You have asked me for advice on your problems. I hope my following ideas will be of help.Nervousness not only does harm to our health but also has bad effects on our studies. So I think it very important to have a right attitude towards exams. Exams are only a way of checking what we have learned. Therefore, there’s no need to worry too much about the results of the exams. Before an exam, making a scientific study plan and keeping a peaceful mind can help us reduce stress. We can also relax ourselves by listening to music or doing some sports. Besides, enough sleep and a balanced diet will work as well.Follow my advice and you will enjoy your school life soon．Looking forward to your reply!Yours,Li Hua 【解析】【标题】江苏省高邮市2019-2020学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷【结束】。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860－1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting（推广）education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907－1964)If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness(意识) of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O'Connor(1930－present)When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court(最高法院). O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913－2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. The simple act put Parks in prison. But it also caused the Montgomery bus boycott(抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and started the civil－rights movement. ‘The only tiredI was, was tired of giving in.’ said Parks.21.What is Jane Addams famous for in history?A. Her social work.B. Her teaching skills.C. Her efforts to win a prize.D. Her community background.22. What was the reason for O'Connor's being refused by the law firm?A. Not having training in law.B. Her identity as a woman.C. Her little work experience in court.D. Her poor living conditions.23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers.D. They are law-lovers.BMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols (符号) made up of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward(奖赏). The researchers then tested how the monkeys added the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would appear on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen, they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they touched the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.After carrying out hundreds of tests, the researchers found that the monkeys would choose the higher values more than half the times, showing that they were performing a simple addition, not just memorizing the value of two numbers.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate（低估）a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 rather than the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a small part of the smaller number to it."This shows that there is a certain way in which numbers are represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one. "24. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They trained them.B.

Science.CI must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child are almost about books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was completely inspired by the nice way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, "I can’t believe what’s written in the newspaper this morning," made me want to take it suddenly out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend(假装) to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," Iknew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and t o make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that my teacher asked us to, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that happen in real life. I thought anything too general left too much room for argument.Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my worries and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what method the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.28. Why did the author want to take the newspaper suddenly out of mom’s hands?A. She was dying to know what had happened.B. She wanted mom to read the news to her.C. She couldn’t wait to destroy the newspaper.D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.29. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows ___________.A. her special way to find a placeB. her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC. her effort to remind mom to respect traffic rulesD. her growing desire to know the world around her.30. The author thinks of novel reading as a way to___________.A. develop a love for learningB. explore a mysterious landC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world31. What could be the best title for the passage?A. The Magic of ReadingB. Growing Up with ReadingC. The Pleasure of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManDWhen a language dies, so does a special way of seeing the world. Time is running out for many languages. Experts expect that of about 6,700 languages around the world, 40% could disappear by the end of the century. The UN has made 2019 the International Year of Native Languages to draw attention to the problem. Slowly, countries are devoting more efforts to it.Canada aims to pass a Native Language Act before its elections in October 2019. The act would give more than 65 languages spoken by First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples national recognition(认可) and teaching resources. In government-funded boarding schools, which operated from the 1880s to 1996, native children faced beatings or electric shocks if they were caught using their native languages. "But we want to put the same amount of effort to revitalise native languages as Canada put to destroy them, "says Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.Legal recognition for a language is the first step to bring a native culture back from disappearance. Maori is one of the success stories. When it became one of New Zealand’s official languages in 1987, less than 20% of the Maori population spoke it well enough to be regarded as native speakers. Today it is off the endangered list.The second step is to teach a new generation of native speakers. Technology is a big help. Duolingo, a popular language-learning app, recently added Hawaiian and Navajo to its courses. BASABALI, another language-learning app, uses Facebook to reach speakers in the countryside. Say it in Saami is an online dictionary that translates modern lingo into languages spoken by the Sami people in Northern Europe.Saving rare languages needs people to defend them. Bali now asks officials to use Balinese on Thursdays. The UN year will start projects that could save thousands of languages. The challenge in 2019 will be to get others to listen and start talking.32. The writing purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. introduce the action taken by countries to stop native languages disappearingB. explain what the UN has done to prevent native languages goingC. describe what Canada has done to save languages spoken by First NationsD. analyze the reasons why we should protect native languages33. What does the underlined word “revitalise” in Paragraph 2mean?A. Destroy.B. LearnC. SaveD. Remove34. According to the passage, how can we save rare languages?A. Name a year as the Year of Native Languages.B. Ask students to learn native languages by electric shocks.C. Develop online dictionaries to help students to learn English.D. People need to make efforts to learn or speak native languages.35. What attitude does the author hold to the International Year of Native Languages?A. UninterestedB. SupportiveC. ObjectiveD.
