C. Traveling around the world in her life.D. Having a happy life ever after.25. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.B. Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.C. There are times that life goes against us.D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.26. How to get happiness in author's opinion?A. Reward yourself once a day.B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.C. Get rid of those disturbing things.D. Take charge of your life independently.27. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the significance of love.B. To describe a daughter's growth.C. To introduce the definition of love.D. To tell a young father's experience.CTablets（平板电脑） are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的） phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, dueto their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”28. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.29. What can we learn from Denison’s words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.30. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. completeB. properC. imperfectD. normal31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of foldable phones.B. The coming of foldable devices.C. Popular devices on the market.D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.DBlue Planet II's latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，plastics used by consumers are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者）, at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is. We know how topick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理） of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag. But when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference．32.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics．D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up．33.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics．B. By quotations from leading experts．C. By using examples from his own experience．D. By comparison and contrast．34.What can we infer about climate change ?A. Climate change is caused by human activities．B. Climate change is not as simple as ocean pollution．C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution．D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change．35.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean pollution is a global issue．B. The oceans become choked with plastic．C.

Spoke highly of.C. Depended on.D. Kept track of.CThis passage is to talk about expressions related to keeping on time.To help us plan our time，we use tools-namely clocks and watches.When an event is very regular，we can say we could"set our watch by it".And that is our first expression—to set your watch by something.You might hear someone using it like this：Regina leaves her house to go to work every weekday at exactly 7 a.m.-never a minute earlier or later.You can set your watch by it.This means she sticks to her plan no matter what happens，This expression can also describe someone who is always on time.They are reliable and punctual（准时的）—like in this example：Mary：John said he'd be here at 3 p.m.and it's2：45 p.m.If he's late，we'll miss our train!Jack：Don't worry.If John said he will be here，then he will be here.He's always right on time.You could set your watch by him.Now，let's talk about clocks；devices that tell time.Some events or activities happen easily and on time.And some systems operate without a problem.If everything is going as planned，we can say it is"running like clockwork".Clockwork is a system of wheels and springs inside mechanical clocks.The term means something that is carefully made and runs smoothly（顺利地）and on time.For example，once，I ran a two-week teacher training class.It took a lot of work to organize and had things that needed to be done.But I'm happy to say that the training ran like clockwork!The expression"run like clockwork"can also mean to operate，manage，control，of direct something in a very smooth，efficient（高效的），trustworthy manner，Used this way，a noon or pronoun is used between"run"and"like clockwork".Here is an example：When the new manager took over，he wanted to run the office like clockwork.So，he made the workers have lunch at a set time every day.8.What is a man like if we can set our watch by him？______A. He treats others nicely.B. He behaves honestly.C. He takes everything seriously.D. He does things exactly on time.9.What does Jack think of John in the example？______A. He will certainly keep his word.B. He always plans things carefully.C. He shouldn't have made such a promise.D. He sometimes fails to do things on time.10.Which statement matches the two-week teacher training class？______A. It was not well organized actually.B. It was completed as scheduled.C. It ended much better than expected.D. It brought the author great confidence.11.Why did the new manager set lunchtime for his employees？______A. To save enough time for work.B. To show his personal power.C. To run the company smoothly.D. To make his workers eat well.DNew research suggests that even a simple exercise program might help older people with light memory problems.Doctors have long advised patients to do physical activity to help keep their brains healthy.But theernment-supported research marks the longest study of whether exercise makes any difference once memory starts to decline（下降）.Researchers found around 300 inactive older adults with memory changes called mild cognitive impaiment（MCl）（轻度认知功能障碍）.Half of the older adults did exercises，and the rest did stretching and balance movements that raised their heart rates a little.After a year，testing of mental activity showed neither group had worsened.Brain scans（扫描）did not show the decline that often goes with worsening memory problems.By comparison，similar MCI patients in another long-term study of brain health—but without exercise—experienced cognitive，or mental，decline over a year.The early findings are surprising.But the National Institute on Aging said that tracking non-exercisers in the same study would have offered better evidence.The results suggest this is double for everybody—not just seniors healthy enough to work up a hard sweat.How much and what kind of exercise？In the study，seniors were supposed to get moving for 30 to 45minutes four times a week.It did not matter whether it was exercise on the running machine or stretching exercises.Experts believe the social connection with the trainers helped.Each participant completed over 100 hours of exercise."We wouldn't have done the exercise on our own."said Doug Maxwell of Verona，Wisconsin，who joined the study with his wife.The husband and wife，both 81，attended the stretching classes.They felt so good afterward that when the study ended，they bought electric bikes in the hope of even more activity.12.Which of the following took part in the study according to paragraph 3？______A. Old people in good health.B. Old people doing no exercise.C. Old people with serious illnesses.D. Old people with light memory problems.13.Which statement agrees with the findings of the study？______A. Exercise is good for all seniors.B. The elderly especially need exercise.C. Seniors should exercise until they sweat.D. Exercise can quickly improve memory.14.What is Doug Maxwell's attitude toward the study？______A. Uncaring.B. Unsupportive.C. Doubtful.D. Appreciative.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______A. Exercise Is Better than MedicineB. Proper Exercise Is a Must for the ElderlyC. Simple Exercise Can Slow Memory LossD. Memory Loss Is Becoming a Threat to SeniorsThe middle of May is one of my favorite times of the year here in the mountains of my home.The trees are all full of light green(16) that are almost golden in the sunshine.It 's not too(17) yet.The air is cooland(18) .Mommy and Daddy birds are building nests（巢）and(19) babies.Butterflies，bees and even hummingbirds are(20) about from flower to flower.And the sweet sound of birdsong is(21) with the laughter of children playing outside.There is one(22) part about it，however.There comes a time when I have to clean up my yard and(23) my buttercups（金凤花）.I always say(24) to them when I cut them down but I am encouraged in seeing that each spring there are even more of them.It (25) with just a few buttercups in my yard here and there but now the front part of my yard is(26) filled with them.Each year their seeds（种子）(27) and they grow more and more，making the next spring more(28) than the last.It is not just in my yard.I see them in the grassland，the cow fields and along thesides of the roads.Each year I(29) this beautiful day，this beautiful world，and this beautiful life.Our lives are a lot like these(30) as well.I often encourage people to freely add their love and joy to the world，but the(31)is that it isn't just addition.It is multiplication（乘法）.Each smile you share(32) the smiles of others.Each kind thing you do inspires(33) in others.Each loving choice you make helps others to choose(34) too.Our lives are like buttercups spreading seeds of love and beauty and(35) this world a better place.16.

第二节（满分15分）There are many scientists who have driven social development,among whom,the one I admire most is Yuan Longping,known as the"father of hybrid rice".A few decades ago,food shortage threatened Chinese people.After years of study, Yuan Longping successfully developed the world's first hybrid rice to increase rice production,which serves as a solution to food problems around the globe.There is no doubt that his contribution is of great significance.His story gives me inspiration and motivates me to love science.第三节（满分25分）Looking around,she noticed a woman standing meters away talking on the phone. Helen ran towards her,shouting aloud for help.The woman sensed the urgency in Helen’s voice and called911immediately.With considerable effort,they lifted the old man back onto the bench and anxiously waited for the ambulance.When it finally arrived,Helen volunteered to accompany the old man to the hospital.No sooner had they reached the hospital than she realized that it was the same hospital where her mother was treated.A short time later,Dr.Smith,who happened to be in attendance that day,came rushing into the emergency room."He's my dad!Where did you find him?"Dr.Smith cried.Helen then told him the whole story.Moved to tears,Dr.Smith insisted on personally covering all expenses for Helen's mother's operation,ensuring that she would receive the care she desperatelyneeded.Feeling grateful,Helen expressed her heartfelt thanks but promised to pay the money back bit by bit.With proper treatment and good care,Helen's mother recovered soon.Through this unexpected encounter,Helen learned that kindness not only touches hearts but also has the power to create unexpected bonds that can change lives for the better.录音原文Text1W:Diego,have you showered yet?M:I’ll shower tomorrow morning,Mom.I’m so tired and want to go to bed.W:You played basketball for hours after school!It would be best if you wash up before bed.(1)Text2W:How was your trip to the pet store,Jim?What did you get?M:I got a dog and a bird!I’m going to name him Milo,and the dog Flynn!(2)Text3M:What happened to my cup?W:I knocked it off the table by accident and it broke.(3)I’m really sorry.M:Don’t worry about it.I’ve got another one I can use.Text4M:I’ve been a public official,supporting this city’s local government for over50 years.It’s an honor to see everyone here celebrate this day.W:Of course,Mr.Paterson.We’re proud to offer you this medal of service as a gift when you retire.(4)M:Thank you,Maddie.Text5W:When the wave comes,lie on the board and get ready.Once the wave gets higher, quickly stand up on the board and keep your balance!(5)M:What if I can’t balance on the board?And these waves are huge—what if they crash on top of me?Text6W:It’s great to hear your voice!How have the first few days been?M:Fantastic,Mom!W:Is Shuo nice?M:He’s great!His English is amazing.I’m so looking forward to starting my school life here.(6)W:What’s Beijing like?(6)M:Mostly really busy and modern.But last night,Shuo’s parents took us for dinner and visited an older part of the city.W:Lovely!M:I’m getting much better with chopsticks.Shuo’s older sister has been teaching me. Even his3-year-old brother is better than me!(7)But I’m improving.W:Sounds like you’re learning a lot!Text7W:Hello.You must be Mario.My name is Linda.I’ve been expecting you.M:Hello.Very pleased to meet you.W:Did you have a good flight?M:Yes,although we were late taking off.W:So where are you staying?M:Oh,it’s a small hotel called the Queen Victoria.It’s not far,about a kilometer from here.W:So did you walk here?(8)M:No,I got a taxi to your office.(8)W:That’s good.How long are you staying in London?(9)M:Just a couple of days.Then I’m flying to Dublin.(9)I’ll stay there for two weeks before flying back to New York.W:That sounds nice.I’d love to visit New York some time!Anyway,let’s get down to business.Text8(第10题为推断题)M:Hey,Terri.I haven’t seen you recently.W:I know.I’ve been busy with my family—mainly dividing up my grandmother’s stuff. M:Oh,she was gifting things to your family members?W:Not really.My grandmother kept a diary since she was a teenager.She left these journals for me in her will.I’m so sad that she passed away,but I’m thankful to learn so much about her.M:I’m sorry for your loss.I didn’t know your grandma was ill.W:She was just old.She never needed any operation or hospital visit;she peacefully passed away in her sleep.M:At least that.You must have been pretty upset following this news,though.(11) W:Yes,terribly.But reading her journals has allowed me to connect and understand her in a way I never have before.(11)M:That’s lovely.Do you keep a diary as well?(12)W:Not yet,but I’ll certainly start now.(12)Text9(第13题为总结题)W:What’s the point of spending the majority of our money on the wedding lunch service?Are you sure they can all make it?M:At least,most people can come to dinner and the after-party.Besides,although I’m sad that40of my family members can’t attend,(14)it’ll make the event easier to manage.W:Did you ask your cousins again if they could come?(14)M:Sabrina,they’re all in India.The cost of flying from their hometowns to the UK would be thousands of pounds.(14)W:Well,I hope they can visit in the future.M:I hope so,too.So,have we decided our guest list?W:Yes,we have20people arriving for lunch and an additional30guests coming in the early evening for dinner.(15)Our lunch will be the most costly,(16)as two famous cooks will host it.But our dinner will be simpler;then,the live band will start playing music at9:00p.m.M:I’m so glad everything worked out.Sabrina,I hope this wedding day lives up to your dreams.W:Aw,Dan.Spending this special day with you is my only dream.Text10Steve,you’re becoming a young man,and it’s time that I tell you about the family business.(17)(18)Since you were a child,you’ve been around our wine shop, but I’ve never told you about its creation by your grandfather.(17)As you know,in the1980s,your grandfather moved us from Russia to Canada.At that time,I was a young boy,and the country was experiencing social and economic issues.As a low-income family,we were forced to either stay and wait for conditions to improve or leave and start a new life elsewhere.With1000dollars and a few boxes of clothing,we moved to Canada. This was one of my life’s scariest moments,but I trusted my father.We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment while my father worked at a wine store.Yes,the same wine store that he went on to buy.Then,I helped grow this business to an online store and a national one.(18)Now,I want to teach you about the company.(19)With your help, we’ll create social media pages for this store and open more locations.(19)(20)What is important is that you learn to manage this business and never sell it.*语料优选*▶name<v.>命名；给……起名wave<n.>海浪surf<v.>冲浪Dublin<n.>都柏林journal<n.>日志；日记will<n.>遗嘱connect<v.>连结majority<n.>大部分after-party<n.>余兴派对income<n.>收入location<n.>地方；地点▶public official公务人员keep balance保持平衡get down to着手处理keep a diary写日记social media社交媒体▶Once the wave gets higher,quickly stand up on the board and keep your balance!一旦海浪变高，你就快速站到冲浪板上并且保持平衡！As a low-income family,we were forced to either stay and wait for conditions to improve or leave and start a new life elsewhere.作为一个低收入家庭，我们被迫选择，要么在这里等待条件变好，要么离开，在其他某个地方开始新的生活。

Take advantage of this quieter travel time and book yourself a spring getaway. You won't regret it!LanzaroteLanzarote is a dream in spring. It’s the hottest of the Canary Islands, with average temperatures of 19°C, so you can comfortably hit its beaches. You’ll find several fairs and festivals throughout the island, whether that’s full moon parties, sporting events or the popular religious event of Semana Santa in March/April, when the island comes alive. It’s also the perfect climate to hike Lanzarote’s volcanoes, and witness natural delights.PortugalSpring is an ideal time to visit Portugal. You may have the odd drop of rain, but the average temperatures make up for it, between 10°C and 22°C! It’s a proper time to hike or bike the trails along the Via Algarviana, and venture into the many nature parks with cherry tree blossom. If you’re a football lover then you can enjoy the drama of the final leg of the Portuguese League in May, or you could visit the Iberian Mask Festival in Lisbon, where you’ll find a celebration of local music and handicrafts.SantoriniWhile there are occasional rainy spells, you’ll often find the sun gloriously shining during the spring months of Santorini.

You’ll often find the churches of Santorini alive with activity, as bells ring out to celebrate Easter. For a deeper dive into history, visit the ancient archaeological site of Akrotiri.21. Which destination should you choose if you are a music lover?A. The Canary Islands.B. Via Algarviana.C. Lisbon.D. Akrotiri.22. What do Lanzarote and Santorini have in common?A. Historic sites.B. Sporting events.C. Festival atmosphere.D. Occasional rain.23. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A pre-travel checklist.B. A tourist brochure.C. A travel agency website.D. An entertainment magazine.BLike many of the arts, music flourished during the Zhou dynasty. From this period we have instruments, models of performers, descriptions of musicians and dancers, and the Shijing, or TheBook of Poetry, which contains poems and songs of court and common people during the Zhou dynasty. It is likely that music played an extremely important role in the Zhou dynasty for all social classes.One of the most important sources of information the researchers have regarding Zhou-dynasty music is from the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng (433 B.C.E.). This tomb was uncovered in 1977 in Hubei Province and contained the most extensive and well-preserved set of musical instruments ever found in an ancient Chinese tomb. This four-chamber(室) tomb was designed in imitation of a palace with a central courtyard,reflecting the belief that the Marquis Yi would require the same comforts in the afterlife that he had enjoyed during his lifetime. The central chamber of the tomb, which mirrored a palace courtyard, contained most of the musical instruments found, including a complete set of sixty-five graduated bells fixed on wooden shelves. In addition, twenty-one young women were buried with the Marquis Yi, some of whom were likely his favorite musicians and dancers.The Marquis Yi’s set of s ixty-five bells is remarkable for a variety of reasons. First, they are clearly dated—an inscription(碑文) indicates that the bells were a gift given to him in 433 B.C.E.. Second, the bells were very expensive to produce and to purchase, particularly a set of this size, so they are further evidence of the Marquis Yi’s status. Finally, the bells, along with the other instruments in the room, illustrate what an instrumental band might have consisted of during this period. Scholars predict that it would have required twenty-four musicians to play all instruments at once.There are still many gaps in our knowledge of ancient Chinese music, partly because there was no system for recording music in a written form.24.The Book of Poetry is mentioned in paragraph 1 to _______.A. show the significance of the book.B. describe the meaning of the book.C. represent the life of people in the Zhou dynasty.D. show the popularity of music in the Zhou dynasty.25.According to the passage, what can we know about the tomb?A. It contains a complete set of musical instruments.B. It is designed by the Marquis Yi of Zeng.C. It is of the same size as that of the palace.D. It reflects the wish of the Marquis Yi for his life after death.26.Why is the set of sixty-five bells extraordinary?A. Because it once was an expensive gift.B. Because it was difficult to buy at that time.C. Because it might prove the Marquis Yi’s position.D. Because it needs twenty-four performers to play at the same time.27.What can be the best title for the text?A. A look into the Zhou-dynasty Music.B. An Invaluable Tomb.C. Ancient Musical Instruments.D. The Importance of Ancient Music.CArchan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice（学徒）chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen – the other's sole job was to beat eggs. "She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something," she says.Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That's an impressive feat, given how incredibly challenging it has been for women to soar in high-profile Chinese kitchens.Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even bleaker in Chinese kitchens. There's no denying the work is physically demanding – an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms – but there are other factors at play.In the past, masters of many Chinese kitchens would recruit apprentices and pass their skills to them. Few chefs would risk recruiting a female trainee into that harsh environment.Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset – the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years."Even if it's a male-dominant kitchen, all everyone cares about is food – the cooking. They don't care if you're a male or female. Gender shouldn't matter," Chan says."Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more obstructive（阻碍的）to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens," Chan adds. "It isn't just about how much you want it but how much hard work you're willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can't move them anymore, but the next day, you're stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.28. What can we learn about Archan Chan?A. She got a rapid promotion.B. She does best in beating eggs.C. She is the best female chef in China.D. She made a great achievement in her career.29. What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens?A. Kitchen is a harsh place for women.B. Women are afraid of physical work.C. Customers care about the gender of the chef.D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.30. Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan?A. Strong-willed.B. Open-minded.C. Cool-headed.D. Kind-hearted.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Female chefs have risen to the top.B. Female chefs have long been a minority.C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.DIn almost all electronic devices, there will be chips supporting their functions. Chips, also known as integrated circuits (IC), are the hearts and brains of electronic products.In April, Tsinghua University officially inaugurated its School for Integrated Circuits（电路）, aiming to cultivate talents for the country’s IC industry and make indigenous Chinese chips.The new school will be the first in China to offer a specialized major in the subject. It will focus on developing top-level research talent. According to ChiBaoyong, a professor at the new school, the school will pursue breakthroughs in areas such as electronic design automation and semiconductor equipment. The school will invite experts from the business community to give lectures.Integrated circuits are key to the development of the information technology industry. However, due to the comparatively low technical level in IC development, for a long time, China has had to rely on other countries that are more advanced in these areas. This has made the sector a target for bullying (欺负，欺凌) for the West. For example, the US banned the use of chips made with American technology in Hu awei products. Although China’s IC industry has been on track for high-speed growth in recent years, skillful personnel are badly needed. According to a white paper on China’s IC industry talents released in September 2020, only 511,900 people were working in the sector while in 2022, at least 720,000 such staff will be needed.So the move of building Tsinghua’s new school comes at a good time, noted Caixin Global. A director with the China Semiconductor Industry Association surnamed Ren told the Global Times that more schools like Tsinghua University’s new school are likely to be established as China goes full speed ahead in its industrial upgrade. “The situation is promising,” he said.In order to provide strong talent support to the country’s IC indust ry, integrated circuit science and engineering was upgraded to a first-class discipline in January 2021. And in the 14th Five-Year Plan, China lists semiconductors, used for IC, as one of the seven key technologies it will focus on.Zhang Yong, a hardware engineer from an IC company in Beijing, also said now might be a golden age for the IC industry in China and the young generation will get more opportunities to play to their talents.“For students, IC can be an interesting area to explore in the future,”Zhang said. Heexplained that making a chip is like building a house. “Starting from zero, engineers can complete a work totally by their own design. Since IC is still an emerging area, the work can be challenging and innovative, giving the designers a fu ll sense of accomplishment.”32. What’s the purpose of School for IC?A. It provides experts to give lectures.B. It aims to make chips for foreign countries.C. It will pursue breakthrough only in electronic design.D. It aims to raise talents for the cou ntry’s IC industry.33. What does This refer to in paragraph 4?A. More advanced technical level.B. Comparatively technical low level.C. The ban of the USA in the IC industry.D. Electronic automation and semiconductor equipment.34. Which statement may Zhang Yong agree with?A. IC industry is experiencing an golden age.B. IC can be an exciting era to explore to everybody.C. China encourages young generation to pay more attention to IC.D. As a grown-up era, the work related to IC is challenging and innovative.35. Which word can best describe the future of IC?A. DifficultB. Gloomy.C. UnknownD. Promising.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English.Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages,and the city hosts the successful international film festival each September.It is also home to a popular baseball team the Toronto Blue Jays.Toronto has something for everyone.Moreover,Toronto has been rated one of the most livable cities in the world by United NationsHuman Settlements Programme for many years.At the same time,Toronto is one of the safest,richest cities in the world with the highest standard of living.8.What's the purpose of the text？______A.

A news report.C. A tourist handbook.D. A student's notebook.DYou probably take many steps to protect your computer from getting a virus,but what about your cell phone？Cell phones are basically mini-computers,so,believe it or not,they too can get viruses."Viruses and malware（恶意软件）should not be a major concern to the average consumer who uses their device to make phone calls,take pictures,and download a few well-known apps from the major app marketplaces," Tim Katsch Vice President of iDropped said. "If a user is downloading a lot of apps,changing and exploring settings within the device,and visiting a large number of websites from unknown sources,virus and malware protection should be kept on their mind." If your phone gets a virus it can mess up your data,put random charges on your bill,and get private information such as your bank account number,credit card information,passwords,and your location.The most common way that you could get a virus on your phone would be through downloading an infected app.Viruses can also get on your phone when you click on strange links or open up an email that contains a virus.Connecting to an unsecured wireless network in a public place is also a way for hackers（黑客）to get private information from your device. If you're still convinced that your phone might get a virus,there are anti-virus apps that you can download that will constantly scan your phone to make sure it hasn't developed a virus.Apps like these will also check things before you download them to ensure that they are safe.Another tip is to always look over your cell phone bill every month to make sure there aren't charges from apps that you never downloaded.Technology is getting smarter,but so are hackers,and it's important to always be cautious with anything you do on your phone.Many people store a lot of personal information on their phones,and while that might make life a little more convenient,it can also do a lot of damage if hacked.12.What can we learn from Tim Katsch's words？______A. The wireless network in the public places is safe to use.B. Viruses and malware will most probably attack average phones.C. Downloading a lot of apps will protect your phone from being hacked.D. The average consumer needn't worry much about a virus or malware.13.What's the most common way that your phone gets a virus？______A. Downloading an infected app.B. Clicking on close friends' links.C. Connecting to your mobile data.D. Changing your private information.14.What does the last paragraph convey？______A. Harm set,harm get.B. Every coin has two sides.C. Kill two birds with one stone.D. Technology makes life smarter.15.What may be the best title for the text？______A. Anti-Virus Apps Make Your Cell Phone Safe？B. Viruses and Malware Damage Your Cell Phone？C. Worried About Your Cell Phone Catching a Virus？D. Ready to Fight Against the Hackers to Your Cell Phone？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）How to Be Productive When Working from Home Working from home can be difficult to adjust to.With the current pandemic（流行病）forcing millions of people to stay home,it may be even more difficult to look after your family while trying to manage your workload. (1) (2)Maintaining your regular routine can help establish workplace wellness.According to , "The real power in routines is the way they can help us build momentum,break bad habits,prioritize our lives and make us more efficient."Set your work hours.(3) More than three-quarters of work-from-home employees watched TV on the clock at least once,and nearly 17 percent reported always doing so.Nearly two-thirds of workers admitted checking items off their personal to do lists while getting paid.Set your office hours,and only step away from work during your scheduled breaks or lunchtime in order to stay on task.

Reading Comprehension (2*11=22%)Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Many people think that honesty is a kind of virtue. But does MotherNature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can theylie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying,but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behavedishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps themsurvive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay（西丛鸦）, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos（布谷鸟）have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.55. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps can be selfish tooC. chimps are jealous of the winnersD. chimps are sometimes dishonest56. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.58. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.How do animals learn to lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. Do animals lie?D. How does honesty help animals survive?59. This passage is most probably ______.A. an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB. a school report at the end of an academic yearC. a part of a recommendation letter from a universityD. a self-introduction meant to apply for a job60. According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____.A. a wise leaderB. a good social workerC. a gifted scientistD. a skillful performer61. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A. is good at singing and dancingB. has an interest in being a surgeonC. is about to graduate from a universityD. specializes in psychologyCDirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 3 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than6 words.A lot of people are dying for retirement as a time when they can finally take part in activities that they never had the time or energy to go after before. But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees（退休人员）are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue(疲劳) in people after they got tired while they were still employed.The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions(养老金) that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says. “We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may affect retirees’ health after they leave their jobs－with less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)62. According to some recent studies, retired people may have depression and higherrates of other diseases like __________.63. Westerlund’s group found that in the year just after the retirement most retiredFrench workers felt much less tired both __________.64.
