AI clearly remember my mom telling me to drink milk every day—one glass in the morning and another at night.I also remember loving it while my sister thought quite the opposite—she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mom for making us drink a lot of milk, so rich in calcium(钙), during those important years.Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s.The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis(骨质疏松症)will set in.That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium.Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements(补充物).There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),oyster(牡蛎)shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements.You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take.This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body.So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them.Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage(剂量)and manner of intake.You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs.21. From what the author’s mother did we may inferthat___________________.A.her children had osteoporosisB.she knew her children would benefit from milkC.she must have suffered from osteoprosisD.she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order22. Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60sB.Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium.C.We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every day D.Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage23. What does the underlined word “surreptitiously”in the firstparagraph probably mean?A.Honestly B.Frankly C.Secretly D.Curiously24. We may infer from the last paragraphthat____________________.A.what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not workB.one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctor C.the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take inD.it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidanceBPeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced fo od and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you arevisiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect.●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats. Endangered speciesSome gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting.There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere tovisit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.25. According to the passage, we can _______ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot26. We should check the gifts and foods before buying because______.A. sometimes they are of poor qualityB. they may not be typical local productsC. some of them will do harm to our healthD. they may be made from endangered animals or plants27We can infer from the passage that ______.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats28. The passage is mainly about ______.A. travel enjoymentB. the harm to the environmentC. protection of endangered animalsD. greener choices for holidayCIt’s said that professional footballers in the USA can make millions of dollars throughout their careers. Yet statistics show that many eventually run out of money once their playing days are over. The University of Pennsylvania wants to change that andhelpteach American footballers how to rebuild their lives when their sports careers come to an end.“All their life they have focused on football. Deciding what comes next can be difficult.”Says professor Morvarid Taheripour, the head of the athletes’project. “Some people say athletes die two deaths. You kind of die when you stop playing and you die in real life. So they’ve got to come back to life and figure out ‘How am I going to make a living at 25 for maybe another 40 years?”For Taheripour, the partnership with professional athletes is a dream to come true. “It was taking everythin g I love about teaching and yet being able to influence people who are accomplished and hard-working, yet very modest.”But even with help, figuring out the next chapter isn’t easy. Statistics show that 78 percent of professional football players are penniless, divorced or unemployed two years after retiring from their sport. The program tries to help players develop a plan for life after sport and 220 athletes have taken part over the past six years. Darwin Walker is one former student who avoided being a statistic. Today, he runs a number of successful businesses and thanks football for his accomplishments. “The concepts I learned about leadership have all come from playing the game of football,”says Walker. “The amount of study, amount of commitment, and timethat you have to put into it is very much like being a successful business person.”Shifting the skills learned on the field to the workplace seems natural to some, but the numbers show that’s not the case for everyone. Taheripour’s message to his stu dents is a serious one:This is the time to build for the future, he tells them, because no matter how long your athletic career lasts, you are so much more than just an athlete.29 By saying “athletes die two deaths”, the author means ________.A. athletes suffer too many failures in their lifeB. athletes have a sports life and a real lifeC. being an athlete contributes little to lifeD. athletes’later life can be easily rebuilt30. .Why is it difficult for professional athletes to decide what comes next?A. They might have not thought of this during their playing days.B. They have no idea whether to leave the game or not.C. They think as athletes they can make more money.D. They’re not willing to accept a new career.31. What does Darwin Walker manage to avoid?A. Making his sports career come to an end.B. Being unsuccessful in rebuilding his life.C. Going through the problem.D. Making a difference.32. What does the last paragraph imply?A. An athlete should think about more than his athletic career.B. An athlete’s sports career couldn’t last very long.C. An athlete should end his career earlier to build his new life.D. The longer an athlete’s career lasts, the more respect he receives.DDuring World War I, a German spy called Reginald Rowlandworked in the United Kingdom gathering information for Germany about the British army. A box of talcum powder (爽身粉) and other lotions (护肤液)with materials to write secret messages were found in his room when he was caught by British soldiers. He also used invisible (看不见的) ink on shirt collars, in pens, and mixed with cakes of soap to send secret messages.So, if you want to send secret messages, you will need:lemon,a bowl,a thin paintbrush or toothpick,white paper,a hairdryer or light bulbDirections:1. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze (挤) the juice into a bowl, and remove any pulp (果肉).2. Dip the paintbrush or toothpick into the lemon juice.3. Write your message or draw your map on the white paper, working quickly so that you can see what you have written before the lemon juice dries.4. When the juice dries, your message will not be seen.

高二下学期英语期末考试试题(附答案)一、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,共30分)(共4题;共30分)1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案,并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

THINGS TO DO Visit the Abbey(修道院) The remains of this historic monument, which originally was a shrine(圣所) to Saint Edmund, a Saxon King, are well worth a visit. The Abbey is also surrounded by beautiful gardens, andis located next to the St. Edmundsbury Cathedral.

Good things come in small packages though, and The Nutshell serves some of the region's finest drinks, as well as having fascinating historical items and photos. Go around the brewery shop At the Greene King shop you can taste and buy some of the local beer, as well as food such as chutney. There are also clothing and other great gift ideas available to buy. Several attractions are listed, but feel free to explore on your own. A Course Assistant will be around to help you throughout the trip but they will not act as a guide. 21.

The visitors are advised to_______.

It is used by athletes, musicians, actors, speakers, and others to improve their performance in stressful situations. How does it work? Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber : Right before a big race, I’ll picture myself running, and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind. Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in… behind someone, being pushed, different positions on the track, laps to go, and, of course the final part. And I always picture myself winning the race, no matter what happens during the event. Of course, Huber doesn’t w in every race sheruns, but research has shown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance. It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright. The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech. Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak. See yourself at the lectern(放演讲稿的讲桌),self-assured, making eye contact(接触)with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm, clear voice. Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying. Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best. As you create these images in your mind’s eye, be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech. Don’t allow negative images to affect the positive ones. Acknowledge your nervousness, but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation. If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble, visualize yourself getting through it without any problems. And be specific. The clearer your mental pictures, the more successful you are likely to be. As with your physical rehearsal(排练)of the speech, this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak. It doesn’t guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it-and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation. But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation. 24. Huber’s visualization of her races _______.A. is detailed and thoroughB. is used during the eventC. is based on real picturesD. is created with other runners 25. According to the text, if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech, you should ______. A. ignore the negative aspects B.do the mental imaging later C. imagine finishing it smoothly D. create clearer mental pictures 26. What do we learn about mental rehearsal? A. It usually produces the desired results.B. It may be a good way to calm you down.C. It is more important than physical rehearsal.D. It is a good chance to show your imagination. C In Africa, wild baboons(狒狒) like banding together to find food and protect each other. They may not be the smartest species, but like all animals, survival instincts(本能) are programmed into their DNA. They know that being together makes them safer. Now think about your school. Sure, no one is trying to eat you alive, but you too are a social animal. And you are one who has been thrown into a fierce environment. From day one, you sense that there’s safety in numbers. And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs, you feel more secure. “When I first walked into my new high s chool last year, I was so nervous,” says Mike, 15, a high school student in New York City. “Everyone sat and walked together, in twos or threes ― sometimes as a ‘group’ of five or more people. I didn’t understand how I would ever belong.” Mike isn’t alone.In a survey, 63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular, and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups. It is believed that to be popular is to be liked. But all popular people aren’t necessarily liked. They just ma ke rules. Popular groups aren’t the only ones making rules. Zoe, a freshman from New York, says that even her close crew, which calls itself the “booknerds(书呆子),” has unspoken guidelines. When Zoe wears makeup or a dress, her friends act like she's betraye d them: “They’ ll say,‘Oh, she's painting her nails. She's a popular girl now. ’They’re joking, but they’re not, if you know what I mean. It makes me upset." “Because of the way the teen brainworks, differences are seen as threatening,” says researcher Al exandra Robbins. “But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood.” Take, for example, Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5. In high school, he was a “nerdy, awkward kid crazy about music.” Now he's successful and famous. Th en there’s Taylor Swift: Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her, she put her energy into songwriting. 27.When Mike first came to his high school, he_______. A. was excited to make new friends B. was proud of his new pretty school C. was pretty nervous about his coming exams D. was worried about finding new companions 28.
