湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解“Unfortunately, 85 percent of what makes us attractive or less to mosquitoes(蚊子) is hardwired in our genetic circuit board,” says Winegard, author of The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator. Still, there are ways to outsmart summer’s most annoying party crashers, especially if all you want is to enjoy an evening on your patio (露台).Know your blood typeOnly female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs. “She’s just being a good mom,” Wineguard says. “People with blood type O are her top of choice. They get bitten twice as much as people with blood type A, with blood type B falling in between.”Stay cool“Mosquitoes hunt by both smell and sight,” Wineguard says. “They can smell the carbon dioxide and see the heat signature of their target.” Avoiding alcohol can keep your body temperature lower— making you harder to find — so consider choosing a cocktail instead.Wear light colorsAvoiding dark clothing can also keep you cooler, but that’s not the only reason it may offer relief. Mosquitoes, like many biting flies, are attracted to darker colors. The thinking behind this is that the animals they typically feed upon are larger, dark-bodied mammals(哺乳动物).Get rid of standing waterEven a glass of drinking water left on the deck can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs — and mother mosquitoes lay about 100 eggs at a time. “They don’t need very much at all to breed. It can be a backyard toy , like a truck that has a bit of water in it, or a crushed pop can,” says Winegard. If you get rid of it, they’ll go somewhere else to lay their eggs.1．What’s the intention of this text?A．To introduce a new book.B．To offer professional tips.C．To analyze a study of insects.D．To suggest throwing a party.2．Why does a female mosquito feed on human blood?A．To hatch more eggs.B．To raise a large family.C．To identify blood types.D．To fully develop her body.3．What can we learn about mosquitoes according to Winegard?A．They can trace the smell of alcohol.B．They have energy-locating abilities.C．They feed off dark-bodied animals.D．They need abundant water to breed.The Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh, 60, shared some wisdom with the American Film Institute’s newest graduating class in a speech as she accepted an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.She recalled her early years in the industry. After an injury dashed her dreams of going into ballet, Yeoh bounced back at a gym where several stuntmen(特技替身演员)trained and ended up learning some tricks of the trade from them.“The first thing they taught me what to do was to tuck and roll, then how to fall on my side, and then how to fall on my back. And after a while, it dawned on me that they were teaching me how to fall,” she recalled. “And they said to me, ‘How are you going to go up if you don’t know how to come down?’” “That lesson sticks with me to this day. I had to learn how to fall. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added.The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.“These moments taught me perseverance, courage and humility,” she said. “They also taught me to hone my skills and eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains. I’m not asking you all to do that, okay? What I want to share with you today is that our slips and stumbles(绊跌)are the secrets to our flight. Trust me, that’s part of the deal. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. It is from failure that we learn and grow,” Yeoh continued.The Crazy Rich Asians star concluded her speech: “Be courageous, take chances, break barriers, be proud of what makes you unique.” “And most importantly, don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.4．What can we learn about Michelle Yeoh from the first two paragraphs?A．She was tricked by several stuntmen.B．She was passionate about working out in a gym.C．She won a doctor’s degree in fine arts despite her old age.D．She was terribly defeated by an injury and discouraged in her early years.5．What lesson did Michelle Yeoh learn from the stuntmen?A．God helps those who help themselves.B．Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.C．Successful people are learning experiences with others.D．The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.6．What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean?A．Believe.B．Sharpen.C．Restore.D．Dominate. 7．What are the keys to our success according to the text?A．Mistakes and failure.B．Luck and humility.C．Courage and pride.D．Opportunities and skills.“It’s a natural question,”Dr. Holt-Lunstad said the “ideal”number of friends. “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are, this is health relevant.” While she and other friendship researchers admit there aren’t many studies that have specifically tackled the question of how many friends people should aim for, those that have been done offer a range.Dr. Degges-white recently conducted a survey of 297 adults, which has not been published or subject to peer review but found that 55 percent of participants believed two to three close friends was ideal, while 31 percent thought four to six was was the goal. But friendship and intimacy are subjective, and there isn’t a widely used scale researchers share to define those concepts across studies. It’s also unclear how social media factors into all of this, as research suggests the size of a person’s online network may not have any meaningful impact on their perceived well-being.While friendship research offers some standards, it may be more useful for most of us to consider if you need more friends. Dr. Marisa Franco recommends starting with a fairly obvious but powerful question: Do I feel lonely? “Also, different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a larger friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves golf, and this side that loves cars,” she added. “If you feel like your identity has sort of shrunk, or you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate youneed different types of friends.”Of course, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by reawakening old relationships. The amount of time you actually spend with your friends matters, too. Franco suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop. But spending time with friends you feel ambivalent (情绪复杂的) about — because they’re unreliable, critical, competitive or any of the many reasons people get under our skin — can be bad for your health.8．Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with?A．Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.B．There have been guidelines for making friends.C．Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.D．Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.9．How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey?A．It summarized the statistics in previous studies.B．It set standards on the exact number of friends.C．It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.D．It dismissed the influences of social media factors.10．According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.A．your friend circle is large enough B．you have a wide range of hobbiesC．your personal identities are restricted D．you lead an unhappy adulthood life 11．What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco?A．Quantities of time.B．Meeting frequency.C．Your healthy moods.D．Personalities of friends.Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (视觉的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object’s form — and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.Roboticist, Xiaolong Wang in University of California, San Diego and his team wanted to find out if complex coordination (协调) could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data. The researcher attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palmand fingers of a four -fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.The researchers first connected a large volume of touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including ball. Using binary contact information (“touch” or “no touch”) from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully manipulated (操纵) previously unencountered objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the binary sensor data were so simple; the model didn’t rely on accurate measurements.Digging into what the robot hand perceives, Wang and his colleagues found that it can re-create the entire object’s form from touch data, informing its actions. He and his team are set to present thier handiwork at an international conference called Robotics: Science and Systems.New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions with the real world, wonders whether the system would become less effective at more complicated tasks including opening a bottle cap. Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements in future work as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. The researchers will also try adding vision to improve touch data for handling complicated shapes.12．What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors?A．Poor visibility.B．Blocked roads.C．Complicated tasks.D．Inaccurate calculation.13．What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on?A．Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.B．Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.C．Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.D．Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape. 14．What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system?A．Neutral.B．Suspicious.C．Favorable.D．Pessimistic.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Robotics: Science and SystemB．New Robot Rotates Items SkillfullyC．New Robot Hand Works by Feel, Not SightD．From the Computer Model to the Real Robot Hand二、七选五Which is more important for people, book learning or experience? Some have spent their lives studying and gradually acquiring valuable deep knowledge. They are afraid to start andthe book, make mistakes, and learn from this experience.The debate between book learning and experience has been going on for a long time. There is no clear “right answer” yet, but there is strong evidence that experience gives us important skills that can’t be learned in books.17 Of course, reading the best books on learning gives someone knowledge, but experience gives know-how. It comes from practicing again and again. Professionals can make themselves because they devote their work, practice, and time to obtaining this position instead of managing to read books only. This distinguishes them from all the others.Reading more books about something doesn’t lead to success. You can acquire a lot of knowledge by reading, but there are also ways to accumulate knowledge through experience. Knowledge is theoretical, but experience is distinguished by the fact that you can put into practice what you have learned in a book. 18Book learning to understand a concept is important. But if you can’t understand the application of the concept in real time, the concept is useless. Experience allows you to put the learned concepts into practice. 19 You can’t effectively learn important skills without applying these concepts to real life.Certainly, the experience can lead to failure. But you can also learn from that failure and lead to success. 20 Therefore, experience is your greatest ally(盟友) in professional development if you want to understand the theory behind the concept, become an expert inthis field, keep the technique in mind, and gain valuable insights through failure.A．In contrast, others don’t worry about anything.B．You can learn a lot from books on self-learning.C．Of course, with these concepts, experience is acquired.D．This is valuable knowledge that is not found in any book.E．It is also an opportunity to test and challenge your knowledge.F．Through experience, you can also learn how to interact with people.G．Neither scientists nor doctors have read books only and become experts.三、完形填空Growing up in New Delhi, I saw Barbie as more than just a doll. She was the centralbedroom floor.As much as I loved Barbie, our time together could only last so long. Eventually, I grew 23 that I still played with my Barbie dolls while my middle-school friends had all moved onto more “mature” 24 . Barbie became similar with being a fake, “plastic” girl, whose bright pink clothing 25 my friends and me.By the tender age of 12, my friends and I had become 26 all girlish things, and Barbie topped our list of items to grow out of. Every 27 we took up instead seemed either gender-neutral or traditionally masculine (男子气概). For a 28 period I took up watching football to look cool (say exactly a month).Looking back, I feel like we were missing the point: Barbie was simply a blank canvas upon which to draw our ideas. It was our own 29 that we had come to abuse her for wearing pink clothes and having blond hair. That is why I appreciate the way the Barbie movie is being 30 . The movie 31 and Barbie’s bright pink colors are everywhere — there are 100 or more co-brand products, and you can get everything Barbie-pink from sports facilities to make-up and shoes. In Malibu, there is a pink hotel 32 after Barbie’s pink Dream House.In an interview, the director Gerwig said the team had many meetings just to settle on the correct 33 of pink for the movie — one that was beautiful but “not too fashionable”, she said, “because when I was a little girl, I loved the pinkest, brightest things”,without a hint of the 34 that I and my peers had of Barbie all those years ago, which would have been really important to me as an adolescent girl who often felt 35 in her femininity (女子气质).21．A．theme B．character C．argument D．conflict 22．A．assigned B．gathered C．created D．staged 23．A．embarrassed B．satisfied C．curious D．aware 24．A．peers B．hobbies C．ladies D．companies 25．A．involved B．caught C．offended D．connected 26．A．worried about B．passionate for C．content with D．dismissive of 27．A．appointment B．journey C．recreation D．challenge 28．A．difficult B．contemporary C．brief D．spare 29．A．fault B．memory C．experience D．selection 30．A．marketed B．captured C．illustrated D．filmed 31．A．settings B．promotions C．results D．witnesses 32．A．operated B．managed C．organized D．modeled 33．A．symbol B．design C．image D．shade 34．A．imagination B．judgment C．ignorance D．appreciation 35．A．interrupted B．sympathetic C．unsettled D．familiar四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考试卷（一）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Dramatic progress has been witnessed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which benefits from those great contributions some ancient famous doctors made ant some experience they accumulated. The following three stand out among the ancient famous doctors.Hua TuoHua Tuo (145—208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people.Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia (by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented) some 1,600 years before Europeans did.Zhang ZhongjingZhang Zhongjing (150—219), also known as Zhang Ji, was one of the most distinguished Chinese physicians during the later years of the Eastern Han dynasty. He lived in today’s Nanyang in Henan Province. He was known as the “medical sage” by later generations due to his outstanding contributions to TCM.During his time, with warlords (军阀) fighting for their own territories, many people were infected with fertility, an illness caused by fever. Zhang’s family was no exception. The experience stimulated his motivation in medicine. He learned medicine by studying from his town’s fellow Zhan Bozu, absorbing previous medicinal literature, collecting many prescriptions; and finally writing the medical masterpiece Shanghan Zabing Lun. Unfortunately shortly after its publication the book was lost during wartime.Li ShizhenLi Shizhen (1518—1593) was a famous medical scientist the Ming dynasty. He loved medicine from an early age and succeeded his ancestors as a doctor. He not only paidattention to accumulating experience in curing diseases, but also visited the famous mountains where medicinal materials were produced.On this basis, it took 27 years to compile (编著) the pharmaceutical masterpiece, Compendium of Materia Medica, which is known as the “Encyclopedia of Ancient China” and has made an important contribution to the development of classical medicine China. 1．What do the three famous doctors mentioned in the passage have in common?A．Their books never come out.B．They travelled extensively across China.C．They led the way worldwide in their own expertsD．They contributed themselves to the development of TCM.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．Hua Tuo was desperate for reputation and fortune.B．Li Shizhen came from a family of doctors.C．Li Shizhen survived Zhang Zhongjing by 9 years.D．Zhang Zhongjing’s medical masterpiece vanished before published.3．In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?A．Healthy lifestyles.B．Daily entertainment.C．Historical figures.D．Fitness management.On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins -- a girl and a boy -- were born two minutes apart and exactly 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds respectively. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minute but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.“I saw him gasp (大口嘴气), but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.“I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, ” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.”Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his Shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition they then talked to him.“We were trying to let him stay, ” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and that how hard we had tried to have him.”Then something unbelievable happened. Jamie gasped again and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger.The couple’s lost boy had made it.“We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily hardy-held back her tears,” Kate said, “and she kept hugging Jamie with great affection. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.” “They widened their eyes as if there were an apple in their mouths bearing the miraculous experience,” David added. 4．What can we learn about the twins?A．They totally weighed less than 4 pounds.B．They have been in bad condition since birth.C．The couple attempted to save the boy but in vain.D．They came to the world nearly100 days earlier than expected.5．Which is the correct order of the following events?a.

Doctors announced the approaching death of the boy.A．d-a-c-b B．d-b-c-a C．c-b-a-d D．d-c-a-b 6．How did Emily feel when told the story or their birth?A．Touched and challenged.B．Sad and confused.C．Astonished and bored.D．Surprised and moved.7．Which is a suitable title for the passage?A．A life-giving touch.B．A successful medical attention.C．A test from the God.D．First-time but devoted parents.We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are jammed with traffic, creating poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be?There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done?The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. Here are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress cars. These will charge more quickly, and give cars a a bigger range.”Cost is another issue that may deter people switching to electric power. But some countries offer encouraging measures, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the Country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1,000 inhabitants.But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. 8．What makes global traffic difficult to be totally electric according to the second paragraph?A．A ban of the UK government.B．Lack of petrol.C．The small number of charging points.D．A low battery quality.9．According to Colin Herron, what can we learn?A．Solid-state batteries will allow electric cars to travel farther.B．Electric cars will indeed make for a zero-carbon future.C．Solid-state batteries will be initially employed in electric cars.D．Big progress has been made in laptops and mobile phones.10．What does the underlined word “deter” mean in the fourth paragraph?A．Block.B．Suggest.C．Leave.D．Catch.11．What will be most probably talked about next?A．The huge potential of electric cars.B．The unfavorable future of electric cars.C．The eagerness for a zero-carbon future.D．The reasons for not achieving a zero-carbon future.For most people, death is hard to think about. We tend to avoid the subject—involuntarily, even. The philosopher Stephen Cave offers one explanation for this avoidance in his 2012 book, Immorality. “Death,” he writes, “presents itself as both inevitable and impossible.” You can know rationally that you will die, yet struggle to understand your nonexistence. Put another way, you cannot be conscious of your own consciousnesses.So we dismiss death form our thoughts. But this leads us to make choice in life that actually reduce our happiness. People who express more regrets tend to be those who postpone profound activities that yield meaning, such as appreciating beauty or spending more time with loved ones. When we avoid thoughts of death, we unconsciously assume that tomorrow will look a lot like today, so we can do tomorrow what we could today. But when we focus on death, that increases the stakes at play in the present, and clarifies what we should do with our time.By forcing ourselves to think about death, our resources-use decisions change. I ask my 20-something graduate students to estimate how many Thanksgivings they realistically have left with their parents, and then to consider how they should spend those remaining occasions. This usually simulates a strong emotional reaction. But it can also alter such decisions as where they choose to live and work. This highlights that facing discomfort and thinking seriously about the impermanence of your mortal life are important for making decisions that enhance your happiness.There are other benefits. For example, paradoxical though it may seem, considering death can encourage positive thinking, as researchers found in 2007. People prepared to think about their death tended to focus on favorable emotional information around them, and to interpret random words in a pleasanter way. You begin to think extremely clearly, and realize that you have a choice about how to see present moment—and choose the positive.If you insist ignoring your own death, you are likely to make decisions that cause you to sleepwalk through life. You may not be dead yet, but you are not fully alive either. If you canlook across that border with resolve and confidence, you will experience every day fully and deeply.12．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．People’s fear of death.B．People’s escape from death.C．People’s acceptance of death.D．People’s struggle against death. 13．What will happen to us if we don’t focus on death?A．Enjoying a lot more happiness.B．Taking better advantage of time.C．Postponing big things until tomorrow.D．Engaging in more meaningful activities.14．What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning his graduate students?A．To argue for the changes in making big decisions.B．To show doubts about facing discomfort of death.C．To compare students’ different attitudes to death.D．To argue against the necessity of considering death.15．What does the author suggest readers do in the passage?A．Avoid thinking about your death.B．Live a better life by ignoring death.C．Step away from death and live better.D．Think about your death and live better.二、七选五Report reveals CIA behind “Color Revolutions”Recently, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released a report entitled Empire of Hacking: The US Central Intelligence Agency. 16 .According to statistics, the CIA has intervened (干预) in or attempted to overthrow at least 50 legitimate (合法的) governments and caused unrest in numerous other countries over the years, 17 . Examples of these interventions include the collapse of the socialist camp in the 1980s, the “Velvet Revolution”, “Rose Revolution”, “Orange Revolution”, “Tulip Revolution”, and “Snow Revolution” in various countries, and the “Green Revolution” and “Arab Spring”. Analyzing these events reveals that the successful organization of such “ColorRevolutions” depends on the use of communication and command technologies, in which the US is a leading power.18 . This facilitated the technological advances for US intelligence agencies to carry lout “Color Revolutions” abroad. The Internet also played a major role in the “Arab Spring”, with certain US-based multinational Internet companies actively intervening in the form of disinformation, support for anti-government actions, and other methods. 19 . Twitter and Google quickly created “Speak2Tweet” to help anti-government personnel in countries like Egypt and Tunisia maintain contact with the outside world.

They grew up, moved away, and became successful. They remained friends and shared an aim. The aim was to help boys aged 9 to 13 in their old neighborhood. They wanted to act as role models for young boys and to stop them from getting into trouble as they got older.They called their program The Elephant Men after reading how elephant families in Africa surround and protect their young when they are in danger. Reginald and Robert’s program supports the young men in inner cities who are at risk of losing their lives to drugs. Their idea is “protecting our youth with the power and belief of the elephant”.They look for different ways for young men to build respect for themselves and others. One way is to use sports, especially basketball, to bring them together. Another successful program is a four-week summer work program that includes more than 100 young boys. The boys pick up rubbish across the city in exchange for a $200 gift card with which they can buy school clothes. To be part of the program, the boys have to get a reference (介绍信) from an adult at their school who is willing to write something good about them. This gives the boys a reason to do well in school.“We know our program works,” says Reginald. “We have some kids in college now and the best day of the year for us is the weekend before school starts, when we see our boys in the stores buying their clothes and books for school.”4．What did Reginald and Robert hope to do?A．Be good examples for boys.B．Leave their hometown.C．Run their own business.D．Become well-known.5．Why is the program called The Elephant Men?A．It is the name of a book.B．It is based on a true story.C．It aims to protect the elephant.D．It has the same spirit as the elephant. 6．What do the boys need to do to be part of the summer work program?A．Buy clothes.B．Raise $200 for school to buy gifts.C．Collect rubbish.D．Get a recommendation from the school. 7．How does Reginald feel about The Elephant Men program?A．Grateful.B．Satisfied.C．Puzzled.D．Worried.The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths toachieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.8．Why do Human brains remember negative things more easily?A．Because negative things tend to affect human survival immediatelyB．Because negative things are easy to rememberC．Because negative things are much more important than other thingsD．Because negative things can make people live much happier9．According to this passage, in which of the following can people not find happiness?A．making friends B．doing sports C．playing the violin D．chasing power 10．In the last paragraph, what does author try to tell us?A．We should think more about our future.B．We should be positive in our life and work.C．We should focus on everything in our life.D．We should only enjoy the present moment.11．What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A．Why people remember positive things easily.B．Why people remember negative things easily.C．Some habits that make people happy.D．The habits the people form in their life.The Suez Canal (苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea (地中海) and the Red Sea, opened in 1869. It helps speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as non-native species, which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015. The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “movingaquarium” of species. These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400, which is twice the number from 30 years ago.Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey, Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern. But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious. They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”. They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species; they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal. Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species. They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other. And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out. Galil, however, questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species. “One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible (不可逆的) change and know that there was something we could have done about it, if only it had been done on time,” she said.12．What does the first paragraph show?A．Seeing is believing.B．Man will conquer nature.C．Let nature take its course.D．Every coin has two sides.13．What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”?A．Its environment is worsening.B．It connects Mediterranean countries.C．It is widened to include more species.D．It is to protect endangered native species. 14．What do some Egyptians disagree on?A．The results of overfishing.B．The decrease of native species.C．The cause of the increase in invasive species.D．The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.15．What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action?A．Uninterested.B．Doubtful.C．Supporting.D．Understanding.二、七选五For someone who enjoys gardening, gifts for their garden can be very thoughtful and appreciated by them. They can be tools to make gardening easier. Or they can be decorations (装饰品) to make a garden more attractive. 16High quality garden tools can make excellent garden gift ideas. These may be designed with flowers or other gardening pictures on them, or they may be personalized for the gift receiver. Any user-friendly tools for gardeners can be a useful gift. 17Decorations for the garden are some of the more popular garden gift ideas. Animals and small sculptures (雕塑) are generally a good choice. They look good with most types of garden decoration. 18 If a gardener already has a certain style of decoration in his/her garden, try to buy something that fits that style.19 There are many ideas to be found online — using items such as old wine bottles to create lights, for example. The gift receiver will certainly appreciate the time it took to make a gift by hand.Some garden gifts can be very useful. If you know the gift receiver likes birds, for example, you might choose to buy a bird feeder or birdbath for the garden. A stone bench is a more expensive yet very nice gift for a garden as well. 20 These gifts show that you’re really thoughtful.A．That’s why they enjoy gardening.B．Here are some great garden gift ideas.C．It allows gardeners to rest when they’re tired.D．No matter what you buy, they will be appreciated.E．Making something for the garden in person is a nice idea.F．A gardening bag to store these tools can also be a great idea.G．Consider the design of the garden before buying any gifts for it.三、完形填空I spent all of my 30s saying yes.

This is a story of a repair robot R-62.One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepp ed out of the car.“Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one,” said R-62.“Humans are quite clever.

Silence followed the question and he then said, “I don’t need t o answer questions from robots!” He then went into his car an d drove away quickly.“I really don’t understand why humans replaced (取代)themselves with robots,” asked R-62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced(先进的) than humans. They created us to support themselves,” an swered T-59.“But there are so few humans on Earth. What they should do i s take away the robots or at least make them stop doing the w ork which humans are supposed to do,” said R-62.“I agree. But we can do nothing about it.

When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper .In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn m ore, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and gettin g extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relation ship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, suchas bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful s tage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On to p of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they f eel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s w hy they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class. 28．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with te achersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant 29．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning3O．According to the passage, which of the following statem ents is TRUE?A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a goo d result in exams.B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get.C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can t urn to him when in trouble.D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teac hers.31．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept the ir teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students d o.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn ev en if they don’t like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.DA small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to sto p handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturd ay. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be off ered instead.Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ba n plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh alrea dy bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages. Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have pil ed up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television.

高中英语真题：复兴高级中学2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题Word版.doc一、未分类(共6题)k was one of the main human foods long 25________ history was written. It will probably remain one 26________ ________ ________ there are animals that give milk. The old word “milk” came from Sanskrit (梵文), one of the oldest languages 27________ (know) to man. A very old picture of milking animals, drawn five thousand years ago, has been found. People got their milk from their own animals. But in modem times new inventions made the milk industry 28________ big business. In 1851 Gall Borden found a way to take some of the water from milk. This made 29________ keep longer. Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way 30________ (kill) the bacteria in milk. So in the same year a special milk bottle was made. This was followed by the invention of machines that 31________ fill bottles with milk. These discoveries meantbecome less popular than it has been. But remember how long milk has been an important food and think of the many ways in which it is useful. It seems safe to say 32________ milk industry will always be important.2.Every reader of this passage must spend the whole of his waking life 33________ (look) at things. Looking, like breathing, is natural; we do it 34________ noticing it. Looking is passive but seeing is active. Once you startothers have only looked at, and draw conclusions from 36________ they have seen, can add to man’s knowledge and help progress.Someone recently discovered a place 37________ metal had been worked continuously longer than anywhere else in England. He “saw” a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed that among the usual stones of that place 38________ (be) bits and pieces of a different color; they also felt different to the hand. A 39________ (close) sight showed that these pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient peoples who had melted rocks to get metals, looking around, he found more and more information, until the history of what men had done at the place over tens of centuries 40________ (know).3.A. dried B. forces C. world D. benefit E. provide F. freezingG. active H. outdoors I. preserving J. convenient K. technologyFood drying is one of the oldest methods of 41________ food. Since drying reduces the moisture in foods, making them lightweight and 42________ to store, it can be easily used in place of other food preservation techniques. In fact, one can even use drying along with other food preservation techniques such as 43________ or canning, which would make the process of food preservation even better.Drying food is simple, safe and easy to learn. The early American settlers practiced drying food using the natural 44________ of sun and wind, and today, the use of 45________ has revolutionized this method of preserving food. With modern food dehydrators (脱水剂), foods such as fruit leathers, fruit chips, 46________ nuts and seeds and meat jerky, can all be kept year-round at home.Being easy to store and carry and requiring no refrigeration makes dried foods ideal for domestic use as well as for use in the rough 47________.Moreover, dried foods are good sources of quick energy andmoisture. For instance, meat jerky, dried nuts and seeds are good sources of protein for a snack or a meal. The fruit leathers and chips 48________ plenty of quick energy. Dried vegetables, too, can be used to prepare wholesome casseroles (炖菜) and soups and the nutritional value can be enhanced by using the soaking water for cooking. Therefore, dried foods are an easy food option for busy executives, hungry backpackers and 49________ women and children, all of whom can 50________ from the ease of use and nutritional content of dried foods.4.Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, are quite different. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales —it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Desig n Museum, for example, shows atypewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS.)78. According to the passage, design museums are places where ___________________ _________________________________________.79. What kinds of role do design museums play?80. In contrast to design museums, choices open to art museums are more strict and visitors often feel _________________________________ in most of them.81. Some new design museums have been opened lately with the purpose of _________ ___________________________________________.5.1. 你最好别把他们两个安排在相邻的位置上。

One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. 36 that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly 37 her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my 38 . I enjoyed having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.After hearing the loud nois e, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: “ Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”My heart sank and my mind was 39 with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: “Here i s a chance to show Holly 40 you really love. She’ll never forget it.”The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had 41 the brakes and the gas pedal(油门踏板). Holly was unhurt _42__ but when I reached her, she was crying and saying：“Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened(湿润) and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and __43__a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ALong before there wasn’t any Washington or any United States, while there were trader Indians on the shores of the river that flows passing the place where the present Washington D. C. stands. These Indians paddled canoes(独木舟) up and down the river and traded with other Indians, swapping things they had for things they wanted—beads for furs, bows for arrows, corn for potatoes. In the Indian language the name for traders was Potomac, so now we call the river the Potomac River after these trader Indians. The Potomac separates two states—Maryland and Virginia. They are named after two English queens—Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth I who never married and was called the Virgin Queen. The Potomac Indians paddled their canoes down the river until they came to a much broader body of water. This body of water was so big that it seemed to them like the ocean, and they called it “the Mother of Waters”, which in their own language was “Chesapeake”. Though Chesapeake Bay is not the ocean, it is the biggest bay in the United States.56. How did the Indians trade with each other?A. They traded beads for furs, bows for arrows, corn for potatoes.B.

The Atlantic Ocean.BSome years ago, I was caught in a sudden, blinding snowstorm near Indiana, Pennsylvania. My car stalled (抛锚) at the edge of town. I walked into town and into the nearest store. The shop owner phoned for help to get my car out of the deep snow.In a short time, a tall blond man showed up with a team of horses and pulled my car out of the snow into town. I asked him how much I owed him for his trouble. He refused any pay, saying, “I will charge you nothing but the promise that you will help the next man you find in trouble.” I thanked him and made the promise.After he left, the storekeeper explained that the guy who had helped me was a Mennonite (孟诺派教徒) who considered it wrong to charge anyone for a service made necessary by an act of God.Four years later, a friend and I were driving over flooded land south of St. Louis, Missouri. We crossed through water a foot deep without difficulty, but through my rearview mirror (反光镜), I could see that the small car behind us was in trouble. I walked back with difficulty in the water while my companion turned the car around so I could hook up onto his car with chains.We pulled the car out and waited until he got his engine started. Then he offered to pay me. I told him of my experience in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and then repeated the Mennonite’s words: “I will charge you nothing but the promise that you will help the next man you find in trouble.” He promised, and we parted.About a year later, my family and I were camping about a hundred miles from Aurora, Missouri. We put up our tents near the James River. We’d been told that it never flooded at that time of the year. However, the river evidently misread the calendar. I woke up in the middle of the night with a very cold back from water deep enough to cover the canvas（帆布制的）bed. We loaded our wet equipment into our car, but we were unable to drive it to higher ground. I walked to an inn some distance from our camping spot and asked the innkeeper if he could get help to pull us out.Shortly afterwards, a farmer showed up with a tractor and a long rope and pulled us to safe ground. When I offered to pay him, he told me of a man who had helped him get his tractor out of the mud and then said: “I will charge you nothing but the promise that you will help the next man that you find in trouble.”I had never imagined that a man’s act of kindness could have traveled so far and wide.61. From whom did the author first learn the statement “I will charge you nothing but the promisethat you will help the next man you find in trouble”?A. A tractor driver in Indiana.B. A car driver in Missouri.C. A shopkeeper in Pennsylvania.D. A man in Pennsylvania.62. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The author’s car ran out of gas in Pennsylvania.B. The Mennonite thought it wrong to help people.C. The author’s friend also helped to pull the man’s car out.D. The author met the man who helped him again years later in Aurora.63. What can you infer about the character of the author?A. Open minded.B. Wicked (刻毒的).C. Honest.D. Suspicious.64. What is the message of this story?A. Kindness can spread from person to person.B. Experiences of the author in different places.C. How kind American people are.D. How much the author used to like sight-seeing.65. What does the underlined sentence mean? “the river evidently misread the calendar.”A. The river never flooded at that time of the year.B. The river didn’t flood at that time of the year.C. The river flooded all the time of the year.D. The river turned out to be flooded at that time of the year.CBarack Obama defeated John McCain in the longest and most costly presidential campaign in American history. The election results were widely seen as a strong statement by voters(选民) on economy. A public opinion study reported by the Wall Street Journal found that about sixty percent of voters considered the economy as the top issue.Mr. Obama faces the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression(大萧条) of the 1930s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average of leading stocks(股票) has lost nearly thirty of its value. The government seized the nation’s two largest home financing companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It also took control of the huge insurance company, A. I. G. The government is now a share holder in nine of the country’s largest banks. That will expand to small banks, too. The amount spent on these rescue plans has been close to one trillion dollars. That amount could increase.Another problem the new administration faces is the budget deficit(赤字). Some experts predict the deficit for next year’s budget could be close to one trill ion dollars. Some observers predict that the deficit will limit speeding in economic programs.Barack Obama has promised a tax cut for middle income Americans. He is seeking fifty billion dollars in aid for states and job creation programs. Mr. Obama has put forward a health care reform plan that costs fifty to sixty-five billion dollars. Obama is also seeking to spend one hundred and fifty billion dollars on new energy technologies over the next ten years.In addition, Mr. Obama has been discussing a program worth one hundred billion dollars. Itincludes spending in public works projects and aid to American states, cities and citizens.66. According to the passage, the election results suggested ___________________.A. how fierce the presidential campaign wasB. the significance of the election in American historyC. Obama promised to devote himself to economic developmentD. how much money was spent during the presidential campaign67. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is mentioned to show _________________.A. how serious the economic crisis isB. the value of all America’s stocksC. the economy was considered as the top issueD. what percentage of shares Obama has in leading stocks68. We know from the passage that _______________________.A. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are insurance companiesB. the government will become a share holder in small banksC. money spent on the government’s rescue plan will be decreased/reducedD. the budget deficit will not affect the economic programs69. Which of the following statements does NOT belong to Obama’s rescue plans?A. Cutting taxes for middle income Americans.B. Seeking money for job creation programs.C. Putting forward a health care reform plan.D. Stopping spending on new energy technologies.70. The passage mainly tell s us ____________________________.A. the deepest economic crisis in the 1930’sB. the result of the presidential electionC. America tries to save the country’s economyD. how Americans think of the newly-elected presidentPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirections: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualism—the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion.Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.Students in 71. andCanadaStudents in China, Japan and Korea What do they value? 73 group goals and purposes72. of study ·working individually;·forming their own 74. ;·a lot of discussion in theclassroom·listening to the teachers;·75 ;·not much discussionAdvantages ·students learning to76 ;·good for a society that valuescreative ideas·learning much more 77.by the end of high school;·studying more hours each day andmore days each year;·good for a society valuing 78.79 students not memorizing manybasic 80. when andbefore graduationforgetting information easilySECTION BDirections: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．Ihad expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.81. What is a good way to develop better working relations in France? (no more than 4 words，2分)82. Why did the author mention his experience in Thailand? (no more than 10 words，2分)83. How can people from different cultures understand each other better according to the text?(no more than 4 words，3分)84. What would be the best title for the text? (no more than 2 words，3分)SECTION CDirections: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.假如你是李华，你的好友王芳因病耽搁课程将近两周，她很着急。

2021-2022学年湖南省长沙市第一中学高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. Paris is the most wooded city in Europe, and around one quarter of its area is taken up by parks, gardens and other green spaces.Jardin des Plantes: over 28 hectaresThis impressive botanical garden is home to four museums, including the Natural History Museum, which houses a variety of African animals. The gardens themselves boast thousands of species of plants. This is a lovely place to relax and explore the beautiful surroundings.Parc des Buttes-Chaumont: over 24 hectaresIf you want to get off the tourist trail and hang out with true Parisians, this park is the perfect spot for a relaxing picnic or a leisurely wander. It is in the 19th district and is one of the largest parks in Paris. Cross its lake on the suspension bridge, or admire the waterfalls and attractive temples.Jardin du Luxembourg: over 25 hectaresThese beautiful gardens were first laid out in 1612 as the gardens of the Luxembourg Palace. They include a geometric forest, French and English style gardens, as well as a large pond. There is so much to see and do with activities especially for children, such as slides, rides and puppet shows, as well as leisure and sporting activities for adults. The gardens are home to more than one hundred sculptures.Le Parc de la Villette: 55 hectaresThis urban cultural park is so much more than just a park as it is home to numerous music venues, exhibition spaces and cafes. It is also home to no less than 12 gardens, which all follow different themes. The Passenger Gardens, for example, which are built on what was once the sheep market, support a variety of ecosystems, demonstrating the importance of biodiversity.1. Which green space probably suits students who are interested in botany?A．Jardin des Plantes. B．Parc des Buttes-Chaumont.C．Jardin du Luxembourg. D．Le Parc de la Villette.2. Which is special about Jardin du Luxembourg?A．They used to be royal gardens. B．They are Parisian favourite gardens.C．They feature American style gardens. D．They house a variely of African animals.3. What can visitors do in Le Parc de la Villette?A．Visiting museums. B．Attendingconcerts.C．Admiringwaterfalls.D．Watching puppetshows.2. When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van (厢式货车), learning from expert bakers, she wanted to do somethingsimilar. So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.Lemay’s ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy, built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway. Renovations (翻新) were done by her and her dad. Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides, offering a lot of storage space, while the roof top has 400-watts of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga. The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay’s work and hobbies.As Lemay mentions, not only did her father help, but also the rest of her family. Lemay’s mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions, and her sister crafted the leather pulls. It was truly a family affair.Her current nomadic (流浪式的) lifestyle fits well with her work doing audio books, voiceovers, and publishing work. In the end, this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable (可持续的), now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water, electricity, and other daily resources that she uses. But all these day-to-day concerns are balanced with a greater sense of freedom.“It’s almost mind-blowing, it feels like a completely different life because I’m doing the work online, and I can do things on my own schedule. Most of my days are mine — so by living in the van. I can be where I want to be, and do the things I want to do, and spend time outside.”1. Why is the story of a baker and her husband mentioned in paragraph 1?A．It shows a creative way of learning. B．It was spoken highly of by expert bakers.C．It’s an example of strong determination.D．It’s where Amanda Lemay got herinspiration.2. Why was the renovation a family affair?A．All family members contributed to it. B．Its cost was shared by family members.C．It was made to suit the life of the family. D．The whole family gathered to celebrate it.3. What has Lemay learned from her nomadic lifestyle?A．To value every minute of her life. B．To make full use of what she has.C．To keep a balance between work and life. D．To be aware of the real meaning offamily.4. What does Lemay like about living in a van?A．Reflecting on life. B．Forgetting all about work.C．Living at her own pace. D．Being free from day-to-day concerns.3. Rescue workers and thousands of volunteers are not the only ones who have won hearts and minds for their heroic efforts in the search for survivors after Tuesday’s powerful earthquake in Mexico. Fifteen dogs from the navy's canine (犬科的) unit have assisted this week in the rescueefforts at the sites of collapsed buildings across Mexico City, where more than 50 people have been pulled alive from the ruins.Of the canine heroes none is more famous or loved than Frida, a six-year-old white Labrador who in her distinguished service has won praise for her ability to detect people who have been trapped by various natural disasters. Over her admirable career she has found 52 people including 12 survivors in Mexico and other Latin American countries.This week, Frida and Evil and Echo—two Belgian Shepherds that have also been specially trained for rescue efforts were sent to the site of the collapsed Enrique Rebsamen school in southern Mexico City.Equipped with goggles that protect her eyes from dust and smoke, boots to prevent damage to her paws while she climbs over rough ruins, Frida took up her work looking into every bit of the ruins.If Frida detects the presence of a survivor, she is trained to bark to warn rescue workers but if she detects a corpse she stops suddenly before continuing, her handler explained.Eleven children were rescued from ruins at the school but this time human rescue workers rather than the dogs were the ones who located them.However, that hasn’t stopped Frida from becoming a social media star and winning fame this week. Videos and other social media posts that highlight the work of Frida and her impressive record of detecting people trapped by natural disasters spread quickly online.While she has yet to detect anyone trapped in the ruins this week, she and other rescue dogs are continuing to work tirelessly, searching through spaces that humans cannot reach. With the possibility that there are still people trapped alive, time will tell whether she adds to her rescue record.1. What makes Frida a social media star?A．Her rescue records and tireless work.B．Her cooperation with the rescue team.C．Her cool appearance with some special devices.D．Her ability to search spaces beyond humans’ reach.2. What does the underlined word “corpse” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．An article of clothing. B．An unconscious animal.C．A dead person. D．A special signal.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Frida will achieve nothing.B．Frida will probably work miracles.C．More dogs will be sent to the area.D．The rest of the rescue will be done by dogs.4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Severe Earthquakes in MexicoB．Undertaking Rescue WorkC．People Waiting for RescueD．Special Rescuers in Mexico4. It’s a warm June afternoon, and in a group of bushes and trees, a bird sings. A small insect climbs over a leaf. The Muziekplein forest, next to an 18-story building and a railway line, is about the size of a basketball court; before it was planted in 2018, the area was a parking place. The forest is one of seven such extremely small forests in the Dutch city of Utrecht, and 144 across the Netherlands. By the end of this year, according to IVN Nature Education, the organization proposing the country’s initiative, there will be 200.Since the first forest was planted in the Netherlands in 2015, the concept has become popular. Daan Bleichrodt, who launched IVN’s Tiny Forest initiative with the goal of making it easier for children to get into and connect with nature, said that he thinks it is popular because people are becoming more aware of major environmental challenges. It’s a very practical way to do something positive in the light of climate change and loss of biodiversity.Jeroen Schenkels, a senior adviser for the city of Utrecht on green planning, said he sees the mini-forests as nature-based approaches that are able to help the city weather heat waves and improve water retention(保持). But one of the biggest interests is social. “One of the most import ant things is that they give people the opportunity to be involved in nature in the neighbourhood,” Schenkels said.Between 2018 and 2020, 40 different plant and animal groups and 121 total animal species were found in the Muziekplein forest alone. According to Wageningen University researchers, across the 11 tiny forests in their study, volunteers observed 636 animal species. They also identified 298 plant species in addition to the original species planted in the plots. Maintenance of the forests occasionally involves removing aggressive weeds, but in general new plant species, such as wildflowers that appear, are allowed to grow.1. What is special about the Muziekplein forest?A．It is newly planted.B．It sits in an urban area.C．It grows along a railway.D．It is shaped like a basketball court.2. What’s the purpose of the Tiny Forest initiative?A．To call for action on climate change.B．To increase the Netherlands’ biodiversity.C．To warn people of environmental challenges.D．To make nature more accessible to children.3. What docs paragraph 3 focus on?A．Benefits of mini-forests in cities.B．Ways to keep neighbourhoods green.C．Inspiration for planting forests in cities.D．Importance of being exposed to nature.4. How does the author state the forests’ effect on biodiversity?A．By doing experiments.B．By giving examples.C．By listing figures.D．By making comparisons.5. Habits to Be a Highly Effective StudentSome students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA (Grade-Point Average) above a 3.0. And they seem to spend all of their time in studying. Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is different, good study habits are very important. 12 If you haven`t had a planner(规划薄), get one. Many people use their computers and smartphones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions(分心的事物). Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner.Create a weekly schedule. 3 Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to school work. That way you know exactly how much you can accomplish each day.Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed. 4 If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or a quick chat with a friend.Take care of yourself. During final exam week, it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular meals. Studying while hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run. Also try to make time for friends and family. 5 .6. A series of severe thunder storms struck our area recently.
